"We've known each other for a long time and never even flirted before this. I'd thought they were both straight, but there was touching and kissing in every combination that night, even if technically they only fucked me. We were all wasted and grieving, and it was a bad idea, but it was also very hot."
"But things have been very weird ever since. They're both suddenly in my life a lot more often than they used to be. They both text very often, invite me to stuff more often, and want to hang out more. It doesn't seem outright romantic or sexual, just intense? And while I'm trying to put everything back into the friendship box, this experience showed me that I'm attracted to both of them, and I love threesomes. But they now don't talk to each other, or go to things the other one is invited to. It's this big, weird, unspoken thing. I know the only way to figure this out is to talk about it, but I have no clue how."
"As much as it's lovely to imagine that you can let this go and have the whole set of relationships return to how they were before, that's extremely unlikely. If you want to stay friends with these men, as opposed to becoming people who see each other at social gatherings and perform a version of emotional intimacy, your best move is to discuss what happened bef"
A funeral wake led to a drunken threesome between the narrator and two longtime male friends who had never previously flirted. The encounter involved touching and kissing in multiple combinations, and only the narrator had sex with both. The men checked in the next day, but afterward their behavior changed: more texts, invitations, and intense attention, along with apparent avoidance between the two men. The narrator discovered attraction to both and enjoyment of threesomes but feels uncertain about outcomes. The recommended course to preserve a genuine friendship is to have a frank conversation, because returning to the previous dynamic is unlikely.
