The concept of love has changed a lot over the years, and with it relationships: the well-known ‘romantic love’ and monogamous have begun to become obsolete for many couples and there are new models taking more and more force. New options are becoming more and more visible that allow you to live love in a more free and varied way. But, when a person wants to open his mind and with it his relationship, many questions arise: How to do it? How to tell the couple? How to manage possible jealousy and other conflicts that arise?
In open relationships, fidelity rests on a contract based on a series of internal rules that should be respected at all times. There are relationships that, after many years together, decide to open it in search of new experiences and pleasures to discover. In most cases, for a third person to enter the relationship, the protagonists of the same must feel fully confident with each other. Establishing, then, the concept of fidelity around the well-being of the couple before a third person enters the sexual act. And taking into account at all times the difference between sex and love.
There are many types of open relationships. In many of them, the enjoyment is given separately, being possible to carry out the sexual act with a third person without the other member of the couple being present. Faced with this situation, dealing with the problem of jealousy can become especially complex. To do this, a journey through experimentation begins in which the two people who make up the relationship are free to establish their own rules and redefine them at any time.
Communication is essential, since the ultimate objective is to guarantee the enjoyment of the couple, without putting their stability in check.
When fidelity is joint enjoyment: swingers couples
In addition to open relationships, swinging is another of the disciplines that attracts the most attention. Through the premise that everything is agreed or experienced together, couples unleash their imaginations in the sexual plenary session. Through their participation in clubs and in specialized social networks such as JOYclub, couples who so wish can become part of the community through a series of experiences in which only the sexual plane intervenes, leaving the feelings reserved for the nucleus of the couple.

With the passage of time, and despite its constant stigmatization from the traditional monogamous community, more and more couples end up internalizing this type of practice in their traditional lifestyle.
For these couples, conversations around sex are a critical part of discipline. Especially when jealousy comes into play. As soon as these appear, it is advisable to pause and redefine the rules described above. Always with the objective that both parties are comfortable in the situation that is being lived. Ultimately, it’s all about taking the first step, breaking many of our mental barriers and taboos and, above all, basing our polyamorous relationship on trust, mutual respect, and communication.
