The Threesome Christian Review
Not every temptation comes with horns and fangs. Sometimes, the most dangerous snares look like pleasure, freedom, and fun. The Threesome is one of those films that doesn’t rely on ghosts or demons to unsettle you — it reveals the very real battle of the human heart when lust takes center stage.
The story follows a young man who has carried a long-standing crush that leads him into what he believes is the ultimate fantasy: a spontaneous threesome. At first glance, it seems like his dream has finally come true — passion, desire, and the thrill of indulgence. But as the Bible so clearly says in Proverbs 14:12, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.”
What starts as excitement quickly spirals into something heavier. When the fantasy ends, all three characters are left with sobering consequences. The film portrays the awkward silence after the adrenaline fades, the brokenness of misplaced intimacy, and the painful weight of choices that cannot be undone.
From a Christian perspective, The Threesome becomes more than just a provocative story — it becomes a mirror. In 1 Corinthians 6:18, Paul warns: “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.” This movie illustrates that truth vividly. The wounds of lust don’t just scar relationships — they cut into identity, self-worth, and the soul itself.
What makes the film impactful is not that it glorifies desire, but that it exposes the aftershock. The emptiness. The guilt. The silence that follows the noise. In that silence, the characters are forced to reckon with responsibility, accountability, and the truth that pleasure without love, and intimacy without covenant, leaves only brokenness.
But there’s also hope hidden here. The story doesn’t end in despair; it carries a faint whisper of redemption. Romans 8:1 says: “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Even in the aftermath of sin, there is a way forward — through forgiveness, repentance, and grace.
In a world that glamorizes hookups and normalizes lust, The Threesome is an uncomfortable but necessary reminder: our bodies are not toys, our hearts are not disposable, and intimacy is sacred.
The scariest part of this film isn’t the act itself — it’s realizing how easily any of us could fall into the same trap when we confuse love with lust. But the good news is, Jesus always offers a way out before sin consumes us.
“The fantasy fades, but the consequences remain. Only grace can redeem what lust has broken.”
