A sex therapist says she practices extramarital sex and allows her husband to do so
Marriages may be made in heaven, but only we can make them happy or unhappy. And, as the following example shows, all means are good in this matter. Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey used to be in a monogamous marriage until she discovered that intimate relationships on the side made it harmonious. This was reported by SSPDaily.
Now, according to the website WSTale. com, the 60-year-old American lives in Scotland with her 66-year-old husband. They have been together for over 14 years and married for just under nine. Laurie frankly described how she changed her relationship style when she realized that she was bisexual and did not want to "give up a significant part of my sexuality" by being committed to only one person.
Laurie Beth and her husband consider themselves polyamorous - people who are in several romantic relationships at the same time.
Talking about her marriage, she says: "When we got together, we were both non-monogamous and agreed that our relationship would be built that way. We both like it because we get more of our needs met, have more support, and more places to be happy." .
"We were together for five years before we got married, and during that time we had other relationships. I have two other long-term relationships."
Lori Beth continues: "The only real challenge is finding time for multiple relationships. It has been especially difficult to find partners since the pandemic."
"We have a transatlantic relationship, but traveling has become more expensive and difficult," she explained.
Here is Lori Beth's advice to those considering polygamy
- Work on yourself: Make sure you are confident in yourself. Figure out your triggers. Practice your emotional skills.
- Don't try to come out if your relationship is unstable. Being open won't save a bad relationship, it will only make it worse.
- Be clear about what you want your polygamy to look like. Will it be exclusively sexual? Will you enter into relationships with other people together? Are you looking for someone to live with you?
- Discuss clear boundaries and rules. Be prepared to review them regularly.
- Do not choose a threesome, which can make someone feel left out. A threesome is simpler and allows everyone to feel like a participant.
