A Threesome Is Manly's Distaff Counterpart. Also, the most common form of threesome... at least, it is in porn. When taken Up to Eleven, we'll have two other bisexuality tropes: Everyone Is Bi for girls and No Bisexuals for boys.
Unlike the guys in A Threesome Is Manly, the girls in A Threesome Is Hot will view themselves as bisexual quite easily. Also, this is the most common threesome out there, so Truth in Television.
No real life examples, please; This is All The Tropes, not Tropes After Dark.
Comic Books[]
- No threesomes, but two foursomes in the comics by Dori Seda.
- In Cry for Justice, Green Arrow congratulates Hal Jordon on the alleged threesome he had with Huntress and Lady Blackhawk. An issue of Birds of Prey had Black Canary ask Huntress about this, and Huntress reveals that Hal just got drunk and passed out, making this a combination Take That and Retcon.
- In Harley Quinn's series in The New 52, Harley has an Erotic Dream where she marries Bruce Wayne and invites Poison Ivy to the honeymoon.
- Doctor Strange (or rather, an alternate version of him) has done this twice. In Dark Avengers his alternate Reality counterpart (or maybe future counterpart - it's hard to say) did so with Clea and Tigra, while in New Avengers: ILLUMINATI # 3 he does so with Clea and Scarlet Witch. Note that even mainstream Clea is often depicted as... liberated as far as things like this go, so this is not much of a surprise.
Fan Works[]
- Degrassi the Next Generation fanfic writers seem to have a thing for Jay/Alex/Paige and all sorts of Sean threesome fantasies.
