Yawn! Another day, another celebrity “cheating” scandal that I’m incapable of giving any fucks about. Ben Maisani, the alleged fiancé of news anchor Anderson Cooper, was photographed kissing another man in a New York City park.
Never mind the fact that they could have an open relationship! Never mind the fact that Anderson’s so hush-hush about his private life, they might not even be together anymore! Never mind the fact that Maisani could be “test driving” this guy’s tongue before bringing him home to eat out Anderson’s man-pussy!
Nope! This is the news. All relationships are the same. Kissing another person is always equivalent to infidelity, so let’s all say “Poor Anderson!” and anxiously troll his Twitter account until he issues a statement… That’s what we’re supposed to do in this post-Tumblr society, right? Right? RIGHT?
Ugh. People are ridiculous.

Aww! So HOT!
Infidelity is somehow common in gay relationships. Generally, gays will kiss or have sex with anybody delectable at any moment. This is just my personal perception.
Yeah, I agree, infidelity is so common in gay relationships. and can we call open relationships what they really are — looking for someone better, while living in a great guy’s apartment.
I’m sorry. I’ve met enough people in healthy, open and LONG-LASTING relationships to say that you’ve got it all wrong.
Right! This is SO different from the way heterosexuals behave. Apparently everyone has missed the thousand or so pick up bars in NYC with straight guys cheating on their girlfriends. Too much.

Which one is Ben ?
I’ll never understand why Homos are trying to emulate a DYING Hetro Institution -Marrige. I have never met a gay couple that I would want their “situation”. It’s co dependancy or a Co Mortgage
who.the.fuck.cares.
And there are a lot of straight people that don’t want to be married either…so what is your point exactly??
Eli has it right. Sorry Dewitt you’ve got it all wrong! Oh no…2 wrongs must make it right!!! hahahahaha
Is that Roger Federer?
Perhaps what you perceive as infidelity is your lack of understanding of the more common “open relationship” that gay people have.
ANDERSON COOPER IS GAY!?!?!?!?!
I suppose this is a case of different strokes for different folks. But I think Long-Lasting and open, is co-dependency and fear. I know someone, in my circle, whose partner idea of an open-relationship was meeting someone from craigslist every time the partner was away. The Partner knew all along and agreed to it for two reasons, “My parents really like him,” and “We own so much together.” They agreed to long lasting relationships because it would be easier than breaking up. Sure it looks healthy on the outside, but it’s really just a case of low self-esteem on both sides. But I agree with Eli on this one, Healty, open and Long-Lasting is very very very rare. Most of the time what’s behind open is fear and insecurity.
This seems like a subject rife for a huge debate. Open relationships are quite common in same sex relationships, and are actually a growing phenomena in opposite sex relationships as well.
Open relationships CAN work really well. Some arrangements are healthier and more functional than others but…that’s the same story with relationships and individuals in general…there are all kinds of horror stories out there but really the ideal is pretty sound.
To believe open relationships are based on insecurity, co-dependency, and other negative descriptions is kind of short sighted.
Strict fidelity that I’ve witnessed tends to lead to a lot of jealousy and resentment. In my observation people in strictly monogomous couplings have difficulties even acknowledging opinions of other people that are attractive to them because there’s guilt or fear of jealousy.
Jealousy exists in open relationships as well, but what I see in most open relationships is that it gets talked about and dealt with. Resentments build less and people deal more honestly and even handedly with one another. Enforced monogomy tends to lean toward witholding and resentment-building which tend to make them pressurized and short lived relationships with hurtful fallouts.
Naturally this isn’t always the case, but, I dunno, open situations seem more plausible because they allow one’s partner to be a friend as well as a lover, and allows people to love each other with less coercion.
I still don’t know how same sex marriage fits in, but mostly I see that as a situation of legal rights and the mundane and practical things like joint ownership etc etc. It’s a purely secular arrangement that lends its self to some romantic ideals…
Okay, I agree with you, I think two very progressive people can have a terrific open-relationship, but that’s not the norm. It is very rare. And then there are the people who are monogamous, I have been in a monogamous relationship for three years and it works for me, I tell my partner than when it doesn’t work for him anymore, then we should part. But what I do have is open communication, and Is it perfect… NO… but I am one of those fools that believe sex, can be freaky, athletic and wonderful with a partner you have a true spiritual bond with. (I still flirt and watch porn. The reason why i love this blog but don’t have a manhunt account) I don’t need to fuck myself silly with every hot piece of ass that I come across. Because no one can make my heart flutter the way my partner does. so that’s why I disagree on the open-relationship issue. But I do agree that it works for other people. We are wired differently. But I still say, most of the open-relationships I have witnessed, are not long-lasting because of love or because they want to be together but because of financials, insecurity and fear.

This is hot. GIve 0 shits about anything other than how boner inducing this is.
YAWN
The problem with the open relationship supporters is that you always have to trash monogamy while making your argument.
Honey, Anderson and Ben broke up a while back. There’s no scandal. Move along–nothing to see here.
It’s not infidelity if it’s been agreed to in advance by both parties. Indeed, I think of it more as honesty.
yeah they broke up a couple months ago many rumors but who knows why don’t really care we just want anderson happy with whatever guy he chooses
uhm… I think the point was: don’t bother with marriage!
I know, eh? LOL
Word. Very well put.
a few weeks ago didn’t you post an entry about Anderson’s new boyfriend??? a model and blah blah blah….???
and what about this???? http://www.manhuntdaily.com/2012/05/anderson-coopers-supposed-new-boyfriend-is-hot/
I wouldn’t say that I trashed monogomy anymore than other people trash the idea of an open relationship when they are pointing out their preferred arrangement.
As is common when taking one side of a topic I’m naturally going to highlight the pluses of my chosen side while pointing out the flaws in the one I’m arguing against. Further more I’ll try to show how those weak points in the one I’m not partial to are solved by the one I’m for.
Isn’t this the basic structure of an argument or debate?
I don’t make snide comments about open relationship people because while it’s not the choice for me, it’s not my place to tell someone else they’re loving incorrectly. All I ask is the same courtesy when it comes to my monogamy.
oh the one where one partner sleeps around explaining they’re in an open r’ship, and the other is at home with no idea he’s in one?
LOL… snap!
LOL… snap!
No, I mean the ones, like mine, where we have sat down together and discussed our needs and agreed upon the boundaries to how our open relationship will work. It’s worked for 12 years now and most of our friends are in similar situations. Clear communication is the key to any successful relationship. Putting restrictions on my partners actions or his sexuality certainly doesn’t endear me to him. I know I can’t be all things to him nor him to me. That’s a rather unrealistic expectation to put on anyone, especially if it’s simply being done to conform to a “standard heterosexual” template that was handed to me by my parents. I created my relationship in a way that works for me and for my partner. To see it from the outside without the complimentary understanding of the dynamics and then to judge it from there isn’t really the wisest course of action. Monogamy is not the end-all be-all of relationship dynamics. It’s just one option.
I am guessing there is a firehouse fourgy…. Anderson, Gavin, Ben and kissable above… Everyone knows Anderson likes a good gangbang
My friend just informed me that Anderson and his bf always play with 3rd person. And my friend have met ‘that person’ .. What’s it called? Tri-couple ?
Staged !
Staged !
Man-pussy? I thought I read a post on this site about how silly and backwards it is to describe our luscious assholes with that term. Reading that made me gag, but if that’s what you wanna call it I won’t stop you! I still love you, Manhuntdaily!!
I don’t know! For whatever reason, Anderson Cooper seems like someone who should have a “man pussy” (and I swear I don’t mean that as an insult).
