Threesome... Or When “3” Becomes The Magic Number!
In human sexuality, a threesome is sexual activity that involves three people at the same
time. When sexual activity is centered on one of the threesome, then the activity may be
described as a gang bang of the person. Threesome can also refer to a love triangle, a threeway romantic relationship. Though threesome is most commonly applied to a casual sexual
activity involving sexual activity among three participants, a threesome may also be found
in a long-term domestic relationship, such as polyamory or a ménage à trois.
A threesome is a form of group sex, but involving only three people. It may occur more
frequently in private situations, such as spontaneous sexual activity among three friends, or
arranged in a community of like-minded swingers or planned as a once-only experience
and rarely in anonymous settings, such as at orgies or other sex parties. Among swinging
couples, one of the two partners is often the driving force and the other is more passivesupportive of the addition of additional sex parties. Some couples use a threesome as a way
to develop a love triangle (ménage à trois).
A threesome is a common element of sexual fantasy. It is commonly depicted in
pornography, but very rarely in mainstream cinema.
