Are you in a committed, long-term relationship? Dating.
Do you identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, queer, or other? Lesbian
Are you 18-29, 30-49, or aged like a nice wine? 49
Do you identify as male, female, butch, femme, transgendered, or other? 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? Yes. She isn't likely to become my girlfriend or partner if she isn't nonmonogamous, or unless she has no problem with me being nonmonogamous.
If so, why? If not, why not? I'm not wired for monogamy, and I'm not interested in shoe-horning myself into a restricted relationship which wouldn't work for me. I'm always scrupulously honest, and expect the same of my girlfriends/partners.

I did the online survey...but I think I screwed up. I read the "How do you identify" question as "How does your partner identify" (don't ask me why...I am blaming it on lack of sleep. lol). I identify as femme...my partner is a male-identified butch. I hope this doesn't screw up the survey.
