From the Newspaper of Record: "How To Propose an Open Relationship"
I'm not usually the type who goes around ranting about "degeneracy", but... wow

archive to get around the nyt paywall:

also, an older nyt article shilling for open marriage:
 
But when it comes to fans wanting to sleep with him and how that affects Gates, Middleditch admitted it’s a slippery slope.

“That’s one of the trickier elements of it all, because Mollie doesn’t get that and yet she has to witness it. I’m like, ‘Come on, what about this chick who’s obviously really into me?’ And Mollie will say, ‘Yeah, she’s into you, but where do I fit in?’ That question comes up.”


From his own words it sounds like his poor wife isn't even happy or willing in the arrangement, but goes along with it to make him pleased. He just wants to whore around while she just wants to be with him. It's obviously hurting her to do this, but this guy ignores it because all he wants is to get his dick wet. This shit is fucking abusive, straight-up.
 
The weirdest thing about that article is that apparently Playboy magazine is still a thing.
Don't they just do the articles now? You know the only reason anyone ever looked at one? No, honey, I wasn't looking at the centerfold. I ONLY read it for the articles! I swear!

Yeah, and it's all progressive shit. I think they might do the occasional photoshoot, but it's clothed. The internet killed them as porn so they decided to become Rolling Stone. I'm sure it's going well for them.
 
As always, The Guardian brings us more wokeness and stuff to laugh at (although to be fair even the comments are calling out the OP's cuckholdry). Behold: "My life in sex: ‘My partner’s lover visits our place once or twice a week’". Archive is here.

My partner and I have been very much in love for about seven years. Early on, she told me about a man she had met briefly, years earlier, to whom she felt a sexual attraction unlike anything she had experienced before. Nothing happened, so it stayed an unexplored fantasy.

A year ago they met again by chance, and the chemistry was (she explained) instantly electric. We had a frank discussion about her desire for him, which resulted in her taking him to bed one afternoon for what she described as the best orgasm she had ever experienced. This was followed by weekly lunchtime sex (at my apartment in London).

Soon afterwards, my partner and I decided to live together, and her lover began to visit our place once or twice a week. The challenge, for me, was to recognise that the chemistry she had with him was no threat to her love for me. I could not ask her to forgo such enjoyment (he is 20 years younger than me, 15 years younger than her, so there is a huge difference in the pleasure she gets from each of us). I recognised that the problem was mine, not hers.

We interact comfortably and they feel unselfconscious about showing their mutual attraction in my presence. I enjoy seeing their foreplay or hearing them having noisy sex in the spare room – not as a matter of eroticism, simply two people having a good time.
She would not want me to have the same, and so I remain happily monogamous. Through honesty, openness and trust, we have found the formula for a perfect model relationship.

Oh I agree, she isn't happy about it. Obviously he's done the math and its cheaper to keep her, the tricky part for him is getting her to allow him to get his strange and not having her sign the papers. But don't kid yourself about her reason to stay, I doubt it is anything to do with wanting to please or be with him at this point and more likely that she is sticking around for the money and the connections he has, if he didn't have those she would be long gone.

You really do live up to your name: "Each week, a reader tells us about their sex life. Want to share yours? Email sex@theguardian.com ".

If he's the kind of person who plays head games with his monogamous wife to fuck around with fans it's pretty much a countdown to getting #metoo'd. Garden variety cheaters are usually just selfish, people who manipulate their spouses into thinking it's really for the good of the relationship are straight up sociopaths and almost certainly have plenty of skellies in the closet.
 
:stress:I can only drop in some community watch threads occasionally, but fuck this is a hard one. It’s just like jfc people I’m sure the poly people that actually work out don’t talk about it on reddit ffs. I wouldn’t consider myself poly, but my wife is into chicks and that’s just something we plan to do before having kids. Not fucking date the damn chick willing to fuck a married couple.

R/poly land of the cucks

You sound like you 'bout to get cucked yourself

Wow they actually have an "expert" telling people to get their spouse drunk and suggest a threesome.

If you’re in a monogamous relationship and want to explore making it nonmonogamous, raise the topic gradually. Conley doesn’t drink, but she thinks these exploratory conversations might benefit from the loosening effects of alcohol.

This sounds like advice to a date rapist or a how to guide for a domestic abuser. Abusers also often "raise the topic gradually," starting out with a honeymoon period where they act perfect, then slowly introduce emotional abuse and controlling behavior, ramping up to the actual beatings.

And seriously, alcohol? This is literally date rapist shit. Get the bitch drunk so she'll do anal. What the fuck? And this is presented as legitimate advice, not a horrifying date rape and abuse manual.
