Sexual Q & A: Round Two -- Threesomes

Lucky us. I was given the afternoon off. Now I'm going to go play, but I thought I'd get this out of the way.

All right, if you're just tuning in, last night I put forth the call for questions. I'm tackling them in the order they've come in. The original posting explaining the Q&A premise can be found by clicking here. The first question answered can be found by clicking here. They both directly preceed this posting, so you can just scroll down, if you like.

You got a question? Ask it in the comments, or drop me an email.

Tonight's topic? Menage a trois.

Now, I've posted QUITE A BIT in the last 2 or 3 days. Tonight & tomorrow? Nothing. Saturday, maybe. Maybe not. I'm on a quest for fun, fun, fun this weekend, and I want to "write" write, so we'll see what happens.

HERMES ASKS: Threesomes?

STEFF ANSWERS:

Oh, my. I've never really given threesomes a lot of thought. No guy I've been with has ever brought the topic up or asked if I'd be willing. So, I'm going to just run with my train of thought here. Bear with me.

So, have I? No.

Would I? I think so. Depends on the extra wheel.

The "extra wheel" stipulation brings us to the dilemma of two guys versus two girls... Which brings us firstly to the dilemma of anal.

I’ve done anal, not just once, and didn’t enjoy it (painful, awkward). Maybe it was the guy, I don’t know. I’d probably try it again in the future since my attitude towards things has been expanding quite a bit in the last year or so, if the right partner came along. I stress the latter. (It’s also a size-dependent issue, if you get my drift.)

But going at it with two guys would probably be better suited if I was a fan of anal. Given that I’m not, I don’t think I’d go that way. I once thought I’d be into two guys. I’m not sure when that shift occurred, but it did, and now I think otherwise, and have for a while now.

I think part of it might be the occasional male attitude towards sex. The fuck-me-hard, fuck-me-now, let-me-access-all-of-you bullshit that can wear thin. I'm not that kinda girl, not in plural, anyhow.

I have seldom ever heard a male account of a two-guys-one-gal threesome that didn't sound like it belonged in some pulp porn movie. It always winds up sounding like she's some whore who got fucked silly. Whatever turns your crank. It don't turn mine.

I'm not orgiastic about sex. I'm passionate, driven, curious, sensual, open, creative, and exploratory, and though I can be a dirty girl, it's not a defining characteristic of mine. I'm more mischevious, devilish, and playful than I am filthy, though I can talk dirty with the best of 'em (and do).

I haven't come to that point where I can reconcile with the idea of whoring myself in any kind of capacity that leaves me wishing I'd had more self-respect the next day. Maybe I will be able to reconcile that one day, but I'm not holding my breath.

So, for me, sex is very passionate, very emotional, very sensual, and not something I usually take lightly, which is why I'm not promiscuous. When I have sex, I am all there, all the time, and the notion of two guys fighting for my attention SHOULD excite me, but it perplexes me. I can’t shut off my laserlight focus that I bring to the bed. I can’t divide that between two men, and I'm pretty sure the one guy who gets to receive my affections probably doesn't want me to, knowing what he's in for.

Yeah, I just can't identify with two guys fucking me on one night. It just doesn’t do anything for me. Right now, anyhow. "As far as I know." And this is going on the stereotypical experience, as I described above.

HOWEVER... if I had all creative control? If I could orchestrate the night? If what I said went? If my boundaries were understood and respected? If I trusted both men implicitly? If it was a sensual experience and not just a sweaty fuckfest?

That could well be an entirely different scenario since I’m a VERY situation-specific kinda gal. Everything depends on the night, the mood, my edge or lack thereof. I’m known to be very, very, very spontaneous and mood-driven, and even my friends of 15 years will tell you I constantly surprise them. With me, you never know.

The right extra guy might be something I can’t pass up. I’m too fucking smart and too old to dismiss something out of hand without knowing the particulars. I mean, if I was in a relationship and J. passed me on the street, or B. or E. or J2 or one of the other great lovers I've had, I'd love to bring him home for a night of fun and games with a present lover, because I'd trust them and they would know where my boundaries lay. I guess that would be the breaking/making point.

Bringing a chick into the equation, yeah, actually, I’d be totally down with that. Tomorrow. Seriously. I'd be awkward and nervous at first, but I'm confident I'd overcome that quickly with the right duo. Women have a different mentality about sex -- or the ones I know, do. But it would depend on the chick, and I’m sorta specific about what kinda girl would get me riled.

As I posted recently, I’ve become very interested in having a female explore me, especially orally, and I’d be interested in a limited exploration in return. Honestly, I’d be kinda into having the guy watch her going down on me. That would really, really get me hot. The sex that would follow would probably be pretty incredible. God, the idea of it right now gets me bothered just thinking of it.

Hmm. Let me take a moment longer to think of that. Lovely. Nice. Yes, that I'd well be into. Sigh. Yep. Mm.

So, then, what do I really think of threesomes? (shrug) I don’t know. I’m on the fence. It can be an exciting diversion in a relationship, I’m sure. I wouldn’t ever want them to be a dominating aspect of my relationships. I love the part of sex where it’s all about exploring with my partner. My partner. Every now and then, to shake things up? Cool.

Now ask me what I think of swinging.

Did I answer that oh-so-very-vague question well enough for you, H?

And what do you folks have to say on the topic of threesomes?

Have you? Would you? What turns you on about it? What turns you off? When would be the right time? Is it the sign of things going awry in a serious, committed relationship? Can you in fact be seriously committed yet bring in outside sex for kicks without compromising the future of your relationship? Has it happened to you where you brought a third party in and had the relationship tank as a result?
