here is the back story
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. |

o.o' Well, I'll try not to take that personally since it wasn't actually pointed at 'me'..But in defense of those of us who dont see anything wrong with it, as long as everyone that are involved agree and understand to the situation..Then 'that' is personal choice. You can get pregnant just as easily in 'any' one night stand, so..That's all this would be, no? o.O
It's not about beong 'devoted'. It's about fun. |

Wow..o.o'..Thank you.  I didnt mean 'marraige' wasnt about being devoted. I meant the open part wasn't. I'm totally devoted to my fiance..o.O...But we dont look at 'sex' as being a question of that. More because we would be perfectly happy if we 'didnt' do it, as much as if we did. And it still is discussed with the other to a large extent before 'ever' considering it. The main difference between those who see this as wrong, and those who see it as nothing..is just a question of how you look at sex. Do you look at sex as a way of enjoyment..or something that should be between two people and those two 'only'. Meaning..Something sacrid. When I think of it in the way of having it with my guy..I think of it as the second, but to do it with someoen else..is just a good time.. And... QUOTE with that said i still think its unfair to judge a couple based on what they decide to do in their marriage. what works for one couple may not work for another. i know i would never have an open marriage because for me marriage in a special bond between two people but thats my opinion and dont expect everyone to agree with that I agree with you. It's all a question of personal choice. |
