An MMF threesome is group sex involving two male-identifying participants and one female-identifying participant who all pleasure one another. This type of threesome involves male-female and male-male sexual activity. It is sometimes called an MMF threeway. Other types of threesomes include FFM, MFM, FMF, FFF and MMM.
Because an MMF threesome includes male-female and male-male sexual activity, it may involve men who identify as bisexual. Bisexual men may enjoy an MMF threesome as it allows them to enjoy sex with another man and a woman they may be attracted to. While being bisexual, pansexual, or bi-curious can make an MMF threesome feel more comfortable and arousing for male participants, it is not essential. Some men may engage in an MMF threesome because their partner is aroused by male-male sexual activity. They may also get caught up in the moment and act in a way that doesn’t necessarily align with their sexuality.
How common are MMF threesomes?
It’s difficult to determine how common MMF threesomes are, as there is little research on the subject. The studies are often small in scale, so there’s a chance that the participants do not reflect the community at large. The most prominent studies are also a little dated, so they may not reflect current sexual habits.
In 2018, Birmingham City University academic Dr. Ryan Scoats spoke to 16 women who said they’d been involved in a mixed-sex threesome at least once. Twenty percent of these women said they’d had an MMF threesome, and 37 percent said they wanted to. Most participants said they were aroused by male-male sexual interaction. Dr. Scoats also spoke to several young men and found that around three-quarters were open to MMF threesomes.
In 2017, PLOS ONE published another sexual study that documented the experiences of more than 2,000 American adults. It found that 10% of women and 18% of men had participated in a threesome. While the type of threesome wasn’t documented, the higher percentage of men recorded suggests threesomes with two men and one woman, including MMF threesomes, may be more common than threesomes involving one or no men.
While a significant number of people said they’d had a threesome, it seems most people aren’t engaging in them regularly. Fewer than 3% of people surveyed said they’d had a threesome in the last 12 months, and fewer than 1% reported having a threesome in the last month. That may be because finding a threesome can be half the battle in making this fantasy a reality
Other Threesome Combos
An MMF is just one of several threesome combinations. An MFM threesome is another threesome involving two male-identifying participants and a female-identifying participant. The men in a MFM threesome focus their attention on the woman and do not pleasure one another, as they do in a MMF threesome.
There are also FFM and FMF threesomes involving two female-identifying participants and one male-identifying participant. Everyone pleasures one another in an FFM threesome. In an FMF threesome, the women focus their attention on the men; there is no female-female sexual activity.
There are also FFF threesomes, with all female-identifying participants, and MMM threesomes, with all male-identifying participants. It’s up to the participants of these threesomes if they all want to have sex with one another or want to focus their sexual energy on one person.
