For the fun of it

Considering an open relationship

An open relationship is a relationship in which the participants are free to have emotional, spiritual and/or physical relationships with other partners. If the couple making this agreement are married, it is an open marriage. Open relationships are often confused for partnered non-monogamy in which only multiple sexual relationships are arranged with other partners.

A casual relationship is a physical and emotional relationship between two people who may have a sexual relationship or a near-sexual relationship without necessarily demanding or expecting a more formal romantic relationship as a goal. ... Related terms are friends with benefits...

it is not a wonder while many have turn to an open relationship.
the concept of being involved in a relationship yet not being anchored responsibilities-wise is an enticing concept for many.

we just wanna have fun and not force each other to commit yeah? its just a part-time effort on each party. or no effort at all. just call each other out when you would like a date. accompany-sake.
sex or no, fun's the calling.
in fact sex isn't even an important ingredient. its for the company, for the relationship experience, for the fun..

the casualness and deconstruction of traditional belief of what a relationship - commitment may be appalling to some. but face it, its very functional and feasible for this age of time.

Popular sex educator Tristan Taormino is also an advocate of open relationships.

not ruling out long-time commitment, commit only if you want to. we want democracy, we want freedom. this is it. it maybe miscontrued. or even less morally sound. it is even less congruent with "traditional society's standards". but..

it is a game. Just as J-Drama fans would have remembered from Takuya Kimura in Pride, its really just a game. Why not?
"its just a game"
