Built on trust, understanding and commitment for one another, open relationships have unfairly earned a bad rap. For those who don’t know the basis of these arrangements, here are of the most popular myths about open relationships.
They’re Sex Addicts
Arguably the biggest misconception about open relationships is that all parties involved have an insatiable sexual appetite. It’s true people in open relationships are interested in exploring sex with others, but that isn’t usually the main motive for choosing this lifestyle.
They Can’t Commit
This is categorically false. Open relationships are built entirely on trust and commitment to one another. While partners may engage in outside sexual activity individually or as a unit, the main focus is on the health and stability of the primary relationship. Parameters, limitations and expectations are generally discussed and agreed upon in advance which further exemplifies the devotion between one another.
They Aren’t Attracted To Each Other Anymore
While reasons behind an open relationship are as complex as the people involved, loss of attraction typically doesn’t factor in. Open relationships are more about exploring your sexual desires for someone else, rather than being less attracted to your current mate. The connections and the chemistry are still all there – there’s just a lot more of it to experience elsewhere.
They Don’t Know What They Want
From the outside looking in, it’s easy to understand why those unfamiliar with the lifestyle would assume one attracted to multiple partners doesn’t really know what they want. But in reality, open relationships are inherently focused on a person experiencing what they want.
They’re Always Hitting On Their Friends
This goes back to the myth that portrays poly people as sex fiends. True, they are looking to have romantic and or sexual relations with others, however, just because you come in close proximity of someone who is poly, doesn’t mean your an automatic target. Just like traditional dating, ‘the friend zone’ still exists.
