Just curious of your opinions & if they work. Can a person love someone & have sex with others & it not get in the way if both parties are ok with it?

Yes, a person can love someone and have sex with others,
can't imagine it not being a problem though.
I know 'both parties' who agreed...never worked out for any of them.

I'm sure with some that will work but...............for me I missed the class on sharing..........I don't share well at all.......the way I see it if both partners are satisfying each other needs they want have time for another to be in the picture.

And if they are not then it is time to move on...............

i would say a big no! i couldnt let the person i loved sleep around or do it myself. if they are ok with it i dont think they really love you?

open relationships can work but they take 2 certain kinds of people

sex and love don't always mean the same thing to everyone...

Must be to old fashioned. I don't want to share

mainly the type of people that are really sexually free but still want like a main person they can be on other levels with like talking and have someone they don't mind sharing space with at the end of the night, someone to come home too.....but again both parties have to be certain types of people. the type where feelings don't get in the way

Japanese Business Men have done this for may years

Not uncommon for Men in the countries I have visited to have multiple wives, as far as America not so sure, One person can be in a relationship and truly love someone and have something on the side and not tell there spouse and get away with it and not let it affect the or feel guilt,
There are evolutionary traits in Men to want Multiple women but now that we are a modern day society we should be able to control our animal instincts and truly love one person and be devoted, "should" being the magic word not necessarily be the case.

Open relationships are odd and new to me I have kinda been in one but it wasn't serious and I called it dating and we weren't in love

Shure you could love someone and have sex with someone else... but even if they claim to be ok with it, would that not be complicated?
Is the message then I love you but you suck in bed, so I need this side dish?
If the Love partner is ok with this would you not think eventualy he (or she whatever) would not feel like seconds?, and I guess if it is never going to be a lifelong partner than that would be different too.
If you flip it around would you be fine with your partner you love having a side dish?
Or lastly if you are both taking the swingers road then throw the rule book out anyways.
My .02

Most of the time when someone has a side dish there spouse don't know about it. And it just because you have a side girl or guy in a womans case doesn't even mean your spouse is bad in bed.

I enjoy monogamous relationships truly but I also do like dating,
Open Relationships in my opinion don't really work one eventually gets jealous so even if they seem ok at first just a matter of time it will suck,

People say I love you and I just F**k her I say sex can be a physical act of Love
