Ménage à trois

A ménage à trois, French for "household of three," refers to a sexual arrangement or encounter involving three people. This can be a one-time sexual experience or an ongoing romantic relationship involving three individuals. The term is often used interchangeably with "threesome," although ménage à trois can imply a more ongoing arrangement.

Additional Information

Ménage à trois can take various forms, including relationships where all three individuals are romantically and sexually involved with each other, or arrangements where one person is involved with two others who are not sexually involved with each other. It's important to note that successful ménage à trois relationships require clear communication, consent, and often established boundaries among all participants.

While often associated with casual encounters, ménage à trois can also be a form of polyamorous relationship. The dynamics can vary greatly depending on the individuals involved and their personal preferences and agreements.
