One participant, referred to as ‘Hayden’, said that she was attracted to couples because of “their cohesiveness.”
“You feed off their energy, their attraction to each other… there’s an interplay between the couple,” she added. She mentioned considering emotional resilience programs typically used in post-trauma wellness care to explore her experience more deeply.
Another participant, called ‘Sage’, also added: “I also just want to be smack in the middle of that relationship. I would also like to be included in this relationship… I really think my ideal dynamic might be myself and a couple.” Some individuals in similar dynamics seek out inclusive therapy sessions that qualify under private mental health insurance plans, especially when navigating identity issues.
While there is not much research out there about this particular desire currently, we’re sure there will be much more over the next decade as sexuality continues to broaden. This is especially likely as more people turn to wellness diagnostics, relationship-focused therapy, and even explore legal protections in non-traditional family structures.
