Group Sex, Then and Now
By Kuono • May 20th, 2008 • Category: Events, Sex Positivity
As Smartyboots belatedly alluded to, the cuming of spring brings back the freak in all of us, be it fucking outdoors… getting down at play parties. The term “play party” is a recent one, though the idea of group sex is well documented through the ages, including our friends(s) at wikipedia.
An East Coast friend of mine, Reid Mihalko of CuddleParty is here in SF moderating a fascinating Panel Discussion called “Group Sex Then and Now: A Play Party Retrospective“.
Enlisting the help of panelists Terrance Allen, Cleo Dubios, Robert Lawrence, Scott Levkoff, Carol Queen, Polly Whittaker, and Jerry Zientara, the evening sounds to me like a historical event, and I’m glad to hear that it will be videotaped/podcast’d and archived — and with luck soon able to access it online, so check back in with us and we’ll see if we can make it available to those outside the SF Bay Area.

GROUP SEX THEN AND NOW: A Play Party Retrospective
Panel Discussion Moderated by Reid Mihalko
Thursday, May 22nd, 7:30PM-10:30PM @ Center for Sex and Culture
1519 Mission Street, San Francisco CA (In Between 11th and South Van Ness)
Play party. Orgy. Love-In. Group scene… Call it what you will, but know that the Bay Area has had more than it’s share of these salacious, ground-breaking, and sometimes scandalous events!
Join New York City sex and relationship geek Reid Mihalko as he moderates a distinguished panel of Bay Area play party promoters and attendees (past and present) to discuss the rich history (and herstory) of San Francisco’s sex parties, swap favorite stories and tips, share valuable lessons learned, and muse where they see play parties heading in the future…
PANELISTS:
Terrance Allen • Cleo Dubios • Robert Lawrence • Scott Levkoff
Carol Queen • Polly Whittaker • Jerry Zientara
If you’ve ever wondered what group sex was like “way back when” (or now!), or how the people who attend play parties today differ from those twenty years ago, or how the rules surrounding group sexual dynamics have changed through the years… If you’re curious who is throwing play parties today, what kinds of events are out there and for whom, where they happen, who attends, and if there is a play party for me and what I’m into… Please join us for a group of group-sex geeks talking about… What else?… group sex!
