Years ago a woman that I found unattractive asked me if I wanted to have a threesome with her and a woman that I did find attractive. I decided no, I didn’t. But then girl on girl sex has never been one of my biggest fantasies anyway. ---

Been there, did that. (I was single, so cool it back there in the cheap seats) It was a great time. One of them was a pretty good friend of mine, the other was her partner and while neither of them were my ‘type’, or stunners, they were both decent enough looking that I MIGHT have been interested in regardless of their being straight or gay. ---

You have to consider the available alternatives. Was it a case of _“Do I go have a threesome with these two semi-attractive women or do I go have sex with Jessica Alba, who was hitting on me earlier?”_ Or was it more like _“Do I go have a threesome with these two semi-attractive women or do I go home and watch Seinfeld reruns?”_ ---

If I don’t find either one attractive, then they’re not going to be any more attractive together. I mean, you can put all the naked Janet Reno’s into a big jacuzzi that you want, have them get all lesbian with each and it’s not going to make it any more sexy… ---

I think I had been too generous in my description of the lesbian couple. They were not attractive (to me). Keep in mind these are _real_ lesbians and not porno fantasy lesbians. It was a case of I’m meeting a friend’s lesbian roommates, neither of whom I find attractive, and I had just started a relationship with my current SO. So in that context, it was a no brainer. But if I was single, my “hey, why the hell not?” attitude may have prevailed. ---

I’m thinking along the same lines as **John Carter of Mars** , life’s too short to dance(horizontally or vertically) with ugly women. Enjoy, Steven ---

[QUOTE=Beware of Doug] Yeah, howcum you never see 'em in pr0n? Do they even look at pr0n? [/QUOTE] They sure do, and the kind they like is, in my view, much sexier than the cookie-cutter dragon-lady-nails and fake boobs “girl on girl” stuff. (not a lesbian, but I like lesbian porn) ---

Just to clarify, they were both in their early 20s. So more of this Janet Reno talk. ---

Basically- I think it thusly- couples who are into each other are sexy. Lesbians who are into each other are super-sexy. As long as we’re talking about average-to-middling looking people, it sounds quite mullable. ---

I’m pretty glad that I don’t watch television news. I don’t know what Janet Reno looks like. Edited to answer the actual question: I’d probably go for it, unless I was actively turned off by them, just for the novelty of it. ---

[QUOTE=r4nd0mNumb3rs] **Male dopers: A threesome with two women that you don’t find particularly attractive** [/QUOTE] You know, I think most guys, personal ethics or other commitments permitting, would gladly have a **twosome** with a woman they did not find particularly attractive – within limits, and so long as it were only a one-night stand. Hell, some guys will risk arrest and other hazards to pay for sex with hookers – and a lot of streetwalkers I’ve seen look pretty disgusting, yet they still somehow manage to earn a living. ---

[QUOTE=John Carter of Mars] Exactly. Why be intimate with somebody (or somebodys) you don’t find attractive? Loserville. [/QUOTE] Given the choice, I’d prefer to always relieve myself in a gold-plated urinal kept dutifully stocked with ice by 24-hour attendants, as a violin quartet serenaded my micturition. It’s amazing how less choosy one gets about locale and amenities when you’ve _really gotta go_. ---
