So, the other day my girlfriend has the idea to try meeting a bisexual girl to be an occasional third for us sexually. Not a relationship with the girl, but a FWB kind of thing. I laughed a bit to myself and said "sure," but had no idea where this was coming from; she had said it's a "fantasy she's had lately," and then it hit me like a ton of bricks getting struck by lightning.

At night when we are bumming around watching television together, I usually have a hard time finding shows or movies that we both want to watch. So when I noticed that Showtime had a soft-core reality series about having constant threesomes, I said, "what the fuck," you know?

And the show is actually pretty good; a mixture of reality drama, train-wreck TV, and soft-core porn. So for a reality show, I was into following it through to the conclusion of the two seasons. I never thought anything further would come of it...

When my girlfriend had mentioned exploring the threesome thing, it occurred to me that she probably first ever got the idea from watching this reality show. The show does a great job of both normalizing and glamorizing polyamorous relationships, there are enough attractive people to sell the idea, and for sure, everyone is having red-hot fun all the time.

I can't guarantee success with this or anything, but if you're looking for something to watch with your girl, maybe give this a try and see what happens.
