Are open relationships practical?

It says on Wikipedia: 'An open relationship, also known as a non-exclusive relationship, is an intimate relationship that is sexually non-monogamous. The term may refer to polyamory, but generally indicates a relationship where there is a primary emotional and intimate relationship between two partners, who agree to at least the possibility of intimacy with other people.'

Open relationships can be very tricky, because a lot of elements are involved. It doesn't only become a physical thing and sometimes it also turns into an emotional attachment.

For example, what are the benefits of an open relationship? What are the do's and don’ts? What must you be able to understand before you agree? There is just a lot of thought that has to come into play before you let a third party join your relationship.

But for some, it comes easily and naturally, as they prefer it to a normal relationship. Each to their own, right?

But, KZN, we want to know from you, are open relationships practical?  

And if the tables were turned, would you be game if your partner did a U-turn whilst in a relationship with you and said that they may want to see other people whilst still with you?

Listen to the podcast to hear what KZN had to say:
