When Is More Than One Partner Right?

Even though monogamy is the ideal way to be involved in an intimate relationship, the truth of the 21st century is that couples are experimenting with various types of intimacy. The first step to a polygamous relationship is a high level of understanding of expectations while in the relationship. All parties involved have to be on board with how they have agreed to interact. Knowing the benefits of polygamous relationships could be a selling point to the individuals involved.

Here’s why it may be worthwhile to be in a poly relationship…

#1 wide eye

It is very rare that couples do not lose intimacy. When having relationships with more than one partner, there is an understanding that exploration keeps the zing alive. Some feel it is better to have an agreement of satisfying wide eyes of lust than to totally lose the whole relationship.

#2 stress relief

Studies show that sex is a stress relief. But polygamous relationships offer stress relief in knowing that the partner is not being deceptive in indulging in relationships. A strong level of communication about what the rules of exploration are decreases worrying about the pressures of cheating.

#3 security

A polygamous relationship gives security of the relationship and inner peace. If the couple agrees to have outside relationships, it seals the insecurity of losing the relationship or interest of the mate. A comfort in multiple partners also builds inner strength because if you feel deficient in any areas of intimacy or self-confidence the third partner can be the self-esteem boost you need.
