What is your first threesome actually like—and how do you lead one as a Dom without anyone feeling left out, uncomfortable, or pressured?In this conversation, @Andy_Wells and I talk candidly about our experiences with threesomes: what we got wrong in the beginning, what we’ve learned after having more experience, and how to create an experience where all three people feel safe, desired, and included.We cover everything from navigating jealousy and couple’s privilege to performance anxiety, consent, communication, and the practical logistics of leading two submissives at once. We also talk about why real threesomes usually look nothing like porn—and why that’s a good thing.Most importantly, a great threesome isn’t about perfectly executing a fantasy. It’s about three actual people—with their own desires, boundaries, insecurities, and needs—creating something together.---👉 Join Community: https://www.brandonthedom.com/red-room👉 Get Coaching: https://www.brandonthedom.com/coaching👉 Dom Course: https://www.brandonthedom.com/developing-dominance---TIMESTAMP CHAPTERS:(00:00) - What We’re Talking About: Threesomes (00:44) - Learning How to Have a Threesome (03:14) - Making Sure Both Women Feel Safe (05:04) - What Being With Another Woman Is Actually Like (09:49) - Consent & Communication With Three People (12:03) - Why Threesomes Require More Communication (15:11) - How to Structure Your First Threesome (17:52) - Making Sure Nobody Feels Left Out (19:10) - Why Threesomes Aren’t Like Porn (24:16) - When Nobody Knows What to Do (26:05) - Your First Threesome Doesn’t Need to Be Sexy (27:58) - The Scarcity Mindset & Trying to Do Too Much (29:28) - Is Your Relationship Ready for a Threesome?

What does it actually mean to surrender in a Dom/sub relationship—and is the submissive really the only person surrendering?In this conversation, I sit down with  @Andy_Wells to explore surrender, dominance, submission, trust, vulnerability, and what it actually takes to create a D/s dynamic where someone feels safe enough to let go.We challenge the idea that being a Dom means always being strong, certain, in control, or having all the answers. Instead, we talk about how honesty, competence, communication, self-awareness, and the willingness to receive can make someone a stronger Dominant.We also get into why some highly independent, capable people are drawn to submission; how to gradually build trust instead of demanding it; the difference between confidence and pretending to know what you're doing; why both Doms and subs need boundaries; and how sustainable power exchange is built together over time.---👉 Join Community: https://www.brandonthedom.com/red-room👉 Get Coaching: https://www.brandonthedom.com/coaching👉 Dom Course: https://www.brandonthedom.com/developing-dominance---TIMESTAMP CHAPTERS:(00:00) - Intro (00:30) - What Does Surrender Really Mean?
