3 Some Positions: Best Threesome Ideas for Every Fantasy

Whether you’re imagining an FFM female threesome, a lesbian threesome, or any three‑way mix, this guide walks you through positions for threesomes that feel great and keep everyone included. You’ll get setup tips, body‑friendly angles, toy ideas, and safety basics so your three way positions deliver more pleasure than pressure—no one left on the sidelines.

Ground rules before any 3‑some position

A fantastic threesome starts long before anyone gets naked.

Align on the “why”: Are you chasing curiosity, variety, a shared fantasy, or a regular triad dynamic? Share your motives up front and listen to each other. A casual three‑way (“threesome”) is different from an ongoing throuple relationship; both can involve any genders and orientations, and both require clear expectations. Women’s Health notes that throuples can be any gender mix—labels don’t dictate dynamics; communication does. 

Draw bright lines: Agree on boundaries (what’s in/out), protection (condoms, dental dams, gloves), safe words, and the plan if anyone gets overwhelmed. WebMD’s threesome overview underscores the value of talking logistics and consent before play.

Plan protection:

• Use a fresh condom for every partner and every type of sex (oral, vaginal, anal). If you switch partners or switch from anal to vaginal, put on a new one. This helps prevent STI transmission and bacterial transfer. CDC guidance is explicit on single‑use per act and partner. 
• If you move from anal to vaginal, change the condom to reduce infection risk. Medical News Today reiterates this practical step. 
• Internal condoms are an option—don’t use an internal and external condom together. 
• Condoms materially reduce risk for HIV/STIs (not 100% protection). For HIV specifically, consistent condom use is protective; pair with testing and other strategies. 

Make aftercare a thing: Water, cuddles, and a “how are we feeling?” debrief help everyone land well—especially after intense play.

How to rotate attention so no one feels “extra”

Every trio worries about the “third wheel” moment. Here’s how to avoid it:

• Set scenes, not chaos. Design mini‑segments where the “focus partner” changes every few minutes.
• Hands have jobs. If two are locked into a penetrative move, the third can stroke, kiss, hold a vibe, or direct tempo.
• Use toys to equalize. A slim remote bullet keeps the third person involved between bodies. Discreet options like the Remote‑Controlled Bullet Vibrator are ideal for trio play; you can browse more in Egg & Bullet Vibrators.

Best 3 Some Positions (by trio type)

Below are three-way positions organized by the most‑requested setups, including FFM threesome ideas and lesbian threesome positions. Use pillows and lube generously; adjust for comfort and height differences. When penetration’s involved, keep protection and condom‑change rules in mind. 

A) FFM (two vulva‑owners + one penis/strap)

The Eiffel Tower (classic): One partner kneels/stands at the receiving partner’s face for oral while the third penetrates from behind; the two outside partners may “high‑five” overhead. It’s a cliché for a reason: eye contact, rhythm, and shared control. WebMD details structure and safer‑sex notes for this group position.
How to keep it kind: Switch who’s the “center” every few minutes. If oral is overwhelming, swap to hand stimulation.

Double Cowgirl with Face‑Sitting (rotating focus): Receiver lies back. Penetrative partner sits upright and penetrates while the third gently face‑sits the receiver (through a condom/dam as appropriate). Rotate: face‑sitter becomes receiver; receiver swaps to penetrator (with clean/condom changes). Variants of double‑mounted positions and daisy‑chain‑style oral are noted in group‑sex position lists. 

Y‑Formation: Receiver lies back; penetrator kneels between legs; third lies at a 45° angle across the receiver’s torso for kissing/oral/stroking. The “Y” keeps all three connected and allows easy switches without losing momentum.

Side‑by‑Side Sprawl: All three lie on their sides facing the same way; penetrator behind receiver (spooning). Third faces receiver from the front for kisses, nipple play, or toy play. Gentle, low‑effort, inclusive.

B) Lesbian threesomes (FFF)

Penetration is optional; lesbian threesome positions often shine with oral, fingers, and toys.

The Daisy Chain (oral triangle): Arrange in a triangle so each person gives and receives oral simultaneously. This classic appears in many group‑sex glossaries and position roundups. Rotate clockwise to change whose body gets focus. 

Cuddle‑Stack with Wand: Stack like spoons: Partner A behind B, B behind C. A stimulates B’s clitoris with a wand while B fingers C. Swap every few minutes so everyone gets the wand’s deep, broad vibration. (Use barriers/gloves as preferred; switch gloves when switching partners.)

The Starfish Seat: C lies back, knees open. A sits across one thigh for kissing and nipple play; B kneels between C’s legs for oral or toy play. Swap: B and A trade roles; then C moves up top for face‑sitting while another takes the middle. This choreographs rotation so no one misses out.

Strap‑On Relay (optional gear): If toys are on the table, two wear harnesses and take turns penetrating while the third rests and receives oral/toy play. Keep toy bodies clean (condoms over toys are easy for quick swaps).

C) Mixed‑gender or MFM (two penis/strap + one receiver)

Face‑to‑Face Lift: Receiver wraps legs around Partner A’s waist (standing or sitting on the bed edge). Partner B kisses, holds, and uses a bullet or hand for clitoral/ perineal stimulation. All about eye contact and closeness—no intense angles required.

V‑Bench: Receiver on the bed with hips on the edge; Partners A and B kneel on the floor, one focused on oral, the other on breasts/neck/hands/toys. Swap every 90 seconds to keep attention fair.

The Bridge & Brackets: Receiver on hands and knees. Partner A penetrates from behind while Partner B kneels in front for kissing/hand/oral. Switch frequently to avoid anyone feeling like a “prop.” If you include double penetration in your fantasy, you’ll need extra lube, slow pacing, and strict condom‑switching; remember to change condoms between anal and vaginal acts. 

Research note: Dynamics vary; some women in MFM scenarios report finding it desirable when the men are also affectionate with each other—consistent communication reduces awkwardness. 

Micro‑moves that make any three way position better

• Count 1‑2‑3. Outside partners sync thrusts/kisses to the same count to avoid jarring motion.
• Pelvic tilts, not jackhammers. Small tilts make shared angles fit more bodies.
• Edge together. Cycle 60–90 seconds of stimulation with 10–15 second breath breaks; this heightens sensation and lets you swap roles smoothly.
• Hands talk. Squeeze, tap, or trace letters on skin as “non‑verbal” cues for faster/slower, softer/harder.

Safer‑sex checklist for threesomes

• Condom rules (again, because they matter): new condom for each partner, each act; switch condoms if switching from anal to vaginal; don’t double up internal+external condoms.
• Dental dams / cut‑open condoms for oral on vulvas or anuses as desired.
• Gloves for manual play (easy to swap between partners).
• Testing & talk. CDC emphasizes regular testing, vaccines where appropriate (HPV, Hep B), and risk‑reduction strategies. 
• Oral–anal caution. Avoid oral exposure to feces to reduce enteric infections.

Toy ideas that level up positions for threesomes

• Remote bullets let one person “conduct” intensity while everyone stays in place. See the Remote‑Controlled Bullet Vibrator for a discreet, trio‑friendly pick.
• Suction vibes (external) keep the “third” engaged during penetrative moves without crowding.
• Strap‑on harnesses for FFF or FFM let you mix oral with penetrative play—remember condoms over toys when swapping recipients.
• Lube station. Keep a pump bottle bedside; reapply often (especially for anal). Switch condoms after anal before any vaginal play. 

Sample scene scripts (so no one has to improvise)

The 10‑Minute Warm Welcome (FFF or FFM)

• All sit upright; each person takes one minute receiving only kisses + hands (rotate every minute).
• Add a bullet to the rotation; giver controls speed, receiver guides placement.
• Choose a position (Y‑Formation or V‑Bench), play for two minutes, then switch who’s the star.

The Carousel (any trio)

• Two minutes per focus partner: the non‑focus pair gives oral/hands/toys only.
• After each round, condom/dam refresh, water sip, and role swap.
• Finish with a position where all three have a job (Eiffel Tower, Daisy Chain, or Side‑by‑Side Sprawl). 

The Soft Landing

• Five-minute cooldown: cuddles, praise, water, snacks, check‑in (“one word check‑in: how do you feel?”).
• Plan a follow‑up text the next day—aftercare is part of the fun.

Quick reference: Position cheat‑sheet by vibe

• Tender & slow: Side‑by‑Side Sprawl, V‑Bench, Cuddle‑Stack
• Playful & oral‑heavy: Daisy Chain, V‑Bench with face‑sitting
• Showy & high‑energy: Eiffel Tower, Strap‑On Relay
• Toy‑forward: Cuddle‑Stack with Wand; Remote bullet in any penetrative setup

Final takeaways

• Plan first. Talk roles, limits, and protection; schedule a quick debrief after. WebMD and CDC echo the value of upfront communication and safer‑sex steps. 
• Rotate attention. Design mini‑scenes so each person is the star in turn.
• Choose body‑kind positions. Start with supportive angles that keep hands free; add toys to include everyone.
• Protect & refresh. New condoms for each partner and act; change between anal and vaginal; consider dams and gloves.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best 3 some positions for beginners?

Try low‑effort, high‑contact moves: Side‑by‑Side Sprawl, V‑Bench, or a gentle Y‑Formation. These keep hands free so the third person always has something to do. Build toward classics like the Eiffel Tower once you’ve synced up. 

What are good lesbian threesome positions without penetration?

The Daisy Chain (oral triangle) is a favorite; Cuddle‑Stack with Wand layers vibration with hand play. Rotate roles every minute so attention stays even. 

How do we avoid jealousy or awkwardness in a female threesome (FFM)?

Share motivations, agree on no surprises, and set a rotation plan. A pre‑scene script (who starts where, when to swap) reduces on‑the‑spot decisions. WebMD emphasizes planning and consent for smoother triad play. 

What protection do we need for a threesome?

Use new condoms for each partner and each type of sex; change condoms before switching from anal to vaginal; consider dental dams and gloves; and test regularly. CDC guidelines cover correct condom use and broader STI prevention. 

Are there specific three way positions with names we can look up?

Yes—Eiffel Tower, Daisy Chain, Double Cowgirl, and more appear in group‑sex position glossaries and mainstream health sites. Remember: names are fun, but comfort and consent matter most.
