Sex Party

A sex party is an event or gathering where people come together to engage in consensual sexual activities with others. Sex parties can vary in terms of size, organization, and specific rules or guidelines.

Sex parties can take place in private residences, clubs, or dedicated venues that cater to adult or alternative lifestyles. Participants may engage in activities such as partner swapping, group sex, voyeurism, exhibitionism, BDSM play, or other forms of consensual sexual exploration. The specific activities and boundaries at sex parties vary depending on the rules established by the organizers and the preferences of the participants. Unless explicitly stated in the rules, attendance at a sex party is not blanket consent to have sex with any of the other attendees.

This term is sometimes used interchangeably with swingers party but a sex party has a wider audience and includes folks who don't identify as swingers.

Sex parties may be advertised as "SOP," or sex on premises. This makes it clear that the event includes sex, and is not just a meet up or BDSM play without intercourse. In some countries, "SOP venues" is also a legal designation that's licensed differently from bars or strip clubs.
