Alex and I started dating just at the end of high school, the week after I turned 18. She was my first real relationship and it was typical teenage romance: Fighting, fucking, drinking, experimenting.
She had way more experience than I did, and she made that known. For the first time, I was fucking a girl that emulated the porn I had watched and it was life changing. Every dirty or "wrong" thought I had that a "respectable" girl wouldn't want to do, she was into. We'd watch porn and try to recreate the scenes we loved.
After about 6 months of experimenting with new positions, toys, genres of porn, and more; she asked a question that a lot of young men dream of hear: "What do you think about an open relationship?"
For context, this girl introduced me to things like smoking a ton of weed, doing psychedelics, ass play, free thought, etc. So in our relationship, it really felt like there was never a boundary line, for anything.
I loved the idea. We both loved the movie 'Savages' by Oliver Stone, and we pictured ourselves living in a hot and mutually respecting "throuple", like in the movie. We agreed and said things like, "Why limit our friendships as platonic" or "Any friend of ours should be trusted and welcomed to our most intimate moments". In theory, it's a great idea, but in practice it may take more thought and maturity than two horny 18 year-olds could put in.
We flirted very openly with friends. She showed off our nudes and various videos of us having sex, mostly to her girlfriends. This became a huge pride point for me. They'd say mostly nice or encouraging things, and it just fuelled the fire we sparked in the bedroom. Eventually, a friend of hers named Katie and I made-out at a small party and that night she slept with Alex and I.
The threesome was messy, sweaty, and the thing of my pubescent dreams. We all got a great amount of satisfaction out of it. I made Katie cum while she played with Alex and they kissed. I stroked while they made out and touched each other for me. Alex sucked me off and ate out Katie between us fucking. It was perfect, I thought. This was my life now.
The next week, Alex went off to school and I went to University in our home town. I was excited to incorporate our new lives into our relationship. I ended up snapchatting a girl I met at school, giving and receiving nudes. Alex met a guy there that went to our high school, neither of us really knew him before, I just new him as the tall black stoner-guy. The thing with my new girl fizzled out. The first time we were hooking up she admitted how weird the "open relationship" made her feel and we went our separate ways.
Alex's new fling did not fizzle out. The first time I came to visit, he was in her dorm when I arrived. It was chill and normal, we all smoked up together and he went back to his house. After he left, I had to ask immediately, "So you guys hooked up before I got here, right?" Alex giggled and sighed a satisfied sigh of exhaustion.
