@Baxteen not sure if the question is too personal and I don't really care but out of interest, what is your "situation's" view on having kids? Is this a comfortable no from all parties. I'm almost sure you had a vasectomy but I can't remember. What if someone gets pregnant?
kids are gross and just mess with your sex life.
I had a vasectomy in 2026 already.
Wife cannot have children due to past complications.
GF cannot have children due to past complications.
GF's husband has a sperm count so low due to incorrect medication dosages in the early 2000's that he will never be a father.

other GF wont mind being a vessel, for someone but has no desire of ever being a mother.

but all around all 5 of us agree children is a burden weak willed people endure due to the idea that they will be the only legacy left of them.

and to those people who believe children gives their life meaning, I am sorry you have such a boring life.
 
Tried a threesome, twice. It 's not what one expects, or what I did anyway, prefer one-on-one.

But an open relationship is different, works for me. Except now I'm old enough that I couldn't be bothered.
Come to think of it, not really into sex much at all anymore.
 
Completely unrelated to the sexual side of things I'm not sure I could ever survive in @Baxteen's (fancy that first time I ever noticed it's not Baksteen) setup because I just can't imagine finding 4 people that are that compatible that they could happily live together.

It's more of a me problem for sure, as I can be quite particular but finding a partner that I can live with is already a challenge trying to add two more to that equation would be almost impossible.

Add the sex to that and it's probably a recipe for disaster on all fronts.

Have no problem with the concept, I just marvel at the fact people actually manage to make it work because I definitely never would.

Even just weekends away with friends are always just weekends because any longer and I would start to get twitchy.
I'm barely managing with one more adult in my space, can't imagine adding 2 more to that. The sex is probably the best part of it, but not worth all the other kak you'll have to deal with...
 
4 people to do chores instead of 2.
leads to a few disagreements on that but that is easy to resolve.

less alone time, but at the same time, if you want to be alone just go play Pc games while everyone watches a movie...
 
It is not for everyone for sure. What is right for you is right....and what is wrong is wrong. You know yourself well enough obviously to know it is not for you....and that is fantastic.....knowing yourself well enough that this is not something you would want.

Oh no the sexual stuff doesn’t bother me at all, been there done that and lost many t-shirts.

It’s just actually living with so many people. Not a fok. 🤣

I mean maybe the sex is what camouflages it and we’ve got it all wrong. 🤣

I mean sure from a pure work sharing point of view there are certainly benefits.

My wife and I always joke about a second wife to either go work and make the money or stay at home and do the domestic stuff.

You need a hot 18 year old chick for a few nights.

well we will be 4 people working, and all putting into a single account what I am paying for rent now. that account will cover rent, fiber, water and lights and groceries. so all 4 of us will be saving a lot every month we are also going to get a cleaning lady once or twice a week so there is less issue with cleaning arguments.

and a dishwasher rather than doing it all by hand.

and with 2 of us having "normal" working hours and 2 having really weird hours because they work for american companies, things get split nicely. the two working from home on weird time shedules can do some small things during the work day while we are at the office, leaving more time at night for all of us to relax.

I do not judge you unlike some other members will do.

My advice though is if you are happy then that is all that matters.

Nobody is shocked, most of us just aren't desperate and insecure enough to allow our partners to pomp other people just so they don't leave us.

In other news...

You’ll find it’s quite the other way around.

It takes an extreme amount of security, self assurance and trust to accomplish successfully and desperation is very much the last part to play in any of it as it takes planning and effort.


Where’s the unfaithful part? Nobody is cheating.

Also technically a cuckold wouldn’t be getting any, which isn’t applicable here.

Besides there are plenty of okes whose wives/girlfriends are super charged and they don’t really care for it and let their wives have a “hobby” she enjoys so they can do their own thing.
 
@Baxteen are you still considered two couples when they move in?

As a male the idea of sexual access to multiple partners is always alluring,
but 4 people does seem like the 3 body problem on steroids.
