“Yes, approaching libertarianism with your partner can be a delicate process, but if done with respect, openness and communication, it can strengthen your relationship.”
We’re often asked how we got started in the fulfilling world of libertarianism. When and how did we broach the subject as a couple?
We’re both on the same wavelength in our personal, sexual and even professional lives. Our relationship is based on a mutual sharing of our emotions, feelings, expectations, desires, sensations and forebodings.
An evening over a drink (or two) with a loved one, an evening where at any moment our conversations can veer off onto very deep and introspective subjects. That’s how our curiosity about libertinism began.
You’ll tell us that not all couples are like ours, and we admit it…Yes, broaching libertarianism with your partner can be a tricky business, but if done with respect, openness and communication, it can strengthen your relationship.
#Communication
Above all, communication is key. Choose an appropriate time to discuss your desires, your fantasies and your interest in libertinage. Make sure your partner is comfortable enough to share his or her own thoughts.
#Ecoute
Listen to everyone’s concerns, questions and misgivings. Listen without judgment and be open to understanding your customer’s point of view.
For us, it was essential to learn about libertarianism and its various forms, including libertine clubs, online dating and so on. Our in-depth knowledge of the subject helped us to answer everyone’s questions.
It’s important to discuss the limits and rules you’re willing to accept. This can include rules about potential partners, protection, communication and how to end an experience if either of you is uncomfortable.
#Patience
Be patient, the process can take time. Your partner may need time to think, research further or feel comfortable with the idea. Respect this time.
Discuss and try to understand your reasons for exploring libertarianism. Is it mainly for sexual excitement, to strengthen your relationship, to explore your own desires? Understanding these motivations can help you make more informed decisions.
#Respect
Be prepared to give up. If your partner is not interested in libertarianism, respect this decision. It’s essential not to insist or coerce. You can continue to discuss your fantasies and desires, but never force the issue.
Communicate, continuously…once you’ve started exploring libertarianism, continue to communicate openly with your partner. Regularly review rules, limits and experiences to make sure you’re comfortable and satisfied.
Libertarianism can strengthen your relationship if you do it with respect and mutual consent. Remember that communication is the key, and respect for your partner’s feelings is paramount.
What an adventure!
