Enjoy threesomes and polyamory vicariously–without having to deal with the realtime drama–
in this queer collection of sexual encounters. As relationship models evolve, so does our art
and this shorts program pushes back on what heteronormativity believes a sexual experience
should look like. From laugh-out-loud humor to can't-believe-your-eyes twists, to genuine
emotional depth, these thrupple-themed shorts deliver it all.
