I’ve been in a relationship for a few years that’s technically been open for a while. My partner is more on the asexual side, and we haven’t had sex since before the pandemic. I love them just the same- if anything, we’ve gotten better at communicating our needs and boundaries.
Since I do have that high libido, we had a more thorough discussion of what being open means to us. I’ve stayed off of dating apps, but I was considering getting back into them. But there’s this old coworker. We had become friends quickly, but I left the job after a couple months. We stayed in contact, and I made it a priority to hang out with him despite our near-opposite schedules.
Oh, I should also mention that I haven’t dated men for a looong time. I had ID’d as a lesbian for 8 years give or take, and now am bisexual. Still figuring things out about where I stand with guys romantically, but I’m there sexually.
