A throuple who share a $1,200 (£1,031) king-size bed have revealed the one thing they’re always asked about their sex life.
Megan, 39, Alana, 29, and Kevin, 35, claim they’re constantly asked about the sleeping arrangements in their relationship.
Rather than claiming a permanent side of the mattress, the trio switch positions every night to keep things equal.
“It works perfectly,” Megan, from Colorado, USA, told Need To Know.
“Intimacy is pretty equal.
“We all love physical touch, so there’s a lot of cuddling and closeness across the board.
“People always ask about the sleeping arrangements.
“It’s definitely one of the top questions people are curious about.
“We usually go to bed around the same time, so we’re all in the bathroom getting ready together and then pile into bed.
“Alana likes things very quiet, so we agreed on a really low TV volume if it’s on while we’re falling asleep.”
They sleep in a king-size bed that costs around £1,031 – and even turned the mattress sideways to create a bit more room for three bodies.
When travelling, things can get trickier for Megan, who works in operations, Alana, who works in marketing and Kevin, who works in production.
Megan said: “Things can be a little complicated.
“When you book a room for three people, hotels almost always give you two beds because they assume no one wants to share.
“We usually request a king when we get there, and if it has to be two beds, we just rotate who sleeps where each night.”
The throuple say the biggest misconception about their bedroom dynamic is that it’s constantly wild.
Megan said: “The biggest misconception is that it’s chaotic or sexual all the time.
“In reality, it’s just three people sharing space, routines, comfort, and sleep like any other relationship, just with more bodies and more communication.”
Kevin and Alana were together first before Megan entered the picture.
Alana had expressed a desire to explore her bisexuality, which Kevin supported.
The pair met Megan on a dating app.
Megan said: “We expected it to be a one-night thing but it turned into something more and we fell in love.”
While sceptics often assume a throuple dynamic means “two against one” during disagreements, the trio say they have ways of preventing that.
Megan said: “We’re intentional about not teaming up.
“If two people are in an argument, the third stays out of it unless they’re asked for their opinion.
“Early on, we learned it’s best to include everyone in conversations if something is going on.
“Talking behind someone’s back can be hurtful. We also agreed to communicate how we’re feeling as soon as something feels off.
“We’ve had difficult moments, but we address them early.
“Initially, there were challenging moments because we had never been in this type of relationship before, but we all knew we wanted to make it work.”
On date nights, they take turns planning and paying, usually agreeing on the restaurant together.
Their families have had mixed reactions.
Kevin’s mother initially struggled with the idea, while Megan’s and Alana’s families were more easygoing.
Megan said: “Nothing lasts forever.
“We focus on being present and enjoying what we have now.
“Worrying about it not working doesn’t help anyone.
“We’re just here to spread positivity.”
She added: “By sharing our lives on social media, we’re not trying to recruit anyone or say polyamory is better than monogamy.
“We simply enjoy sharing our perspective on love and having fun while doing it.”
