Book Reviews of The Threesome Handbook: A Practical Guide to SLEEPING WITH THREE

Book Review: Good Advice . . And Great Positions!
Summary: 5 Stars

Of the numerous `threesome' books which appear to be crowding the market right now, this one is easily my favorite.

It doesn't have a lot of pretty four-color photos. (In fact, it doesn't have any.) But it does contain a lot of good, solid advice on how to make one's threesome musings a reality.

Fantasizing about threesomes is the very first topic, and the tome starts off with a few lurid tales to get one's juices flowing.

The first half of the book basically assumes that the desire is real (and valid) and proceeds to provide helpful tips on how to deal with the emotional side of having a threesome - such as how to communicate one's desires (to one's partner or `third wheel'), how to establish boundaries (ahead of time, hopefully), and how to deal with possible jealousies (all around) - to name but a few of the issues discussed.

It's not until the middle of the text, though - that the author deals with the "queerness" factor - by highlighting how a (two-girl) threesome can be a relatively safe and more comfortable means by which to fulfill our own same sex desires (which I found to be quite helpful, especially since most of the threesomes imagined by couples will be of the girl/girl/boy type, anyway).

It's in this `queerness' section where the author (a woman) also tosses out the initials, "L-I-T" - which stands for "Lesbian (only) in Threesomes" - which I thought was really cute (and reassuring).

There are some male and female anatomical diagrams as a refresher course; and a few pages encouraging women to go slow with each other, especially since our arousal takes more time (which is in definite contrast to situations involving two guys - where getting out of the starting blocks will typically be much quicker).

Lastly, in terms of the basics, there are a few brief reminders about hygiene, cleanliness - and STD's - which are, of course, sexually transmitted diseases.

The book really hits its stride, though - when it gets to (sexual) positions - in a chapter entitled `Joy of (Sex)3' (to the third power).

If you've ever watched porn, many of these geometries (in line drawings only) will be familiar, especially the ones with two guys (where the lone gal always seems to have at least two of her orifices occupied at any given time).

But it's the depictions of the two-girl threesomes - which I found to be really refreshing (and romantic) - with many of them encouraging women to engage affectionately with each other - to a degree I've not seen on screen (but would love to!).

For example, there are several positions which have the women hugging and kissing (each other) - while the man pleasures himself with one (or both) of the gals (normally from above or behind).

Having the females kiss - actually has several advantages. It's an easier way for the girls to begin to fulfill (a portion) of their same-sex desire - without having to be fully responsible for each other's sexual satisfaction. For the clever (and acrobatic) male - it can also be fun and challenging method for enjoying both women (in quick succession) in a manner which keeps them both occupied (and entertained) - while simultaneously reassuring them of their (underlying) heterosexuality.

In one of the `girls-kissing' postures, the ladies do so - while lying on top of the guy - who is on the floor underneath them (and supporting all of their weight). The author hilariously calls this position - the "nut crusher." (Yikes!)

Other variations have the women embracing front-to-back (such as when kneeling one-behind-the-other over the edge of the bed). Kissing each other over-the-shoulder isn't as convenient, granted. But having both ladies facing in the same direction - keeps their splayed legs and knees more orderly - making it easier for the guy to go back-and-forth between them. (Oh, now I get it!)

Advancing to the next level (of female enjoyment and participation), there are several situations - where one woman orally copulates with another. Some are daisy chain variations - where the girl in the middle (either face-up or face-down) orally pleasures the gal in front of her - as her guy enjoys himself (within her) towards her other end.

In a slightly more challenging geometry -- the female in the middle kneels and positions her center over the other gal's face - as her man fornicates with the babe (being orally copulated) from the back. (Ladies, for those of you -- who have difficulty achieving an orgasm while having sex with your guy - this position might be a godsend!)

The most advanced situations (bisexually speaking), for me - are two classics where both women perform cunnilingus on each other. One, of course, is a daisy chain triangle - where each participant concentrates orally on the male or female in front of them. And a second has the two ladies engaging in a sixty-nine - as the guy partakes in the girl on top from behind. (Being either the gal up above - or below - may be a truly heady experience, indeed!)

To conclude, if you're looking for an entertaining and informative way - to heighten your fantasies (or realities) regarding threesomes (of all types) - `The Threesome Handbook' is one that I would highly recommend. Enjoy.
