The topic of threesomes, or group sex at-large, is a tricky one. Some people cannot get enough of playing with more than one partner, while other people swear up and down that threesomes are harmful to any relationship, or are a lot of work. While no one could argue that paying attention to two other penises than one can be difficult, threesomes can be instrumental in exploring your sexuality.

When it comes to trying out a threesome, one of the most important things to remember is that three people being involved means that there are three different sets of rules, wants, turn-ons, turn-offs and goals involved, and it is important to make these clear to everyone before anyone undresses.
If you're willing to put conventions aside and try out a threesome, here are three of the ultimate benefits of trying one out.

Says anyone who has ever had fun, ever. Sure, monogamy is amazing and certainly works for a lot of people, but as animals we're not totally designed to be satisfied with the same-ole for the rest of our entire lives. While we're in no way suggesting stepping out of the rules of your current agreement when it comes to monogamy, we're pointing out how much fun it can be to try new things.

A threesome allows you to satisfy your curiosity of sleeping with someone else while having your partner involved in a fun and sexy way. With no one being left out, and no one having to go behind anyone's back, everyone involved can try out a new partner and a new experience.
Touching other people naked is fun, point blank, so allow yourself to enjoy taking a break from your regular and recharge your interest in your sex life.
Open Communication

If you've ever been shy about your wants and needs and desires, there is no room for that in a threesome. Think of threesomes this way: if you had three people all trying to build an elaborate piece of furniture, you'd all need to communicate and figure out how to best help each other reach the end-goal. In threesomes that end-goal is everyone being covered in each other's cum.

Threesomes can teach you a lot about communicating with yourself and your partners. Even if you've been having sex with the same person for years, you can pick up on new tricks from hearing how they speak to other partners-- maybe you'll even find out something about their likes and dislikes you never knew.
Ultimately, threesomes are great at building up your ability to convey what feels good and what you don't like, which is a key ingredient in any sexual relationship. It also is an opportunity to have clear boundaries with your partner on how you'd like them to act in a group sex setting. When everyone understands what is going on, there are far fewer opportunities for someone to feel left out or hurt.

You know what threesomes do? Push you outside of your comfort zone in all aspects. You know what else can do that? Mob mentality. Essentially if someone in a threesome wants to try something a little weird or funky, you feel safe saying yes if the third in the group also is down to try.

Given the fact that threesomes are already out of the norm when it comes to what we consider vanilla-sex, we're more open to push the boundaries even further in situations. Maybe you've always wanted to try water-sports and within the sexual freedom of a threesome, you're finally willing to give it a try.
