Are there a lot of women into sharing their partners with others?

Answer 1

It appears that women all around the country actively participate in sharing their partners. If you are wondering about the sheer numbers you may find there aren't many studies done to determine the volume of participation although some would suggest that the numbers in the US are in the hundreds of thousands or maybe even several million.

Remember that there is wide range of activities that people can partake of that include both partners plus someone else (or several someone elses). The most common phenomenon we hear about is swinging which may center more on the physical aspect of involving others in a sexual relationship.

It is not unheard of for a couple in a healthy relationship to enjoy simple flirting with others. If taken to another level elements of voyeurism can be added either discreetly or overtly. Imagine a couple making out at a party and then sharing the same space with another couple that is doing the same. Problem is not everyone has the same access to the party where people are making out.

Once the seed has been planted about being frisky around others a certain degree of understanding between the two partners is necessary to explore the idea more fully. You may find that it can progress to actively playing out a role in a fantasy agreed to by you and your plus two (or more). Full swap couples actually just go right ahead and have sex with others for enjoyment.

On the other side of the spectrum you will find polyamorous couples. These are people who share more than just the physical side of their relationship with others.

When talking about polyamory you will find people building relationships with more than one person that may extend to a more emotional level. Just as you find men or women committing themselves to one person, whatever gender combination it may be, those attracted to polyamorous relationships do the same except with more than one person, and they do it openly.

I've never met anyone in a polyamorous relationship so I should probably just leave it at that. With human belief systems and emotional capacities being as complex as they are I suspect there are many right answers for those with a curious inclination. The one thing I do know is that involving yourself with someone outside of a committed relationship without your partner's knowledge may have some satisfying or exhilarating components to it usually just spells trouble in the end.
