Non-Monogamy: In Other Words an Open Marriage (Ours That Is)

By: Dwight Hardtigan (View Profile)

To which my answer was, of course! But I would not do it because I did not want to be unfaithful to her, but yes, it has been a fantasy of mine. That is when she said to me that she would not do it at all if it was only her, or to put in another way, she wanted to make sure I was not left out in the cold. By this time, I was completely shocked because that I did not expect all, never in a million years, so after a few months and discussing it and making sure we understood each other and laying down some ground rules and what we would and would not do as well as always keep everything in the open, never sneak around and always being honest with each other. Together we found a swingers website after doing some research on how to go about it, we posted an ad and with in a few months we met a couple, we all talked for a few months got to know each other and got to be friends and once we were all comfortable with each other and laid down some ground rules. We did the deed so to speak, my wife with her husband and I with his wife, we were all in the same room as well in separate rooms also, we went to their home, they came to ours, I guess the best way to put it is that we as a married couple were dating another married couple. I can still honestly say that we all enjoyed the time we all spent together and yes that means even when we were just sitting around talking and just having good conversation.

Even though it only last a several months, we have never looked back with regret at all, why did it all end? Well, for one we were all getting a little to close and the other couples wife really wanted to try being with another woman for the first time and my wife did not really want to be with another woman. (Which I might add that we did try at one time and it just did not work.) I must say that, that kind of lifestyle is not easy and can get tricky and at times complicated if one is not careful and if and when feelings get involved, it just gets even more complicated if that is not what is expected and or desired.

I liked your story, Dwight! And, like Jenny Block, I too am loving that the concept of Open Marriage is coming "out of the closet". Let's all keep writing stories about Open Marriage and bring it out even further, shall we? Take Care. Sexie Sadie ~ confessionsfrommyopenmarriage.blogspot.com/

I really enjoyed reading about your experience as my husband and I are in an open marriage as well. It can be tough. But it is also wonderful and has been worth all of the steps we had to take to get here. I appreciate you sharing your story. I think a lot more people are living this way than we know and writing like this really helps our visibility.

Well now Ivy, I must admit that I sure was not expecting the type of responce you gave, but on the same hand I must also say, I am very pleased that you did. It was a pleasure to hear of your expierence and how much you and your husband enjoyed the pleasures of sharing each other with someone else, because in all honesty that is just what you two have done as well as my wife and I. And I must say...You go Girl. And I can honestly say that I know just what you mean, I mean I really do, because I to think that I have UnLeased an Animal In my wife, as well as having learned some of her deepest desires that she would not have other wise spoken of. Even til this day she has a bit of a hard time talking to me face to face about what, how and the way she enjoyed her self, well unless we do it through e-mail. But Yes I know all to well what you mean by Unleasing an Animal. I am happy for you and wish you and your husband the best, again it was great hearing of your expierence.

I'm 29 & have been married for 8 yrs. My whole non-monogamy situation started a few years back when my husband asked if I was ever with a woman or if I had any interest in being with one. I told him that I kissed a girl in high school & that I had fantasies of sexual relatiuonships with women, I was always intrigued by another woman's feminitity & sensaulity. Then he asked if I would want to try & we both had sex with a female friend. At that point it was the most sexy, daring experience either one of us had ever had, it was his first time with 2 women. We continued to speak about fantasies, we would watch porn & ask each other would you do that, or would you like to see me do that.Our marriage is wonderful, even though we married young we have still been able to explore ourselves sexually with an understanting that we only party together.Since that first time we've had other encounters, even a full swap with another couple. I still want double penetration. He unleashed an animal in me
