Open-mindedness = free love?

[Cognitive_Canine]

Hmmm, isn't this merely called "respect"? - I'd have thought that open-mindedness had an element of learning or adopting in it as well rather than distinguishing each other.

 

P.S.: "as long as it doesn't hurt anyone" do you also include emotional hurt? i.e. If someone says am promiscuous; if you truly love me you must accept that I will sleep with others, too."

 

If that was the definition of open minded, then no one would be open minded as there are very many conflicting lifestyles and you can't possibly adopt all or even several of them.

 

Part of your example is "I am monogamous, if you truly love me you must accept my boundaries of not sleeping with others". You shouldn't say "if you love me then you'll do this" under any circumstance because the opposite can be used against you.
