Doug had been joking about a threesome with me and my wife for ages.

I thought at first it was just that — a joke. However, as time wore on, I realized he was serious. Bold, honest, and serious.

I called my wife from the bar where Doug and I were drinking one night. “So, Doug wants to have a threesome with us. How do you feel about that?”

Dead silence.

“Janet?”

“For real?”

“I think so. He’s been talking about it since we started playing softball together. I thought it was just talk. But he seems serious, and I wasn’t sure…” I let the sentence trail off.

“You’re willing to have a threeway with another guy?” I could picture her, one eyebrow raised, hip cocked.
