PSA about open relationships (from Plaguebug)
10 years ago
General
Original by
plaguebug but I got it from
felisrandomis , with slight edits for my own perspective.Open relationships come in many shapes and sizes.
Open relationships present under many labels.
I'm panromantic and (gray)asexual, but am polyamorous.
This means, in a form, my relationship has the potential to be open.
What this doesn't mean:
- That I want to/will fuck anyone/everyone/you. I'm actually pretty picky.
- That I'm sexually unsatisfied in my current relationship. You obviously haven't met the Cyborg.
- That I will have murrypurry roleplay with you. I'm very picky as well on my RP partners, nor do I see it as anything farther then text on a page.
- That I'm easy. See my first point.
- That I'm unfaithful. I won't do anything without my datemates' approval.
- That my relationship will fail. Don't assume that because an open relationship failed for you/your friend/that person on that episode of that show you like doesn't mean it will for me.
- That I fuck ALL the time. See again, asexual. I am aware that some aces can and do have and enjoy sex; I am one of them. However, it is very unlikely I will have sex with someone outside of my current relationships.
- That I care about your opinion. Nope!
- That my family's needs come second. I put my family before all else. Everything outside my relationship with my datemates and the care of my pets, everything else is secondary at best. I won't drop my responsibilities to fuck you.
- That I JUST want to bone. I'm not sexually attracted to most people. I'm more interested in emotional/mental connections than sexual ones.
Don't make assumptions about me (or anyone) based on how YOU think relationships work.
Please don't send me "let's fuck/date" notes out of the blue either. They will be deleted, and you will be blocked.
