DWC 086: Conscious Threesoming with Sydney Rousseau

LISTEN ON: Spotify & Apple

Have you ever fantasized about watching your partner engage in sex with someone else? What emotions and thoughts did it invoke?

Driven by curiosity to understand this taboo experience, Christina posed the question in the Esther Perel Discussion Group on Facebook.

Among all the responses, one by Sydney Rousseau caught her attention, "Ooh! Yes please! I am highly visual when it comes to sex. Watching my partner with another woman was so erotic for me. I got to see (and admire) him from a different perspective. His facial expressions, his touch, all of it, was such a turn on. I don’t know if I can even put it into words. His confidence with another woman was empowering and intoxicating. My trust level with him soared through the ceiling in that moment. Just talking about it is making my heart pound out of my chest!"

Intrigued and somewhat aroused by Sydney's revelation, Christina invited her to delve deeper into her experiences. The resulting conversation is a candid exploration of erotic fantasies and personal yet often taboo subjects.
