The threesome, also known as “the Dick Tickle tricycle” or “Clit Tickle Tricycle,” is the most common sexual fantasy among Americans. Porn certainly plays a part in glorifying this sexual experience, exploiting our desires to be the center of attention or to be someone who can sexually please not one, but two people successfully. 

Research shows that people’s experiences acting on their group sex fantasies differ a lot depending on their gender and sexual orientation. Men are more likely to say their threesome experience(s) met or exceeded expectations, and gay men tend to have a better time with 3-ways than straight men. Women have less positive experiences with threesomes overall, but straight women typically report less satisfaction than bisexual women. 

Heterosexual men and women may have high hopes for their sexy human centipede which are disappointed because they can’t agree on who should be involved and who should be the star of the show. Straight women tend to prefer MMF arrangements, men generally prefer FFM, and both straight guys and girls want to be the center of attention. Tons of communication is necessary to overcome any mismatched expectations and misunderstandings which ultimately earned threesomes the award for “sexual fantasy that’s least likely to turn out well.”
