THRICE DREAM

New York Mag Profiles Gay-Porn-Producing Thruple

Just when we thought the mainstream media had fished out every angle on porn, Molly Young take a fresh look at throupledom for New York magazine’s sex issue with a profile of Jason, Adrian and Benjamine (nee Benny Morecock), the polyamorous founders of the porn site CockyBoys.com (NSFW)

In “He, He and He,” Young paints a picture of unconventional bliss that both defies convention and appears, quite honestly, as about as conventional as an evolving relationship can be: “Their throuplehood is more-or-less a permanent domestic arrangement,” she writes. “The three men work together, raise dogs together, sleep together, miss one another, collect art together, travel together, bring each other glasses of water, and, in general, exemplify a modern, adult relationship.”

Given their line of work, we sort of half-expect a lifestyle rife with sexual adventure and scandal. (“Well, I heard there was a midget and a barracuda!”) To hear about their union in such mundane terms leaves you wondering if there is a story at all.

“It is important, perhaps, that each pair within the throuple has a private bond: Jason and Adrian have their history, Jason and Benny work together, and Benny and Adrian are close in age. Benny tells me there is zero jealousy among the three… Sometimes there are pangs of jealousy over guys outside of the relationship. But that, Benny says, is rare.”

To dismiss these cocky boys with a condescending tut-tut misses the larger point: Adrian, Jason and Benjamine—a former Bumble and bumble stylist—are forging a new dynamic and, once again, thrusting gays into the forefront of what defines a relationship. If that gives some people pause, oh well. The French have been indulging in ménages à trois for centuries and it doesn’t seem to have sped up the demise of their culture.
