Darioni<p>Reflecting on the challenges of open relationships, I notice they often boil down to two emotions: jealousy and possessiveness.</p><p>Jealousy prevents us from finding joy in others' experiences and is, at its core, an inability to value another person. It often stems from our own feelings of inadequacy.</p><p>Possessiveness is a feeling we understand with material things - but why would we want to possess another person? Isn't that concept inherently outdated?</p><p>Both emotions are human, but freeing ourselves from them can open the door to a genuinely appreciative relationship.</p><p><a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/NonMonogamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonMonogamy</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/Poly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poly</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/Polyamory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polyamory</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/Polyamorous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polyamorous</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/Openrelationships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Openrelationships</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/OpenRelationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenRelationship</span></a></p>

Prism & Pen<p>In the world of love and relationships, there’s no one-size-fits-all guidebook. It’s a complex realm where emotions, desires, and expectations often intertwine. My journey to acceptance in an open relationship has been a thrilling rollercoaster ride, filled with twists, turns, and unexpected discoveries. <br><a href="https://medium.com/prismnpen/navigating-love-uncharted-waters-acceptance-open-gay-relationship-afc7f4e75059" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">medium.com/prismnpen/navigatin</span><span class="invisible">g-love-uncharted-waters-acceptance-open-gay-relationship-afc7f4e75059</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://stranger.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/Relationships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Relationships</span></a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/Love" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Love</span></a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/Gay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gay</span></a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/OpenRelationships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenRelationships</span></a></p>
Jem<p>Apparently it's international polyamory day (23rd November). Not sure if it's an actual *thing* but just in case, hope all my polyam buddies are having a great day 🥳 </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Polyamory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polyamory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PolyamoryDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PolyamoryDay</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenRelationships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenRelationships</span></a></p>
Prism & Pen<p>I turned on the shower. My body radiated heat, my pulse was fast, and I smelled of musk.<br>“If he asks, I’ll tell him I just got back from an early workout at the gym,” I mumbled to myself. <br><a href="https://medium.com/prismnpen/tides-of-temptation-de8da2d9d0d0?sk=cfcbe06f86430a295a7cbe67395a7b3e" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">medium.com/prismnpen/tides-of-</span><span class="invisible">temptation-de8da2d9d0d0?sk=cfcbe06f86430a295a7cbe67395a7b3e</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://stranger.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/Fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fiction</span></a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/OpenRelationships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenRelationships</span></a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/Erotica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Erotica</span></a></p>
Prism & Pen<p>I’m not the type of person who would do well in an open relationship. My self-worth may not be as low as it used to be, but insecurities still exist. In an open relationship, I would compare myself to the “other guy(s)” in the relationship and would feel inadequate. <br><a href="https://medium.com/prismnpen/do-you-want-an-open-relationship-my-take-as-a-single-gay-man-1790066b1e23?sk=e2b258a88d90002d22ec75da2dbd9101" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">medium.com/prismnpen/do-you-wa</span><span class="invisible">nt-an-open-relationship-my-take-as-a-single-gay-man-1790066b1e23?sk=e2b258a88d90002d22ec75da2dbd9101</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://stranger.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/Gay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gay</span></a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/OpenRelationships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenRelationships</span></a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/Satire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Satire</span></a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/Love" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Love</span></a></p>
