Unicorn

The term "unicorn" was first used to refer to a bisexual woman who would appear to satisfy your threesome fantasies and then disappear without upsetting your relationship. The phrase is less gendered now. Sometimes, people who like joining couples even embrace it with a little humor.

The ton" of personal advertising frequently overlooks the idea that these possible unicorns, or thirds, have wants and feelings of their own, which is why "unicorn hunting" has a poor reputation and why couples are occasionally referred to as unicorn hunters online.

MMF, FMF, MFM

The correspondence between these terminologies is apparent; the letters (m,f) indicate the person's sex, and the letter order starts to explain the configurations of persons sought—for instance, the degree of contact between the male participants between difference MMF and MFM.

Devil's Threesome

An MFM threesome is referred to as a "devil's" threesome" in slang. Determine which body the '80ss the two fingers represent by imagining that you are making the "devil horns" sign with your hand, similar to what you may see in the 80s rock performance.

Double Penetration (DP)

How about the devil's threesome? Double penetration is most commonly defined as when two penises simultaneously penetrate a woman, usually vaginally and anal. (Doing it vaginally and orally would be spit-roasting.) Despite the fact that this is a common fantasy, timing two erections can be challenging, and the logistics of positioning make it a little difficult to practice. It is still considered double penetration, though, if one or both penises are replaced with strap-ons or handheld sex devices.

Heteroflexible

When discussing threesomes, the term "bisexual" is most commonly used, but "heteroflexible" is becoming more and more popular. It portrays a predominantly heterosexual sexuality that is open to some same-sex experimentation. The term "homoflexible" may also be used.

Fluid Bonded

The phrase "fluid bonded" describes a couple that engages in sexual activity without protective barriers and is most frequently used in polyamory and open relationship groups. Although oral sex might just as quickly be referred to as fluid bonding, this word is most commonly used to describe penis-in-vagina intercourse. Some people disapprove of the term's usage since it implies a hierarchy in the relationship.

Whatever terminology you choose, it's critical to understand the safety procedures of the individuals you intend to have sex with.

Polyfidelity

Although this may seem contradictory, the concept of polyfidelity is that although several people are in the relationship, they don't play with anyone outside of their group or poly-clue. This could be a closed-group marriage, a foursome, a trio, closed-group swinging, or some other arrangement.

Triad

A three-person partnership is referred to as a trio. All three individuals are understood to be romantically and sexually linked with one another, regardless of their gender.

Cuckold & Cuckqueen

Originally used to describe the husband of an adulterous wife, the term "cuckold" has come to refer to the fetish in which the husband voluntarily participates in this relationship. The husband is usually in the room to witness his wife with another man, though occasionally, there are also aspects of humiliation. The gender-swapped variant of the same situation is called "cuckqueen."

Voyeurism

Getting sexual pleasure from witnessing others engage in sexual activity is known as voyeurism. This is a pretty widespread obsession that isn't just used by threesomes!

Exhibitionism

Having other people watch you have sex or getting sexual pleasure from flaunting yourself are examples of exhibitionism. Once more, this phrase isn't just for threesomes, and it's entertaining to many individuals in one way or another.

Dental Dams & Gloves

You must be more cautious while having safer sex chats with more people in the bed. You should be careful with your hands and mouth and consider where you've been before touching or kissing someone if everyone doesn't want to share fluids.

Contraceptives are well recognized for penetrating sex—and yes, blow jobs as well!—but their cousin, the dental dam, isn't given enough attention. Before engaging in oral sex, the vulva is covered with a dental dam, which is a swatch of latex or polyurethane. If you don't have one, you can also make your own by cutting the tip of a condom lengthwise. You can even construct one out of a nitrile or latex glove, even leaving the thumb hole open for your tongue.

Speaking of gloves, they are fantastic for many reasons, even if you might not consider them a typical safer sex accessory. They're great in a threesome since you can switch gloves between partners without worrying about switching fluids, or you can color-code each hand with a different type of glove to help you remember which hand belongs to whom. By switching gloves between acts, they can also assist in avoiding cross-contamination between vaginal and anal activity.

Threesomes can be a huge thrill and are a common fantasy. However, threesomes have their lingo, just like any other kind of sex play. We hope you now dare to embark on a three-way adventure if you're new to threesomes. Maybe you've learned a little bit more if you've played in a threesome before.
