‘I’m a Non-Monogamous Therapist, Here Are My 4 Tips For Open Relationships’
“Three is an awkward number. I can’t tell you the number of couples who want a threesome and are really excited about it, and then it doesn’t go well because one person feels left out. On Open House: The Great Sex Experiment I worked with one couple who had a threesome and the two women were really focused on each other. The male partner in the relationship didn’t know how to communicate to get involved. You see in the show that it resulted in a major blow out. They came and saw me and we talked about why they didn’t communicate during the situation. Having sex doesn’t mean you don’t talk. We talked about how to communicate and what to communicate about. I asked if they had talked about what they wanted before getting into bed? The answer was no. It seems really simple but these are the things people miss. The second time this couple and a third woman talked about what they wanted beforehand and during, and everybody had a wonderful time.”
