If you are surprised that free love relationships exist and work, you will be left speechless when you learn about the different types of open relationships.
Now that there is so much talk about new ways of loving in which fidelity is called into question, many of us already know what an open relationship is. What we did not know is that there are several kinds of them.
5 types of open relationships
platonic open relationship
In which one or both members of the couple, by mutual agreement, decide that they can have flirtations with third parties (virtual or face-to-face), but without ever allowing them to materialize in sexual relations.
polygamous
This type is perhaps the oldest open relationship, as it has been practiced by various cultures throughout the history of mankind; It consists in that one of the members can have more than two partners, all sexually exclusive for him.
Although it is generally the man who has his «harem», there are also cases in which it is the woman who has several husbands or boyfriends who only have sexual relations with her.
swingers
Both agree that one (or both) can have sexual relations with third parties within the swinger context, which implies sexual encounters without romance in swinger parties, closed communities, apps, etc.
Polyamory, the most open of all types of open relationships
The members of the couple agree to have multiple relationships with a different number of people, of a diverse gender, which may or may not be in their own separate relationships or involved in it, and are of a sexual and romantic nature.
monogamish
It is when the couple agrees that one or both can have a free pass from time to time or in some specific moments of the relationship, like in the middle of a long trip alone, for example.
