Guys, help me out here...why are threesomes so awesome?

Asked by aneedleinthehayy (1198points) April 14th, 2009

I’m just wondering what are the reasons for threesomes being such a cool thing to do. i don’t think they are bad or anything, i just want to know all of your reasons.
girls, if you know or have had the experience, let me know.
my s/o and i have been discussing it lately and i’m just looking for the collectives thoughts and opinions.

4 boobies > 2 boobies.

My friend Sally put this answer very well. With a 2 girls/1 guy, one of the girls are gonna feel left out. With a 2 guys/1 girl, the odds of the girl being satisfied raise significantly. Personally, I prefer 1 on 1 attention.

Between an established couple, to bring in a third partner changes the dynamic than if it’s three casual sex partners coming together. Neither one of you is ever going to forget the look on each others faces being touched by the third, touching the third and you’ll never forget watching your steady partner in motion, reaction, in discovery. That can be exciting or something else but you can never un see it.

2 bitches are better than one

I would NEVER do it with a S/O. I don’t even like to think about a S/O having had past partners (I mean I accept it, but I don’t like to think about it). I’m not a jealous type or anything like that, but I wouldn’t want my S/O to be with someone else.

HOWEVER I would totally do it if I were single with two other single girls, neither of whom I was in the “courting process” with. I don’t think I would ever do it with multiple guys involved (just not my style).

sharing is caring and two is better than one. Its up to you, you just have to find a girl that likes to play around with another person. Its always hot to see and be involved in 2 girls in action WITH yourself! :)

It depends. I’ve only done it once (me, my gf + 1 extra girl) and it was great. As a man, I liked it for more or less the reason explained in the first answer. My girlfriend liked it because she also had lesbian tendencies and was satisfied by both sexes simultaneously (she got double attention sort of). The other girl felt sort of weird and eventually got out of the equation. She’d never done that sort of thing before, and was trying to work things out with an ex boyfriend, and felt it wasn’t right and all sorts of things like that.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience for me. I imagine that if I were a woman I’d like to have sex with two (or more) men. I know most girls do. But as a man, I would not like to have sex with my gf + one more male. I’d feel very embarrassed with the other guy even being there.

I’ve been asked to take part in a porno movie, and this was the main reason I would not even consider it (the cameraman watching is bad enough).

@Jack79 Gonna do it.. stud?

Seriously answering your question, I had a good amount of action with 3-somes. My current gf doesnt like to share me haha. But previous ones, my x’s and i have played around, most of them actually are bisexual women and man it was such a turn on haha..

One thing i can’t do is tag team a girl with another dude. I mean i have heard some of my buddies talk about it and i just can’t say a word. lol.

Anyway, the idea is really nice, especially if the second girl is very open to a lot of things such as pleasing the other girl too. Anyway, good luck to you, just don’t let them blind fold you hahaha, i ended up getting tied and tickled and was held back a lot of times to reach the end (am i allowed to say *** LOL)

I’d just like to point out that the original question doesn’t state that it’s a two-female-one-male threesome.

I wouldn’t be opposed to a threesome with another man, but the idea of having two women at the same time is a particularly appealing fantasy.

I’ve not yet had the experience of either.

Randy's avatar

I’m not gay so that gets rid of the three males scenario.

I’m not a girl, so three females will never happen for me.

Me and two females is trouble because I only have one penis. Someone is gonna get left out, be it me or one of them.

Most guys have a fear of this one, the two guys one girl thing. Call it jealously if you’d like but I just don’t like the thought of a girl I’m with having sex with some other guy. For some couples, that works but my mind just isn’t programed for it. Most of the time, I only have sex with a girl when I’m in a relationship with her and I know I couldn’t share her with someone else.

This is a tricky thing. Is it just for fun? Or is it emotional? When I was 20, I was living in a basement with my girlfriend, her girlfriend, and two other women. When I say “her girlfriend,” I meant that they were just friends. However, the girlfriend was also bi. Things seemed to be going on between me and the friend, so I asked my girlfriend if it would be ok if I slept with her friend. I have no idea why she agreed. Maybe, in those days, jealousy was a political issue, and she didn’t want to admit she had any.

It was probably one of the most, if not the most incredible nights of sex I’ve ever had. The main thing I remember is falling off the bed onto the awful shag carpet, and not caring at all. We couldn’t get enough of those good feelings.

Anyway, the girlfriend was hot for my girlfriend, so we decided to have a threesome. It got a little weird, because the other girl was really into my girlfriend, and not as much into me. So things got a little strained, with my girlfriend needing to provide equal time to us.

I think this situation was ok for all of us because we all knew each other fairly well—as friends or lovers. However, I also think it was the beginning of the end of my relationship with my girlfriend. Once we had okayed the issue of sleeping with other people, she did, and then I got jealous, and after a while, I graduated, and she used that as a way to break up with me. From what I heard, she then started sleeping with a lot of men.

Sometimes I imagined an idea of three people in love with each other. Whatever configuration. It didn’t matter, but it just didn’t seem to hang together. There was always one person getting left out.

If it’s just sex, then it seems to me that it’s usually about one central person, and the other two service that person. It’s a power trip if you’re that one person. That adds to the delights of the sex because you know that not just one person, but two want you badly. Of course, this is harder to believe if you’ve hired one of them, or if the wife arranges it for one night. Then it’s more like just having a couple of women focus on you, and you being selfish. How wonderful to lay back and have all the attention. I guess some guys do this all the time. I think most of us prefer a more equal situation.

Anyway, I think it’s the awesomeness of being the center of attention that is attractive to men. At least, it was for me. You know how much fun it is when you can arouse more than one part of your partner’s body at once? With a threesome, that happens all the time, without even trying. Double stimulation is pretty amazing. Having two women want you is amazing.

I have no idea how often reality matches up with imagination, but that first time wasn’t the only time for me, and some of the others were pretty incredible. In fact, one of them is on the top of my all-time list of favorite sexual moments in my life.

Have done the MFM. The pleasure my SO derives from the situation is a 100% turn on for me. I love the throws of passion and satisfaction she gets and love the expressions on her face and the quivering body when everything is done right. As for FMF there is no reason for either woman to be left out. Just means more pleasure for the guy. >:)

Randy's avatar

@DREW_R so it doesn’t bother you that it takes someone else to make your SO feel that way? That would bother me when I thought about it.

EDIT: I’m not trying to be a dick with this, just trying to figure out how your mindset differs from mine

FrancisRude's avatar

I have done MFF, not yet and I guess never will with MFM thing.

DREW_R's avatar

@Randy
Not a bit. I do well on my own but never get to watch the pure ecstacy while in the drivers seat. Sex and love are alot better than fighting.

wundayatta's avatar

@DREW_R Are these men friends, or how do you find them?

DREW_R's avatar

@daloon Friends that we have met over the years and well screened. Not just some joe off the street.

wundayatta's avatar

@DREW_R: Is your wife physically attracted to them? Is she emotionally attracted to them? How do you keep jealousy out of it?

DREW_R's avatar

@daloon
I experienced the green monster Jealousy 2 time in my life. The urge to kill another human is not a feeling I relish and if given the chance in both of those instances I would have killed a human. Thus I tamed my lil green monster never to be bothered by it again. The hate/rage was not worth it. Life is too short so enjoy what you have. ;)

Of course she is attracted to them in both ways. Otherwise nothing would ever happen.

Randy's avatar

@DREW_R Impressive is all I can say. You are much more of a gentleman than I could be in the situation. Different strokes for different folks! =)

wundayatta's avatar

@DREW_R: I thought I might be able to tame jealousy. Theoretically, I felt, it was wrong. Unfortunately or fortunately, nature won out over intellect.

I think you must have some amazing stuff going on inside you to make you test yourself that way. Perhaps some intense experiences, as well. I wonder if you can forgive yourself for that rage? I hope so.

ayoub00's avatar

there is a difference between 2 booties and 1

Dr_C's avatar

why limit yourself to three?
if like @eponymoushipster 4 boobies > 2 boobies… imagine 16 boobies!
better no?

eponymoushipster's avatar

@Dr_C we’ve all seen Total Recall and know the dangers of irregular amounts of boobies…

DREW_R's avatar

@daloon The rage is tamed and I am forgiven. ;)

If you have to look outside for support to get your wife or GF into a threesome you are already two strikes down in the count. In my experience there are four types of women who go for a MFF threesome: the sexually adventurous, the bisexual, the bicurious and sexual professionals. Trying to convince a women who doesn’t fit these four is a formula for diaster.

In the case of a MMF threesome the types of women that go for this are: the sexually adventurous, the sexually unsatisfied and the last ditch relationship saver. The latter two types are also a formula for disaster.

If she doesn’t warm immediatley to the suggestion, walk away if you value your relationship.

Ok, my twist on threesomes. Two women and a a man is the best. Women are nurturers. They can hold hands, cuddle and be “intimate” friends. That translates quite well in the bedroom. And, at least for me, it is good for the male ego. No other men to compete with. You are there because the ladies want you there. Schwing!
Two men and a woman. The problem there is one man is going to be the alpha, the other is going to be the “wimp”. The sloppy second guy. I do not roll that way, and I feel that having to always keep my superior manliness in check just takes away from the pleasure of it. For you ladies in a MFM situation, you are going to be nothing but a hole. Get in get out, men are dogs. Only the hard core sluts dig that. Not my cup of tea. How about if the women is with two Bi men? Even there, one of those men will be the weak one, having to submit in some way. Too much sward crossing going on. Besides not interested in enjoying a woman when that other guys thingie was where I am now.
Also, in a FMF situation, one where all three are all for it. Not a I’ll give it a try situation. You can kick back , take turns and someone is always being kept busy. As one recoups there is always another to keep the pace up.
WARNING: in either case, it is hard work. ;-)

I think if you have to bring in another person to make the sex good, you’re obviously lacking some kind of passion with your current partner.

CMaz's avatar

It is the passion with your partner and the bond and connection that can allow it to happen.
The other person is not there for emotion but for play.

YOu could have the same answer if instead of a threesome you said a dildo.

If I hate being the third wheel out of the bed, I’m going to hate it in bed.

cornbird's avatar

Threesomes look like a great experience to me, I have seen it on tv and it looks great.

liliesndaisies's avatar

I think they just look good on porn. Mere acting.

CMaz's avatar

One to clean the dishes, one to dry and the other to sweep the floor.

odali's avatar

I don’t think theyre awesome, gotten more than a few invitations to MFF ones, and always declined. I’m just not interested in it. I much prefer focusing on one woman and knowing Ive satisfied her time and time again.
