Hollyoaks will soon air a steamy throuple storyline – and actress Jorgie Porter has dubbed it as ‘weird’.
Speaking to the Daily Star at the BAFTA TV awards at the weekend, Jorgie revealed that her character – Theresa McQueen – finds herself in a bit of a triangle-shaped situation.
Jorgie teased: “There’s a love triangle scenario and a kind of throuple situation. Apparently, that’s quite a cool thing now isn’t it and people are into that kind of thing.

“It’s weird, it’s awkward and you’re not swapping per se but you are kissing each other in a way. It’s probably like being in a throuple to be fair.”

But, is getting another body in the mix such an odd concept? Although she said it’s weird, Jorgie did acknowledge that a throuple is seen as a “cool thing” nowadays – and she’s certainly not wrong there.
We spoke with dominatrix and screen commentator Mistress Valentina about what she thinks of the popular Channel 4 soap airing a three-way storyline. And, apparently, it’s very on-trend in real life.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, Valentina explained: “The idea of a soap like Hollyoaks exploring a storyline based on polyamory and throuple relationships is really exciting!
“Opening up your relationship to a third person by having a threesome is really common these days and polyamory is becoming less of a taboo in society now, but the idea of having multiple partners in a relationship is still quite unusual.”

However, hopeless romantic Theresa might be in for quite the ride, being at the centre of the ‘throuple’ storyline that will be aired in the coming months.
Valentina warned that there are some big negatives when it comes to welcoming another lover into the mix. She explained that the dynamics of a three-way relationship or a threesome have the habit of “falling apart quite quickly.”
So fingers crossed Theresa doesn’t face the same fate…
The dominatrix continued: “The biggest negative is that if there is any lapse in communication it can very quickly cause hurt between the people involved and escalate into a massive problem.

“Throuple dynamics have a habit of falling apart quite quickly if the people involved are not entirely sure what they’re doing or what they want, for example if the woman is just trying to please a man by allowing a second woman into the relationship.
“However, if all the people involved are consenting and know what they’re getting themselves into and want it, it can be a mutually beneficial way to explore and fulfil everyone’s interests sexually and otherwise.”
But, what are the benefits of being in a throuple if the structure can come crashing down in an instant?
Well, if emotions and the lack of communication don’t get in the way, then a throuple can really spice up a relationship.

In regards to real-life throuples, the dominatrix shared: “Some of the benefits of being in a throuple include being able to get different needs satisfied from the two different partners, such as if one enjoys something and another doesn’t.
“Obviously being in a multiple-partner relationship or polyamorous relationship in general isn’t a kink itself, but it can lean towards certain kinks such as cuckolding, bisexual play and certain BDSM dynamics.
“The closest I’ve been to being in a throuple relationship was when I was dominant to a man who had a submissive girlfriend and we were all involved with each other at the time.
“Personally, I found that situation was really good for everyone involved because we all knew what we wanted to get out of it…”
