Being offered a threesome.

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
That´s the jist of the story. Last night I was working as a promoter at a nightclub, and was talking to my work partner, when he took me aside and seriously proposed that I have a threesome with him and his current girl. He suggested that I met up with his girlfriend, who is ´bi-curious´ and also happens to be a model, to see if we got on. If we like each other, then maybe the three of us could meet for dinner and just see how things pan out.

I, myself am bisexual, and quite a liberal person - currently being in an open relationship with another boy. I told him I would mull it over, and he seemed happy with the answer. We continued talking for the rest of the shift, finishing the night in the club, and eventually ended up kissing. We decided to go to another club night together sometime next week, and as far as I can tell, if I go, I will probably end up going back to his place afterwards (but sans other girl).

I get a good feeling from this guy, and apart from the fact that he is very attractive, we can get on really well and I think could still be really amicable without any of the ´extras´ affecting our behaviour towards each other around other people. And this seems to be a good way to try the threesome thing - with people I get on well with, but with no serious attatchments.

However, I am not ENTIRELY comfortable with the whole thing, and although open to experimentation, haven´t completely made up my mind about it.

Thoughts on the matter would be appreciated! xx

    how do you know his girlfriend is actually up for this? Hes just cheating on her at the moment with you and youre quite happy to go along with it knowing full well he has a girlfriend. Nice!

    I know three people who have done this (not at once, but 3 seperate 3'somes) and all of them have said it was better in theory than in practice, especially if two of the three are partners, one normally gets left out.

    because she will be involved? Without her it wouldn't be a threesome?

    I'd say go for it too. Sex is like pizza, even if it's bad it's still quite good. Check out if your boy has any troubles with it, tho, if you your rlship isn't as open as an butthole after an cavity search from bud spencer.

    o shit my bus got to go.

    But she it would seem has no idea that he has been courting someone else on the side. By the sound of it he just wants to have an affair infront of his girlfriend, which is bound to end badly.

    this is all without the other girl being there at all

    Bingo, he's in a relationship so he shouldnt be playing around. If he AND his GF decide that they want a threesome and decide together who it should be with then that is totally different.

    I assumed she knows of course, but maybe it was all a clever ruse.

    I think it would be a good idea for you to meet his girlfriend alone, even if it's just for a coffee, because the dynamics of open relationships can be a little different when a couple is together than when they're apart. That way you can get a better idea of their relationship and get to know this woman better, than having to meet them for dinner straight away with the pressure knowing there could be more in the background.

    I'd perhaps be a little cautious of sleeping with this guy first alone, before even meeting his girlfriend. It would be very important to me to actually know whether I like these people both together and separately, whether their relationship is open or not.

    Update...

    0k, so she has known all along what was going on. They also have an open relationship, and it is more like fuck buddies for them than anything else. He has told her everything as it has happened, and gave me her email address. I have been talking to her online, and seriously questioned her as to her own thoughts on this. She seemed pretty adamant that this was as much her idea as his.

    I ended up hooking up with the guy last night, it was good fun, nice and casual, and i think that it could work well.

    BUT does anyone have any horror stories?

    BUT does anyone have any horror stories?

    Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
    Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
    As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
    `'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
    Only this, and nothing more.'

    Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
    And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
    Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
    From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
    For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
    Nameless here for evermore.

    What difference is it going to make knowing horror stories? There are always horror stories for every possible situation, including those which involve relationships with just two people in them.

    Personally, I would have asked to meet her in person before fooling around with her boyfriend. An email address/msn is just that, you don't know if the person is actually behind it. If she's fine with you getting physically involved with her boyfriend, then fine, but it strikes me as if you haven't really thought this through enough to only now be asking about situations where things have gone wrong etc.

    I don't like using the term, but as a 'secondary' person in the primary relationship, you really need to think long and hard about what your needs are, and if they're not being met by this couple, you need to make that clear. For instance, for me to be in that situation, I'd need to meet both the couple together and separately for my own reassurance and comfort. It's easy to be sucked into the novelty of, "Wow, they both want me for this, this and this," but you must think of what's important for you too.

    Aaaahhhhh. I dont think I have made myself quite clear. These guys aren't in a relationship. I would NEVER consider it if they were, I dont want to be the fucking piggy in the middle! When i said 'his current girl' I meant the girl that he is currently sleeping with. In fact he is currently sleeping with several girls, and this happens to be the one that would like to try a threesome.

    And it's not really going behind anyone's back. Both of the girls that he is sleeping with know about me, infact I met the other one last night, and we got on very well. Same goes for him - he has been introduced to the guy I have been seeing.

    When I talked to her on facebook it, we did decide to take a coffee together before I leave for London for a week. It's not like I'm jumping into anything. I've given myself a week away to decide between meeting her and talking to them both again, whether it is something I am interested in. The only thing is she leaves to work for an agency in Panama next month, and doesn't know when she'll be back, so there is a limited time period.

    Sorry if I haven't been clear about all of this, but I know that right now I am not 'going behind anyones back' because there is noone's back to go behind! All I wanted was some helpful advice, but now I'm more confused than ever, because, well, a lot of judgements are I got from some of you were negative, but not for the right reasons. But that might be my fault for not presenting all the facts...

    I don't think there's any 'might' about it, you certainly were not clear about the fact that it was him and someone he was sleeping with. People are going to get a tad confused when they see:
    seriously proposed that I have a threesome with him and his current girl. He suggested that I met up with his girlfriend
    These guys aren't in a relationship

    :chin:

    That aside, you're always going to get some negative responses about the nature of open relationships anyway, as most people are monogamous and it's difficult to comprehend different boundaries when you're in another paradigm completely. There are poly uk mailing lists out there for over 18s if you ever wanted to speak to more like minded people. Good luck and have fun.

    Sorry, my fault, I just thought what I was saying would be taken at face value, i.e she says she wants a threesome, therefore she does. I think that living in such a liberal city has got to me. Here if they say 'girlfriend' it's like 'someone I care about, and sleep with´ not ´my monogamous partner´. I dont think I know anyone who actually has a monogamous relationship here. The sun must have gone to our heads...

    I live in London but my girlfriend is my monogamous partner... Meh, that's beside the point.

    If you're entirely comfortable then go for it, but the very fact you're asking for advice and "horror stories" rings alarm bells for me; you don't seem all that sure.

    Thanks for the help. In the end I met up with the other girl, and she was very sweet and very beautiful, but in the end we decided there wasn't enough sexual chemistry between us, and weren't going to sleep together for our friend's benefit!

    I live in Barcelona. Not that there aren't any monogamous people here, it's just I haven't met any!

    it's not what it's cracked up to be. I had a threesome a few years ago with my friend and her bf and it all ended in tears they split up and have nothing to do with me know.
    Remember you work with this guy, are you going to feel comfortable with him afterwards? Take the advice of everyone and get to know both well and make sure it's what you all really want before it's to late.
