Now, if I asked this question to a guy he would probably... strike that... most definitely say no, generally speaking. However, if one phrased it as, "Yo, could you and your friend tag team me after class, no homo?" I'm sure you'd be surprised at the amount of "yeses" one might receive. This brings up the question then: what is the difference between a threesome and getting double teamed? Intrinsically, there is no difference; both the threesome and being double teamed are sex between three people. However, the connotations of both are quite different. Speaking specifically about two hetero males and a female, a threesome would involve what many men refer to as "crossing swords" something not allowed in the hetero male community. On the other hand, group sex such as the Eiffel Tower, London Bridge, or Double/Tag Team speaks of two men "giving it to a woman." In these situations, emphasis is placed on the males' pleasure, whereas in a threesome or menage a trois, the emphasis is on the female. So what is it about a threesome that scares men off? Is it their built-in homophobia? Loss of control? Their inadequacy issues about pleasing a woman? Perhaps. No doubt these are all factors in a man gingerly approaching a threesome. However, I suggest something else at the core. Lack of attention. It's no secret that men like attention. Traditional flirting is meant to boost a man's ego; porn usually glorifies the male; socially and traditionally, men have had most of the attention. Take the traditional threesome for example: most males have fantasies of having sex with two women simultaneously. Why is this such a popular fantasy? Since the male is insecure by nature, his ego needs to be inflated. If he can have two women agree to have sex with him at the same time, how much bigger could it get? His ego that is. How much more attention could he ask for, short of a menage a cinq? I suggest that men really fear male-male-female threesomes, not simply because of innate homophobia, but because they are jealous! Jealous of the female and the attention that she would be receiving! Think about it guys: how many times have you not practiced reciprocity in sexual encounters? Think of a threesome as our form of sexual reparations! And so I urge you, men, please take one for the team! Say yes to hetero male-male-female threesomes... hypothetically speaking!
