Your guide to your first threesome

threesome

It may have been a fantasy of yours, or of you all for a while: sex with three people, a threesome, a ménage à trois. And why not give it a try? In theory, it all sounds very sexy and exciting, but in practice, it can sometimes turn out to be awkward and uncomfortable. That's why LotteLust has a guide for your first threesome, to help you get started.

With whom?
The first challenge is the question: who are you going to do it with? Sometimes something spontaneous happens with three people, but most of the time you really have to take the initiative yourself. There are countless possibilities, from websites created specifically for this purpose to picking someone from Tinder or looking for someone from your own circle. It might actually be nice to already know that person to feel more at ease, but do keep in mind the potential consequences when you run into them again.

The male-female ratio
Another choice you need to make is whether you want to be in bed with (only) men or (only) women. In short, the composition of your threesome. What you can keep in mind is that it is also an option for one of the three to watch or for there to be ‘swapping’ so you might not all be engaged at the same time. Perhaps you find this a nicer first step and it makes a difference whether you invite a man or a woman.

Positions
You might think: if we are three, we just go for it. In porn, it always looks so smooth. And maybe it is, but there is a good chance that it will take some searching to figure out how all three of you can get your needs met. There are a number of positions that are very suitable for threesomes, such as the Daisy Chains and The Magical O.

Do it safely
This is of course rule number one when we talk about sex, but especially with threesomes. You have a two times greater chance of an STI. Maybe you trust your partner one hundred percent, but have you done a full background check on the person you invited into your bedroom? Do you find putting on a condom really a mood killer?
