Threesome Advice
Dear Dyke Whisperer, Ever since The L Word depicted a threesome, my girlfriend of four years has been saying she wants to try it. She’s even picked out two possible “candidates.” At first, I was shocked and hurt, but there is a part of me that wonders what it would be like. Have you any words of wisdom for me?

Dear Patti,
There are three simple guidelines to follow, the Threesome Three:
-
Unless group sex was intended and agreed upon at the beginning of a relationship, threesomes tend to be the source of heartache and shattered self-esteem, as the non-couple party receives too much attention and, instantaneously, a new twosome forms.
-
If you want to try it, be the third party — NOT one of the two in a couple (if a couple is involved). Engaging in group sex as a member of a couple will temporarily spark your love life, right before causing a whirlwind of drama and the end of your relationship. Get in (pun intended); get out; boast to friends; move on.
-
Start looking for a new girlfriend.
