NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
MEL Magazine covers sex, relationships, health, money and culture from a male point of view — even though we’re not all male (and aren’t always sure what that means). We value the stories that no one is hearing, the perspectives that no one is considering and the people that no one knows. Founded in 2015 in L.A. by Dollar Shave Club.
This Article: "The Taboo of The Devils Threesome" Speaks to breaking the stigma around the growing desirable MMF ( vs. MFF) threesome that we are all about here on SSGSelect.com !
...."And perhaps most importantly, is it possible for a man to give a threesome with another guy to his girlfriend as an experiential gift they might both enjoy, like pottery lessons or a ride in a hot air balloon?"
......These are cute ideas, but a much simpler explanation considers the fact that potential male-male sexual contact is anathema to heteronormativity. Thou shalt not let balls touch, so the commandment goes, lest thou fall from the grace of heterosexuality. Whereas performances of lesbian sexuality can be marshaled for the enjoyment of hetero guys, gay male sex offers no such pleasure. Not only that, the presence of another dude — entailing the presence of another dick — can be threatening. Unless you’re a diehard cuck who’s successfully eroticized that threat, the Devil’s Threesome is likely an unappealing prospect.
And yet, it’s a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of a good dick must be in want of a second. Among my hetero and bisexual women friends, being the base of an Eiffel Tower is a frequently discussed fantasy. Running with the symbolic etymology theory of the Devil’s Threesome, these women want nothing more than to mess with the bull(s) and subsequently get the horns.
Sadly, many of these women go unfulfilled (and unfilled) because of the difficulties of setting up an MMF threesome. Since time immemorial, girlfriends everywhere have assented to threesomes with another woman, but it seems much rarer for male partners to do the same. And make no mistake, I don’t think anyone, regardless of sex, should feel compelled to agree to sexual misadventures simply to please their partner. But it does seem that much like housework, there continues to be an inequitable distribution of threesomes among the sexes.
Amid this landscape, though, there are noble souls pushing through the personal and social barriers involved. As you might expect, some among them are bisexual, gay or queer — yet many of them are not. This raises a number of questions: What do men get out of these encounters? How do they affect their self-conceptions?
