Posted on February 13, 2012 by jewairaopen marriagesDo open marriages really work? If you want more than one partner, then why get married in the first place you might ask. After reading the article Open Marriage: Getting Our Sexual Super Powers Back, I found myself admiring the compartmentalizing involved in the whole process by the author, her husband and the other couple.
It is hard for me to imagine a wife or a husband involved in such a situation where emotions are involved. Complete agreement on all sides, in addition to a very generous amount of trust definitely need to be the basis of such a consideration. How would one deal with potential feelings of insecurity? How could one control the sudden onslaught of jealousy, even if one is not an overtly jealous type?
The article was written under a pseudonym. The idea of open marriages is not openly acceptable in its entirety even in the West. People would rather blame and curse those indulging in infidelities than deal with the idea of consensual open marriage which is unsettling to their basic nature of categorizing human characteristics.
Certainly open marriages is not a novel or new idea. Sex within and without the institution of marriage has long been subject to many variations and styles. Perhaps now people are more open to share experiences and more likely to find like-minded people over the Internet than in previous times.
