I’m right there with you that David’s plan for Patrick was a terrible idea! David’s dating history has clearly involved a lot of “open” relationships, although his comments make it clear that that was sometimes, or often, involuntary on his part. (“Has he asked you for an open relationship?” “Not yet!”, and the line later about how he’d like to find out he’s in an open relationship BEFOREHAND, as opposed to being told it after the fact.) Sexually “open” relationships are, as a cultural phenomenon, more prevalent in the queer, gay male community than they are in general. I have no numbers to back that up, just a lot of anecdotal stories from friends and people I know. Obviously, it depends on the person — and where they are. Point is, it makes sense that, in the esoteric social/romantic world that David navigated in NYC, this was a common thing. Now he’s having to navigate a dating world with completely different standards than what he’s been led to expect before. This is ON TOP of his own, personal insecurities where he’s skeptical that Patrick could want to be with only him.

Why is the word open in quotation marks? Also the word you may be looking for is polyamory, which in one study reported on The Advocate's website had the following statistics: "There are more women than men: Essentially half of the respondents (49.5 percent) identified as female, while only 35.4 percent identified as male. The remaining 15.1 percent either declined to choose between male and female or wrote in other genders such as two-spirit and genderqueer."
