Amateur
What 'pro-am' actually means (and how it's different from amateur)

The MFM threesome rules couples forget — from the guy in the middle of it
I shoot MFM scenes for a living and I'm often the visiting third in them, so I see what couples under-prepare from the inside: the husband's real role, the contact rules between the men, the awkward arrival, and the aftercare that includes the third.
