You\u2019re excited about the possibilities, and also a little bit nervous because it\u2019s all new to you, and you have no idea what you\u2019re doing. Relax. The good news is that it\u2019s relatively easy to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/sex-love\/advice\/a6121\/open-relationship-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\">make an open relationship work<\/a>. Once you know the ropes, it will be easy to maintain a relationship that is fun, spontaneous, and free of drama. While all of this may seem foreign to you right now, most of it is just common sense, and before long it will feel like second nature. Here\u2019s how to ensure that your open relationship is a good experience.<\/p>\n<h3>Set Expectations at the Beginning<\/h3>\n<p>The very beginning of your open relationship sets the stage for the way the whole thing will go. This is why it\u2019s so important to put in the work going into it. <a href=\"http:\/\/allwomenstalk.com\/8-essential-open-relationship-rules-to-know\" target=\"_blank\">Open relationships mean different things to different people<\/a>, so it\u2019s really important that you talk frankly about exactly what it is you want. Make sure you\u2019re both on the same page so there aren\u2019t any misunderstandings. If to you an open relationship means you just meet up for sex on a regular basis, but the rest of your lives are totally separate, say so! If the woman thinks that an open relationship means that you\u2019re both free to have sex with other people, but otherwise you\u2019ll be a couple in every sense of the word, that\u2019s a definite mismatch, and there are going to be hurt feelings and disappointment down the road. Maybe you don\u2019t want to hear about the other guys she\u2019s sleeping with, but she\u2019d be totally turned on if you tell you about the women you\u2019re having sex with. These things need to be talked about. Do it now and avoid problems later.<\/p>\n<h3>Treat Her with Respect<\/h3>\n<p>Just because she\u2019s down with open sexuality doesn\u2019t mean she wants you to treat her like a whore. In other words, just don\u2019t be a jerk. Even if the only time you ever see each other is to get busy in the bedroom, decency is in order. If you\u2019re <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oprah.com\/spirit\/Are-You-a-Rude-Person-Quiz\" target=\"_blank\">rude and demeaning<\/a>, chances are high that she\u2019s not going to come back for more. There are a lot of guys out there looking for open relationships, and women know that. If you\u2019re not treating them decently, they\u2019ll bounce out and find sex buddies who will. This should be common sense, but unfortunately, there are a lot of dudes who didn\u2019t get the memo and think <a href=\"https:\/\/answers.yahoo.com\/question\/index?qid=20080629172032AAqNxyw\" target=\"_blank\">an open relationship means that she\u2019s just your sex toy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Take Her Pleasure Seriously<\/h3>\n<p>Remember that an open relationship is a two-way street. Yes, you want to get yours, and that\u2019s cool. Just make sure she\u2019s getting hers, too. The more pleasure you bring to her, the more effort she\u2019s going to put into pleasuring you. Some of the best sex I\u2019ve ever had has been the result of spending a lot of time perfecting my skills and then using them to make sure that the woman I was with had multiple orgasms before I even let her touch me. In every single case, they have all reciprocated in some pretty mind blowing ways. Keep her on her toes. Try new positions. Work on increasing your stamina. Act out fantasies with her. Surprise her by doing something totally unexpected. This is the kind of thing that makes women lose their inhibitions and get wild in the bedroom. So pleasure her to the best of your ability and watch her inner freak emerge.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p17jopQJ9g8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/center><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Keep It Fun and Light<\/h3>\n<p>The great thing about open relationships is that they tend to be a lot more fun. If a woman wants an open relationship, it\u2019s a safe bet that she wants your time together to be light and easy. She\u2019s probably not going to stick around if you\u2019re sullen, irritable, or a total stick in the mud. And who could blame her? Would you want an open relationship with a woman like that? Hell no, you wouldn\u2019t. Y<a href=\"http:\/\/www.redbookmag.com\/love-sex\/advice\/best-sex-article-tips\" target=\"_blank\">ou want great sex<\/a>, maybe some shared laughs, and to leave in a better mood than when you walked through the door. She wants the same thing. Don\u2019t text her griping about your awful day. Text her something silly and sexy. If it\u2019s not going to either turn her on or make her laugh, think twice about why you\u2019re sending it. The more fun you have together, the longer you\u2019ll both want to keep it going.<\/p>\n<h3>Keep the Lines of Communication Open<\/h3>\n<p>Setting expectations at the beginning is a great start, but it\u2019s just the start. Remember to keep checking in throughout your open relationship. Tell her what\u2019s working for you and if there\u2019s anything that\u2019s not working. Let her know that you appreciate your time together. Ask her if there\u2019s anything that could be better for her. She\u2019ll be happy that you initiated the conversation, and you\u2019ll gain valuable insights that can keep your open relationship in tip-top shape.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"bloglnk\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adulthookup.com\/dating\/allaboutlove2\/88822\/Sexbuddyguide-blog-makingopenrelationshipwork-AH\" target=\"_blank\">:: Special Offer For Our Readers: Free Membership On Adult Hookup ::<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re venturing into the territory of open relationships.
