It is the ultimate male fantasy to have two women at once - to indulge in a ménage à trois.

Jamaican society generally condemns same-sex relations, yet many men are fascinated by the idea of 'getting it on' with two women at once.

Threesomes are at the centre of many fantasies, but is it really worth all the hype?

One man argued that the sight of the naked female body is enough to get him aroused, so having two at his disposal is double the pleasure, double the fun!

Flair found two 'lucky' men, who have already been party to a threesome, and shared their experiences.

My first time, a lot of alcohol and curiosity. I was in Negril with friends for a series of parties and became very drunk. While hanging out at our hotel, before going to another party, things started getting wild and before I knew it, clothing started to come off.

There was much kissing and groping and the rest was history. Then I didn't have many expectations, but I prefer one-on-one contact, so threesomes for me are highly overrated. The extra person is just a catalyst, an equivalent to a sex toy.

The second time around, the experience was markedly improved. For one I was sober, and it was more planned as the girls seemed to know exactly what they were doing. Then it was 'fanta-bulous.'

But you still can't have that intimate connection with two persons at a time.

Unfortunately, after the act, it sometimes becomes awkward, especially if you were previously seeing one of the women. Things are taken out of context and she begins asking questions like 'why I seemed to be having more fun with the other girl' and such.

I have had several threesomes, usually upon the invitation of the girls, but last year was the first time my girlfriend and I sought someone for that purpose. It has been my most gratifying episode to date.

Marieand I had been dating for some time, and with both of us fresh from long-term relationships, we were just looking to have some fun. Once I hinted at the threesome idea, only to learn that an acquaintance who I had been eyeing, my girlfriend was also eyeing. We decided that one of us should try to win over the girl, Tiffany, and then introduce the other person. After much deliberation on who should approach her and how, we decided that I would try.

I approached her as the sweet, charming gentleman and she started warming up to me. Soon I had to leave the island on business for a while, putting my pursuit on hold. The same night I left, Marie invited Tiffany to hang out.

It was now a competition to see who could 'get' the girl first. By day five, Marie made much more 'headway' than I had and they started experimenting. Marie eventually told Tiffany that she and I were involved and even suggested that it would be more fun if I were in the picture.

Tiffany had never done such a thing before so she did not immediately warm up to the idea. When Marie told me that they had become intimate, I immediately booked a flight and two days later I was home!

Over the week I had been away, Tiffany had become attached to Marie and was now beginning to show signs of jealously over our relationship. She made it seem as though I was taking away her girl. What should have led up to a nice little threesome was actually turning into a tug-of-war over Marie! Eventually, I called a meeting at my house to lay everything on the table. I lost it.

"You can't have my girlfriend!" I asserted, "it just doesn't work that way." I was prepared to leave them to themselves but Marie, who throughout the whole ordeal found it to be all a big joke, said we couldn't just leave the issue hanging like that.

There was a moment of silence, Marie and Tiffany looked at each other, Marie gave a nod, Tiffany shrugged, then Marie straddled me and we began kissing.

Mid-kiss she eased off and looked around at Tiffany, who then looked away.

We resumed and soon Marie eased off again, but this time Tiffany took over and started kissing me. I lifted Tiffany to the bed, and Marie and I had her.

Repeat guest

From then on, she was a repeat guest in our bedroom.

Marie and I stopped dating long ago, but she and Tiffany are now best friends.

Sex with two persons is much more pleasurable than with only one, provided you have the willingness and 'stamina' to please them both. The best thing out of a threesome is that if one person is tired, he/she can take a break while the others continue the party. That way, it can last for hours.

If I had the opportunity to do it again with the right persons who have the right vibes, I would do it again, right now! *

Names changed

Next week, we will hear from the ladies who have been party to a threesome, what they thought of the experience, and a professional's comment on the implications of such sexual activities.
