A ménage à trois (also sometimes known as a trio, threesome, or three-way) is a sexual relationship involving three people. There are a number of possible combinations of sexes and sexual interactions of the sexual partners. Sometimes, the sexual attraction is mainly between one of the three and the other two and less between these other two; this may for example apply in the case of three heterosexuals.
As the number of people involved goes beyond three, the terms ménage à quatre and so on can be used.
A ménage à trois should not be confused with a love triangle, which refers to an unsatisfactory romantic relationship involving three people.
Troilism is the name for the paraphilia relating to three-party sex.
As of 2003, there is no country allowing both same-sex marriage and polygamy; therefore, if three people have a marital bond, this consists of two heterosexual marriages: of one person with two persons of the opposite sex.
Famous ménages à trois in movies and television series:
- The movie Threesome (1994) is about a love triangle with two men and a woman, originally heterosexual, but with homosexual feelings also awakening.
