What is 3 way?

Three-way relationships, often referred to as triads or throuples, involve romantic and/or sexual relationships between three people. They are a form of polyamory, which is the practice of having multiple consensual relationships. These relationships can take many forms:

• Closed Triads: All three individuals are exclusively involved with each other.
• Open Triads: The three individuals are primarily together, but may also have outside relationships.
• Vee Relationships: One person is involved with two others who are not involved with each other.

Key aspects of successful three-way relationships often include:

• Communication: Open and honest communication is crucial for navigating the complexities of a three-person dynamic.
• Consent: Consent from all parties involved is paramount.
• Equality: While perfect equality is difficult to achieve, striving for equitable distribution of time, affection, and emotional labor is important.
• Boundaries: Establishing and respecting individual and collective boundaries is essential.
• Jealousy Management: Learning to manage jealousy is a common challenge.
