After writing “She Asked For A Threesome, He Choked Her”, I started to think about the obsession and fantasy many people have about experiencing a ménage à trios aka a threesome. Almost every man has fantasized about having a threesome and based on my research it seems like many women have thought about the possibility of having group sex at least once.
Although engaging in a threesome can be a wonderful and exotic experience for some, it can also be a different and yet life-altering experience for others that are accustomed to the rules of one-on-one sex. Whether it’s some girl on girl or guy on girl action, acting out sexual fantasies with more than one person in the bedroom can be a bit awkward and satisfying at best.
There are definitely many advantages and disadvantages to engaging in a ménage à trio; however, should there be rules? Often times there is one person in a relationship that initiates the idea while the other person goes along with it just to satisfy his/her partner. While it may seem like a great idea, is it really a viable activity to engage in if you in a relationship? Should threesomes be reserved for single people looking for some fun experimentation? For those that are curious or contemplating whether or not you should have a threesome, it’s important to look at the advantages, disadvantages, and to set rules.
3 Advantages
Fulfilling a Fantasy If you have ever fantasized about being in bed with multiple partners, engaging in a threesome will help you live out your fantasies and experience new ones.
New Experience Having a threesome should be for personal pleasure! If it’s something you have never experienced, hopefully engaging in such activity is just the spark you need to spice up your sex life. If nothing else everyone involved gets to experience a new partner or partners.
Better Sex Life If you are in a relationship, many believe that your chances of remaining in a committed relationship drastically improve because having a threesome allows for variety and some familiarity. If you are single having a threesome gives you a chance to “play” and experience new things in turn increasing your creativity in the bed room.
3 Disadvantages
Emotional Repercussions Intimate experiences cause emotional connections to form. At all times you should remember that you are having a new experience not a relationship with one or both of the people involved. Unfortunately, many times it is hard to separate the two and one partner may become emotionally attached when in fact it is just a fling. Before engaging in a threesome, it is vital to evaluate whether or not you are ready and can handle a range of emotions including guilt, jealousy, and increased desires.
STD’s This one is a no brainer, but for those who need it spelled out P-R-O-T-E-C-T-I-O-N! The risks of contracting an STD is already present with one person, but engaging in activity with two doubles your possibility of catching some type of disease. Think of Condoms as the 4th participant!
Destroying Your Relationship If you and your partner or not mature enough to handle the many pitfalls associated with a threesome, problems can occur including but not limited to the demise of your relationship or friendship.
Rules
There is no “I” in Threesome A threesome involves “3” people. Even if two of the three people involved are in a relationship, it is important to realize that there are three people in the bed that need satisfying. Giving equal attention is crucial. Do not be selfish!
Set Boundaries If one participant is someone that you are in a committed relationship with, it is important to establish what is and is not acceptable including the scenario (two girls, two guys, etc), kissing, oral sex, or even penetration.
Trust Your Instincts Always follow your gut feelings about everything.
