Three

Charlie Glickman is a serious sex educator. He wrote some good advice on “How to Have a Happy Threesome.” He provides tips for couples looking for a third person, rather than a solo person looking for a couple. Also, it is written to be applied to recreational threesomes, but the tips could be used for a polyamorous couple looking to audition someone for a triad. (Some poly people form “Vs” and others form triangles. And for many poly people, the sex is secondary and grows inevitably out of their friendship, and thus the tips would be different. But for others...)

First, are you both sure that you both want to do it? It’s pretty common for one partner to be more enthusiastic about it than the other. That can be okay as long as there’s some interest, but if one of you really isn’t into it, for any reason, don’t push it.

He’s right; this should be the most basic consideration.

OK, so you both want to make it happen. But what are you looking for? Do you want to find a man? A woman? Do you want to have two of you focus on the third? Do you all want to take turns being the center of attention? Are there specific kinds of sex you want to have?

You can read the rest here. It has some very important basic considerations if you’re thinking about doing something like this, including the important reminders about safe sex.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.

If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.

IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.
