Are Threesomes For You?

I asked my friend to name the top 3 reasons they love threesomes, and this is what they had to say:

  1. Threesomes serve as a harmless taboo experience and have become the default “vanilla kink” for good reason. It’s hardly taboo anymore, and yet it’s still a naughty secret. 

  2. Threesomes serve as a vehicle for hyper communication and clarity in a relationship

  3. Threesomes introduce a level of sexiness, newness, and foster a strength in friendships and sexual relationships like nothing else can.

Clearly this friend has some experience in the threesome realm, and with experience and practice comes a deeper understanding and easier access to erotic and emotional intimacy. This is not a testament from a beginner, but rather someone who has worked to curate threesome experiences that feel safe, loving, and pleasure filled. 

  • Threesomes allow for gender and sexual fluidity in cis-het-normative relationships

  • Threesomes provide a venue for fantasies to exist in real life in a shared environment

  • Threesomes allow one to see their partner experiencing pleasure up close and in a way or from an angle you may not have seen before. 

  • Threesomes provide an opportunity to focus on someone new, introducing an energy not otherwise experienced by the couple. 

  • Threesomes provide an opportunity for a couple to  show their threesome friend one of the most intimate parts of their relationship that may never be seen by others, the appreciation and love they have for each other expressed through sex. 

You may read some of these statements and notice all sorts of reactions bubbling up. I’d encourage you to check in on your body and thoughts and notice what you are experiencing. This may give you some good info on whether or not threesomes are for you.
