My girlfriend asks for an open relationship – and helps her

Need two… rank third.

Model Cami Strella and her partner Lev Lieben were in long-term monogamy, but two years later, Strella suggested they start experimenting with other partners.

“I want to eat cake, I want to eat it, too,” Stella said, explaining that she values ​​intimacy and emotional connections with Leben, but feels it is important to explore other sexual experiences, too.

“We basically have to be non-married first.”

She was initially excited about exploring sexual behavior with others – Strella even had a vacation in Thailand with a partner – but while that was her idea, she admitted she was worried about sharing her fiancé with other women.

“I’m struggling to let go of the notion of ownership because sex with LEV is so close to me,” she revealed.

“But I want to explore sexual behavior with other men and women, and it’s fair to only he has to do the same.”

As with any relationship, there were some bumps on the road and it took the two to get some grasp on their new dynamics.

“There were a lot of misunderstandings at the beginning, and we had a lot of rules,” Stralala recalls. “A little weird.”

“It’s very normal to feel a little embarrassed at first, but once you get out of the concept of monogamy, it’s real.”

But, models and influencers explain that honesty is the key to making it work.

The West Coast-based influencer has 410,000 followers on his Instagram account @camistella and can share up to $220,000 in revenue online per month.

Prior to her current career, Streella participated in a graduate school program for researching occupational therapy and neurology, but eventually left while spending her time online during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The two met while pursuing their master’s degree at Strella, and Lieben served in the army.

She said she and Leben were “completely transparent” with other sexual partners.

“It’s interesting now that I really like to help Lev find dates or sex life related to others.

“Several times, when he told me that a particular woman was lying in bed ‘good’, I even contacted them – and ended up having sex with them.”

Stralala also believes that opening up their relationship has tested the power of their bond.

After two years of open relationship, Strella said she didn’t regret her decision.

“It has become something really good since we open our attention to each other and share our desires.”

The couple enjoys complete sexual freedom, which may make some people uncomfortable, especially in the prospect of sharing a partner with strangers – but Stralala says she doesn’t mind at all.

“I love sharing LEV because he’s an amazing person and I love the idea that other people recognize it.”

She also insists that their bond is a couple, especially given that they have been together for four years and are currently living together, which is “incredibly fulfilling.”

“My sex and I are very different from what I do with anyone else,” Stralala said.

“A lot of people don’t realize it’s a way of life and it’s not an option they can try, which is why I think it’s important to share our experience.”
