Unicorn Hunting Defined
- Unicorn hunting usually refers to couples seeking a bisexual woman who is attracted to both partners exclusively.
- This dynamic inherently involves problematic power imbalances and differs from triads where all three engage equally.
Clarify Motivations First
- Couples should clarify why they want to add a third person before pursuing it.
- Understanding motivations helps in choosing the right approach, whether emotional or just sexual.
Set Clear Relationship Expectations
- Be clear if you want an ongoing romantic relationship or just a casual sexual threesome.
- Match your expectations upfront to avoid emotional harm to all parties.
