3 "Counter-Intuitive" Secrets to Make an Open Relationship Work

What does an open relationship mean and how can it be successful?

Jamie Thompson, founder of Relationship Flow State, gives advice on how to have a successful open relationship.

Don't make the mistake of moving too quickly on some fantasy and doing serious damage to a relationship you really care about.

With these 3 counter-intuitive tips, you’ll learn the best secrets to have exciting experiences with your partner with safety and trust as a foundation.

Common misconception - People enter an open relationship because they think it’s the only other option when they want to explore something new.

Fully open relationships require careful processing and time. Think of all the emotions there are to deal with!

2:04 First Tip
If you want more freedom, lean in and provide more security.

Neuroscience says if trust is present, oxytocin chemical is released that provides the feeling of safety in relationships. Often called the “cuddle hormone”. If you want more freedom provide a safe nest of oxytocin.

3:42 Second Tip
Move very slowly when involving anything new.

The tendency is to jump right in and move quickly. Moving slowly gives more success. Each step can be erotic and breed new passion. Even the thought of wanting to pursue an open relationship can cause more passion and excitement.

Ask questions like: Do we want to see other people separately on the side or bring in a 3rd person? How does this idea feel? What concerns do we have?

Try going out together to decide as a couple who is sexy before ever actually trying anything.

6:46 Third Tip
Whoever is more cautious about opening or exploring is the driver.

If you’re the one who wants it more, your job is to take a backseat and provide safety and reassurance. Helps you enjoy delayed gratification.

The foundation of the relationship must be secure first and foremost for an open relationship to work. Don’t have an open relationship as a way to fix intimacy issues.
