March mé·nage à trois: Threeways and Throuples
March 3rd, 2024 is National Threeway Day, so what better way to celebrate than by devoting our attention to the classic sexual fantasy we all have had, the mé·nage à trois? Threesomes can bring sexual arousal to new heights, with double the stimulation for everyone involved. Whether you are just looking for one night of fun, or becoming a long-term adventure as a throuple, sometimes the best fun comes in three’s company!
Triad of Fun
It’s official–doctors have prescribed having a threesome at least once in your lifetime. Well, at least the experts at WebMD have! Let’s explore some of the benefits individuals and couples can have from enjoying their first threesome:
- Improved Communication: Threesomes can improve your relationship with your partner by strengthening the sexual bonds. By seeing your partner enjoy new pleasures with each other’s permission, many have suggested that their relationship became stronger by actively communicating each other’s desires.
- Sexual Comparison: When having a threesome, it is natural for participants to gain sexual pleasure from the idea of their partner being with someone else. Watching your partner engage with someone else from afar can be just as pleasurable as engaging in the sex acts themselves and it allows you to mentally compare yourself to your sexual counterpart.
- Psychological Benefits: Research has also suggested that there are many psychological benefits to having a threesome. For the female or male who has yet to express his or her desire to act on their homosexual desires, or the repressed sexual energy from simply wanting more, acting on your sexual fantasies has many benefits for your mental health.
Throuples
What is a throuple? A throuple is a three-person relationship where all participants are both sexually and intimately interconnected. These relationships can range from very serious to simply being a couple having a regular threesome partner whom they enjoy having fun with. As traditional sexual relationships seem to be less common, this is a new concept that is gaining in popularity.
