Whenever she first asked me easily’d want to consider playing with their along with her heterosexual cis-male lover, I wasn’t looking a three-way. I desired to explore intercourse with femme-presenting women.

We watched partners who looked for thirds ways many others carry out, as questionable and only contemplating their own benefits – just like the feared unicorn hunters.

But her information was actually type, and I also figured, ‘you will want to?’

I had no experience with threesomes with bi-curious lovers. I got merely come out per year prior as a bisexual and polyamorous woman after hiding for several years, and leaping in one monogamous direct link to the second.

Becoming bisexual delivered the most common brands of being ‘dirty’ for enjoying gents and ladies intimately.

Getting polyamorous and doing relaxed gender intended I became as well promiscuous, not mentally loyal enough, and branded a cheater before we actually found for a coffee.

Getting plus-size with a body image/eating condition merely enhanced the thoughts of inadequacy and pity for whom i’m.

Then when she messaged me personally, telling myself she believed I happened to be beautiful, and asking us to fulfill their and her spouse for a glass or two and see the way we felt, we took the possibility.

Two mouths in place of one, four fingers as opposed to two worshipped my body system, and I them. And also for the first-time in a really while, I thought desired, appealing, and wished. And first and foremost, I felt like i really could finally be me.

U

nicorn looking
is
an expression that describes
partners, normally cisgender, bi-curious people, seeking a third to become listed on them for intimate play. This
3rd
, aptly known as the
‘unicorn’
when it comes down to seen rareness of their presence, is actually preferably a cisgender, lean, femme-presenting bisexual or bi-curious woman, one that is actually unmarried, delighted for No Strings connected (NSA) plans, and additionally be sexually unique using the couple.

I am not a real unicorn as I’m not solitary, intimately unique, nor thin.

My primary companion phone calls myself a rainicorn instead. I have found the definition of endearing as rainicorns (determined by

Adventure Time

) appear in all types of tints, shapes, and characters. I thrive on getting a 3rd for couples, bringing their particular intimate dreams to life without having the added strings of a difficult attachment. I simply take fantastic pleasure in becoming the thing both desire.

Intimacy, in my situation, may be but a great moment, a short nights enthusiasm with no further objectives.

Anti-unicorn searching is rolling out from a need to highlight the harms that many bisexual cisgender and femme-presenting ladies experience if they are hunted by lovers for potential three-ways. It typically promotes throuple and triad conditions instead one-off intimate encounters to ensure the legal rights of all of the involved.

And that I get it. Bisexual ladies are typically painted as promiscuous, sexual items, intimately fresh, hyper-sexual, and believed to-be upwards regarding and all of sexual activity, including three-ways. Many happen maltreated through this rehearse of searching, hence can’t be reduced.

The thing is however, i will be almost all of those ideas. Being a unicorn is the one and only set in which these components of my identity being consistently coated as myths about bisexual people are appreciated.

Just like the feminist philosopher Ann Cahill suggests, not to be sexually objectified, such in the example of fat females, is seen as being refuted a sexuality and permission to savor delight, one thing to that I have actually thought highly in most of my life.

Embracing this identification has enabled me to look for intimate fulfillment in a unique group of methods, in order to engage my hyper-sexuality, instead of reject it.

I am sick of people speaking for me, making the assumption that I will be always in danger of exploitation about pure idea of my personal bisexuality and femme-presenting gender. That being hunted indicates i’m constantly prey. That I must always wish a deep, romantic, and continuous union with a couple of instead of one thing relaxed.

W

hile we’re coated as ‘rare’, i believe there could be even more ladies just like me in covering up. Most likely, why would I or any individual desire to appear onward publicly as a unicorn, when user discussion forums and so on paint unicorn hunters as ‘disgusting’ and just attempting to ‘spice up their particular dull or boring gender everyday lives’?

In which really does that keep those of us exactly who enjoy becoming element of those dynamics due to the fact hunted?

Whenever shaming these lovers happens, we are in addition shaming the unicorns which participate in these techniques. We’re generating the story which bi-curious NSA three-ways are regarded as always inherently challenging experiences, along with strengthening the idea that women just actually desire romantic connection, that individuals cannot possibly be interested in simply sex.

We must open up space and stay mindful of range of intimate experiences. We might practice a variety of intimate procedures and involvements, as well as some of us bi-women, getting promiscuous, ready to accept NSA three-ways, and hyper-sexual, is certainly not a poor thing.

Nor is it an inherently adverse representation of bisexuality much more generally. Most likely, it is not the representation that is the problem, simple fact is that manner in which truly weaponised.

Sadly, the anti-unicorn ‘community’ is doing a damn okay task of pathologising myself, and women anything like me, because we dare decide to embrace aspects of our selves that are seen as a ‘problem’ by other individuals. Because we dare as ‘bad’ bisexuals.

I am a bisexual ‘rainicorn’.

And I you should not just like being hunted.

I fucking love it.
