I think threesomes are truly the most unimaginative fantasy. At least go for four!!!

I've known some people that were in polyamorous relationships. It's tricky, but I think it's manageable. If there are already problems there (and not just the day-to-day problems that people have in couples, but deeper issues) and they aren't being dealt with, then bringing another person in will only exacerbate it. I'm most interested in unconventional relationships, so I think this is an interesting topic. I'd love to hear more from people that have experience with these kinds of relationships, whether they worked out or not. So feel free to share in the comments below. Or to email me.

i used to listen to 'loveline' on a regular basis. as a result, i'm instantly leery of threesomes. seemed like whenever someone called up asking questions about them or relaying their experience, the relationship that started the whole thing didn't last. i s'pose it's not so bad if the beginning relationship is mostly sex-based, but like thales said, there can't help but be feelings somehow.

why oh why is Chicagoist becoming a relationship/sex/lifestyle advice columnist?? I like the idea that the voice of this site is 'chicagoist' -- even when it fails to get it completely right. Thales' answer might have been good, but it was Thales' answer and it was a question better asked of Dan Savage or Amy (gag) dickensen or somebody. just my two cents.

nice answer, thales! i have to say that i have never participated in a threesome, but people i know who claim to have 'open' relationships are often people who are just using the term to sleep around with other people, and that just like the theory that one person is always just slightly more into one another, one person really isn't so much into the 'open' relationship. triangles of any kind always seem super dangerous (even three friends who always hang out) to me.

I can't help but wonder why this person thought "How do I go about this? I should ask Chicagoist!"
