Threesomes: A User's Guide
How to (really) manage a ménage a trois.
So if you and your partner are truly ready to share your sex life with another person, there are potential collaborators everywhere—that is, if you make rules that will keep everyone happy and satisfied. That said, coworkers should probably stay a fantasy—no matter how hot the office manager is. Are Sex Parties The New Vibrator?
Whether you're interested in men or women or both, it's vital that everyone involved—including the easy-to-overlook third person—be comfortable with each other. When you’re ready to find a partner, you can go about it in any number of ways.
There are polyamory clubs all over the world; try googling "polyamory munch," which sounds filthy but is actually a nonsexual gathering in which groups of people meet to discuss their interests and find potential partners. However, while many people recommend that the third person be a virtual stranger, the right friend can be an ideal partner as well.

"Hollywood rarely depicts sex accurately"
Tell me about it. The article is about managing a threesome, but the photograph shows four people.
Phhhhhhhhht.
For the most part, I liked this article and I found it to be quite openminded. But I was bothered by the suggestion that someone looking for a purely-sexual, (most likely) one-time-only hook-up should seek this within the polyamory community. There most certainly are poly folk who are interested in casual sex, but as a whole, this is not what polyamory is about. Polyamory is about having multiple romantic relationships, not just multiple sexual partners. A couple seeking a stranger for a threesome would do better to check out a local swingers group or even Craigslist.
