Aroused by warmer weather and emboldened by the new ménage à trois movie “Challengers”, many Manhattanites are setting their sights on a threesome this summer. “I wonder if it’s drilling threesomes into our subconscious,” a New Yorker said of the steamy sports drama that has already grossed $80 million at the global box office. “Challengers,” starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist, details a love triangle between a trio of tennis players—with the trailer showing the lead actress sharing a three-way kiss with her two male co-stars on the edge of a bed.
The risqué movie has inspired thousands of social media memes and even prompted one pundit to declare 2024 as “The Summer of the Threesome.” Searches for threesomes has surged 119% in the past two years—and many are praising “Challengers” for making the sexual scenario mainstream. “It gets slutty in summer,” a resident said of the city’s sexual energy—saying horny, hedonistic locals buck convention and defy labels when the weather gets warm.
