RE: Getting Girlfriends for My Husband--Why I Encourage Him to Sleep With Other Women
Oh, heck no. He'd have a fit. I established early on that I was okay with him sleeping with other women, and he made sure to tell me he didn't feel the same way about me sleeping with other men....unless he got to watch. We've never actually done that. I suspect he wouldn't enjoy it as much as he thinks, and it would just lead to trouble, knowing him as I do. The offer is there, but I can't help but think it's a trick. :)
That double standard feels okay to you?
I didn't really mind in the beginning, because I was so madly in love with him, I didn't want to have sex with other men. Now, it might be nice for a change. But, I also know no sex is ever as good in real life as the sex you imagine, and I have an EXTREMELY vivid imagination. ;) So, I don't feel like I'm particularly missing anything, except maybe my freedom. I'm pretty disillusioned with marriage in general these days, but that's a whole other story.
I'm poly myself and don't like the idea of a double standard. I hope you can find a way to have balance in your relationship around non-monogamy.
