Group

Group sex refers to sexual activity involving three or more people at the same time.

Group sex describes sexual activity that involves three or more people together. In gay and queer communities it has a long social history, from private play parties to sex clubs, bathhouses, and circuit-party spaces. As a listing or profile term on dating and hookup apps, "group" signals interest in this kind of encounter. Like any sexual activity, it depends on clear consent, honest communication, and shared boundaries among everyone involved. Attention to sexual health matters too, including condoms, regular STI testing, and prevention tools such as PrEP. "Group" is a plain descriptive term rather than an identity, and interest in it says nothing about a person's orientation.
