How to stay faithful?

[G-Lexington]

Add me to those who don't get why you don't get it. It's pretty straight-forward. People simply connect on a level beyond the obvious physical attractive one. A relationship isn't a hook-up where somebody forgot to go home.

If you don't think you could be faithful, or even if you just don't like the option of giving up other guys just because you're in a relationship, you simply don't. You announce that you're not interested in an exclusive relationship. Ideally, of course, you offer the guy the same leeway, although I've known a few who felt they were such a prize that that wasn't necessary.

Is there also a locking butt plug

You could invent one and call it the "Alnitak 3000". Maybe with, "...Keeps the Klingons from circling Uranus."

If you don't want to be faithful, don't enter a monogamous relationship.

LMAO! I misspelled "monogamous." When I right-clicked it, "monotonous" came up as a suggestion. I somehow denied the urge to run with it...

Ya, I couldn't stay faithful in a monotonous relationship either.

Keep your pants up and your mouth shut.

Relationship status = df/de (t) = feeling (t) + effort (t)

However, I've seen a lot of people stay focused on one individual, feel fulfilled, not jealous of others, and not need to look elsewhere.

Well just so we're clear, this is bullshit. Everyone gets jealous or feels unfulfilled now and again. You're just surrounded by folks who are good at hiding it. It wouldn't be very good faith if it didn't get tested now and again.

I'm not calling everyone cheaters or anything like that. But don't forget one cold hard fact about yourself and those around you: We're all animals. We're still very much tethered to our instincts and desires and evolutionary design. A lot of people may be good at staying faithful, but sexual appetites don't magically change just because you decide you want to be with one person. Everyone's still going to have sexual itches that their significant others can't fulfill. But it isn't about denying those desires, it's just about being honest and more careful in how you act.

Been in a long term relationship for fourteen years, since we were both 24. Never would have stayed together more than a few months if we needed to be "faithful".
