Dear Hot Stuff,
Mayday! Mayday!
Went on holiday with a group of friends.
Stop.
Enjoyed a very long wine-tasting day. Stop.
Continued 'tasting' wine most of the evening.
Stop.
Had an accidental (but kind of amazing,) threesome with
my girlfriend and one of our male friends. Stop.
Breakfast was awkward and still have a whole week
to go. Dot dot dot.
What could I do to make my headache - and the unease -
Stop?

Dear Ménage-à-trois in Manchester,
Now that's the kind of saucy summer letter I like to read!
However I am curious, Ménage (this sounds rather like Nicki Minaj
so I'm just going to call you Nicki), how can a threesome be
accidental? It's the kind of thing we all joke about at some point
or another, but how many opportunities did you have to indeed stop,
and didn't? I'm going to say something that I hate to say, but the
fact that your group grope got seen through to the end, means that
deep down all three participants were ready and a tad too willing.
Yes, a little of the red stuff always helps, but it sounds to me
like this was something waiting to happen. Guilt gone?
Good.
Let's just take a quick inventory of the issues at hand here.
One, you were drunk and your inhibitions were, shall we say,
lubricated. Two, the people involved in your amicable little romp
were less than ideal candidates (never in a relationship) and one
of them was a boy. Three, the consequent awkwardness is the natural
fallout of such drunken shenanigans. For the headache, take an
ibuprofen.
Fantasies are lovely, aren't they? Some are made to be
fulfilled and some are nicer when restricted to that little voice
that we all keep under lock and key. But you've actually done
something that many couples would never dare! So r e s p e c t and
all that (sing it, it makes it better). I'm not going to lie, this
spicy little 'incident' is liable to cause issues in your
relationship at some point down the line, but at least you know
they will be issues that you (pro)created together (ho). Until
then, I strongly recommend that some chillax time be had and a
little thing called a conversation between the three of you,
followed by a tete a tete between you and your girl. It'll be
easier to handle any fall-out down the line if you discuss it
honestly now.
Speaking of the summit members, let's get on to this question of
the boy... Does this mean you have to question your sexuality or
that of your girlfriend, Nicki? No. Starships are meant to fly
after all and every experience is there for the taking or the
leaving. I actually find it rather healthy that it happened with a
friend. I recommend popping it in your memory box, checking it off
your bucket list, giggling to your mates about it, feeling bad if
you must, but above all, remembering what the very profound Robbie
Williams once said: no regrets. You did it, it's over, there's no
point in beating yourself up about it.
So, try keeping the red stuff to a minimum and sticking to your
own bedrooms for the rest of the holiday, ok? Who knows, maybe next
year you'll wake up with handcuffs on and tick another box on your
list! Exciting!
