So you hit it off with someone. Okay…two someones. Maybe it’s a lifestyle you want to get into. Maybe those cocktails you imbibed are helping you feel a little bit more adventurous and a little bit less conventional. Or maybe, you just want to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Either way, you find yourself heading back to somebody’s place to have a threesome. Each party knows it’s happening. There has been affection and flirting, back and forth, in all three directions, like a little sexual tension triangle. Nobody has said, “We’re having a threesome” but…you’re having a threesome. Hey; no judgment. Do you. Life is short. Just know there are some things to be prepared for in a threesome—things a lot of people are not prepared for. Here is what nobody tells you about having a threesome.

You have to be cautious with condoms

When you have various people being penetrated—in who knows what places—you need to be very cautious about condom use. A new condom should be used for each person AND each orifice.

It can be disorienting

Sometimes you won’t know whose hand is on your breast and whose mouth is on your—ya know—because you’re too busy focusing on where your hand and your mouth are.

Sometimes, you feel left out

You’ll have moments when you feel left out. It’s probably an accident since, as stated before, sometimes people just don’t know who is doing what. You just need to take initiative and get back in there when this happens.

There are usually two people who are more into it

It cannot be helped. There are usually two people who are more into it. Either they’re more experienced with threesomes, they’re most attracted to one another, or they’re the most comfortable with the experience.

One person ends up working pretty hard

If it’s one man and two women, that man ends up working pretty hard. If it’s one woman and two men, that woman ends up working pretty hard.

There is a lot of moving around

You need to switch positions much more than you do in two-person sex. And sometimes, the position switching can be dizzying.

Sometimes, not everybody finishes

The more women in the equation, the less likely it is that everyone will finish. If two people happen to finish and one doesn’t, the two who have are usually out of energy to help the third one out.

Or, it can be hard to know when everybody has

It can also just be difficult to know when everyone is done, particularly if the threesome is predominantly women.

It’s intense

It’s very intense. It’s a constant procession of body parts flying at you. You have to be very relaxed to handle it.

It’s best if everyone is into everyone

The best threesomes are those in which each person is attracted to every other person, equally. If you’re seeking out a threesome, make sure everyone is just as into everyone as the next person.

There are no rules

There really aren’t rules. If there is one man and two women, the man might not have intercourse with each woman. If there is one woman and two men, the woman may not have intercourse with each man.

There are so many noises

The noises are just a lot. When you have three bodies together, several areas of skin are slapping against each other at any given moment.

You have to make sure everyone feels included

You’re constantly making sure that everyone feels included. If you’re just having sex with one person, you don’t really need to worry if that person feels included.

They’re exhausting

You will feel exhausted after a threesome. One-on-one sex may burn some calories, but a threesome will make you need a protein shake.

The wrap-up is awkward

Do you…all cuddle? Turn on the TV? Order pizza? Do the people who don’t live there leave? What if the person whose home it is only wants one person to stay?
