Group sex

Group sex is sexual behaviour involving more than two people at the same time.

Any sexual behaviour performed by two people can be a part of group sex, as well as a number of behaviors only possible with more than two people. Group sex involving a single female or male and multiple males is sometimes termed a gang bang.

The same safe sex considerations that apply to one-on-one sex apply to group sex, for the same reasons. People who have group sex may have higher numbers of sexual partners, and may for this reason be more likely to have sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or to be at risk for STDs than those who have fewer sexual partners.

Group sex occurs amongst people of all sexual orientations, but may or may not involve homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual contact, though sex involving three or more people must necessarily involve multiple members of the same sex.

An oral threesome

Following is a list of possible group sex positions.

Spitroast or roasting: the penetration of one person in the mouth at the same time as they are being penetrated in the vagina or anus. Sometimes called a wobbly H or (Chinese) fingercuffs, since the person in the middle is stuck between. (See also: Chasing Amy.)
Double penetration: The simultaneous penetration of a woman's vagina and anus. Sometimes called a sandwich
Triple penetration usually refers to either two penises in the vagina and one in the anus, or two in the anus and one in the vagina.
Airtight seal: the simultaneous penetration of a woman's vagina, anus and mouth.
Double vaginal penetration: the simultaneous penetration by two men of a single woman's vagina.
Double anal penetration: the simultaneous penetration by two men of a single woman's or man's anus.
DVDA, Double vaginal, double anal: the simultanous penetration by two men of a single woman's vagina coupled with the simultaneous penetration by two men of the same woman's anus. There is no evidence that a DVDA has ever been accomplished as it is in all likelihood physically impossible.
Daisy chain: a group of men simultaneously penetrating and being penetrated by each other anally in a chain formation; a group of men, women, or both, each performing oral sex on the next.
Isosceles Lock: in which three men perform fellatio in a triangular configuration.
Lucky Pierre: in which a man has vaginal sex with a woman, whilst himself being anally penetrated by another man—term can also be used for similar all male activities.

These acts may also be performed by women wearing strap-on dildos.

Bukkake

Bukkake is a group sex practice seen in pornography where a series of men take turns to ejaculate on a kneeling recipient. At the end of the process, the recipient usually drinks the semen. There is a misconception that bukkake is a recent invention of the fetish pornography industry. In fact, much of the bukkake pornography consists of amateur home movies made by people who enjoy the sex act on or off camera. Bukkake is not and never has been confined to pornography. Some women have gone public regarding their sexual enjoyment of bukkake; one prominent example is Catherine Millet. This is a potentially unsafe practice; see bukkake.

A "table" threesome

While group sex is common as a fantasy, the actual prevalence of group sex is unknown.

Some dismiss group sex as a phenomenon confined to pornography. This is demonstrably false, as shown by the existence of various private sex clubs that practice various forms of group sex. There are men and women who openly recount their group sex experiences. Moreover, many pornographic movies are simply documentary recordings of unscripted sex acts performed for fun or fun as much as money. For example, a great deal of homemade pornography fits this category. Group sex activity appears in documentary pornography, such as homemade pornography produced by erotic affinity groups.
