When watching pornography, your partner may not be flirting with someone.

This can also be a good time to talk about your sexual fantasies and if a threesome is a sexual fantasy for you both.

All emotions are welcome and acceptable when working with a sex specialist at Wisdom Within Counseling.

As well, couples can do other sorts of things together to prepare for a threesome.

In addition to watching pornography of other people having a threesome, you might decide to go to a strip club together to see how that feels.

What comes up for you when you see someone coming onto your partner? Does it turn you on when someone comes onto your partner? What is it like to both see someone else naked? Do you feel happy for them experiencing sexual pleasure? Or, do you feel immediately hurt, jealous or possessive? If there is any jealousy or envy, intimacy therapy is very important to start.

Wether you are in an existing polyamorous couple unit, or you are an individual, a “yes, no, maybe,” list is always a good idea.

We are all individual with different things that shut us down and give anxiety. As well, we all have different things that form and create our erotic blueprint. Writing these down, even in a shared google doc, can give you an idea of your own needs. As well, having a “yes, no, maybe,” list helps your potential threesome partners understand your needs too. Don’t just casually talk about your “yes, no, maybe,” list. Instead, writing it down can be a positive exercise for all people thinking about having a threesome.

Each person can create a “yes, no, maybe,” list and share them

As well, people can talk about their, “yes, no, maybe,” lists. Discussing a “yes, no, maybe,” list should not be done in the moment when sexual activities are occurring. But, “yes, no, maybe,” lists can help all partners talk about what feels good, and what’s off-limits. One partner might have anal sex on their “yes” list. However, another partner may have anal sex on their “no” list. Knowing this in advance will help everyone be aware of what is off-limits and what are green lights. Intimacy counseling for ethically non-monogamous (ENM) couples can help you make a “yes, no, maybe” list.

Remember, saying and asking, “Is this okay? May I touch you here?” is respectful. It can be sexually arousing to feel respected. Consent is not implied and need to be verbalized, if not written down.

Another important component to having successful threesome is discussing how long everyone expects it to be.

It’s important factor in time for foreplay. The female body requires more time than the male body for foreplay. Foreplay will ensure that females involved have a satisfying sexual experience and a positive threesome experience. One female might require 45 to 90 minutes of foreplay to simply become sexually aroused. However, a male partner may think the threesome may only be 15 or 30 minutes, as this is all he needs. Talk about the duration of how long you would like the threesome to last.

Aftercare needs are important to discuss in threesome preparation

What does aftercare look like? Do you want to shower together after the threesome? Would you like to snack and eat some food and watch a movie together? Will you all be sleeping over together and having breakfast together the next morning? Or, are you expecting partners to leave after an hour? Talking about aftercare is also important part of a successful threesome.

Threesomes boost a lot of different brain chemicals. Oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine all boost your mood. After the mood is elevated from sexual pleasure, you may feel a drop these chemicals. Sometimes, people get tearful after intense sexual pleasure and aftercare can help offer emotional support.

Or, you may want a more neutral space, like a hotel room. In order to fully enjoy sexual pleasure and intimacy, the environment makes such a difference.

Smells are a part of creating a positive, sexual, intimate environment

As well, smells in an environment can lead to positive and negative sexual experiences.

Should I have protected verses unprotected sex in a threesome?

Whether you have protected her unprotected sex is up to you. However, it is important to know the pros and cons.

If you are having unprotected sex, you will probably want to ask for a copy of your partners’ STD or STI test. Even if you are having protected sex, you will still want to ask for a copy of your partners STI or STD test. Look for the date of the test, which is on their medical record. This way, you can be sure that no one will be passing around any STD’s or STI’s. Many people can have an STI or STD and not even realize it. They may not have any symptoms.

Looking at someone’s genital area is not a good way to decide if they have an STI or STD. Even if you are having protected sex, it is still a possibility to get an STI or STD.

Talking with everyone involved before you have a threesome can help you understand everyone’s expectations and needs around protected sex. If you talk, and someone is expecting you to be unprotected, but you want sexual protection, counseling can help.

The importance of STI and STD conversations upfront and addressing this confidently

To note, having a conversation about STI’s in STD’s can be awkward. It is necessary for your protection and the health of others though. However, doing so means you have to have a level of confidence in knowing what you want.

Knowing that you want safety in a threesome and safe sex is great. When you and your threesome partners can have a comfortable conversation about STI’s and STDs, this gives you information.

This conversation can also almost act as an assessment to see if a threesome will go well. If a potential threesome partner clams up and won’t give you any information regarding their STI’s or STD’s, this is a red flag.

If someone is forthcoming about the recent STD or STI testing, and willingly share this information, this is a green flag. This means that they share the same values of safe sex with you and care about not passing something onto you.
