Only intimacies of two are regarded as proper. Usually intimacies of three are not only considered improper; they are considered impossible. Very rarely is an unbiased experimental effort made to discover the possibilities of intimacies of three. Even where participants are genuinely free of contrary overt social pressure, there is usually fear of possible social disapproval---or of disapproval by conscience, introjected social judgment. In the rare cases where there is no fear, the participants may exclude various possibilities from consideration, because of an introjected social view that the possibilities are impossible; and so no effort is made to seek to fulfill those possibilities. It is unlikely that three people will become intimate with each other equally in parallel. It is more likely that an intimacy of two will develop first, followed by the development of intimacy between one of the two and a third person. In such a situation the participants are usually regarded as individuals in competition, rather than as a union of two opening itself by the inclusion of a third. If either union in called into question, there may develop a competition between the two intimacies of two which involve one participant in common. For whichever union is in question, the common person's tolerance is likely to generate indifference; this occasions infidelity in the sense of failing to continue to deepen the questioned union. If neither union is called into question, there may develop three intimacies of two, corresponding to the three ways that the three participants may be paired as one-plus-one. The whole may be more than the some of the parts, especially if the original intimacy of two is a union which opens fully to the inclusions of the third participant. There is the possibility that each participant may relate to the union of the other two participants as a whole as an intimacy of two---rather then to each of the others as an isolated individual. Thus, there may be three intimacies of two- united-plus-one, as well as three intimacies of one-plus- one. The union of all these may be an intimacy of three---with possibilities for mutual awareness and mutual understanding which have rarely been explored, because most intimate relationships are culturally required to be exclusive.
