When people are looking to spice up their relationships, sometimes they invite a third partner into the mix. Whether it’s a long-term thing or just a one-off, having a threesome is an experience many people consider at some point. Some people love being the third in a threesome, which is often referred to as the “unicorn.” Some of these unicorns took to Reddit to open up about their experiences — the good, the bad … the ones that ended in vomit. Here are some of their stories:
I prefer being the unicorn.
“I loved my experiences I’ve been in both fmf and mfm. I’ve been the 3rd and in the established couple. For myself I prefer being the unicorn but that might have more to do with the ex-husband. When I’m the unicorn I sus out who in the couple wants this more and focus most of my attention on the other one. I figure the one who is the main driver is going to enjoy just being involved the other needs to be assured I’m not a scary monster person who is going to steal their partner.” –crimebuff101
It was all pretty hot.
“It was fun. I met a couple on tinder. She was kind of the leader and he was following along. Both were really hot. We got really drunk and went back to their place. I honestly couldn’t believe I was actually doing it. My first time with a woman. He was really really big so piv on me didn’t work out that great. He was 7 feet tall and I’m 5’3 so it was a bit awkward but in general it was all pretty hot.
Up until I got up to throw up all the tequila I drank. She was sweet and called me an Uber home. Then I got her a job at my work haha.” –HeyheyitsCAB
A good distraction from a bad breakup.
“Fantastic. Was dealing with a bad breakup with my 1st gf, I went on a date with a chick to distract myself, she told me she was actually in an open relationship, we got along well, and she offered to introduce me to her gf after a couple weeks. She was in the process of becoming a trainer and we would go to the gym together and she’d teach me weight training. Her gf was into esoteric stuff and yoga and we would all get stoned and she’d do readings. And then we would have some of the best sex of my life.
That was a good summer. 9/10 would recommend, docking a point because at the end her gf accused me of stealing her crystals after I helped them move into their new place.” –mixedwithmonet
I got blamed for the mess.
“The sex was great. The aftermath… Not so much. Their relationship almost didn’t survive, and I was stuck in the middle and blamed for a bunch of stuff. It was messy.” Performer-Objective
Sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s bad.
“I’ve never had a threesome where a pre-existing couple was involved. It’s always been three individual uncoupled people who just wanted to have a threesome.
As with sex in general, sometimes it’s great and sometimes it’s awkward/bad; really depends on chemistry as well as the various other factors that affect good vs. bad sex (communication skills of the people involved, energy levels, sexual compatibility, etc).” –celestialism
I felt like I was disappointing everyone.
“It was not for me. Complicated, one person was always “out,” we didn’t have a plan. Hard pass.
If I wanted to disappoint two people at the same time I should have had dinner with my parents.” –Lilmissgrits
It happened organically.
“Fun and a great time, it just randomly happened, it was when I still lived in Seoul so I finished work late and needed to redo my portfolio so I went directly to my photographer at that time house, his wife was there and since it was late on a weekend we just decided to first do a Korean bbq and drink, and then we started the photo shoot which was truly “childlike” cause we were drunk so the pictures was actually worth the memories lol then I don’t really remember how it happens but out of a sudden his wife was kissing me and well it led to doing it all night and jeez this was truly one of my favorite sexual experiences!” –Alternative_Sea_2036
I like taking a breather during these ‘sessions.’
“Done it a few times, with different couples. It’s fun for me! And I usually need to pee or take a breather through these ‘sessions’, so having multiple partners makes it easier to keep them in the mood while I slip away.
But a huge part to play is all the consent and boundaries given from each person. It can take hours to days to lay everything out and clear the air before we meet. That way everyone is always on the same page.
It’s definitely not for everyone, I just embrace being a unicorn.” –WildRide117
A sexy memory.
“Only once and such a good experience. My first time with a couple and I ended up being the leader. I honestly loved taking charge. We all had such a good night. I stayed and waking up between two people was amazing. I drank too much though and ended up vomiting in the morning – they drove me over an hour home so that I didn’t have to catch public transport whilst feeling unwell. So nice. We messaged each other after and I politely declined an offer to do it again, but will always be a sexy memory!” –jarsofeights
