Love triangle redirect[edit]
Is a love triangle really the same as a ménage à trois? The way I understand it is that nothing physical has to happen in a love triangle but the latter is all about the physicalities of the three people together. Perhaps it deserves a seperate mention/article? violet/riga (t) 19:30, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I agree that there should be some mention of this. Perhaps you should add it?
Licence to Kill[edit]
I removed this entry, because it seems unlikely (though I don't remember the movie well enough to be sure). It's only a Ménage à trois if everybody concerned agrees with what's going on (just because you find your boyfriend has slept with your best friend that doesn't make you part of a Ménage à trois).
- Licence to Kill (1989)
- Actors involved: Timothy Dalton, Carey Lowell and Talisa Soto

Ménage à trois vs. threesome[edit]
I agree with the below that the two things are not the same but they are in the same article so I have added a section on threesomes within it.
Given that "ménage à trois" means "household of three", shouldn't the article describe it as more of a "romantic relationship involving three people" or a "domestic relationship involving three people"? Despite the popular usage, is it appropriate to identify ménages à trois with sexual threesomes? (anon)
- Yeah, I always thought it referred to situations like Erwin Schrödinger's - he, his wife and his mistress lived in the same house - even if it is unknown whether sexual threesomes take place. RMoloney 02:30, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- My dictionary (concise OED) says a ménage à trois is an arrangement in which a married couple and the lover of one of them live together - and it lists no alternative meanings. So, if there are no objections from Seinfeld fans, I suggest that the bulk of the copy of the article as it is be used to form a distinct 'Threesome' article, and 'Ménage à trois' be rewritten appropriately.
