PROS of having a threesome

The bonding gets deeper

Exploring sex together not just adds to the excitment but it also works on your bond together. It tends to strengthen the connection between you two. However, you must not judge each other and communicate freely. Do make sure that you decide on the duration of this threesome relationship and discuss all aspects of it including the cuddling and the kissing when the third person is there.

You can feel empowered

When you are on the same page of trying something new and exciting in your sex life, it feels very satisfying. You feel in control of the situation where new boundaries are set in advance. Some people even fantasize about it for years and when it is actually happening for you, you are getting what you wanted, you feel empowered.

Meeting those sexual needs

When you are getting what you always imagined, fantasized, a third person is introduced purely for pleasure, it is a step towards meeting those sexual desires and needs.

You get some variety in bed

Having and trying the same sex positions, becomes a routine and spicing up your sex life in different ways is very important for a healthy relationship especially when you are married. So, a threesome is one way of introducing variety to your sex life. There are so many sexual fantasies that people have and some do require multiple people.

3/3

CONS of having threesome

Feelings may be neglected

If the threesome proposition is not what one partner wants and feels under pressure to do it, then you are forcing them to create some distance. When both partners are not on the same page and one of them feels that their needs are not being paid attention to, it gets difficult. They tend to feel neglected and this affects the relationship.


Surfacing relationship flaws

A threesome is just for sexual fantasies, adding spice to the sex life. It should not be treated like a salve for a cracking relationship. Some people even tend to close down further when a third person is made to involve in the sexual chemistry of a relationship.


It can ruin friendships

Selecting the right person for the third party is very important. If you involve anyone close, a friend, a neighbour, it can ruin your friendship.
