Sydney-based couple Jess and Jay say that they have never been happier for opening their relationship to other partners, but that it works because they have strict rules and strong communication around them.
It’s rare to find someone that would say they’d like to see their significant other in a compromising position with someone else.
The usual suspects would probably get in the way – self-esteem, jealousy and, of course, the monogamous rules of the relationship. However, a Sydney couple decided to remove those rules and ‘open’ their relationship to swinging, saying that it has made their relationship all the more solid.
Speaking on KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show, Sydney residents Jess and Jay explained that they started out with a closed or ‘monogamous’ relationship after meeting on Tinder two years ago.

What's The Difference Between Polyamory And Open Relationships?

If you've been active in the dating scene, you've probably spotted the phrase 'ethically non-monogamous' in a few Bumble bios lately. Ethical non-monogamy is a popular dating and relationship term that encompasses a number of "non-traditional" styles of relationship and approaches to dating, including polyamory, swingers, relationship anarchy, as well as open relationships, per Freddie. And while all of these relationships fall under the heading of ethical non-monogamy, they are not synonymous with one another. Though open relationships of all kinds are nothing new, it seems more and more people are interested in exploring their options. A 2021 study revealed that one in nine Americans have been in a polyamorous relationship, and one in six would be open to trying one at some point.
To people who've never considered non-monogamy, the idea of having multiple emotional and sexual relationships might seem confusing. Just the number of relationship labels can be a lot to process. "In practice, it can look like a range of things," Georgia Grace, a certified sex coach and educator tells Vogue Australia. "For some people, being ethically non-monogamous is about wanting to have sex with multiple people. For others, it's about having romantic connections, or it might be about intimacy, or a range of other reasons." Whatever the motivation behind opening things up, the common thread between these types of ethically non-monogamous relationships is that all partners are aware of the open relationship dynamic and fully consent to their partner(s) becoming romantically, sexually, and/or emotionally involved with other people.

Inside Bordoll, a German sex-doll brothel
A brothel in Dortmund offers a dozen sex dolls that users can rent for any service. DW takes a look inside.
Down a dead-end street in a quiet neighborhood south of Dortmund's city center stands Germany's first sex doll brothel.
For €80 ($97) an hour, customers can take one of 12 silicone dolls, including one male doll and a model with both breasts and a penis, into a tidy room to fulfill their sexual desires.
Evelyn Schwarz, 30, is the founder and owner of Bordoll, which is also a brothel and a studio for bondage, dominance, sadism and masochism (BDSM).
A BDSM mistress, Schwarz opened Bordoll last year, after she struggled to find German-speaking women to work in the brothel. In BDSM, she told DW, communication is critical and sex workers who come from abroad and don't speak the language could miss key cues.

A woman raised as white wanted to trace her ancestry. She discovered her father was Black and she was probably conceived at a swingers party.
In 2016, Christine Jacobsen decided to take an at-home DNA test. Both of her parents had immigrated to the US from Denmark, she said, and she was curious about her heritage.
"I expected the results to show that nearly all of me was Danish," Jacobsen, who was 64 at the time of her Ancestry.com test, told Insider. But to her shock, her pie chart estimated that a quarter of her DNA came from West Africa. The Ancestry matches she received were far too distant to help find any close relatives.
So two years later, she did a similar test using 23andMe, which matched her with a Black woman the company identified as a likely first cousin. The women compared their shared DNA and set up a family tree, quickly concluding that her biological father was brothers with the woman's father.
Jacobsen said the people she told about the discovery found it difficult to believe. "My skin is light," she said. But the results surfaced a long-buried family conflict about her paternity.
