Marriage

[edit]

I'm uncomfortable with the first paragraph talking about threesomes in the context of marriage. Particulary this statement: "In most cases it is a one time act by a married couple with a third partner, and not intended to be carried on further" I don't think there is any basis for saying that it is more commonly practiced by married couples or that it is intended to be a one event. Anyone have any evidence of that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gwendelen (talkcontribs) 17:50, 14 December 2006

british?

[edit]

i have rarely heard this described as "threesome" in the US; it is usually three WAY here.

term needs to be added, with some clarification as to which countries use which. 2601:19C:527F:A660:BC4B:A053:6ADC:8BE9 (talk) 06:21, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. Find a source that backs up this claim and make the edit yourself. Moops T 06:28, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
i dunno where i'd even look for this, but when i googled, the first comment i saw on reddit said "a 3-some is golf; a 3-way is sex". lol. pretty close to my (US) experience.
there's a few discussions on stackexchange and wordreference about this, suggesting, indeed, BrE vs AmE, but i don't think either of those are considered RS. (besides, they got totally sidetracked by "ménage à trois", which many of us use as a synonym for 3-way.) 2601:19C:527F:A660:D94A:ECD9:C37E:3734 (talk) 09:53, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removed from Casual sex category

[edit]

People can have threesomes as casual sex, but I do not see it as an intrinsic part of the act. It could be present in polyamory or polygamy and be quite uncasual, so removing the category. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 05:35, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
