As long as neither of them were fat or hairy, I’d be up for it.

[QUOTE=Little Nemo]  
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?”_  
[/QUOTE]

I think **Little Nemo** nailed it.

I couldn’t do it. I have really high standards for looks in women and they have never been broken. I cringe when I think about prostitutes, ugly girls getting picked up by drunk guys at bars, and even less than attractive girls in porn. I get pissed when I click on a thumbnail of someone on a porn site that I assume is attractive and she has any flaws at all. I can’t click the close button fast enough.

No way.

[QUOTE=Malacandra]  
Speaking as someone whose sex life seems to have mostly entailed people I don’t find especially attractive, I can certainly say that in some parallel universe I’d’ve been all over that like jizz on a porn starlet’s face. Sheer naked curiosity would have done the necessary, given the proviso that the women weren’t hideous.  
[/QUOTE]

Quite a vivid simile… 😛

I’d say “Hey, let’s make it a foursome and have my wife join in too!”

At least then there’d be somebody hot there. And you know the old saying … you can never have too many breasts around you.

In a freakin’ New York Second. Threesomes are great! What’s not to like? Twice as much of all the things you love and more sex than you are likely to survive without serious physical damage. It is at least as good as most imagine it to be. You can go for as long as you are able and when you need a break (and it will be a brief one) they can entertain each other for a few minutes. This in itself will have you back on the pitchers mound in no time flat.

When uncommitted, I always worked under the impression that any woman willing to have sex with me was attractive. I never faced a _Janet Reno_-type situation to test my assumption, though.

[QUOTE=Mtgman]  
I’m thinking along the same lines as **John Carter of Mars** , life’s too short to dance(horizontally or vertically) with ugly women.  
[/QUOTE]

Absolutely. At this point in my life my social schedule is so filled with hot sex with sexy underwear models that I simply don’t have the time for an interesting meaningless sex trio.

:dubious:

That being my sarcastic way of saying “Fuck yeah I’m up for having sex!” It’s better than not sex.

Yeah, it’s a good thing that ugly is relative. Otherwise none of these ugmos would be getting banged. Am I right or what?

Harry Burns: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.

Sally Albright: So, you’re saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?

Harry Burns: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.
