It depends, would the single partner be like Eddie Murphy getting me into all sorts of trouble or more like Robert De Niro keeping his cool?

its unrealistic to think that one person can be everything you want in your life. I'm sure it happens once in a while, but not very often.

I could be happy with one man, if I was allowed to have a woman on the side.

Depends on what you are talking about.

But, you could easily argue a very significant difference between the two acts. Texting/sexting involves actions with another person, masturbation to images/thoughts is a solo act (or at least one-way, if you want to get really technical).

I can agree with that last statement, especially if it is someone that you've had a relationship with in the past.

One is my preference, but failing that multiple with one at a time.

It's more important to be happy and enjoying life than staying on a sinking ship if we started hating each other or something, but I wouldn't switch just for variety.

my only qualm with this is that you have been married before, and all of your past experiences have made you the person you are today, and the same with him. Had you not been with other people, you may not even be compatible today.

it would completely depend on the relationship i was in at the time and what my partner wanted. i doubt i'd mind if my partner wanted to sleep around so long as she never brought back an std or a baby. oh and never blew me off for sex with someone else. that would just be rude. not_talking

right now i'm quite happy with my one because she's also my bff. love

It would depend on if I was comfortable with that at the time, generally speaking I would be ok with it as long as they were honest about it and asked me if I minded before anything happened with them individually.

It does seem like two different questions.

Would you prefer to date and stay with only one person your entire life?

Once in a serious relationship, would you prefer that it be an open relationship with more than one partner optional or a completely monogamous one?

I've told my wife she's allowed to have additional female relationships.

All I'd ask is that I be able to watch or that they film it for me. I find it hot.

She isn't that type though.
