Ok, so today I was asked if I'd like to be a third in a couple... via e-mail...with people I haven't met yet...
so I'm a little curious (and cautious)....
I've agreed to at least meet them and get a feel for the whole thing, but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience...

Re: Question about couples
Thu, November 11, 2004 - 1:36 AMi did the couple thing once, but i as friends with both of them for some time before doing so....
i'd be wary since they've never even met you.....they may be into some really weird kinky (in a bad way) shit and don't want to worry about ppl they know...you know what i'm sayin'?

Re: Question about couples
Thu, November 11, 2004 - 11:29 AMI've been the third several times; and, it was always great! But, I was friends with them first. And, we were all extremely comfortable with and attracted to each other.
A long time ago (in a galaxy far far away) I had a boy friend that would try to set us up in three and four-somes. I always felt so uncomfortable at the "getting to know each other" event.
It was always assumed that I would say yes. So when I'd say no because it didn't feel right, they'd make me so feel so guilty. It was awful.
So now I'm very picky about the situations in which I put myself. I prefer to have more informal "getting to know each other" periods. Then, if something happens, it happens and it's great. And, if it doesn't happen, no big deal.
Just be careful, Sinatra. And, never feel guilty for saying no if it doesn't feel right or comfortable.
LOVE YOU!! -

Re: Question about couples
Mon, March 28, 2005 - 12:13 PMHeather has given you some sound advice.
I have joined couples both M-F and F-F and have had good experiences. There has also been a less than positive experience. Now I am in a couple and that could be a good thing from the other side. If that were to happen avoiding pressure both for the third and us would be important to me. Everyone needs to be comfortable and feel good about it.
My interests today also include the possibility of a relationship with a woman that respects my present relationship. While sharing with both would be nice, some feminine time is a good idea to me as well. In this I do not exclude an intimate relationship that does not include sexuality with my male partner. Yet, even in an exclusively femine arrangement I would want that woman to be open to my present partner as a friend and not just that attachment at home. I would want both to be aware of and have respect for each other. -

Thu, March 31, 2005 - 7:30 PMi play with people from time to time and couples often have a stability about them that more random threesomes do not...but with any sexual encounter with people you don't know that well, keep your heart open to new experiences, but your eyes open for danger flags.
