Thomas Fennemore and his partner Jonny were on holiday in Perth, Australia last May when they made eyes with a “gorgeous” stranger at their hotel.
“None of it was planned,” Thomas tell The Mirror.
“We were staying in the same hotel and came across him in the elevator and later logged into a local gay dating website to see if we could find him… and we did!”

After talking it over, Thomas and Jonny decided to ask the guy if he wanted to have a threesome.
“Jonny and I agreed he was good looking, and I ended up bumping into him again in the bar. One thing led to another and we had a threesome in our hotel room.”
And the rest, they say, is history.
“We thought it was just casual sex,” Thomas explains, “but it turned into a lot more than that.”
A whole lot more than that.
The guys exchanged numbers and stayed in contact, meeting a few months later for another threesome, before finally realizing the connection they shared was more than just a sexual one.

“We all had this underlying feeling that it would progress into something more,” Thomas says, “but none of us said it at first.”
“After Jonny and I saw Anthony again in July, we agreed we both liked him. It was weird when we admitted it, but communicating helped. By August 2018 we asked him if he wanted to date us.”
Anthony says he was just as surprised as Thomas and Jonny when he caught feelings for the two of them.
“At first, I was surprised they wanted me to date them, as it started as just casual sex,” he says. “But we spoke so much on the phone and when we met in person again the excitement only grew.”
“I’ve never been polyamorous before either and it never crossed my mind,” he continues. “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t expect it to be difficult, but it’s been smooth and we’re all happy.”
Now, the trio is considering the next steps in their relationship, which may include marriage.
“We haven’t had issues or arguments, so I can’t see a break-up looming,” Thomas says. “In fact, always having a third person makes little bickers easier to get over.”
“If either of us argue with each other, there’s always another person to go to and ask for help, or just a person to mediate and calm a situation, which works perfectly.”
“We all fulfill each other’s different needs and this is a new and exciting time,” Jonny says. “Luckily for us, it truly worked and we’re excited to see the next chapter of our lives.”

How exactly does marriage work with 3 people?

They looks very happy.
OzJosh
It doesn’t. Not legally anyway. Polygamous marriages are not allowed by law in both the UK and Australia.
Brian
It’s a given that it can’t be done legally, but I assume 2 of them would get legally married during the 3 way ceremony. So which 2? And how does the third not feel like the odd man out?
Or are they just going to have a meaningless ceremony and call it marriage?
Littlebum2002
Aren’t all marriages “meaningless ceremonies”? Why do you feel that going in front of a Justice of the Peace and having your ceremony be legal somehow is more legitimate than getting married by a friend?
Kangol
However they want it to. So long as it works for them, more power to them!
Brian
Because one gives you all the rights and benefits that being legally married brings and one is just your friend saying stuff. Not sure how you can’t see the difference.
Jboo
@Brian – I appreciate you. And also, I agree. Someone is going to be left out, bahahaha. Maybe they draw straws? What’s that TLC show – sisterwives? Maybe they’re going for brotherhusbands? Either way I won’t watch it. Their taste in pants is horrible.
jjose712
Sorry but i totally fail to understand the interest of this news.
Anyway if they are happy, good for them

It’s “news” because this website has no journalistic integrity, and Graham obviously has a bone for them, so because of that it makes the website. Just wait, within a month there will be yet ANOTHER “scientific” article nor REDDIT post about heterosexual men fooling around with one another, which will then be turned into an extremely shallow and vapid article by Mr. Gremore.
So much #winning

Why are all the happy poly stories when they basically just met?
Show me them in a year and then let’s talk.
Brian
Hey, Frankie Grande lasted 3 months in his. If that’s not proof of success, I don’t know what is.
QueerTruth
Brian,
Riiight? LOL. Just like Frank’s story about his poly ending was followed by this kinda random story being published the next day is just a coincidence too. 😉
DCguy
Of COURSE things are going well, the couple lives in England and the 3rd lives in Australia.
But since Frankie Grande broke up that means Queerty has to find ANOTHER Throuple to write an article about.
Get back to us in 5 years if they’re still together.
QueerTruth
Mic drop…
You nailed it.

“We were staying in the same hotel and came across him in the elevator and later logged into a local gay dating website to see if we could find him… and we did!” Nothing says true love by looking for a hookup on Grindr with your partner.
GetOffMyInternet
Just be careful and don’t criticize the editorial content. Criticism of anything written is a no no, but it’s ok for the writers to criticize any and everything.
Polaro
Be happy.

Every thruple I have known has ended up breaking up after about a year or less, splitting into a couple and one person on the outs. And it usually started with a couple adding a third, but then one of the original couple ending up in a couple with the new person, not his original partner. So good luck.
surreal33
Yes, it is possible love more than one person especially if you are honest.
jcoberkrom
While the idea of a thruple is a nice one. There is always an odd man out. Eventually the third wheel drops out or is pushed.
Calin
My husband and I were in a thruple relationship, it lasted for six years, it was fantastic, we are still best friends with him. If you are jealous, shallow, drama queen, cheap, insensitive, and selfish, don’t try this at home.
batesmotel
More weirdness with the gays.
Toofie
Funny Queery had to look to Australia to find a thriving throuple…
Woody
I don’t care personally, they seem happy. But it only seems natural that you’d gravitate to one more than the other which might cause problems.
lovethyneighbor
The truth is they are the ones responsible for their happiness. Sometimes, these things work and most generally, they end in a bad way. I’d never embrace polyamory because it’s unfair to others, who make bring a wholesome relationship to the odd man out.
Marriage is fulfilling if you just understand the truth about most men: 1. They have an innate primal urge to breed; 2. Men need to feel free to have variety; 3. No one gets hurt because of the honesty and openness factor; and 4. Men are always on prowl for the next exciting sexual experience.
My husband and I have been together 16+ years and married for almost 6. We didn’t have a big wedding or reception, but got married at the Alameda Courthouse in Oakland, CA with two witnesses, who were a lesbian couple with their granddaughter they were raising. They waited with us for 3 hours. They are forever in our hearts as is their granddaughter.
We would have loved a nice wedding and reception on the beach, but no money=no elaborate celebration. We are an older couple with hardly no gay friends, so that’s the luck of the draw. We love each other unconditionally, but he needs his side desserts while I ate plenty in my 20s that I prefer being monogamous because of all the disease risks even being on Truvada. At the end of the day, all that matters is he loves me 100% and vice versa, and he comes home to me. He is loving, tender, and affectionate to me 99% of the time. The truth is that I would trade him for anything in the world.

With all due respect…. Oh please. That’s archaic and sexist. Men and women all have desires. It is about using your free will and making choices that work for you and your partner. None of the above are innate or should be just accepted. Challenge yourself and strive for better. You’re a man, not an animal.
