A woman who has been married for just two years says she’s ditching the idea of traditional marriage to practice free love with her hubby.
Isabela Lima is a 25-year-old influencer with nearly 60,000 followers on Instagram, where she shares tidbits of her relationship with Prazeres Jr – who is 10 years her senior.
The pair wed in 2022 and had intended to remain monogamous.
But they’ve since abandoned that idea in favour of practising “free love” – which they now preach on social media in the hopes of getting others to join them.
“We’re here to show that love doesn’t have to be monogamous and that there is incredible freedom when you allow love to flow without restrictions,” Isabela told Need To Know.
“Many of our followers feel pressured in their monogamous relationships.
“They come to us looking for a solution to this constant desire to ‘jump the fence’.
“We want to show that there is a solution!”
Isabela and Prazeres Jr, also an influencer, say the idea of free love is linked to spirituality.
The couple, from São Paulo, Brazil, receive backlash online from people who don’t agree with their relationship style but say it doesn’t deter them.
Isabela said: “When we talk about free love, we are talking about freeing ourselves from the constraints imposed by society and finding a way of loving that is true for each of us.
“We are not here to please everyone.
“Our intention is to offer an alternative for those who feel suffocated by the monogamous relationship model and want to try something new.”
Prazeres Jr. added: “Free love freed us from chains and can free you too.
‘It’s not just about sexual freedom but spiritual freedom.
“We want people to discover the transformative power of connecting with love in a more open and genuine.”
The couple first met four years ago at a fancy dress party.
At the time, they were both single but “went out with couples and had orgies”.
Although their relationship has always been on free love, they now have rules in place – such as always exploring new sexual situations together.
Isabela said: “We have our agreements within what we allow ourselves to live in the liberal environment, we don’t go out alone without each other, the two are always together!”
“We believe that free love improves several aspects within the relationship, including increasing complicity and trust, improving communication, increasing libido and improving connection, among others!”
