Will Smith and Wife Have 'Open' Marriage

United Press International
Actor Will Smith says he and his wife have an agreement that they can
have sex with others provided they inform each other first.
Smith, 36, has been married to entertainer Jada Pinkett Smith for seven
years.
"Our perspective is, you don't avoid what's natural," Smith told
Britain's Daily Mail. "You're going to be attracted to people. In our
marriage vows, we didn't say forsaking all others. The vow that we made
was that you will never hear that I did something after the fact."
"If it came down to it, then one can say to the other, 'Look, I need to
have sex with somebody. I'm not going to if you don't approve of it --
but please approve of it.'"
Smith said he was forced to admit he had sexual feelings for other
women when working on his film 'Hitch,' in which he stars with Eva
Mendes, whom he described as freakin' gorgeous.
Despite that attraction, Smith says his second marriage is still solid.


my question is do you support or oppose open marriage??

me personally i dont care if other people do but i think it takes away from the whole point of being married.

i couldnt agree with you more. if i was married, i would NEVER want my husband to have sex with other women, if he wanted to do that, why get married in the first place? marriage is between two people, not 10, 20, etc

I'm not the jealous type, but I'm sure I'd be a bit on the jealous side if I cook my wife dinner, we sit down at the table, discuss our day and she tells me, "Oh, remember that one guy who stole your job? (YEA) I had sex with him."

lol.....but you know what i find is interesting about this subject that it is fairly common among married couples according to my research. i have a friend who is married and her and her hubby have threesomes are the time. i find the that rather disturbing seeing that they are married but they have a very close knit relationship...also whenever i am in a chat room (mostly yahoo's chat rooms) i see things all the time with couples trying to find a person online to have sex with them..........

well havent you heard of those parties where people hook up with random strangers? i saw a segment of that on mtv where these two couples were into those sex parties, and i just sat there wondering how the hell people can do that, and still have a strong marriage. marriage is about TWO PEOPLE, not about how many strangers you can hook up with in one night.
