When it comes to threesomes, one of the other most common predicaments is what type to have. Sure, MFF is where a lot of people’s heads often go first, but what about the elusive MMF? There’s no denying the double standard that exists when it comes to male-on-male-on-female action, though honestly, it’s no harder (or less arousing) to execute than any other. So if you’re in the market for some hot tips on how to do so, check out the blog 3 Ways To Have a MMF Threesome. 

THE ETHICS OF UNICORN HUNTING

And lastly, it’s time to tackle what’s arguably one of the trickiest pieces of the three-way puzzle: the third. As with all good sex practices, finding that extra partner comes with several ethical factors.

Considering they are a person, not just a play-thing, there are a lot of variables that go into not only the search, but the approach and agreement, too.

THREESOMES

It’s no secret that threesomes can turn into tricky business, but Emily and Menace are here to help set the record straight in the aptly titled episode Threesomes! Giving a full rundown of three-way etiquette before, during and after the experience, the duo explains why pre-planning is everything—despite what porn makes us want to believe. Plus, they explain all the things (and emotions) to watch out for along the way, and how to steer clear of the most common mistakes across the board.

THREE-WAY TAKEAWAYS

There’s no denying how common threesome fantasies are in the minds of many, but as is always the case when it comes to one’s sexual imagination, it’s not something that everyone wants to carry out in real life. 

Each person’s situation is always different, and if it’s something you and your partner want to add into the mix of your (already solidly grounded) relationship, then go for it! However, know that even if it’s your go-to scenario played over and over again in your head, it’s also perfectly normal to want to keep it there.

Threesomes can be a great way to explore your sexuality and – under the right circumstances – potentially grow closer to your partner. So if it makes sense in your case, then more power to ya! Go forth and have fun. Although, if not, that’s totally fine as well. It’s just a matter of figuring out what can do the trick to help you become the Indiana Jones of your own sex life.
