Whenever she 1st questioned me basically'd be thinking about playing with the girl along with her heterosexual cis-male lover, I becamen't finding a three-way. I needed to understand more about sex with femme-presenting ladies.

We watched partners who looked-for thirds how many others perform, as shady and simply thinking about their increases – once the dreaded unicorn hunters.

But her message was actually friendly, and I also realized, ‘You need to?'

I experienced no experience with threesomes with bi-curious couples. I experienced merely come out a year before as a bisexual and polyamorous lady after hiding for quite some time, and jumping from 1 monogamous direct relationship to another.

Becoming bisexual brought the usual brands of being ‘dirty' for enjoying people sexually.

Being polyamorous and engaging in relaxed intercourse designed I was as well promiscuous, not mentally committed enough, and branded a cheater before we actually came across for a coffee.

Being plus-size with a body image/eating disorder merely increased the feelings of inadequacy and embarrassment for exactly who Im.

And whenever she messaged me personally, telling myself she believed I was breathtaking, and inquiring us to meet this lady and her lover for a glass or two and view how we felt, I got the possibility.

Two lips versus one, four arms versus two worshipped my body, and that I all of them. And also for the very first time in a very long time, we felt desired, attractive, and wished. And especially, I decided i possibly could at long last end up being me personally.

I am not a real unicorn when I'm maybe not solitary, intimately unique, nor thin.

My primary lover calls me a rainicorn as an alternative. I've found the expression charming as rainicorns (impressed by

Intimacy, personally, is but an excellent minute, a short night of passion without more objectives.

Anti-unicorn shopping is promoting from a need to emphasize the harms that many bisexual cisgender and femme-presenting ladies experience when they are hunted by lovers for potential three-ways. It frequently promotes throuple and triad situations instead one-off sexual encounters to ensure the rights of involved.

And I also have it. find bisexual women are frequently painted as promiscuous, sexual items, sexually experimental, hyper-sexual, and assumed as upwards for just about any and all of intercourse, including three-ways. Many being maltreated from this training of searching, and therefore are not reduced.

The thing is however, Im a lot of those things. Being a unicorn happens to be the best devote which these aspects of my identification being routinely colored as misconceptions about bisexual people are respected.

As feminist philosopher Ann Cahill suggests, never to be sexually objectified, such as for example regarding fat females, can be seen as being refuted a sexuality and authorization to enjoy enjoyment, something you should that I have sensed strongly for the majority of living.

Investing in this identity features allowed us to look for sexual fulfillment in a special collection of means, also to engage my hyper-sexuality, without reject it.

I am fed up with individuals speaking personally, let's assume that Im constantly vulnerable to exploitation from the sheer assumption of my bisexuality and femme-presenting sex. That getting hunted indicates Im usually victim. That i have to always want a deep, romantic, and continuous union with a couple as opposed to something informal.


W

hile we are colored as ‘rare', I think there is a lot more women at all like me in concealing. After all, precisely why would I or anybody would you like to come forward openly as a unicorn, when message boards and so on paint unicorn hunters as ‘disgusting' and just attempting to ‘spice right up their own boring sex resides'?

In which does that keep many of those exactly who enjoy becoming part of those dynamics while the hunted?

When shaming these lovers happens, we have been in addition shaming the unicorns just who do these techniques. The audience is generating the narrative in which bi-curious NSA three-ways are considered always inherently tricky encounters, and strengthening the notion that women only actually ever desire passionate link, that people cannot come to be interested in just sex.

We have to open up room and start to become mindful of this variety of sexual encounters. We may take part in various sexual techniques and involvements, and for many of us bi-women, being promiscuous, ready to accept NSA three-ways, and hyper-sexual, is certainly not an awful thing.

Neither is it a naturally negative representation of bisexuality more generally. After all, it's not the representation that is the problem, this is the method by which really weaponised.

Sadly, the anti-unicorn ‘community' has been doing a really okay task of pathologising me, and women at all like me, because we dare choose to accept elements of our selves which can be viewed as a ‘problem' by other individuals. Because we dare to get ‘bad' bisexuals.

I'm a bisexual ‘rainicorn'.

And I also do not similar to becoming hunted.

I fucking love it.
