Does this seem strange to you in a relationship?

If both partners enjoy the thought of each other sleeping with someone else?

Whatever floats your boat

I find that kind of kinky in a good way and if you both like the idea why not! Wink

I dont think its strange, this is why people swing, i guess. Its not for me as i'm possesive but i can understand it in others.

Pakdooik · 23/08/2011 17:18

the "thought" or the actuality?

lachesis · 23/08/2011 17:19

No. If they're both on ths same page about it, it's entirely their own business.

ladycurious · 23/08/2011 17:29

Just the thought of it, not actually doing it, I couldn't handle that.

So you can handle the thought of it, but not the act itself?

Bohica · 23/08/2011 17:42

Not for me but swinging is quite popular.

I'd say the thought of it would be as awfull as it actually happening.

AnyFucker · 23/08/2011 17:43

why do you ask ?

HairyGrotter · 23/08/2011 18:01

There will never be a relationship that would not be broken by me seizing the opportunity to sleep with Johnny Depp...I don't care how much I love my partner, Johnny Depp is my ultimate.

So I guess it's fine to have a 'want' list but to act on it or to have names on it that you are most likely to meet/bump into is a little close to the cuff for me

Well to answer the OP, it's "strange" in a purely statistical sense - in that most people don't enjoy the thought of that.

But I can't see anything wrong with it - either thinking or doing. If it's what makes both partners happy, why not. They're lucky to feel the same way about it.

HannahHack · 23/08/2011 23:08

umm, it's nto very MN. But couldn't you just watch some couples porn? with a bit of swinging Wink

MrsHicks · 24/08/2011 19:12

Strange how? It's a widespread and common turn-on for men and women. Being turned on by the thought doesn't mean people do it or want to do it necessarily.

didyouseewhatshedid · 24/08/2011 19:39

Perhaps the partner of the OP is wanting some swinging action?
