[[A Threesome Is Hot|Threesomes with two girls are hot.]] Threesomes with two guys are [[Hard Gay|manly]]. Note this is [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|''not'' gay]], and [[Sarcasm Mode|no heterosexual male will see it as such]] even if a guy [[Foregone Conclusion|penetrates another guy]]. If the two guys are related, it's [[Insane Troll Logic|also not incestuous]].
 
If there are more than two guys, the threesome becomes especially manly. Double penetration takes this trope [[Up to Eleven]].

* Season Five of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' shows Buffy's [[Erotic Dream]] of her with Angel and Spike, both of them naked and her in a [[Naughty Nurse Outfit]] all three bound together with chains. She doesn't seem eager to interpret it.
* In ''[[X-Force]]'', it seems both Syrin (Theresa Cassidy) and M (Monet St. Croix) have fantasized about doing this with teammate Jamie Madrox (whose mutant power is [[Me's a Crowd| the ability to make duplicates of himself]]) although Madrox was more pragmatic, using his power to date (and then sleep with) both of them in the same night. Played straight, however, after he married Layla Miller, confirming he did this with her at least once.
 
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* In Ars Longa's ''[[Star Wars]]'' fanfic, ''The Springsteen Trilogy'', Luke first has sex with Kyp, then with Mara a lot, then with Kyp some more. Mara at first doesn't like this, but then she wants to have a threesome.

* Used straight in [[Heirs of Alexandria|Shadow of the Lion]].
* In ''Without Reservation: Indigenous Erotica'', an Eskimo shaman and all the other shamans concentrate their manliness in one place, unleashing Sedna's [[Spear Counterpart]], [[Sdrawkcab Name|Andes]], who then makes love to her.

Line 49 ⟶ 54:

Line 56 ⟶ 61:

* "3" by [[Britney Spears]], with its bizarre suggestion of a threesome between Peter, Paul, and Mary.
** The folksingers or the Biblical figures?
Line 67 ⟶ 71:
* Implied in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4Anmi1gjwA "Mexico Road"] by K.T. Oslin with the the line "I'm in the mood to meet some men". However she could also be referring to either [[A Threesome Is Hot|two girl, one guy threesomes]] or [[A Party - Also Known as an Orgy|full-blown orgies]] given the lines "We'll feel some muscles" and "We'll write the wrong phone numbers on their shirts", so [[Your Mileage May Vary]].
 
== Pornography[[Porn]]ography ==
* Too many to count.
** For some reason, predominantly male threesomes with one girl are more common in pornography than threesomes with only one man.
*** Logistics. Two men can penetrate one woman in several ways. However, two women and one man have trouble actively engaging without copious amount of oral sex. That is usually not what people tune in to watch.
*** The threesome with two females, one male is common in pornography if the females are portrayed as bisexual. [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]] and is mainstream, while male bisexuality only appears in certain narrow formulaic sub-genres like "bisexual porn" or "cuckold porn" where the formula is always two boys and a girl.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]'', it is possible for a male player character to have a threesome with the pirate queen Isabela, and male party member Zevran (among other combinations; though, notably, Zevran is the only party member you can invite for a threesome with Isabela with whom you do not have to be romantically involved).
 
== Video[[Western GamesAnimation]] ==
* In [[Dragon Age Origins]], it is possible for a male player character to have a threesome with the pirate queen Isabela, and male party member Zevran (among other combinations; though, notably, Zevran is the only party member you can invite for a threesome with Isabela with whom you do not have to be romantically involved).
 
 
== Western Animation ==
* A [[Cutaway Gag]] in ''[[Family Guy]]'' had Peter refer to that one time he was in a threesome and the girl never showed up.
