I get the backlash around open relationships. I think they are valid, but that doesn’t mean that every open relationship that drops itself in my pathway – much like Vegans or Ivy League graduates – is necessarily valid. In short, I think there’s a lot of broken security relationships that are open until one of them finds their next “The One” and moves on.
That said, that’s not what bothers me, what bothers me is the sense of entitlement these open relationships bring into gay culture…and what behaviors that presence breeds. Plus, it distracts single guys from achieving their own relationship goals by distracting them with lesser, only momentarily available options.

In all relationships, gay, straight, open, closed, whatever, their are often criticisms and judgments from peers within the same community. Perhaps this is a part of “human nature.” Xenophobia is a characteristic of our society so that those with alternative inclinations are frequently judged in a negative perspective. This is the reality of life. Nice posting! 🙂 Naked hugs!

Perhaps the communication is poor and there is a sense of distrust because of what happened during childhood.Black children are more likely to experience broken homes due to one of the parents leaving while they are young. “Open relationships” remind them – at least subconsciously – of someone who cheated in their parents relationship. PTSD does not disappear simply because one ages. And childhood trauma is rife with PTSD episodes for the disenfranchised.
