Playboy Advisor: A Very Messy Threesome

Question: Last year a beautiful young lady moved in across the street. It did not take my bisexual wife long to get her into our bed, and for the past 10 months we have invited her over nearly every weekend. A few months ago our son happened to take a job in the same building where our friend works, and they started dating. As the relationship got more serious, we stopped -playing. Our son doesn’t know his mom is bi, nor that we are swingers and were screwing his -girlfriend and possible future wife. How do we handle this?—J.J., San Antonio, Texas

Answer: Delicately. You were right to stop playing but should have done so sooner. We’re ­curious—did your friend want to stop? There are a lot of startling secrets here (e.g., “Son, your mother and I have both fucked your girlfriend”), and he may develop a twitch hearing them all at once. We suggest you start with the relatively easy reveal: Tell him you’re swingers, and get that off the table. Leave the rest for later—or never. If your ex-lover reveals the romps, your son will freak out, but at least he’ll be less surprised by the idea. You also have a defense: It all happened before they began dating. We’ll give you a pass on that white lie; we know how hard it can be to drop a quality threesome.
