Threesome stories

Threesome stories are erotic fiction about three adults together, usually a couple and someone they’ve invited in. The tension comes from before: who suggested it, who’s nervous, and how three people work out who goes where without anyone feeling left out.

The search results here lean on magazine confessions and old tag pages. There’s plenty of mechanics and not much about why three grown people would actually do this. We think the “why” is the best part. Below is what makes these stories work, three openings to read, and how to get one written for you.

Chapter 1 is public. You choose how chapter 2 goes.

What makes a threesome story work

  • Three people, not two and a guest. The third person needs their own wants and their own life to go back to.
  • The moment before. A threesome is planned out loud, or it isn’t. Somebody has to bring it up, and that’s funny, tense and memorable.
  • Attention moves around. Readers like knowing how each of the three feels at each moment. The person watching often has the best lines.
  • The morning after. Who makes the coffee? Does the friend stay? Is everyone still fine at noon?

Three openings

Three openings written for this page. They stop before anything explicit. Open one to read how it starts.

Moving Day

MFMOld friends Ty has helped them move three times in ten years. This time, Alma and Luis have something to ask him when the truck’s unloaded. Read the opening

The couch went up the stairs last, because it always did. Then the three of them sat on it in the empty living room with their knees up, eating pizza off the box, too tired to find plates.

“Ten years,” Ty said. “Three apartments and this. Next time, hire someone.”

Alma looked past him at Luis. Luis raised his eyebrows: you or me? She put her slice down.

“We were talking,” she said. “About you. We’ve been talking about you for a while, actually.”

Ty stopped chewing. He looked from one to the other, and then, slowly, down at the box, like the answer might be in the pepperoni.

“I’m going to need you to finish that sentence,” he said.

What happens next?

  • Luis finishes it
  • Ty says “Is this why you made me carry the couch?”
  • Skip to next Friday, when he comes back on purpose

The Third Glass of Water

FFMHer birthday For her fortieth, Kit asks her husband for one thing. He thinks she’s joking until she introduces him to Bri. Read the opening

“This is Bri,” Kit said. “From the climbing gym. I told you about her.”

She had told him about Bri: forearms, a laugh you could hear across the parking lot, once beat Kit up the hard wall on a bet. She hadn’t told him that Bri would be sitting at their kitchen table on the night of her birthday, drinking water out of the good glasses.

Nick shook her hand. “So you’re why she’s been so cheerful on Tuesdays.”

“That’s the idea,” Bri said, and looked at Kit. “You didn’t tell him?”

“I told him what I wanted for my birthday,” Kit said. She got up and took a third glass down from the shelf, and filled it, and slid it across to her husband. “I didn’t tell him it was coming over for dinner.”

What happens next?

  • Dinner, and the three of them see how it feels
  • Nick asks Kit into the hall for a word
  • Bri asks what the rules are, and nobody has any yet

One Room Left

MMFRoad trip Three coworkers driving back from a trade show. A closed highway, and a motel with one room left. Read the opening

“One room,” the clerk said. “Two queens. And you’re lucky. They just closed 80 at Laramie.”

Dara, Wes and Hal stood dripping on the mat. They’d been a sales team for four years, each answerable to somebody in Omaha and to no one in this room. Between them they’d shared hundreds of bad coffees and exactly zero secrets of any interest.

In the room, Hal looked at the two beds and started doing the math out loud.

“Stop,” Dara said. She dropped her bag on the nearer bed. “I’ve sat between you two for four years. Hal, you’ve been staring at Wes since the Denver show, and Wes, you’ve been staring at me. I’m tired and it’s snowing. Does anyone want to say anything before I brush my teeth?”

What happens next?

  • Wes says something first
  • Hal laughs for a long time, then says “Yes.”
  • They play cards, and everything comes out over the game

Setups readers ask for

  • A couple and a friend, which is the one with the most at stake.
  • A couple and someone they’ve met for this, carefully, over weeks. A wife and two men often goes under hotwife stories.
  • Three friends and a storm, or a cabin, or one room left. Being stuck together helps. See the list of romance tropes.
  • All three in a relationship, sometimes called a throuple or a “why choose” romance. See what a reverse harem is.
  • Two couples. That’s four people, so see swinger stories.

Get one written your way

Ask in your own words: a married couple and her old climbing partner, and all of them are a bit too polite about it. metime writes chapter one while you read, then you pick what happens or write it yourself. Explicit chapters sit behind sign-up and an age check.

Questions

What does MFM mean in a story?

MFM means two men and a woman, with the woman in the middle: the men focus on her, not on each other. It’s a common label on threesome stories and romance novels.

What is the difference between MFM and MMF?

Both have two men and one woman. In MMF, the men are also involved with each other, or at least they can be. In MFM, they aren’t. FFM is the same idea with two women and a man.

Is a threesome story the same as polyamory?

Not usually. A threesome story might be one night between friends. Polyamory means ongoing relationships with more than one person. Some stories turn from the first into the second.

Is it free to read?

The openings here are free. On metime, the first three chapters of your first two stories are free, with no card. After that there are three plans, from $6.99 to $14.99 every 30 days. Paid plans open soon; until then, nothing is charged.
