What Is Your Take On Open Relationships!

 What is an open relationship?

Have you been involved in an open relationship before? How was it? How would you advise those who are also considering it? What are the Pros and Cons associated with this form of relationship?

According to the Wikipedia search, Open relationships include any type of romantic relationship (dating, marriage, etc.) that is open. An "open" relationship is where one or more parties have permission to be romantically or sexually involved with people outside of the relationship. This is opposed to the traditionally "closed" relationship, where both parties agree on being with one another exclusively. This practice has been on since 1970.

The types aren't our main point of view, but the success rate is.

What is the success rate?

While being in an open relationship can be rewarding, it takes a lot of work. Some research indicates that open relationships have only an 8 per cent success rate. “Any time a couple decides to do anything of importance in their relationship, they need to make sure that they’re creating a win-win situation for both people,” says Gabrielle Usatynski, a couples and family therapist, and founder of Power Couples Education. @ Katie Couric Media.

What are the complications?

The risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections is higher among individuals who engage in sexual activities with more than one partner. Moreover, there are psychological and behavioural implications reported by some of the participants who are either in consensually nonmonogamous relationships or partial open relationships.
