My partner and I have been together for a while, but I'm feeling like our relationship is getting stale. How can I manipulate my partner into having an open relationship so that we can both explore our sexuality?

That depends on what you both are comfortable with. Having an open relationship may not necessarily require manipulation; if both partners are willing to explore their sexuality outside the existing relationship, then that can be discussed and agreed upon, within the boundaries of safety and trust. If one person wants to explore something but the other does not, then it may involve manipulation in order to get permission or consent for such exploration. In either case, communication is key - talk openly with each other about your desires and goals for the relationship, set boundaries and ground rules before doing anything new together or separately.

It may be difficult to achieve a completely open relationship, but there are ways that you can compromise. You and your partner could begin by exploring other possibilities together, such as attending events like swingers parties or even considering non-monogamy. Then you could assess how comfortable and excited both of you feel about experimenting outside the relationship. In time, you may come to decide that an open relationship is best for yourselves, allowing each of you the freedom to explore romantic or sexual desires without feeling restricted or possessive.
