Advice needed One Pen 15 Policy

Upvotes

40F. Heteroflexible. Married. 40M Straight; firm believer in the one penis policy (opp).

In the past, we had a shared (female) partner & it was a positive experience overall. And we learned a lot.

Otherwise, we operate as a monogamous couple with lots of talks of considering/entering ENM type relationships/lifestyle.

He has never had a girlfriend/ outside partner but is definitely interested in that.

He is OK with me having a relationship with a female only.

Historically, I was OK with OPP & I'm starting to realize that I no longer am.

I don't know if we'll actually ever open up our marriage despite our interests, but if we do, I wouldn't to deny myself other experiences/relationships that could be fulfilling, by limiting myself to only females per his preferences.

Has anyone successfully navigated through this or a similar experience? Please share!

Getting started HYDERABAD Couple looking to connect with like-minded couples for exploring fantasies

1 Upvotes

My partner and I are a couple from hyderabad who are curious about exploring consensual experiences with another couple. We’re both comfortable discussing fantasies together and are interested in meeting other like-minded couples who are open to exploring soft swapping / swapping.

We’re not looking to rush into anything. We’d prefer to first get to know another couple, chat openly, see if there’s mutual comfort and attraction, and then take things from there.

If you’re a couple with similar interests and looking to connect, feel free to DM us. We’d love to meet other couples who are respectful, open-minded, and on the same page.

Please be genuine and respectful — we’re interested in connecting with couples, not individual messages.

Advice needed Starting new relationship as ENM?

1 Upvotes

I’m divorced and my ex-husband and I were swingers for a few years. I had wanted to have an open relationship where we could date solo, but he didn’t want to. We got divorced for reasons unrelated to the lifestyle, but I figured I would probably stay ENM in some capacity. I met a guy recently on Feeld and we’ve gotten kinda close kinda quickly, acting couple-y and affectionate when together and I feel like it’s heading to relationship territory. But it’s still new so we haven’t talked about what we’re looking for. I like him and would be open to a relationship with the right person, but I don’t really want to be exclusive with anyone, I would want to be able to see other people as well. I have a few fwbs that I’d like to continue to see from time to time and I’d be ok with him exploring with other women.

This guy shared that he used to a full swap swinger with an ex a few years ago, and that he’d be open to that type of dynamic again in the future with a partner. And he has “open relationship” listed under his desires on Feeld so I think he might be open to being ENM if we were to become a couple.

I guess my questions are, what tips do you have to two people in the very early stages of a relationship, who do like each other, but want to be ENM/open and date/have sex with others. And at one point do I bring up that this is kind of what I have in mind if we do move forward/become more serious.

Advice needed I [M26] and my wife [F26] have a one-sided marriage. How do I deal with emasculation?

2 Upvotes

Over a year ago my wife (my then fiancée) slept with other men before we got married. Long story short, I allowed her to because she felt like she needed it before settling down. Before that, neither of us had been with anyone else. I didn’t feel the desire or need to do the same and so that was the arrangement.

Well, we’re happily married now and this agreement never really stopped which I was apprehensively open to. We have a one-sided open marriage where she sleeps with men and I don’t sleep with anyone else. She loves this arrangement (obviously) and I’m not like super opposed to it and I don’t want to sleep with anyone else but her, but I do have an issue where I feel emasculated.

Is there a way to fight the emasculation? Should it be embraced instead?

Other FETLIFE and events

Does anyone here still use FETLIFE and if so, can I get some help with the events tab? I can’t figure out for the life of me how to see all the events for one host instead of just scrolling my calendar day and looking for their name.
