Talk:Threesome

[edit] unsigned
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?
[edit] Ménage à trois
It's a French phrase who use has been co-opted to refer to a sexual threesome. After the first paragraph, everything in the article refered to sex, what the emotional requirements of such a relationship are, etc. Everything in this article refers to threesomes and so better belongs here, rather than co-opting that discussion.

[edit] Octupi picture
I'm not sure what the octupi picture is doing here - most of the other links to the picture are of non-con or bestial sexual acts. No where else on the page does it discuss anything related to the picture. It seems rather startling to go from discussing jealousy in a three-way relationship to a painting of bestiality.

[edit] Terrible, biased and not about threesomes
I don't quite know where to begin. This article containes virtually nothing about the actual act itself - fails to present a balanced argument on the pros and cons - fails to place the activity in its social or historical context and appears to have more to say on polyamorous relationships than on threesomes themselves - does not take account of threesomes that take place outside of established relationships.
Most of it is actually off topic. A threesome is not a type of relationship, it is a type of sexual activity, and this article does not clearly represent the distinction. --JamesTheNumberless 14:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] merging?
why is not this article merged with Gang bang? It is more or less about the same thing.. --Have a nice day. Running 19:14, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Poor at best
This article is bad for so many reasons! Would anyone have a problem with me editing the heck out of this? I mean, if it doesn't work out, then so be it, you guys can cut and snip what you like, but I think searching "threesome" and getting this article reflects poorly on Wikipedia to be frank. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rapanacc (talk • contribs) 13:41, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Editing by me
I have edited the bad bits out of this article. I have also more properly classified threesome as an intimate act, as nonreproductive relations, especially involving three people are not necessarily and are very rarely sexual in the most accurate sense. Karla Lindstrom 04:53, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] merge discuss
I'm not really in favor of a merge because while this article is definitely more stub than anything, the Ménage à trois article talks more about the relationship aspects; an ongoing relationship of three people is rather different than three people having sex, since we already have two separate articles for these two separate concepts, it makes sense to me to keep it that way, and work to improve this article. -- Akb4 (talk) 01:02, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with Akb4. Pavel Vozenilek (talk) 12:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] This is much improved
Thanking whoever did this. I am still for the use of intimacy, as to me sexual seems to be mechanical and biological, but this is fine. Karla Lindstrom 00:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
