How it's used
This term is a direct and clinical description of the act. While it is understood by everyone, it is rarely used in casual conversation because it sounds overly technical or like a dictionary definition. People usually prefer more casual slang or euphemisms when discussing such topics.
Examples
They had a threesome last night.

Common phrases
to have a threesome
Common mistake
Do not use this in a casual or romantic context as it sounds like a police report or a medical document. Using such a formal term for a sexual act often creates an awkward or cold atmosphere.
