Gay Couples In Open Relationships Are Happier and Closer, Study Finds

Image Source: Flickr.com | MasterDesigner 92282778@N06A new study suggests that gay couples who are in an open relationship may form a closer bond than those who are monogamous. The study, which was conducted at the Center for Health, Identity, Behavior and Prevention Studies at New York University, looked at 10 same-sex couples in open relationships to examine their happiness levels and overall satisfaction. And the results showed that gay couples in open relationships appeared to be happier and to have more fulfilling relationships.

“My impression so far is that they don’t seem less satisfied, and it may even be that their communication is better than among monogamous couples because they’ve had to negotiate specific details,” said the lead researcher. According to the study’s participants, communication is key to a happy, healthy relationship. A set of rules and open communication is really what makes an open-relationship successful. Although there’s still a stigma involved with open relationships, these happy gay couples know that their relationship is  healthy and strong: “We’ve run into gay and straight people who have assumed our relationship is ‘lesser than’ because we’re not monogamous. I think that’s offensive and ridiculous,” explained one of the participants. Right on!
