If you are hoping to be together forever anyways, why not explore a bit while you're still young? The rest of your life is a long time to wonder what it's like with someone other than your first and only. If he's already curious, it will only become more intense. Set strong ground rules, discuss it a lot beforehand to make sure everything is well understood and then have fun.
My bf of 3 + yrs and I have never done it but we talk about it sometimes. As we see it, being gay, we don't have to conform to the social norms society sets out for us, we make our own rules. Since we're both comfortable with the idea it will probably happen eventually, but neither of us is desperate to do it either. It's not that it'd be difficult either, I have my own place in a high rise condo with gays on every floor, not to mention the entire neighborhood surrounding me. It's sort of a way to have some variety without having to leave the person you actually love or cheat.
There is nothing "wrong" with doing it unless you feel there is. The only question is whether or not you guys can handle it. If you're both mature, and see it as a once in a while thing it could work. If one of you is liable to become jealous, it's probably not the best idea. Sex and love are not the same thing. I've had sex with lots of men I didn't love, or even particularly care about, I've only ever loved one person. In the end, if it's something you see as potentially being fun, see how it goes. If it doesn't work you don't have to do it again, and if your boyfriend loves and respects you he will understand that.
