Group Sex - Guide to

Perhaps the idea of watching others gets you hot, or maybe you’re more of a ‘middle of the action’ kind of person. No matter what your preference might be, you’re not alone in contemplating the erotic aspects of group sex. Many characteristics of this type of sex are extremely appealing to both men and women. But because this sexual activity challenges many socially accepted norms, group sex is not for everyone. However, if you’re happy to expand your sexual boundaries, here’s an ‘everything you need to know guide’ to make you an expert on collective sexual nirvana...

Before reading this article further we recommend you check out our Introduction to Multi-partner Sex, then come back here to read-on for the specifics relating to group sex.

Definition

Group sex is the act of performing sexual activity with multiple partners at the same time. The term by and large refers to four or more participants, although some people apply the expression to a grouping of three lovers (more accurately described as a ‘Threesome’).

Difference between 'group sex' and 'swinging' or 'polyamory'

Group sex can be an aspect of Swinging or Polyamory, but it can also be different in that it does not require any of the participants to be in relationships with one another (whereas swinging and polyamory does). However, being a couple can be advantageous in getting a group thing initiated, either by inviting one or more people to join in, or by getting frisky with other similarly disposed pairs.

Different types of group sex

There is no single way to engage in group sex, and getting physical with each person in the group is not a requirement. It may be as simple as an even number of couples going at it in the same room, or a full-scale sexual encounter where everyone does everything with everybody. Group members can also be of any gender or orientation.

A common activity that can occur among individuals is one giving another manual or oral pleasure, while simultaneously receiving from another. This can involve a larger group known as ‘daisy-chaining’ whereby a group of people form continuous links, where each gives to the partner in front, while receiving from the next link behind, the group ultimately forming a complete chain.
