This post continues the sex oldies series, begun about two posts down. This is another one of my favorites. It speaks to one of peoples’ hottest and most persistent fantasies: three-way sex. It’s from a series I did for the Seattle-based website Sexuality.org, which is connected with something called the Sex Positive Community Center or SPCC, also called The Wet Spot. This is sort of the local YMCA of sex, in downtown Seattle; there are some cool things in that somewhat odd city: another tale.
Looking to today’s astrology, we see a picture of this theme in a triple grouping of planets, Venus, Chiron and Neptune, in Aquarius. Venus brings the desire/beauty element, Chiron brings the healing/awareness element, Neptune brings the fantasy element and Aquarius brings the group element.
The conjunction we’ve lived through the past three days is over — Sun conjunct Nessus. That was the big question mark hanging over so much. Venus-Chiron-Neptune is more of a big yes, including yes to the places our desire has been hurt and where we seek to heal and be real. When we talk about this concept of ‘sexual healing’, the notion is ambiguous to many; and it has a different meaning to everyone. Yet we all share a common thread of light, which is seeking the freedom to desire what we want, free of guilt. This is an attribute of self-acceptance, since desire is a core attribute of self.
As for three-way sex. Most of us want it at some time. Mixed Emotions talks about the transition from the fantasy to the reality. The context in this article is male-female sex, with the introduction of a third element. For lesbian, gay and/or trans couples, it will not be that different than what I am describing below; perhaps simpler, in some ways, since the element of homophobia has been addressed — but there is always heterophobia to experiment with!
