“id88viper88id:
I am just as you said in this video:
My intent is to be honest with the person whom I wish to share my life with. I think that the biggest hallmark of our times is that people are too afraid to trust each other, even when already being in a relationship, and thus they don’t tell to each other what they would really like and how they would like things to be”
The above quote is axactly the same thing as I said in my comment for this video. More than that, I can say that I’m not the one that could be in an open relationship. Perhaps I don’t fit to our today’s global culture, but when I’m with someone, I just must feel this unique bond between us two. I just couldn’t imagine my boyfriend (yes, I want to be with another man) doing the same intimate things with others, just the way he would be doing them with me.
I even think and am sure that I’m not the only person in this world that has such virtues and sees it all this way, but most of us is just too ashamed to admit it in their real lifes. It is just sort of demanded that we all should be tough and we feel enforced to hide most of our true emotions.
I don’t even want anyome to get me wrong that perhaps, as a young person, I feel that I could change the world. Such a track of thinking would certainly be a non-sense and a high level of misunderstanding. I can just say that the eagerness to be honest in a relationship, should be coming out of us itself

Sorry for the mistakes: it should be “quotation and “exactly” – it’s late here where I am and due to this I made these misspellings, sorry

When I think of an open relationship, I think of the freedom you give each other to sleep around, or have multiple partners. I agree that honestly is crucial in any relationship as well as communication. Without those two components a relationship won’t last long. I don’t agree with you, however, when you say that gay men can’t fit into the monogamous roll. Not all gay people sleep around, and there are even more gay people that find someone to spend the rest of their live with.

He said, “Someone taking a s**t on your chest.”
Freudian slip, no doubt.
September 25, 2008 at 5:31 pm
These talky-blogs are getting funnier and funnier! Ya-Man! I guess an open relationship to me would mean not just being honest, but also not withholding anything from your partner.
September 25, 2008 at 6:19 pm
you know… this is one of the better vlogs you’ve produced. sound reasoning i mean.
September 25, 2008 at 6:20 pm
for all you romantics out there, may I put in a plug here for an amazing episode of Christian & Oli on You tube?

There is a long quote from a website “love burns” about the nature of love.
Peace out!

what?
September 25, 2008 at 10:39 pm
Relationship? That’s just a code word for SEX. Sex comes in a range of flavors and varieties. “Open relationship” just means sex with a number of different people.
Sex can be simply recreational, sort of like working out at the gym. It can be self indulgent, like eating ice cream. It can be like winning in a game, haha I got his ass. It can be edgy, like wow I did it in public and didn’t get caught. Or, best of all, it can be a form of non-verbal communication, God I love you so much.
Don’t play around with the word “relationship”. If you are talking about sex then simply say SEX. If you are talking about commitment then simply say COMMITMENT. I can still be commited to you even though I like f*****g with hot eye candy I find on the street. Clean up your vocabulary and it will clean up your thinking. RELATIONSHIP is a squishy word.
I have a relationship with you; it’s called dialogue. I don’t have sex with you and I don’t want any kind of commitment but I do have a kind of relationship. Clarify your thinking and your vocabulary DW.
September 25, 2008 at 11:10 pm
Nicely put!
September 26, 2008 at 11:03 am
Chris, you can’t be serious. You are asking DW to clarify his vocabulary? He used the word according to its cultural use, which should be fine. And when I say “relationship” it doesn’t mean sex. Sure, sex is a part of a relationship (I don’t know anyone that actually calls a platonic relationship just a “relationship), just as caring deeply for one another. A relationship may not always equal love, but it certainly doesn’t equal sex exclusively. I’m sorry if you don’t agree, but everyone (including myself) is entitled to their opinion.

Well said!
September 25, 2008 at 11:45 pm
I have enjoyed your talky blogs when I can hear them. You really need to work on the sound, I can hardly hear you even when I have the sound on my computer turned all the way up. It seems the talky blogs you do right in front of the computer are the ones I can hear best. Maybe you should get an extension for your microphone to make your videos more audible.
September 26, 2008 at 2:56 am
I could hear it just fine. Maybe it’s you.
September 27, 2008 at 2:16 am
Sound level is fine here in Seattle
September 26, 2008 at 12:05 am
i enjoyed it. and i can hear you perfectly. :/
love the ms. cleo part – 1.800.big.scam ! haha.
but, good advice again.
September 26, 2008 at 4:15 am
True. True. True. But the real question is, what’s up with the jacket?
September 27, 2008 at 2:17 am
Like he said
He didn’t know
The jacket is JUST BECAUSE
September 26, 2008 at 5:32 am
The fact remains that several studies of relationships, both heterosexual and homosexual show that a monogamous relationship has a 75% better chance of the couple being happier and together in the long term than those engaged in a open relationship.
The real question should not be “What kind of a relationship do I want” but rather “What kind of relationship will provide long term happiness”.
I.e Some might think; If I did what I wanted I would be on a permanent vacation, while eating fatty foods, having unlimited sex, and robbing banks for money. They might be happy in the short term but odds are not over the long term.
The answer to the question of what type of relationship will make most people happy is unequivocally a monotonous relationship. Sure an open relationship provides short term pleasure, but if true long term happiness is what you are seeking monogamy is the answer for you.
September 26, 2008 at 8:49 am
“The answer to the question of what type of relationship will make most people happy is unequivocally a MONOTONOUS relationship.”
That’s funny!
September 26, 2008 at 10:58 am
Jim, that’s fine and dandy, but you need to let others have their opinions. You may think that a monotonous relationship is the only kind of relationship to provide “true long term happiness” as you put it, but others will have a varying opinion on this. Please have your opinions, but don’t tell anyone any which way or thing is better or worse then any other way or thing. Thank you.

I don’t have anything against open relationships, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Being with just one person is wonderful and difficult at the same time, and requires trust, lots of love and fidelity.
I personally wouldn’t have something like an open relationship, but I personally believe that I could love more than one person at the same time. I mean, like having feelings for two people and maybe, hipotetically, having like a double relationship, or a “love triangle” threeway relationship thing. But that would mean that all three of us aprove i and that is faaaar from happening, of course.
Don’t judge me! I’m just being honest.
September 26, 2008 at 6:59 pm
I like the concept of an open relationship, in my case i feel it has the option of separating the needs of the heart from the needs of the body. You can love truly one person with all your heart, give this person all that is you, but your bodies are not exclusive to each other. Sometimes its impossible to be with the person you love for any reason and this way, what ever the distance, your heart and soul are always with your lover, even when you are nailing someone else.
For Gay couples there is the risk for STD´s as well as for straight couples. For the last one there´s an extra added risk, because there is the chance they might be conceiving a child, which then makes a whole other drama if the woman decides to get an abortion, or gives up the baby, or keeps the baby…and a chain of events so long its simply too long for writing down.
The monogamous relationship, has plenty of risks to, because it is set on being exclusive to only one, if on the course life you find out you are homosexual or simply you fall in love with a different person, that solid bond you could always count on, that pillar that was your marriage, turns too s**t, and winds up screwing one of the two.
In either case, its a matter of choice, which risk´s are you willing to take, and if things turned to the worst, are you willing to pay for the consequences.

I love you david for real you awesome cute and you honest and sweet.
September 27, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Great post again. I like the way you put it. Honest up front from the start is the best in a relationship. That works for me. If you hide something or your partner does,then there are always doubts in mind for both person. Is he cheating, whats he doing? all that questions.. putting down to someone is looking for the same thing as another one does,that’s good way to put it. I always believe there is always somebody for someone. I know confusing stuff, go figure.
September 27, 2008 at 8:50 pm
I always think that “open” seems to be more in line with a positive nature, and “closed” falls in line with a more negative nature, for me.
Open minded vs. Close minded
Open Jam Session vs. Closed Jam Session
Things like that are always moved towards being Open, and not so closed, and for me, it makes them so much more fun and inviting, exciting and worthwhile to experience new things. I definitely gravitate towards the open rather than the closed, for me…
Great post, and love the jacket!
Ciao – J

i think you’re not wrong about this but…
do you think we should be nacked outside in the winter (damn just to think about it i’m freezing).
so, cloths were made for keeping corporal heat (:p) however i liked being in shorties when i’m staying home.
October 15, 2008 at 2:35 pm
oups(dummy) a wrong answer, my answer was for the question “what if we were all nacked?”
February 10, 2009 at 11:05 pm
If anyone looking for the proper rules on having an open relationship, read “The Ethical Slut” I forget who it by, but go to any book store and they can order it for you.
It give you a great idea, on how to have or maintain an open relationship, so feelings don’t get hurt. Enjoy the read, I know I sure did:~)

hi everybody,,magic is real,just believed that some weeks ago i guess,and the funny thing is i learnt it the hard way..i had been married for four years with two kids and thought everything in my marriage was perfect and extraordinary,my husband was the most loving and my whole family was happy until everything changed..don’t know how or what happened but i guess i didn’t believe it was my fault.he started hitting me and my kids,cheating and we started having dept cos he was gambling quite much and he had lost his job..A friend introduced me to some counselors and therapist but it didn’t get well,it was getting worse so i decided to go the spiritual angle..After several attempts with different spell casters and magicians nothing happened.i met some people online who claimed to know someone who claimed to be able to help but it was all false,i lost a lot of money,was scammed several times and cheated on…i guess i was too desperate for a quick solution,but it all changed when i was introduced to a spell caster online,i thought he was going to be fake,maybe try to scam me again so i was prepared this time,i thought at least i could get him caught or something..but he wasn’t what it thought he was,he did some spell which i used playing along,but he was right,he was true..everything stated to turn around,my husband came home,he was changing and everything was going back to normal..and now after three weeks,everything is perfect and much more..my family is back,he has a new job,i do too..and we are happy as ever..i guess magic truly exist but in the right people with the right heart..magic is real and out there so is the person who saved my marriage,my family and i…
