Couple who tried experimenting with threesome explain how it ended up going badly wrong
I think we can all agree we all have our own sexual fantasies.
While we might not be all Christian Gray, even the most vanilla of people like to spice things up here and there.
And this is exactly what happened to one London couple who wanted to experiment in the bedroom.
Rachel and Nick have been together for ten years, eight of which they've been married, and as Nick approached his 40th birthday, his wife decided to get him something you can't pick up at your local Bloomingdales - a threesome.

While it was arranged for Nick's birthday, a threesome can prove beneficial for all parties involved.
"I’d once kissed another girl years ago in my student days; I never doubted I was ‘straight’ but having a proper grown-up sexual experience with a woman was something I’d always wanted to try," Rachel told The Telegraph.
"Forty is one of those milestones that make you feel like doing something risqué and a bit wild before we become decrepit. And if I’m honest, I also wanted Nick to think what a ‘cool’ wife I was. I quite liked the thought of him boasting to friends about how liberated we were."
So Rachel managed to convince a friend of hers, who went under the pseudonym of Rosa in the article. While things were all going to plan, Rachel started feeling something she hadn't accounted for - jealousy.
She said things started to 'feel like a competition'.
"[Nick] seemed so much better at pleasing her than I was," Rachel explained.
"I wasn’t prepared for him to be sort of… outperforming me. It felt like she was lapping it up and wasn’t terribly interested in me.
"I do realise she probably thought the whole point was for his benefit, but I didn’t enjoy feeling left out."
Rachel also realised she didn't know how to please a woman herself, and labelled herself as 'squeamish' when it came down to giving oral sex to Rosa.
"In my head it was so sexy, but the reality was more awkward, clumsy and weird," Rachel went on.
She noted that post-sex is a pretty awkward time as well as she was keen for Rosa to leave quickly so she could put the bedding in the wash.
Their sexual escapades also sparked some arguments between Nick and Rachel, with Rachel left wondering if her husband fantasies about Rosa.
"I don’t regret my threesome as it was on my bucket list, so to speak, but it wasn’t the simple wild, liberating act I’d anticipated," she concluded.
