Hello peeps, and welcome to this Sunday’s edition of the Elcrema Sunday Love Special.<\/p>\n

An open relationship is a modern type of relationship or marriage; it’s one in which both partners agree that any of them can have sexual relations with other people.<\/p>\n

Do you think that open relationships are healthy?<\/p>\n

Drama and Shawn would share their opinions.<\/p>\n

Harmless and easy as they may appear, open relationships tend to be very tough for at least, one of both parties to handle. In the beginning, it may be easy and things may appear smooth, but as time passes, one person is certain to gradually catch (develop) feelings for the other, and when that happens, jealousy and unhappiness also start to creep in, and of course, you and I know that those things are not exactly healthy for any sort of relationship to thrive. I mean, we’re talking about human beings who have emotions — no matter how much you try to mask it, it’ll surely show.<\/p>\n

This topic brings to mind what happened between pop star, Robin Thicke and his Ex- wife, Paula Patton. They had an open marriage, and were only able to handle it until a point. How did they get separated? Paula caught him with some other women. Lol. How ironical, right? So, for me, it is never a great idea to have an open relationship. Relationships are way too complicated for one to allow something like that. If you’re going to get in it, do it fully, otherwise, do not.<\/p>\n

Open relationships are now getting common, and is perceived as modern. Many people feel comfortable with open relationships so that they can explore their sexual lives without fear or having to pretend, but are such relationships ideal?<\/p>\n

If we must call a spade, a spade, an open relationship or marriage isn’t ideal; it’s just an excuse to have sex without feeling guilty, and it’s totally different from what a real relationship should look like.<\/p>\n

First, if you aren’t too careful, there is a risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease or infection with open relationships. Open relationships create a large network of people having sex, and one mistake can make an infection go almost round the network. So, for your sexual health, open relationships put you at risk of contracting STDs.<\/p>\n

Secondly, a true relationship borders on commitment, togetherness and faithfulness — and these three things don’t really combine well with open relationships. Many open relationship partners aim to have the best of both worlds — in the sense that they seek a relationship and also seek sexual freedom, and that really goes against commitment and faithfulness. You can’t truly love something or someone and share it with everyone without caring.<\/p>\n

A relationship isn’t just about sex, but open relationships seem to channel its energy on sex. What happened to love? What happened to having a future? What happened to sticking to each other? And since when did sex become so common and cheap?<\/p>\n

The truth is that sex has lost its value in modern times, sex is no longer sacred and open relationships are just an excuse for polyamorous people to vent their sexual energy.<\/p>\n

Do you support open relationships? What are the supposed benefits or dangers of being in such a relationship or marriage?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
