Ménage à trois? Honey's Guide to a Happy and Successful Threesome

Communication, Communication, Communication Opening up a relationship to a third party can be an exciting fantasy come true, but in reality it can either be as fantastic as you imagined or a complete disaster. The most important thing is to make sure you and your partner have discussed and communicated your desires, wants and rules for opening your sensual playground to others. Throwing your inhibitions to the wind and just letting things happen can be exciting but the unfortunate result of a lack of communication and forethought could be the beginning of the end of your relationship. So here are a few thoughts to discuss before entering the world of threesomes:

1. Jealousy: What is jealousy to you? Even the most open an honest of couples can feel jealous, and introducing a third party can often add fuel to the fire. Feelings of inadequacy, insecurity, fears of abandonment or of being rejected are all causes or reactions to the feeling of jealousy. Thus communication is important so you can discuss your feelings and try to resolve any issues that may arise beforehand so that you will be able to enjoy your threesome completely without unnecessary worry about your partner's interest in the other person.

2. Rules: Setting ground rules before you actually participate in this fantasy is always a good idea. If you and your partner are otherwise monogamous and usually do use condoms then it is a good idea to make sure that when in the threesomes there are condoms and safety measures used. Setting up the rules beforehand can help stop any uncomfortable decisions during your play time. Also it is a good idea to communicate anything of which you would be uncomfortable sharing with the third person (kissing, penetration …etc), because you either want that to be special for just the two of you, or you're concerned for heath reasons, whatever the case may be it is a good idea to know where to draw the line.

3. That Third Person: Depending on your comfort level with choosing a person you can decide to pick someone you know, or find someone through acquaintances or online.
With someone you know: Whether a close friend or someone who you are in communication with on a regular basis can be rewarding, it can prove to have its challenges too. You could find yourself jealous because your friendship with this person has shifted, or if the communication and friendship has been established it could be very rewarding to open up your two-some to a three-some with someone you know and love. It can be trickier so communication is even more important amongst you, your partner and friend.
Acquaintances or Online: Finding someone with whom you have not been intimately acquainted with through online sites or friends of friends can often be easier emotionally on you and your partner. There can be less emotional entanglements for everyone involved and can be easier to terminate the relationship if it is not working for you because you are not concerned about also loosing their friendship. One of the downsides to this arrangement is that sometimes you can find someone and they may not be compatible or other issues arise from not knowing them well. Make sure to have a good screening process in place and take tests for safety measures as well if you are planning in advance.

4. Safety: When leaving the relative safety of a monogamous relationship you must concern yourself with health issues such as STD testing and preventative measures. Always use a condom if you are sharing fluids with the third party, unless the three of you are monogamous only to each other and have all been tested for STD's and HIV. Also, with HIV you must wait for usually 6 months and then get tested again because certain antibodies may not show up right away, so if you're wishing to go the non-barrier method be sure to use a barrier for those 6 months before everyone gets tested again. Also barrier methods prevent unwanted pregnancies.

Many cock rings also hold a bullet for dual stimulation. These popular toys come in a range of materials and styles and are an enjoyable way of introducing more toys into your repertoire.

Traditional Cock Rings: Cock rings can become as elaborate or simple as you choose. The traditional silicone or leather cock rings are designed to slip around the base of the penis, or around the base of the penis and testicles to help maintain a harder and longer lasting erection. The snug fit also helps to give men a stronger and more intense orgasm. Rings made of silicone or rubber such as the Mega Stretch Silicone Ring or Erection Lasso have a large amount of stretch to them allowing them to easily accommodate most sizes comfortably while still providing enough tension.

Remember: Safety First. Cock rings do have a time limit, we recommend removing them after 30 minutes of use to make sure you are not reducing blood flow to the penile tissue for an extended period of time. Also make sure to clean your cock rings with warm water and soap to make sure it's all clean and ready for you next go round.

Other toys such as the Betty Jo Dual Vibrator slip around the penis with an area for two bullets- one above and one below with a larger silicone cock ring to give your partner a strong clitoral stimulator.

The Low Down on Going Down

We have outlined some very useful tips and techniques to help you take her to new heights of sexual pleasure so you can go down and have fun!

1. Position. Make sure both of you are comfortable. Use pillows beneath your knees if she is standing up so that you won’t be paying more attention to your aching knees than her sexual pleasure.

2. Technique. Don’t just pull of her panties, take it slow, maybe tease through the fabric and tease and tantalize. Make sure you make an effort to relax your tongue as you don’t want it too stiff and pointed, especially in the beginning when it is nice to warm up with broader strokes. An especially great tongue technique is the figure eight, by moving your tongue around more sensitive areas and not just the clitoris you can really rev her engine. Be sure to vary your strokes, fast to slow, firm to gentle, zigzag your tongue and watch her body language because she will let you know which of those she likes best.

3. Lubes and Vibes. Sometimes it is fun to add a small vibrator such as the finger fun or the 5x Finger Vibe to your oral play, these small vibrators can help you bring her to intense orgasms.
