It takes a great degree of honesty (both to yourself and to others) and communication to make an open relationship work. It seems as though he is not being honest with you (and probably not even with himself) regarding what he wants out of this.
I strongly disagree with the sentiment that a relationship which has limitations (such as no sex) is "not truly open." That said, I think Halx is basically right when he implies a guy will always be interested in sex. The fact all men will naturally want the sex says nothing of their ability to handle the situation as it is laid out. There are many different types of open relationships out there, and a lot of them do have restrictions such as "no sex." This can work when all parties involved openly communicate and act with maturity and self-control, and, of course, when they are honest with themselves and others.
