Open = Non-monogamous.

As for me, Yes, I do; after all, life is too short for monogamy. Thus, I am going to insist that all future relationships and marriages of mine be open ones.

After all, after I will get castrated (Yes, castrated), I will have a lot of sex to "catch up on" (without ever worrying about the risk of unwanted pregnancy and forced child support payments afterwards regardless of which women I will have sex with).

NOPE
I am happy with one guy and less drama in long run.

Out of curiosity--do you think that your views on this will change after you will become very old, though?

If I wanted to be in a open relationship I would not be married nor would I be committed to one person.

You do realize castration can limit, lower or stop your sex drive completely right?

It appears that you and I view marriage differently; I view marriage as a romantic, sexual, and hopefully-long lasting close companionship. However, in my honest opinion, being in such a close companionship with another individual does not necessarily mean that one shouldn't have sex with other people as well during this time.

After all, one can have sex with various people and still be in a long-term romantic (and sexual, obviously) companionship with one other person.

No. I'm not cut out for an open relationship with my husband. Neither is my husband. I had an open relationship with one of my boyfriends and it was right for us at that time in our lives - but it's not something I could do with my husband.
