Thank you folks for being open and sharing your experiences in this forum. I am learning a lot from this. As you mentioned, @westernsyd, some people manage this differently, but how does a couple guarantee that no jealousy would exist in the relationship? Wouldn't each individual have to be honest on their capacity or propensity to be jealous, or is this setup more of a ground rule? It may sound stupid, but should the partner be expected to stop engaging with another man if the other partner expressed his jealousy, even if such ground rule was previously established? I guess it would be to your first point that both should default to each other, although it sounds like to @Charlie's account, allowing someone to follow through on exploring that relationship could work as well assuming that the relationship base is secure enough to survive those circumstances.

@Coolwave35, apologies if the follow-up is intrusive and certainly do not intend this to be a public therapy session. However, was curious to know why one stays in a marriage if you think you're in a bad one. Is it the convenience of staying or inconvenience of not? Is it because you are able to self-provision the "missing stuff" with your current setup? Is it something that is openly discussed with the husband to figure out and solve for the root cause?

I am imagining what this looks like but got lost on the last bolded part. Is there a clip you can share for reference?

How can I get this via Postmates or Doordash? Can I get a M4M forum discount?

Apologies in advance to those that may be offended by this thread. Being new to this journey, I am fascinated by the prospect of getting into a relationship, especially within a gay relationship. My only experience being in a relationship was when I was 12 - I courted my then girlfriend because that is what was considered the expected norm in a predominantly Roman Catholic country where I was raised back then. My perspective on relationships has been limited to that and to the experiences of my close heterosexual friends. I understand that experiences will be different, but certainly welcome all perspectives on the following questions: Is there a fundamental difference between a gay and heterosexual relationship? I would think not, but curious if some think there is. Are open relationships more acceptable among gay men, or is this a false presumption? What are the drivers for having an open relationship? Is it grounded on a belief that humans are not meant to be monogamous? Is it because one wants to compartmentalize certain aspects - like romance and companionship with the boyfriend and hot sex with a friend or stranger? Is it because everything one wants in a person is there but sexual compatibility (e.g., both bottoms)? Are there other reasons? [*]Is monogamous gay relationship an oxymoron, or can monogamous gay relationship exist? [*]Throupling...how does that work if it can work? How does one balance attention to two other men in that relationship? [*]Is building a family (i.e., having kids) more common or is the preference to grow old together? Thank you in advance for any experiences or insights you are willing to share.

How do we verify this?

Woah, @Charlie! Props for being able to do it!

Low-key wishing there's actual a discussion on a successful bathtub / bathroom design. If there is a better way not to hop in and out of the tub while taking the shower shot, and how that could be configured in a shower or bathroom / shower, that would be fantastic! But this gallery thread is amazing as well.

There are a couple ways to show that contact was made: email feature on RM RM messenger evidence that you clicked the "Call Me" button (your profile should not be set to invisible if you do this)

I guess I'll have to click like on this after April next year.
