Honestly, there could be a five-part miniseries on this topic, because there are at least TWENTY-FIVE massive things that threesome porn gets wrong. and in turn people get wrong about real-life threesomes.
That being said, there are things that can be learned from threesome porn. As long as you understand the difference between what fun and games are accessible to the average joe and jane, and what is being done by extreme sexual professionals with hardcore pain thresholds and severely untraditional boundaries. Don’t attempt some triple penetration scene just because it looks hot!
Threesome porn sells fantasies and many fantasies are extrapolations of the truth, not the truth itself.

There is some porn that definitely treads the line between mainstream cinema and sexual celluloid, and this stuff is sometimes great to show people the more realistic sexuality that is possible between consenting adults. The weird discrepancy is how extreme each side of cinema can get to reinforce their stereotypes.
Hollywood often pretends like it’s damn near impossible for people to make a threesome ever happen, like most guys would never have any luck with the women they’d want threesomes with, and that women never want threesomes or initiate them unless the men do first. Conversely, porn can often seem like threesomes are the easiest events in the world to arrange, like it’s just one phone call away!
What Porn Gets Wrong about Threesomes
1. Threesome Porn Never Shows Consent, Communication, or Negotiation
Threesomes in professional porn, require A LOT of communication. Porn cuts that all out. Sadly. There is A LOT of paperwork and preparation and a bunch of non-sexy stuff that doesn’t make it on camera. Don’t get it twisted, porn is pretty real, just like wrestling. “Gravity is very real!” said Diamond Dallas Page. And no matter what people say, porn is real like penetration is real and contact is real.
So just because you don’t see couples and thirds discussing boundaries in porn, don’t ever skip it in real life.

2. Threesome Porn Makes It Look Pretty
It’s not easy to always get the right angle so the action is visible. Porn makes it look like that is important. IT’S NOT! That’s a very underrated and underappreciated part of making threesome porn: doing what it takes to make sure the body parts are up-close and personal.
Real threesomes have NO need to be all open pelvis and what not, and can be sloppy and romantic, tight and messy, wild and disjointed. It doesn’t have to look pretty in real life threesomes, as long as everyone is enjoying themselves. In porn, it’s all about the look.
3. Threesome Porn Never Shows the Mistakes
The magic of editing is being able to remove any unwanted segments of action. But the truth is, every threesome has awkward moments where things get weird, where someone burps or farts, or a condom breaks, or someone falls over while taking their pants off, or any other weird thing in the book of life!
It’s misleading to make people think threesomes are some well-oiled machine of pleasure with six arms and six legs. No! It’s a drunk double octopus trying to learn itself better. Let weird shit happen. We’re all human.

4. Threesome Porn Doesn’t Follow Safe Sex Protocols
Straight up, porn is dangerous in the way it shows men putting dicks in every hole, and then the same non-condom dicks in the NEXT hole and then next asshole! There is a standard of safety protocol that favors using protection that is different for each hole you penetrate, but that kind of safety is damn near NEVER used in threesome porn, and that is probably the MAIN practice in porn that I would highly suggest not following.
Those people are tested lik crazy and have put their bodies through A LOT to be able to get away with that, but they still shouldn’t be doing what they’re doing. Just wear condoms in threesomes and bring extras for the extra stuff you will be doing! Better safe than sorry.
5. Porn Doesn’t Show Post-Coital Bliss and Conversation
There is almost no threesome porn that films the actors talking and just being normal after the shoot. Threesome porn is just wham-bam-thank-you-for-the-cam-ma’am. You just don’t see people shower together or clean up, but that’s a real part of threesomes that can’t be ignored. It’s a healthy way to end the sexy times and plant seeds for future get togethers.
So take your time to connect and communicate with your threesome partners when all is said and done! Don’t just get up, wipe your genitals, and walk away like they do in so many crass porn movies. Be the better person, and be the best porn star YOU can be!
