Rating: Summary: very helpful information Review: For several years, i have wanted to experiment with a relationship between myself and two women.I had not been successful, to to my nervousness, and my inability to express my self properly to the women i was interested in. After reading Threesome, and re-reading it, I gained an understanding of a womans point of view, as well as more confidence in my own desires. I have finally been able to realize my fantasy, and i believe my eventual success was due to the knowledge I gained in reading this book. I strongly recommend it to anyone wishing to expand their sexual experiences
Rating: Summary: Good topic not so easy to make into reality Review: Good book on alternative relationships. However the book makes it all seem easier than it really is to get and maintain. It is a book about a fantasy that many of us, particularly men, have. However many of us might like the idea more than the reality. To find out more about that you'll have to look to other books.
Rating: Summary: A good book Review: I am a college student. A friend of mine has had a threesome but he is the only one I know who has done this. In my opinion, save yourself a few dollars and don't buy the book. If you want a threesome become better at talking to people, and start hanging out at places or on websites where that kind of thing happens more often. It shouldn't be that difficult, but it might take you a while which isn't going to change if you buy this book. If you want a really good book which will bring you far better results as far as having a better sex life which can easily bring about a threesome, read How to Succeed with Women by Ron Louis and David Copeland. These guys are worth reading!
Rating: Summary: Of limited value Review: I found this book disappointing.It could be valuable to people with little experience in that it offers some good insights on how women think about sex and some practical suggestions on how to "pop the question" to a friend you are hoping to seduce. I also agree with the author's central advice, that a couple looking for a second female will be most successful if they go after one of the woman's friends rather than looking for a stranger purely for sex. I also agree that it is the woman of the couple who must do the "recruiting," whether it is approaching a friend or seeking out a new friend who is appropriate. This is the ONLY way to go if the couple is hoping for an ongoing friendship that goes beyond the purely physical, which some are. However, this is really not what most couples want. They are looking for [passionate] women who want sex, not a long-term triad. Most women do NOT want to seduce their vanilla friends, something that could torpedo a friendship if it goes wrong. Nor do women want to spend months looking for new women friends and then trying to turn them into lovers. I also take offense at some of the author's suggestions to mislead the "target" and to encourage women who are married or attached to lie to their husbands/boyfriends. I know what I'm talking about, as I'm a veteran swinger. It is true, as the author points out, that there are VERY few single women who are overtly interested in encounters with couples. But there are some, and I think the reader would have been better served with more thorough advice on how to find them and appeal to them. And the author barely mentions what I think is really the most promising option for couples seeking an FFM threesome: reciprocity. There are few single women in the swinging lifestyle, but there are MANY couples with bisexual women who are eager for female play. It isn't hard at all for a couple to befriend other couples with similar tastes and negotiate a swap, whether or not they are interested in playing as a foursome. Woman 1 goes to couple 2's house; the following weekend, Woman 2 goes to couple 1's house. If a woman's partner is opposed to this, I think that reveals the selfishness of his motivation. Finally, there is virtually no mention of the Internet, which really dooms this book. In 2004, the Internet is not only the best way for swingers to contact each other, it's nearly become the ONLY way.
Rating: Summary: wonderful Review: I found this book to be nothing short of terrific, I learned alot about myself and about how females like myself think and feel. I could not put it down! GREAT JOB LORI.
Rating: Summary: A Woman's Guide to Bisexuality and Bi-Curiosity Review: I had read this book years ago. But I recently revisited it to see if my perspectives on it had changed. And you know what? They had!
'Threesomes -- How To Fulfill Your Favorite Fantasy' by Lori Gammon is one of the best works of its kind I've ever read - and one of the first titles I ever came across which acknowledged the strength and prevalence of female bisexuality (women being interested in other girls sexually to some degree) - and how to fulfill this desire by engaging in a two-girl threesome.
Back when this was written (which wasn't that long ago), Lori, the author, had suggested using a threesome as a means for women to fulfill their same-sex longing - while avoiding the stigma of being called a lesbian.
For threesomes, Lori teaches us why lesbians won't be interested (because they want a monogamous, long-term relationship with women only), and why it's important for the female member (in the relationship) to take the initiative to seek out other girls, which tells other women that both members are serious about finding a third partner.
This is difficult for females, of course - because women aren't used to being the `initiator' - and are instead more accustomed to being the `gatekeeper' - as men wine and dine us in order to get between our legs! Everything Lori teaches us to fulfill our bisexual longing - is basically how to act like a man - in order to charm women into our beds (which actually isn't bad advice at all!).
An entire chapter is spent instructing us how to use personal want ads (which is something I would never do). But I guess the major issue I`ve always had with this book - that I realize now - is needing to fulfill my bisexual desires by using a threesome. As much as I love my guy, I'm not sure I want to share him with another (unattached) babe - especially one cute enough for me to be attracted to!
I also think that the world has changed somewhat since this book was written. I could be wrong, but lesbianism - and female bisexuality - aren't nearly the no-no's they were just a few years ago. So my advice for women is to take this book's teachings - and apply it - without the threesome element! (Just seek out another girl - on your own!)
And rather than using want ads, go instead to the book's very next chapter - which tells you how to turn your friend - into your lover (which is again advice which I've found to be much more fruitful!).
Most of my friends are married. And my lover(s) and I never have any desire to leave our mates - for each other! (Because that's for lesbians -- which we aren't - which also makes our encounters much less complicated!)
And the belief that having sex with your best friend will destroy your friendship - is just a bunch of bunk (probably spread, in fact, by men!). In reality, I've found the opposite to be true!
The major watch-out for women, speaking candidly -- is that females take a lot longer to reach satisfaction (which is why foreplay and seduction are so important). And the major element for making this kind of relationship successful - which Lori fails to highlight - is that everything needs to be kept absolutely confidential (which is like asking some women to cut out their tongues!). It's amazing how many opportunities will open up to you sexually (pun intended) - if you can keep a secret! Honest!
Now, Lori doesn't mention this either, but if a woman really insists upon including her mate, a method that one of my girlfriends claims works for her is to have a (modified) foursome - not a threesome! The men are sequestered in separate bedrooms - and the women (together) come to each of them in turn. The women are free to engage each other however they please - and the man can watch (and make suggestions)! But each man is only allowed to penetrate his wife (or girlfriend) -- and not the other -- although other forms of interplay (such as oral sex) could be added as an option. (Most men, I'm told, are more than happy with this arrangement.)
To conclude, when it comes to seducing other women, Lori Gammon, the author, appears to be an expert! But the times, I believe, have moved on -- and I wish she would rewrite this book - teaching women instead how to fulfill their bisexual longings on their own (with a threesome or a foursome as just a variation).
And if she would include the physical techniques for pleasing women as well, that would also be helpful (since one would now need to purchase another book in order to glean this information).
Despite all of these shortcoming, I still consider Lori's 'Threesomes' work to be the most definitive `how to' guide to help women satisfy their bi-curious side. Being bi-curious, after all -- is nice! But being bisexual (even part-time) - is much, much better! Enjoy.
Rating: Summary: Best advice yet! Review: I have read what other books are out there, but this one is the best by far. I am a woman experienced in threesomes, but I read the book because I wanted to learn how to help other women in their journey of being bisexual. The best advice of all is that friends make the best lovers - this is so true! I was thrilled to read a book that gave so many common sense ideas (but that even I was oblivious to). I won't give away any more of her "secrets," but this really is a good book. It has totally changed my approach to women in general. [....]
Rating: Summary: Read this book with your companion..... Review: I'll keep this simple. The book was very helpful for both my wife and myself. Since it was written by a woman, Lori takes in the concerns of a woman. As far as helping a man guide his way to this experience the book gave direction, wisdom, and good advice. I would recommend this book to anyone in search of this experience or for a woman who is BI curious and needs some good advice and how to have a good first experience. Thanks Lori!

Rating: Summary: Realistic, practical, truthful, useful! Review: I've have never, ever found a book on relationships that I could stand behind until this one came along! THREESOME IS THE ONLY BOOK ON RELATIONSHIPS I RECOMMEND. The advice rings true and corresponds with my menage a trois experiences. Except for two, every young woman I dated for more than a few months revealed she was bi-curious or had sexual encounters with other young women. Threesome was written by someone who has been there and done that for 15 years! Her chapters on seduction, alone, are worth the price of the book.
