An agreement between two people which allows for sexual exploration for both parties, yet maintaining the mutual love commitment to each other. This is one alternative to a divorce when two people become sexually incompatable, or social restrictions dictate splitting up is out of the question. This also may keep a love relationship healthy as neither person will become saturated with the essence of the other and mutual appreciation can continue in harmony.

The only drawbacks to an open relationship are the possibilities of jealousy, STDs, and other people finding it quite odd (They are jealous and cant comprehend the possibility)
