From time to time, a couple might look for ways to spice up their relationship, fearing they may have lost some of their spark.
Conversely, some people look for ways to break free of their sexual comfort zone and be more adventurous.
One likely outcome from both of these situations is a threesome.
Needless to say, be it a couple or a plus one, everyone who takes part in a three way for the first time does so with a fair amount of uncertainty and trepidation.
Nor does everyone leave the experience quite like they expected to...
Redditor EdwinDixie was curious to hear the biggest lessons learned from those who took part in a threeway leading them to ask:

No sexual experience goes exactly how you imagined it would go.
In the case of a threesome, some will likely feel that it's double the pressure.
However, some will no doubt leave a threesome thinking it was double the fun as well...
