Are you in a committed, long-term relationship? Yes
Do you identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, queer, or other?
I identify as queer, my s.o. identifies as lesbian
Are you 18-29, 30-49, or aged like a nice wine? We are both 30-49
Do you identify as male, female, butch, femme, transgendered, or other?
We both identify as female
If your spouse/partner would be supportive and accepting of the idea, would you (do you) explore open relationships/sex outside your primary relationship? We are currently in an open relationship and have been since the relationship's inception.
If so, why? If not, why not? We choose an open relationship because we are like minded in the idea humans, by nature as primates, are not monogamous. It seems that many relationships rise and fall on the issue that one of the members had sex with someone outside the primary pair bond. As if sex were the most important thing in the relationship. As if limerence did not wear off in approximately 2-3 years. (the time it takes, by the way, to rear a child out of the dangerous period of complete dependence). We decided to honorably and from the beginning create a relationship, platform of negotiation, guidelines, communication tools and openness that allowed us as individuals to express ourselves sexually, with other people within the mutually satisfying perimeters of a committed relationship.
We have been together 4 years and thus far things are working very well.
To give you some background, I have been in several open/polyamorous long term relationships and this is my partner's first.


I hope this helps your work, Laerkin. If you have any more questions feel free to PM me.
