Are you interested in opening up your romantic relationship?

Researchers at the University of Utah are interested in people’s experiences with “opening up” their relationships. How do relationships change when they transition from being monogamous to consensually non-monogamous (e.g., swinging, polyamory)?

You are eligible for this study if:

You are currently in a monogamous romantic relationship, and

You and your partner are currently thinking about negotiating an open relationship (of any kind).

The study involves answering questions about yourself, your relationship, and your perspectives on non-monogamy. You will also be emailed in two months and asked whether you and your partner did in fact choose to open up your relationship, and if so, what your experiences have been like.

Please note: Although our survey is completely confidential, this is a rather sensitive topic, and not everyone feels comfortable discussing it for research purposes. If you would rather not answer questions about your romantic relationship, please do not participate in this study.

The study will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. In exchange for participating, you will be entered in a draw for a $100 gift card to Amazon.com. If you also answer our follow-up email in two months, you will be entered in a second draw for one of three $100 gift cards to Amazon.com.
