Morning:

There is an exhibition for everything these days. I recently discovered a divorce fair scheduled for next year, and if there's a London event for breaking up, it's only appropriate that there's one for getting (very close) together, too.
It's called Erotica and this weekend at Kensington Olympia it's all about getting close with several people at once — in the Swingers Zone.
Apparently it will include “live entertainment” and a lounge to meet like-minded people. To find out just who those people are, I went to Westminster to ask if Londoners would ever consider a threesome or moresome.
Yes
Adam, 24, civil servant
I've had plenty of moresomes. I go on the internet and search for parties that are going on. It's a bit hit and miss because sometimes you turn up and there might be someone fat in the group.
No
Graham, 27, student
I find the idea quite repulsive. I imagine it's quite a sexy idea for some, but logistically and in reality it would be quite awkward and weird.
Yes
Graham, 41, property manager
I've never had the opportunity, but if the opportunity arose, then why not?
No
Simone, 28, in magazines
It's dirty, seedy and gross. Sex should be something that two people enjoy when they're in a relationship together.
Yes
Jay, 32, in PR
I know people who have done it, but I've had a lack of offers — or a lack of offers from the right sort of people.
No
Chris, 28, doctor
A couple of friends tried. At a party of mine they found this girl who wanted a threesome. They went back to hers, but she wanted them to have sex with each other first. They got scared and came back looking sheepish.
Yes
Jake, 26, in telecoms
Unfortunately the only proposition I've had was from two girls who looked pretty rough and probably were littered with diseases.
No
Alice, 28, in PR
In sixth form, two of my guy friends, who were best mates, tried to persuade me. I was having none of it.
No
Melvin, 23, unemployed
I've never had the chance, basically. If the offer came up I'm still not sure if I'd take it. It would depend on the situation, the people, everything.

Its so wonderful to be the sexy centre of attention of two ladies but I was not so keen when her husband joined in too.....

Keith - LOL! Nice to see a bit of self deprecating humour in amonst all the other "OH, I've done that loads of time and its always great" nonsense.
And as regards Adam the 24 year old civil servant, why would anyone consider a weedy, dull little civil servant to be as remotely desirable as any "fat person"?

For me, you can't beat a good onesome.

No. God intended for us to be married before sex and to one person of the other sex. besides, it can only lead to problems if a couple allows someone else in their bed. ive had friends do it and they found it empty.

In my final year studying drama at a North Country Polytechnic many years ago, in the post-show euphoria of a party, I linked up with two girls and had my only threesome back at my student lodgings. It was an exquisite experience, though, unfortunately, come the following morning, they obviously had sobered up and regretted it in the cold light of day and barely spoke to me again for the remainder of my final year.
