Taboo relationship practice: Flirting with others

Entertaining some flirty banter with someone other than your partner is usually seen as a sign that you may be unhappy or unfaithful in your current relationship.

Nevertheless, when done without the intent to cheat, flirting with others can potentially spice up your relationship, according to relationship experts. When we flirt, we rediscover our confidence and sensual side.

And we can carry those positive feelings back into our relationship. If you’re in a monogamous relationship, just ensure the flirting doesn’t cross a certain line into territory inconsistent with the fidelity of the relationship you’re in.
