Are friend off limit on open relationships?

[Ca****]

And of course depends on your person's limits, whatever they may be

[Es****]

Depends on the friends, I have had friends that we found out were open to the lifestyle and it worked well. But it's never a good idea to *** it.

Our rules are no ex's but that all parties must be ok with it

Friends and family members are off-limits on both sides. Find a legit stranger and get to know them.

[J1****]

Simple. If you don't care about the friend and any relationships that stem from them. Go right ahead. If you do, best not to get involved and avoid drama

[Ma****]

Not off limits, go for it👊

We like to become friendly with someone before hooking up. I can’t disconnect my brain from the sex if I don’t feel a friendly vibe first.

Honestly at the end of the day it really just comes down to making agreements you both can stand behind. That usually means just talking about all the ideas. Hopefully you both align on most of them. Chances are high there's a few you won't. And then you decide what to do with that misalignment. Conversation, communication, and letting go of expectation, while also remaining ground in your real needs and truth.

What a f**king amazing statement and total clarity. That's awesome

It’s all about the friendship and the dynamics. But honestly if one of the couple doesn’t feel comfortable with the idea of a friend being included, yall should just drop it and find someone who isn’t emotionally tied into one of ur lives.

Can be awkward. My best friends wife wants to have sex with me and he said he’s fine with it but I can tell he’s not happy with it. I’d love to have her though

[SK****]

I have somewhat of the same thing going on

Friends are off limits

[Ju****]

My wife's friends are off limits, mine are fair game. Our exes are also off limits, and anyone that is close to the family (ex; *** in laws friends) is also off limits.

My husband is "allowed" with one friend, simply because he has anxiety and we're gonna start small. MY best friend (male) and I are TOO close for all that. It IS like I have two husbands though, I just can't sleep with one of them! Any other friend, yes

[Deleted Member]

Friends are off limits period

[ki****]

Quite the opposite, I wouldn't even consider playing with someone who *isn't* a friend - both my partner and I pretty much exclusively scene with friends/people we know quite well.

[br****]

Friends before open.. probably off limits, friends made while open as long as agreed and communicated, in on the play coach

[ca****]

Friends are friends. I don't consider ppl I've slept with to be "friends". It's a whole different game

[Bi****]

I think it is usually a bad idea, I have known many people that acted in the heat of the moment and thought it was a great idea until it was over and usually it always ended badly

Dating friends of your partner is off limits but that was something we talked about. Dating your friend that does not interact with your partner is not. Important to get on the same page.

[bl****]

I don't think dating friends is off limits. U just graduate to the next "ship" level. Friendship to relationship. And if y'all break up, u just go back to friendship.

Mind - ahem

there is one thing certainly worse than someone screwing your friends.... if they're screwing your enemies
