How To Keep Two Lovers

Just imagine it. A younger lover to fulfil all your physical desires and another, more mature and settled partner to share your domestic bliss, even take delight in running the home and in raising your offspring. Doesn't that sound ideal?

Tilda Swinton, 47, who appeared at the Baftas on Sunday with artist Sandro Kopp, 29, recently said of her partner, 68-year-old director and artist John Byrne, "We ostensibly live in the same house, but I travel the world with another delightful painter. The arrangement is just so sane."

A moment's sober reflection brings you to the conclusion that "ideal" is exactly what this is. Surely, no one can be truly content to stay at home while their partner enjoys lust and leisure elsewhere? Surely, a stay-at-home partner must feel jealous?

Actually if a woman has an older man, or old man they could have "manage a trois." They could find boy toys for the young wife and the old husband can join it. The advantage being that there then would be no secrets between them. Nothing to be kealous about. They would have great sex and the younger woman would have no need to feel that she was missing something in life. As a matter of fact, since they were paying for the third person she may well have better sex than with a steady boyfriend. The older husband could join in as much as is possible for his age and everyone would be happy. No one need know about the arrangement and who could possibly be hurt.

As long as the arrangement is 'just so sane' for the children. 'Mummy ?' Oh she's off prancing with her fuckmeat.

This sounds like a problem that John McCain has....

Typically, the insecure monogamists, who are probably already having a hard enough time with just one, are blaming those among us who are comfortable, and indeed instinctually driven to maximize our genetic diversity, in consensual ways. I know they probably fancy themselves to be all progressive and fair and logical, but when it comes to sex, it ain't like it looks on paper even if it gives some sense of security to those for whom variety is too distracting or nerve-wracking.
Don't the monogamists who also claim to be free thinking liberals ever wonder why it is that monogamy is where they intersect so precisely with good old "rock of ages" religion? Probably not.
Tilda, your sanity is admirable, at least by those monkeys that are aware of our simian past.

Yes, my two lovers are my index finger and my middle finger ;)

[nuttincowboy]

Brain-stain!!

You can always find some gullible piece who will go along with just about anything. Just look for one with no self-respect.

How will you know? It'll be the one who agrees to go out with you.

The headline for this article on the main page is "How To Juggle Two Lovers".

Which almost led me to say something about simultaneously keeping several balls in the air. :-)

[LovelyVelocity]

If they know about each other, what's to juggle?

[Joeseo]

Just proves as true what guys say..."if not for their snatch, we'd hunt 'em just for the sport."

[PoohBear]

What guy ever said this?

[yappnmutt]

your snatch is the only reason we bother with you. if not for your snatch you would be useless and maybe food.

[nuttincowboy]

Good choice of handle... I'll bet you get more ass than a toilet seat. Too bad it's all on-line.

[panchovilla]

This is the kind of helpful practical advice that we've been demanding from the Huffington Post. Ideas we can test in our daily life!

[metaphysicist]

we are now at the tail end of sanity...

you can't smoke in your own home...

politicians can't seem to be representatives of the people...

predictions are more powerful than facts

and now we can't stay together with out some sort of witchcraft...(metaphorically speaking)

the only thing i hope for is, when the comet comes for us...it will be beautiful!!!

stupid humans we get what we deserve!!!

[Dogma]

It would be like balling David Bowie in his 'Man Who Fell To Earth' years...except older, much OLDER.

Surely there are some other hot, older (and available) women out there for a young artist(?)

Honey, we need to talk. I appreciate the things that you do such as taking out the trash and going to work every day and mowing the grass and fixing everything. But you don't meet my needs for fun. So from now on, I'm going to need you to watch the kids so I can go out at night with my new tripartite boyfriend, Tom, with whom I will have lots of sex. Cool?

[philinburb]

This broad could scare a bull dog off a meat truck.

True. She does have a face that could stop a clock - very mannish. Maybe her husband is happy to have her out of the house with her lover so he doesn't have to look at her.

[tehriaz]

you guys are fucking retarded. the bitch is incredible, she was genius in constantine and the arrangement makes perfect sense. you insecure little asswipes have just been too conditioned to think outside preconceived notions of relationship structures. and calling her mannish isn't going to get you INTO a relationship structure of any type. in short: she's better than you could ever do, so quit e-jerking it and shut the fuck up.

Long time theatre actors, Hume Cronyn & Jessica Tandy were said to have one of the best marriages of their time.

When asked how do you keep your marriage together for so long? Hume replied, "We each go home with a different lover each night"!

If your partner is a homebody & your the opposite, of course, you're going to hang out with someone who's like you. Homebodies don't really care for all the glitter & flash. They'd rather curl up with a good book than be bothered by all that nonsense!!!

[johnnyjust]

Gee, that sounds like "one of the best marriages of all time." Interesting quote.
I wonder when Hume said it.
Probably right before he said, "And Jessica is the biggest sap of all time."
