So many women are put off when they hear their guy bring up a threesome when initiating sex — including myself — but not for the reasons you may think.
It's not because I find threesomes to be an oversexualized fantasy that primarily men have (which may be the reason for other women), but mostly because I begin to overthink the act.
Who should it be with? What will it be like? Will he enjoy sex with her more than me? Will I enjoy it?
But truth be told, having a threesome is actually a major sexual fantasy of mine as a naturally curious woman. The mere thought of it gives me the VTs — i.e. the vagina tingles, as my freshmen roommate once put it — as we speak. I couldn't possibly be the only one. I mean, really, once you get past the stigma that threesomes have held for so long, you just can't tell me that it doesn't sound even just a little bit hot.
But, as hot as it is, how much do you really know about threesomes?
We've put together a list of ten surprising facts every woman should know about threesome sex — from the "proper" terminology to straight-up research data. (Did you think that a threesome is every guy’s ultimate sexual fantasy? Think again.)
Comment below and share your threesome experience, whether it never made it out of the planning stage or it was fully-executed, we want to hear about it.
