It takes two \u2026 to fine number three.<\/p>\n

Model Cami Strella and her partner, Lev Lieben, were in a long-term monogamous relationship, but after two years together, Strella suggested they begin to experiment with other partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to have my cake and eat it, too,\u201d said Strella. She explained that she valued the intimate, emotional connection she had with Lieben, but felt it was important to explore other sexual experiences as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\u201cWe just realised this is how we operate \u2013 but it\u2019s not for everybody,\u201d Strella admitted.
Jam Press\/@camistrella<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cWe basically dove headfirst into non-monogamy.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was excited about exploring her sexuality with others at first \u2014 Strella even vacationed in Thailand with one partner \u2014 but although it was her idea, she admitted she was apprehensive about sharing her fianc\u00e9 with other women.<\/p>\n

\u201cI struggled quite a bit with letting go of the concept of ownership because sex with Lev had been so intimate for me,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I wanted to explore sex with other men and women, and it was only fair that he got to do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

As with any relationship, there have been some bumps in the road, and it took the pair a while to get the hang of their new dynamic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were a lot of misunderstandings in the beginning, and we had a lot of rules,\u201d Strella recalled. \u201cIt was a bit weird.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very normal to feel a bit awkward at first, but once you unbridle yourself from the concept of monogamy, it\u2019s really freeing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
\u201cIt is a level of intimacy very few people will ever understand,\u201d Strella explained.

However, the model and influencer explained that honesty was key to making it work.<\/p>\n

The West Coast-based influencer has 410,000 followers on her Instagram account, @camistrella, and makes up to $220,000 a month sharing racy photos and videos online.<\/p>\n

Prior to her current career, Strella was enrolled in a graduate school program studying occupational therapy and neurology, but ended up leaving when her classes went online during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The pair met while Strella was pursuing her master\u2019s degree and Lieben was serving in the army.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\u201cThere was nothing wrong with our relationship,\u201d Strella clarified.
Jam Press\/@36neex<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She said that both she and Lieben are \u201ccompletely transparent\u201d about other sexual partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cFunnily enough, now I really enjoy helping Lev find dates or hearing about his sex life with others.<\/p>\n

\u201cA few times, when he\u2019s told me a particular woman was \u2018great\u2019 in bed, I\u2019ve even reached out to them myself \u2013 and ended up having sex with them,\u201d she admitted.<\/p>\n

Strella also believes that opening up their relationship has tested the strength of their bond.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\u201cWe have a deep connection that has only gotten stronger with time.\u201d
Jam Press\/@36neex<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After two years of enjoying an open relationship, Strella says she hasn\u2019t regretted her decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince opening up to each other about our concerns and sharing our desires, it has turned into something really great.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple enjoys complete sexual freedom, which could make some people feel uncomfortable \u2014 especially at the prospect of literally sharing a partner with strangers \u2014 but Strella says she doesn\u2019t mind at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like sharing Lev because he\u2019s an amazing person and I like the idea of other people recognising this.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also maintains that their bond as a couple, especially given that they\u2019ve been together four years total and currently live together, is \u201cincredibly fulfilling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sex that Lev and I have is very different to the sex I have with anyone else,\u201d Strella said.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people don\u2019t realise that this is a way of life or that it\u2019s an option they could try, which is why I feel it\u2019s important to share our experience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
