According to encyclopedic definition, group sex is a type of human sexual behavior that involves three or more participants in a sexual interaction at the same time.
The attitude of society towards such practice has varied in different
epochs and cultures, as the issue of sex norms has always been
controversial, but the majority of people would still frown upon group
sex even now, despite the sexual liberation trends of the twentieth century.
Such critical views can be easily explained by the association of group
sex practice with spreading of various STIs and STDs, involvement of
minors in teen group sex, prevalence of group sex contacts in
homosexual communities, etc. Yet this is an arguable position as sane
and consensual group sex is a rather safe practice not directly
connected with the above concerns.
Transmission of venereal diseases during group sex practice can be prevented with
the help of various means, such as condoms, dental dams for protected oral sex,
rubber gloves, numerous sex toys such as dildos substituting penile-vaginal or
penile-anal penetration, etc. A number of group sex practitioners prefer to undergo
special tests prior to engaging in relationship and thus ensuring better group
sex safety. The so called "safer group sex parties" are also aimed
at reducing health risks. During such parties, partners would have non-penetrative
sex confining to mutual masturbation, frottage, humping, boobjobs, handjobs, footjobs,
etc. Fingering, fisting and toying would also increase group sex safety.
As for the early exposure of minors to sexual activity, the importance
of group sex here is also doubtful. It is not because some adults
choose to practice group sex that teens get involved into it, too.
Rather, the wide dissemination of sex-related information in the media,
including television and the Internet as well as general popularization
of sexually-active behavior in the modern culture are more likely to
influence the formation of ideas about sex in teens. Numerous Internet
sites offer an astonishing variety of pornographic resources with group sex movies,
erotic stories and drawings that are usually available for any user
disregarding their age or legal restrictions of the country they live
in. Moreover, many people create their personal profiles to be filled
with photos and other private data that will help find new partners for
cyber or real-life relationship. More likely reasons for participation
in amateur group sex by teens
include acting in the state of alcoholic or drug intoxication, being
led by desire to try something new and forbidden or following the herd
instinct.
What concerns group sex between homosexual partners, we can also put a question mark near the statement that gay group sex or lesbian group sex takes place more often than similar practice between straight-oriented partners.
Many people would also claim that group sex is humiliating and abusive
in its nature, being similar to group rape. However, some persons
deliberately go for such humiliation as they find it very rousing and
pleasant. Such practices as bdsm
for example include domination and submission role play that brings
pleasure to its participants through torturing, abusing and
pain-infliction.
Thus, group sex moral is is a disputable matter, just like any other
kind of sexual activity, but as long as it does not harm people around,
everybody is free to set one's own boundaries and choose the way to
live one's sexual life. |
