Is it throuple’s therapy?
No therapist? No problem. A Brazilian social media star claims she beat depression by having two partners — with plans to add a third man-tidepressant to the mix.
“I don’t have depression anymore,” gushed Lary Ingrid — known as Larissa — while describing her unorthodox mental health remedy on Se Liga VM show on the channel TV Verdes Mares, Jam Press reported.
The 27-year-old is simultaneously involved with two men, Ítalo Silva, 25, and João Victor, 18, with whom she shares a daughter and a son respectively.
The singer frequently shares updates about their romantic trifecta with her 1.9 million followers on TikTok.
Ingrid, who also has over 360,000 Instagram followers, had reportedly met Silva eight years ago with the idea that they’d be starting a standard relationship.
However, things took a turn after her beau suggested they have fun with other romantic partners, planting the seeds for a polyamorous arrangement.
Ingrid accepted her hubby’s terms, and opted to choose childhood friend Victor for the third member of their marriage à trois.
“I’ve known João since I was a child. He used to live next door to my mum, but he left and I remained good friends with his mother,” described Silva of her attraction to the budding stud. “When he came back, this handsome guy wanted to kiss me, so we kissed and here we are today. It was bigger than all of us.”
Victor was initially hesitant about dating someone with a partner, but eventually agreed to the romantic triad after the three “entered into an agreement” to “stay together.”
The third wheel, for one, realized this was the only way he’d ever be involved with the woman he loved.
“I’ve always liked her since I was young,” said Victor on deciding to become the third tine of the trident. “I already had this idea of being with her, but she made it clear that wouldn’t happen. As I wanted to stay with her regardless, I accepted.”
Shortly thereafter, a throuple was formed.
Ingrid’s arrangement is particularly unique in that it involves a woman with multiple male partners — known as polyandry.
Far more common is polygamy, in which men take multiple wives or long-term female partners.
While both are illegal in Brazil, polygamy “has been decriminalized, having led to newsworthy accounts of cohabitation,” the Scholarly Community Encyclopedia reported.
Ingrid, for one, declared that seeing two men in tandem has worked wonders for her mental health.
“I don’t have time to be depressed anymore, they are my ‘husbands,'” joked the first-time polygamist, adding that it’s great to have two men washing the dishes and cleaning the house for her.
As of yet, the mental health benefits of juggling multiple partners have not been scientifically proven. However, a 2015 UC Davis study on polygyny in Tanzania found that “sharing a husband may, in some circumstances, lead to greater health and wealth for women and their children.
Alas, doubling up on hubbies may have had the opposite effect on the psychological state of this throuple’s family members, who initially had a hard time accepting their lifestyle choice.
“It was complicated for my family, but over time they saw that it wasn’t an arrangement from out of this world, and ended up accepting it,” said Victor.
Ironically, it’s the two men who haven’t totally come to terms with sharing a woman. Silva, who initially floated the idea, said that he and Victor often get jealous when the other man is with Ingrid.
He even considers Victor’s daughter his and sports a tattoo with both their names along with his son’s.
Despite the long-simmering resentments, partner number one insists that the throuple never fights. “When we feel jealous, we talk about it and it’s resolved,” he claimed.
That might not be the only way they put their issues to bed.
Ingrid, for one, suspects that her two beaus seek pleasure outside the confines of “menage” which she reportedly understands, as she’ll never welcome another woman into the fold.
Although the wife admitted that expanding her harem to three men could be an option.
In the realm of having simultaneous squeezes, Ingrid’s arrangement pales in comparison to compatriot and notorious polygamist Arthur O Urso.
This man boasts six wives and plans to have a baby with each.
