Threesomes: Loving being a unicorn

When she very first requested me if I’d be thinking about using the girl and her heterosexual cis-male companion, I becamen’t finding a three-way. I wanted to explore intercourse with femme-presenting females.

We watched partners whom looked for thirds how numerous others would, as shady and only interested in their benefits – because the dreadful unicorn hunters.

But her message had been helpful, and I figured, ‘why-not?'

I’d no knowledge about threesomes with bi-curious partners. I got just come-out per year previous as a bisexual and polyamorous girl after hiding for quite some time, and leaping from a single monogamous right link to the next.

Being bisexual introduced the most common labels to be ‘dirty' for appreciating both women and men intimately.

Becoming polyamorous and doing everyday sex suggested I was as well promiscuous, maybe not emotionally committed adequate, and branded a cheater before we also found for a coffee.

Getting plus-size with a human anatomy image/eating disorder just enhanced the feelings of inadequacy and embarrassment for which i will be.

So when she messaged me personally, informing me personally she believed I found myself stunning, and asking me to satisfy this lady and her lover for a drink and discover how we thought, we took ability.

Two mouths in the place of one, four fingers as opposed to two worshipped my human body, and that I all of them. And for the very first time in a very while, we believed desired, appealing, and wished. And especially, I decided i really could eventually end up being myself.

U

nicorn hunting
is quite
a term that defines
lovers, generally cisgender, bi-curious types, on the lookout for a 3rd to become listed on all of them for sexual play. This
3rd
, appropriately known as the
‘unicorn'
for all the imagined rareness of their existence, is ideally a cisgender, slender, femme-presenting bisexual or bi-curious woman, a person who is unmarried, pleased for No Strings Attached (NSA) preparations, and also be intimately unique because of the couple.

I’m not a real unicorn as I’m perhaps not solitary, sexually exclusive, nor slender.

My major spouse phone calls myself a rainicorn instead. I’ve found the term endearing as rainicorns (influenced by

Adventure Time

) can be bought in all types of tints, forms, and characters. I thrive on being a 3rd for couples, taking their unique sexual dreams to life minus the extra strings of an emotional accessory. I take fantastic pleasure in-being the item both desire.

Intimacy, in my situation, is generally but an excellent moment, a brief nights passion without any additional objectives.

Anti-unicorn shopping is rolling out from a need to emphasize the harms that numerous bisexual cisgender and femme-presenting ladies experience when they’re hunted by partners for potential three-ways. It often promotes throuple and triad scenarios instead one-off sexual encounters so that the rights of most included.

And that I obtain it. Bisexual ladies are usually painted as promiscuous, sexual items, sexually experimental, hyper-sexual, and assumed to get upwards for any and all sorts of sexual activity, including three-ways. Many happen maltreated by this practice of shopping, which can’t be reduced.

To be honest however, i’m the majority of those ideas. Being a unicorn is the best set in which these aspects of my personal identification being routinely coated as misconceptions about bisexual folks are valued.

Since feminist philosopher Ann Cahill reveals, to not end up being intimately objectified, such as for instance in the case of excess fat females, is seen as being refused a sex and permission to relish delight, one thing to which I have actually considered highly in most of my life.

Investing in this identity features allowed us to seek sexual fulfillment in an alternative group of methods, and engage my hyper-sexuality, instead of deny it.

I’m sick of men and women speaking for me, assuming that Im constantly vulnerable to exploitation in the sheer assumption of my personal bisexuality and femme-presenting sex. That becoming hunted means I am always prey. That i have to usually desire an intense, intimate, and continuous connection with a couple of versus some thing informal.

W

hile our company is colored as ‘rare', i believe there may be even more women like me in hiding. Most likely, the reason why would I or any person wanna arrive onward openly as a unicorn, whenever user discussion forums and the like paint unicorn hunters as ‘disgusting' and just wanting to ‘spice upwards their particular boring intercourse physical lives'?

In which really does that leave those of us exactly who enjoy getting part of those dynamics while the hunted?

Whenever shaming these couples happens, our company is additionally shaming the unicorns who do these methods. The audience is producing the story where bi-curious NSA three-ways are viewed as always inherently tricky encounters, and additionally strengthening the notion that ladies only actually ever desire intimate link, that individuals cannot come to be contemplating only sex.

We should instead open room and get conscious associated with range of sexual experiences. We might take part in various sexual techniques and involvements, as well as many of us bi-women, getting promiscuous, available to NSA three-ways, and hyper-sexual, just isn’t a bad thing.

Neither is it an inherently adverse representation of bisexuality a lot more generally. All things considered, it isn’t the representation that’s the issue, it is the method by which it is weaponised.

Unfortunately, the anti-unicorn ‘community' is performing a really good task of pathologising myself, and ladies like me, because we dare choose to embrace facets of ourselves which happen to be regarded as a ‘problem' by other people. Because we dare getting ‘bad' bisexuals.

I’m a bisexual ‘rainicorn'.

And that I do not exactly like being hunted.

I fucking like it.

Rainicorn operates in research, emphasizing bodies, sexuality and gender, intimate procedures, and health and health. She determines as a bisexual, cisgender, polyamorous plus-size Anglo-Celtic woman, and it is intercourse good, kink/fetish good, and excess fat positive.
