~ Animal Totem Reading: Are Open Relationships Right for You? ~

Choose the Totem Animal which best represents you, then scroll down for your Open Relationship personality assessment:
Deer, Cat, Eagle, Sheep, Owl, Unicorn, Snake, Wolf.

NB: The difference between an "Affair" and an "Open Relationship" is that one is conducted in secret, the other is publicly known and accepted by all parties involved.

~ DEER ~
Wide-eyed, and wandering, Deer you are most likely already part of several open relationships and haven't quite figured this out yet.  You are most prone to have a "rainbow family," that is, multiple children with multiple partners, all semi-related and part of a vast network of court rulings, multiple last names, and monthly child support checks from at least two different sources (and you're working on the third).  Three or four marriages over the course of a lifetime is not a moral issue for you, rather natural, and necessary for survival.  You most likely married very young (due to pregnancy), and are soon to be a grand-parent or great-grand-parent at a relatively young age.  The idea of an Affair is exciting to you at first, but you'll most likely use an Affair as a way to escape a boring or toxic marriage as you prefer not to stay alone for too long.  An "ex" is never really an "ex" to you, and your children are not only comfortable with the idea of your having multiple relationships at once, but they'll tell all their friends about it, too.  Rather than change your ways, it's easier to keep doing what you've been doing for a long, long time.  You are not one to judge the relationship practices of others, because you are so busy tending to your own!  "Live and let Live" is your Relationship motto, and you've both been both cheater and cheated on (who's keeping track, anyway?)  Chances are, everyone in your vast network of family looks vaguely alike, too, and your family gatherings would fill a small stadium.  Your second husband's third wife?  You're already best friends!

~ CAT ~
Oooooooh... Open Relationships?  Cat likes to watch, and maybe, MAYBE get involved in one, but only if guaranteed not to be caught or reprimanded for it, although you'll deny your way out of it anyway.  If you chose Cat, you've thought about, dreamed about, fantasized about your attractive next-door-neighbor more than once, as well as the well-built regular customer at your local Corporate Coffee House.  You are more prone to watch and prowl from a distance, and turn the idea over in your head thousands of times rather than actually taking the risk of displeasing your current partner (owner) with what could cause a neighborhood scandal.  Quite happy in your safe world of imagined fantasies, racy movies, and romance novels, if you do engage in an Open Relationship, you most likely couldn't handle the emotional fallout from it.  Nah, it wouldn't be worth it... but fun to think about anyway.

~ EAGLE ~
If you chose Eagle, your view of Open Relationships is a moral one, and your spiritual and personal values are far, far too elevated to ever engage in such base, animalistic behavior such as having intimate relations with more than one person at a time.  It just seems so... beneath you.  You have worked hard all your life to achieve a level of dignity, self-development, and both personal and professional success, so to try an Open Relationship now would sort-of cheapen things.  You are not one to follow the crowd, be swayed by popular opinion or engage in risky behavior of any kind.  So Eagle, you'll most likely stamp a big, Red "NO" on the issue and continue living a dignified, morally upright life, while generally avoiding anyone who jeopardizes your well-crafted, well-earned status of morally upright living.  The only trap you may fall into is judging others, so remember, what's important is to do what's right for you, and allow others their Free-Will choices.  Understanding too, that Open Relationships are ideal for certain personalities, and have been common practice since the dawn of time.

~ SHEEP ~
If you chose Sheep, you love the idea of Open Relationships because everyone else does, too!  If they vote yes, you will too.  If the majority says it's o.k., then you think it's o.k. too.  You are somewhat fascinated by cultural shifts and trends, although you're well aware that everything has been done before, so why get worked up about it?  You could go either way: Open or Closed Relationship, all depending on what your partner wants.  However, your partner is most likely a Sheep as well, so you'll both ride out this passing cultural trend together, and wait for the next one to pass through.  It's all quite interesting, mostly entertaining, but you've got better things to do with your time than actually DO what everyone else is talking about.

~ OWL ~
Woah, wait, what?  Open Relationships?  Wide-eyed and stub-tailed, you being an Owl means you would much rather watch other people take calculated risks with their relationships and physical hygiene than engage in them yourself.  Owl, you are wise and well aware that every choice is followed by a consequence, and you're not sure what the consequences of having an Open Relationship are, so you'll carefully watch others take the risk, meanwhile taking notes for future reference and good gossip with your other wise, watchful buddies.  You are currently either single or in a somewhat boring, committed relationship, and most likely would not ever engage in an Open Relationship until and unless you are convinced that it is morally and socially acceptable and free of any negative consequences or social backlash from friends, family, and otherwise.  Your main thought is this: "Why would someone share intimate dealings outside of the bedroom anyway?"  Watch and learn!

~ UNICORN ~
Dear Unicorn, the thought of Open Relationships makes you want to retreat even further into your magical woods, safe from the chaos and insanity of common people who are tarnishing your vision of an ideal world in which you live, most of the time.  Remember, you are the elusive Unicorn which most believe doesn't exist: you are morally and physically pure, generally avoid physical contact with other human beings, and the thought of Open Relationships makes you hang your horn in utter disappointment that some people would degrade themselves in such a manner.  Hold your head up, Unicorn!  You know this is a passing trend, although necessary to liberate some poor souls from oppressive, sex-less marriages and boring home lives.  Being the incredibly intelligent historian you are, you know Open Relationships are not a new concept, as anyone who came of age in the 1960's knows quite well, too.  You see two cultural shifts happening simultaneously: 1. A movement toward moral purity, and 2. A movement away from moral purity.  You know you will choose what is right for you, even if you have to wait for all eternity to get it.

~ SNAKE ~
Open Relationships?  Been there, done that, with multiple affairs under your belt, Snake you're the type who removes your wedding ring on your way to work so those you interact with away from home will think you're single.  In your youth, you delighted in breaking up other people's happy relationships, because you, yourself did not know how to create them.  You are always on the lookout for an innocent victim, someone whose purity you can ruin, someone whose name you can tarnish, as everything is a game to you and people are nothing more than pawns to move about in the game.  Open Relationships?  Yes, Yes!  The more cultural chaos the better!  With at least two skeletons in your proverbial closet, you'd love to take a few more people down with you.  If someone says "No," you'll likely manipulate until you get what you want, then leave without a trace.  Damage done... game won!  Be wary of Owls, however, as your game will be spotted and outed by one of them before too long...

​~ WOLF ~
Open Relationships?  Nope, Wolf you are the type to choose a partner for life and that's that.  This is not so much a moral issue for you, but an issue of common sense and personal hygiene.  If your partner declared his/her intention to engage in an Open Relationship, you would hand him/her divorce papers at the speed of Light and set the intention to re-marry as quickly as possible.  It's your way or the highway, and you are well aware that cultural trends like this one are shaped to cause chaos and disorder among an otherwise orderly population.  You have at least one friend who wrote "Open Relationships allowed" into their pre-nuptial agreement, but that's their business, not yours, and you've been friends since high school, so the friendship stands for life as does your marriage.  Wolf, you're not average, so generally you avoid average people who do average things.  This whole idea of tolerating Open Relationships sounds like a Hollywood fabrication just to see if people will actually do it.  At least you know... you wont!
