Threesome Dating
A writer describes dating as a "triad," a polyamorous group of three.
Tango has a lot of content about open relationships, but here's an angle we haven't explored: the perspective of a woman dating a couple. In this essay on The Frisky, 27-year-old Anya describes dating as a triad, and touches on some core polyamory issues.
- The good (threesome dating): "It was easy and natural and we had such a good time! There was twice the energy and convenience of a normal relationship. We all had a lot going on, but when one of us was busy, the other two were still able to spend time together. Jealousy just wasn't there. We didn't have to ration out love. It multiplied."
- The difficult (dealing with other people): "It really sucked that we couldn't be too open or affectionate without inviting gossip and discrimination; the general populace isn't used to seeing three people holding hands at the movie theater."
- The risks and rewards of "coming out": "My sister shocked me by being delighted with yet another opportunity from Auntie Anya to teach her seven-year-old daughter that people live all sorts of different ways, and that happiness is where you find it and can't be defined in rigid terms."
- Her views on polyamory: "What we have in common [with other polyamorists] is the idea that it is okay to openly and honestly love more than one person at the same time, and that we are free to create our own relationship rules to fit the people in them. The most important thing is communication."

WOW...... I so understand, we just joined a threesome thing ,everthing is so great and she means so much and she is very improtant to us. The hard part is you want to tell the world , but you can`t , some people just don`t understand.
A few other things we worried about , taking all her time for ourselfs. its really not fair to her to ask her not to see anyone else......but she likes whats going on SO ? so you know taking all her time is a very big concern of ours. because we are Professional couple and we know how time burns away and before you know it your in a classic stage or just old according to others. lol
we both work in and office as corp. managers and have been married 27 years and we are happy at this time in our lives. Still a few people who know(found out by being nosie) about our relashionship.....so i'm just hoping that they keep their mouth closed. ok well....if they don`t then we together will work through it.
