eternal triangle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'threesome in extremely adventurous liaison' is the definition.
'eternal triangle' can be an answer for 'liaison' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'threesome in extremely adventurous' bit.

'primarily relating in complicated way' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'relating' is 'triangle' which is located in the answer.
'way' could be 'n' (Compass direction - North) and 'n' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
