Russell Brand talks of downside to threesomes

Russell Brand says threesomes are a bad idea - because you could touch another man's testicles.

The British comic star – renowned for his womanising ways – insists you should only have sex with a girl and another man if you are attracted to guys as well as women, otherwise stick to one-on-one bedroom fun.

He told Rolling Stone magazine: "I would urge people, men especially, unless they're bisexual, to avoid the two-male threesome. You're essentially getting less there than you would have got anyway. Half the involvement in sex and at least doubled the risk of someone farting in the room. And the constant threat of what I know as 'nut brush'."

Explaining what the 'nut brush' is, Russell said: "The 'nut brush' is the phenomena where if you take a threesome to its natural conclusion you may very well find your testicles being impeached by another man's testicles. That's not my idea of a party!"

The 34-year-old star – who is engaged to pop beauty Katy Perry – plays debauched rock star Aldous Snow in upcoming movie 'Get Me To The Greek' and he admits the character is based on things that happened in his own life.

He revealed: "Let's be honest, debauchery is not something I like to outsource. Because I'm a comedian, when things are getting debauched, orgiastic and there's narcotic indulgence, it's sort of like, 'Woo hoo, I've won a game show!' Whereas with musicians that's the norm. Dave Davies from the Kinks - his mum caught him in bed with five women when he was 16. He shouldn't have been allowed out after 9 o'clock at that age, and he's in bed with five women."
