Unicorn Hunting for Couples: What You Need to Know Before You Try

Unicorn hunting is a term used when a couple looks for a third person — usually a bisexual woman — to join their relationship. This is common in non-monogamous circles. But it’s not as easy as swiping right on an app. If you and your partner are thinking about this, there are things you need to know.

What Is Unicorn Hunting?

A “unicorn” is a single, bisexual woman willing to date both members of a couple. She must be open to being equally involved with both partners. Couples often look for a unicorn because they want a third person in their relationship without complications.

The problem? Real people aren’t fantasy creatures. Many unicorns feel objectified or used. Relationships need respect and balance, not just a wish list.

Why Do Couples Look for a Unicorn?

• Spice Up Their Relationship — Some couples want to add excitement to their love life.

• Fulfill Fantasies — Many see this as a way to act out sexual fantasies together.
• Have Their Cake and Eat It Too — They want a third person without the challenges of real polyamorous…
