It just seems like a lot of work

I'd rather Mumsnet.

Am I right or am I missing out?

expat that would be my fantasy. 2 bi guys and me. Yes I would want them to have a little bit of boy fun together, and a bit of DP for me.
I know thats not everyone's cup of tea though, lol.

chastenedButStillSmiling · 08/04/2017 00:36

It was the most exciting thing I ever did!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 08/04/2017 01:52

We just came home from having a cheeky Nando's.

  1. Yes they have them in Toronto, much to our delight.
  2. 'Twas very wholesome so probably not quite the thing for this thread Grin
HelenaDove · 08/04/2017 02:17

Ive never been to Nandos.

SHOCK HORROR! You haven't lived Grin

I reckon it's something you do when you're single, with a fuck buddy or friends with benefits. Not something you do with someone you're in a loving, commited relationship with. Have had a few, one with a couple whose relationship fell apart not long after (only one I regret). Dp told me he had one in with a girl he was in a ltr with years ago, with her mate, and I made it clear if he ever suggested it to me, I wouldn't be happy. I don't want either of us to fuck other people. I think I may be bi, I do enjoy sex with women I find attractive. Can't imagine why a fully straight woman would want to do it, other than to please the man.

PetallyTyrants · 08/04/2017 05:40

I've never had a threesome, never been to Nando's, and ....
never watched Broadchurch.

I had a bad accident this week. No idea when I will next feel up to having sex. But this thread made me laugh so much my wounds hurt.

OhLaVache · 08/04/2017 07:12

expat loving that insight into the ballet world... who knew??

Have you been camping 'tho?

OhLaVache · 08/04/2017 08:02

Wicked - might not be something you'd do in a loving commited relationship but for many people it is! It's not fair to conflate non-monogamy and a lack of love and commitment. Actually, non-monogamy takes lots of trust and great communication as well as honesty... all ingredients for a successful loving and commited relationship.

feltlikejodiefoster · 08/04/2017 08:04

I cried laughing at loupgarou's weasel scarf Grin if probably have a threesome, but not while I was in a relationship as I'd worry about it being wrecked afterwards.

thegreylady · 08/04/2017 08:10

Nope not for me but I am in my 70s, dh in his 80s so we'd forget which bit went where and wander off for tea and chocolate in the middle leaving the third led to sort themselves out Grin

Choclover27 · 08/04/2017 09:30

I think I might have just got a new boyfriend. I might just be going to have sex in the near future. I've never had a threesome.
Feeling a tad left out.
Should I suggest it it for our first night.

PetallyTyrants · 08/04/2017 09:37

Deadsouls - tried camping once. Never again! See, I'm clearly not the 3some type 😀

@noeffingidea That sounds like the perfect combination! You're not the only one ;P

@ohlavache Spot on there! Having a threesome involving you and your long term partner doesn't mean you don't love one another or 'need to spice things up'. Sex does not equate love and vice versa, so as long as you are both agreeable to bringing a third in for sex only, why should that necessarily affect your love for one another? Also there are things such as gasp polyamory! Grin

I can't stop thinking of that great quote which goes something like: "Threesome? No thanks. If I want to disappoint two people at the same time I'll have dinner with both my parents".

Workhorse lol

car5ys · 08/04/2017 17:07

Would have in my 20's when I was having hot sex regularly not now though, cuppa and TV much preferable and sharing a bed with a grumpy, farting, snoring Oh really does nothing to make me want to have sex these days. Do sometimes miss those 20 something headonistic days though (different bloke back then!)

car5ys · 08/04/2017 17:08

Just to clarify my great days were with another beauty not my ohWink
