It just blows my mind when I think about the finding the right person/s. Too big a risk -EVEN FOR THIS RISK TAKER!!! You know what I mean- I'm sure!
Someone, at some point in time during the "fun", has to feel like the fat, ugly kid sittin on the sidelines during a threesome. How do ya stop and make sure everyone is staying "happy"? lol
Yeah, I tend to believe that there are certainly risks, emotional and physical. I completely empathize with what you are saying. It is very valid and thoughtful.
I would think that clear communication between all parties and especially between you and your SO about what is acceptable, what is not, how to call it off if not going well, what conditions it takes to proceed, if doing that sort of thing is good for your relationship, if both people in the relationship are really OK with it, if the risks are worth it, etc... would help ward off the "fat kid on the sideline" syndrome.
I would imagine that this isn't an area that you would "take one for the team" -- in other words, do something at the expense of your feelings and morals for the sake of what you perceive to be your partner's happiness/indulgence.
I also believe that the bonds of marriage are a very sacred and special thing, and that the marriage itself should be protected above the interest of any individual in the marriage. If there is even an inkling that this type of activity would be damaging to the marriage, then it should not be considered.
Human emotions and relationships can be very fragile things. Sometimes, it's best not pushing the envelope.
