But yeah, I had my one and only threesome, and it was me, a male and a female.”Tori Spelling on ‘90210’.mikel roberts/Sygma via GettyRevealing that she enjoyed the experience “less” than she anticipated, Spelling said kissing other girls was always just “fun and games" to her.“I’ll put it this way: this is going back. I don’t think girls nowadays do this because they’re not there to, like, make guys be like, ‘Oh, my gosh,’” she noted. “But, you know, back in the ‘90s, it was kind of a thing. And you would do this thing where you would be like, ‘Let’s shock the boys and make them drool,’ and you would make out with your friend. And whether you had interest in other in females or no interest at all, it was like, it’s just two girls kissing.”Joking that she has kissed all of the women on90210besidesJennie Garth, Spelling added that she never had an interest in being intimate with the same sex, and the threesome didn’t change that.“I didn’t have any exploration wants with a female,” she explained. “So this was behind-the-scenes, behind closed doors of the Queen Mary of all places. But, yeah. This boy wanted it, and I played along. I don’t think at any point he was like, ‘Oh my God,’ because he would never have gone forward with it if I had spoken up and said, ‘I don’t wanna do this.’ But, yeah, I was like, ‘Okay, you know, I feel safe with this human. I feel safe with this female human.’”Tori Spelling.Rodin Eckenroth/FilmMagic"I always say, You got to try anything once,” she continued. “But I came away from it feeling like, ‘Okay, I think I’ll stick to boys. I’m definitely into boys and maybe just kissing girls for shock value in front of boys. But other than that, I’m good.’”She went on to say that her nerves might have contributed to her not wanting to experiment with a threesome again.“I felt like I was just too nervous,” shared Spelling, who went on to marryDean McDermottin May 2006 beforefiling for divorcein March 2024. “I was anxious the whole time. The whole experience just felt off.”Never miss a story — sign up forPEOPLE’s free daily newsletterto stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.This isn’t the first time that Spelling has reminisced onher racier moments during the height of her90210fame.
