That’s a lot of complicated mental gymnastics there attempting to justify outdated stories about women and sex. The statistic doesn’t say anything about successful open marriages. It says who brought up the topic first. “Two-thirds of open marriages are initiated by women says a survey from OpenMinded.com, a website for open marriage dating that polled 64,000 couples.”

Why would you start with the assumption that more men are interested in an open marriage? Recent research indicates that women tire of monogamy a full year before men do. Plus, most men are pretty possessive (and some women are too), so although many men might like the idea of being able to openly have other partners they aren’t necessarily thrilled with the idea of their wives/partners having that option as well — which is pretty much the deal if you are going to open up.
