Movies or TV shows that portray open relationships in a positive light?

Can you list some movies or TV shows that portray open relationships (swinging or polyamory) in a positive light? I'm thinking especially about people who want to discuss the possibility of an open relationship with their partner, but want to ease into the conversation in a natural way - test the waters, so to speak, before jumping into the question directly.

Any other suggestions you might have about introducing the open relationship idea with one's partner would also be appreciated. What are some good ways to find out your partner's views on open relationships BEFORE actually asking?

I would also love to hear some personal stories about how people came to be in open relationships.

    I don't know of any shows or movies that protray open relationships in a positive light, and believe me, I have been looking! I think that those mediums tend to focus on reinforcing people's prejudices rather than opening people's minds.

    I have found that the best way to find a partner for an open relationship is to look in the communities that already have people in open relationships. As far as introducing a partner to the idea of polyamory, it helps to focus the conversation around honesty. There are several good books about ethical poly but the titles are escaping me right now. I prefer the book "The Ethical Sl_t" to be a great book with its frank discussions about sex and jealousy, but it is a bit too frank for some people.

    Good luck in your searches :)

    ok, television portrays each and every little thing as risky as risky is exceptional, and outstanding could be rewarding. the only crime I particularly have ever seen, have been negligible. particular the are murders, yet there are murders and muggings everywhere. think of like this: the rustic is risky with crime like Australia is risky with.....nature. yet how many human beings pass to and love Australia? besides, the U. S.'s crime stats, via city, easy in assessment to....say.....Juarez, Mexico. additionally, as a vacationer, you may understand to stay out of the aspects the place the crime is intense. in basic terms stay out of the "dark" aspects.
