Once in a fantasies conversation, my college boyfriend said he wanted to have a two women threesome. "Okay," I said, "Right after we have sex with another guy." He declined.
Wait, I have competition! An otherwise intelligent friend of mine once complained about the ambulance noise in her Battery Park City neighborhood. "Don't they know this is a residential area?" she asked. "Can't they take another route?"
two guys together could easily overpower a girl so that would be unsafe for the female participant.
This is the best bit. "There will be absolutely no sex, unless the participants can be divided into equally matched single-sex combat teams. Large, strong ,women, may have sex with one man at a time: all other women, pair up and discuss tactics!"
My thoughts exactly. It was at that point I thought "Boy, am I glad you don't know that I blog because I am SO making fun of your ass on it for that comment."
This is the reason you have to be very careful having the threesome fantasy conversation--it quickly leads to awkward places where you either end up saying incredibly stupid things like this or you have to admit that yes, I am a selfish pig who is only concerned about his own pleasure.
Not exactly relevant, but I've had two interesting conversations with women who have had exeperienece with male-male-female three ways. One said she only liked it when the guys were very gay, and spent a lot of time with each other, because otherwise she felt double teamed. The other woman said that she only liked male-male-female threesomes when the guys were very straight, because she wanted to feel double teamed.
14: Straight from the TMI department - I was thinking hallucinogens, ecstasy, and meth, actually. It's worked out okay on alcohol and weed, but nowhere near my sweet, fevered imagination.
Maybe, though the two concerns are related. Even more, I think it's a sexual jealousy thing with a strong double standard thrown in. But yes, many complicated reactions.
The Feminist had also never considered that the two girls in a 2F+M threesome might want to, you know, actually have sex with each other at some point and not spend the entire evening servicing him.
The Feminist might be a follower of pr0n, in which I'm told 2M+F encounters often have nothing to do with teh ghey but a lot to do with humiliating the woman.
He might be able to overpower them while they were distracted.
Which Pink Panther movie is it where Clouseau has instructed his Korean valet to unexpectedly attack him for training purposes? I'm picturing the threesome sort of like that.
19 there is a MMF porno marketed to the gay men that does not humiliate the woman and is pretty f$%^ing gay. I have found that such representations are not without their attractions.
The power relations are more easily handled when one participant is an inflatable doll. There is, AFAIK, a distinct lack of variety in male dolls, but perhaps one could dress up a Sybian.
I haven't read the whole thread, and I (obviously) agree that the "feminist" thing is idiotic, but I can sort of see where he's coming from. I'm not a threesome sort, but I'd be more uncomfortable with two guys and a woman than the reverse. Probably part of it is teh gay, but part of it really is that groups of guys + sex really make me nervous. See prior discussions of strippers at bachelor parties.
The original guy's comment is dumb given who it's coming from but it totally makes sense, given that these things tend to happen when all of the participants are less than sober, for a woman to worry about the power dynamics when there are two guys involved.
It makes it a lot harder to say no if one party or other comes to have second thoughts.
That said, the guy totally sounds like he is just worried about catching ghey cooties.
In fact, I would be willing to bet up to 25¢ that although certainly people have conceived of doing a porn performance of the kind I have delineated, no one in fact has succeeded in doing so.
The geometry of threesomes must be extremely carefully calculated along with emotional and physical risk factors. One cannot make such a thing happen; one allows fate to provide it, much like the aligning of planets. At least, if one cares about those involved. And, if one has a long guilty streak. But when those planets align, it is your life's duty to make it count.
I only skimmed the thread quickly, but I didn't notice any guys fessing up to mmw preferences. Is it time for me to start pretending that of course the thought doesn't make me hot and bothered?
Oh yeah, I totally can't understand why anyone would be into that mmf stuff. It's just bizarre. But I would say that, wouldn't I? I am a feminist after all.
The longer I ponder this, the sillier it gets. I'm a fairly burly 200-pound guy. But adult women aren't five-year-olds. Working in coordination, two 130-pound women could overpower me—particularly with my testicles exposed. I mean, really.
Besides, any women I've known well enough to have a threesome with wouldn't have to say "I'm not comfortable with this" twice because, well, I know them. Very, very well, obviously.
Besides, any women I've known well enough to have a threesome with wouldn't have to say "I'm not comfortable with this" twice because, well, I know them.
I think this is the key, Apo. If threesomes are a real possibility for you then there's probably a rough guide to how it happens, and happens safely, that you know or can sort out. In which case - more the merrier, or whatever would be appropriate.
But if threesomes seem unlikely to be in your future (me), it seems like the sort of thing that happens when everyone gets drunk and flirty, and no one's thinking too clearly, etc. In which case, you worry.
You should really wear a condom -- withdrawal is not reliable for birth control and provides no disease protection.
One of the first porn movies I saw (trip to Montreal as a 16-year-old, very excited to be able to go illicitly into bars, strip joints and porn theaters, so much so that I totally neglected acquainting myself with the city) was a mmf scenario with one of the men "in the middle" instead of, as you might expect, the woman. That was very exciting and I have never since seen a porn movie with a similar scenario. The standard porn mmf scenario is arousing but not to anything like the same degree.
Dang. I am way late in on this one. Threesomes are tough, no matter how you slice em. I'm an F, and partial to the MMF, because I like a lot of cock. But if I'm in a serious relationship, I don't mind another girl.
But the math gets way easier, if the numbers go up.

And speaking of screen names, might I suggest we use 2M+F or some alternate non-screenname-resembling shorthand for that particular threesome permutaton out of respect for our Paris-dwelling co-commentor?

i found this thread a little late, am feeling a little schizophrenic reading it!
alas (as the case may be) I don't know french philosophers or associations of the SCMT sort. one of my favorite french philosophers is known to have said in print that his favorite form of pleasure was being fisted in the rear while on PCP. (i know: PCP?) but he died in the 1980s so he is not around anymore.
Isn't he the guy somebodyJackmormon asked Tia about catching HIV in a San Francisco bathhouse, back when we were playing that weird 20 questions variant?
Oh and BTW -- Hilzoy links to this beautiful entry at Chaucerblog: "And oure bloode was hotte for werre – & eke, as eftsoones we lernede, for othir thynges."
it's kind of interesting given what he wrote about how we're encouraged in modern culture to "confess" our sexuality, talk about it, turn it into an "identity."
he also used to demonstrate in favor of better conditions for prisoners - which, if you think about his prisons and madness books, is really great.
But maybe that totally lame-o feminist line actually worked, somwhere, sometime.
I know, I know, shudder at the thought an all, but haven't we all--at one time or another--seen a mind-bogglingly stupid line work in the most improbable circumstances? This could be another one. For all we know, the object of our scorn is positively rolling in hott ffmness...
The two women who were the other women in a couple of silly orgies I had when I was young have remained some of my closest friends, and I do think our friendship has a lot to do with having stripped it down to that level, as it were.
One of these friends, within a year after our good experiences, went with the guy involved in her and my FMF hookup into a MFM hookup and came out of it feeling very bad for reasons she couldn't exactly articulate. This was a very intelligent, very logical, very honest, very sexy woman.
So my personal experiences with This Sort of Thing tend to bear out Becks's friend's observations. If I knew more people who'd had wonderful experiences in MFM hookups, my anecdota would be different. Maybe those people aren't telling me about their wonderful expereriences.
But maybe that totally lame-o feminist line actually worked, somwhere, sometime. . . . For all we know, the object of our scorn is positively rolling in hott ffmness...
How hot can it be when both the women are really dumb?

While your theory is intriguing, SCMT, it is not supported by the data.

might I suggest we use 2M+F
Shouldn't we also distinguish between MFM and MMF, geometry-wise?
Thanks for the advice, Modesto. That would get me into even more trouble.

Where angles fear to tread.

FFF + 3FFM + 3FMM + MMM = (F + M)**3

I don't think it really matters what we call it, so long as it's clear that we're united in our disapproval.

In this life you will never see anything that good again
So ya sayin', the only thing for it is to martyr myself in jihad in hopes of something better in the next one?

i found this thread a little late, am feeling a little schizophrenic reading it!
alas (as the case may be) I don't know french philosophers or associations of the SCMT sort. one of my favorite french philosophers is known to have said in print that his favorite form of pleasure was being fisted in the rear while on PCP. (i know: PCP?) but he died in the 1980s so he is not around anymore.
that was foucault if you were wondering.

being fisted in the rear while on PCP
Well shucks, who doesn't like that?

being fisted in the rear while on PCP ... that was foucault
Some clarification for the ignorant, please: is this serious? I'd really like to know.

Oh, my goodness -- I'm sorry. Missed that the first time around.

yep, Urple - it was in an interview.
it's kind of interesting given what he wrote about how we're encouraged in modern culture to "confess" our sexuality, talk about it, turn it into an "identity."
he also used to demonstrate in favor of better conditions for prisoners - which, if you think about his prisons and madness books, is really great.

But maybe that totally lame-o feminist line actually worked, somwhere, sometime.
I know, I know, shudder at the thought an all, but haven't we all--at one time or another--seen a mind-bogglingly stupid line work in the most improbable circumstances? This could be another one. For all we know, the object of our scorn is positively rolling in hott ffmness...

Ok, so the "I'm a feminist" guy is lame, but...
The two women who were the other women in a couple of silly orgies I had when I was young have remained some of my closest friends, and I do think our friendship has a lot to do with having stripped it down to that level, as it were.
One of these friends, within a year after our good experiences, went with the guy involved in her and my FMF hookup into a MFM hookup and came out of it feeling very bad for reasons she couldn't exactly articulate. This was a very intelligent, very logical, very honest, very sexy woman.
So my personal experiences with This Sort of Thing tend to bear out Becks's friend's observations. If I knew more people who'd had wonderful experiences in MFM hookups, my anecdota would be different. Maybe those people aren't telling me about their wonderful expereriences.

My buddy and I had tons of wonderful experiences, but we had to change bitches frequently.

How hot can it be when both the women are really dumb?
Don't answer that. It's a rhetorical question.

From what The Feminist told me, the "hott FFMness" was, at the time of our conversation, still an unrealized fantasy.
Posted by Becks | Link to this comment | 03-19-06 8:02 PM
Was he discussing it with you as a venue to realizing the fantasy?
