Deciding you want to have a threesome, whether as a couple or an individual, is a huge decision to make. You probably have certain expectations, a tonne of questions, and also some slight nerves. If you’ve never had a threesome before, here are some things to expect that you may not have considered.

Mutual Agreement Is Important
Like any sexual act, an explicit, mutual agreement and consent between all parties is super important. It’s also wise to make sure you pick your partners carefully. The last thing you want is to try out a threesome with people you don’t feel comfortable with, or on the other hand, people that are too close for comfort.

Expect Awkwardness
Especially as it’s your first time, expect there to be lots of nervous laughter and potential awkwardness, to begin with. It can take time for you to get entirely comfortable, but try not to take yourself too seriously and just enjoy the moment.

Be Prepared For Things To Be Out Of Sync
It can be tricky enough to get yourself and your partner to both have an orgasm during sex, never mind simultaneously, and with a third person involved. Expect that this can take even longer than usual. You will have to come up with some sort of roles that you can each play to ensure that everyone is equally satisfied.

You Might Get Jealous
If you’re usually a jealous person, a threesome probably isn’t the best idea anyway. Still, you may think you don’t have jealousy issues until you go ahead with a threesome. It is a strange dynamic to get used to, especially for the first time, so it can be normal to feel jealous or left out during the process. You must discuss the arrangement with everyone involved beforehand to prevent this from happening. It’s supposed to be fun for everyone, so it’s only fair that you each get out of it what you want.
