Group sex. Is it acceptable? If yes, why? If no, why not? Have you ever? Would you if the people/circumstances were right? Is it truly a moral issue? Is it illegal in your state/country?

Reasoning: Why not?

Personally, Definitely NOT, NO, NEVER.
Why? Because I have only been with one person and I want it to stay that way, to me sex is something special shared between two people who love and are commited to eachother, sleeping around cheapens that, I am not an animal, I can control myself and WHO I share that with. for anyone else, whatever floats your boat, just make sure its consentual and you are safe.

So long as all the participants are consenting adults, where is the harm?

I know some people believe that the 'sanctity' of the sexual act has to be enjoyed between long-term partners (and only two of them), but you can surely have long-term sanctified sex with one partner, and then have pure fun sex with your girl and/or boy friends as well...

I have, and you may all rest assured that I did not immediately thereafter go out and start sacrificing children to the Dark Lord. I personally find nothing inherently wrong with it as long as all participants are mature enough to handle it (which is a real hang up).

I know... I kind of read it as "Set Aside", like in the religious context...

But, I have special 'sanctified' meals with my wife... and, sometimes, I grab a McDonalds on the way home from work... the one doesn't alter the other...

Group sex. Is it acceptable?I don't think it's inherently unacceptable.
If yes, why?'Cause there's nothing inherently immoral about it. Now it's not a good idea: People tend to get jelous (although there are exceptions), and sex tends to be "complicated". And it puts the participants at greater risk of disease, although safer sex can go a long way to mitigate that.
Have you ever?Nope.
Would you if the people/circumstances were right?I don't think I'd ever be comfortable with group sex, I suppose that's a sort of way of saying I don't think the people/circumstances would ever be right. But if the people/circumstances did seem to be right (including noone cheating on anyone), I wouldn't reject it out of hand.
Is it truly a moral issue?Well sure. It's just one with a simple answer (IMO): Group sex is moral. Now naturally, group sex in certain conditions/situations is immoral, so there are a bunch of moral issues associated with group sex, just as there are issues associated with sex in general.

Is it illegal in your state/country?I don't know, but I'd be surprised if it was illegal in Canada. The federal government has a policy of staying out of the bedrooms of the nation thanks to former Prime Minister Trudeau, but the Toronto police have a history of being uptight when it comes to sex.

yes, with all the same qualifying characteristics of one-on-one sex; all participants must be consenting (and therefore also must be adults), protection should be used for the safety of all involved, and it should only occur in appropriate locations (i.e. no having an orgy on the Tea Cup Ride, that's just mean to the kiddies).

I think it's a matter of taste. I don't see anything inherently immoral about it, as long as it's consensual and blah blah blah. I personally would not do it, I'm more of a one-on-one in bed in the dark kinda guy, but I have no problem with other people having group sex. Their bodies are their own to do with what they please.

i guess moral is up to the individual.

but it IS unwise. group sex only works out for everyone in fantasy and in porn. in reality there are just too many people for everyone to get exactly what they were hoping for.

i can come up with a dozen other reasons but y'all know what they are so ill just leave you to your fantasies.

Only with the right people. That is, only one gender may have multiple participants. Otherwise things may get ugly. Personally, I'd prefer to be the lone gender. I could handle four or five at once, given the proper circumstances.

Acceptable of course, but only with the right group of nice peoplr. Done it, tried and it was nice. But choose young beautifull people in a good fysical shape and then it's nice. Party drugs (the great white powder) are a good boost if you wan't to come a lot of times. Good persons can be found in the actors and fashion schools.They like it. :) :D

Every person should have the chance to enjoy it, gives us a more free sexual world when they do.

Would. Indeed, have, several times.

Consensual is only the tip of the iceberg. The thing about any sex at all is that all parties to it should have an understanding of each other's expectations - emotional expectations being of prime importance, but the physical side of it should be pretty clear too if there are boundaries, things you're uneasy with and such. What is this relationship going to be tomorrow? That's a question that everybody has to answer, and if there's disagreement...sorry, I just remembered somewhere else I have to be.

The only immoral/unethical thing about it is if you aren't honest with yourself and with each other about intentions and expectations.

Is it acceptable?

To who? To me? Hell, what do I care?

If yes, why?

I don't believe that personal freedom has an inherent responsibility to be justified. I believe the burden lies on someone to prove it isn't.

Have you ever? Would you if the people/circumstances were right?

No, no.

Is it truly a moral issue?

From a personal standpoint, yes. Each person needs to base how they feel on the matter on their morals.

Is it illegal in your state/country?

Not to the best of my knowledge, no.

-It's in private (sorry, no group sex on the public transportation system, or out on the street).
-Everyone involved consents.
-Any third parties who have a right to know (for example, your wife or husband), do know (and either approve, or can make themselves no longer concerned third parties).

Hmm. "Relative truth" seems to me to be an oxymoron. Please explain what you mean by the term.

Absolute truth would infer there is one right and wrong answer to every question; sort of like math. However, determining what absolute truth is can be nigh on impossible with matters of morality, if it even exists.

A good example is that two halves of a country are at war. One wants... I don't know... no taxes. The other wants taxes. We'll call those who hate taxes the Notaxers, and the other side the Gimmes.

The Notaxers think they are right, and therefore the Gimmes are wrong. They hold this as truth. The Gimmes feel they are right, and the Notaxers are wrong. They hold this as truth.

Both purport to hold truth. Both act as if they, in fact, hold beliefs based on absolute truth. In the end however they are both simply basing their ideas of truth and morality on their personal ideas of right and wrong. Even when we think we base our morals on facts, the 'facts' themselves can be questioned.

One might argue it is impossible for any human to ever know absolute truth. We can only use our perception of the world to form our own, relative truth.

And even if you say that "morals are opinions" stuff, then let's take the other side. Sex before marriage is dangerous. It can transfer STDs and cause unplanned pregancies. And why do people do it? Oh, right, for a moment of pleasure. :rolleyes: It's just stupid.

Why in the world would someone NOT want group sex?

I can think of a reason: if you have problems with one person, doubling your participating group is a great way to not just double your humiliation, but expand it at a geometric rate.

All kidding aside, threesomes can be pretty hairy experiences, but they can also be thrilling encounters that increase the strength of a relationship. I'm not an advocate of meaningless sex, but that doesn't necessarily discount the possibility of a threesome.

The kicker as for whether you should go ahead with it is pretty much what has been mentioned before by many of the more sophisticated posters that came before: first and foremost, one should work out any emotional hangups any party might have (if certain acts or positions carry significant meaning to one party or another, it might not be a good idea to do them with the other party), followed closely by physical hangups (if one person doesn't like one kind of sex act, then don't do it). No pressure should be put on any party to violate any of the two listed principles, nor should anyone force the situation; if it doesn't seem to be going well, call it a day. Finally, protection should be used to keep all parties safe. Once you've covered those bases, and you all still want to go through with it, and you think it might be a good experience, then by all means, go ahead.

Science, as we know it, is based on our perception. We have no reason to believe our perception is in fact showing the truth, nor that every person perceives in the same way. Basing truth on what we see (or what we think we see) and claiming it as absolute would be a very large gambit indeed.

You can't arbitrarily decide what's true. But the only real alternative to making decisions - is to pull the wool down over your eyes and bumble along aimlessly. You have, like a historian or judge, to balance the arguments and decide what is best.

Of course, not everyone does that, since if everyone thought that, there'd be no racism, the UN would work, etc....

An ant sees the world one way. An animal sees it another. A human sees it still another. Any being of perception probably believes its interpretation is true. But reality itself is just an individual interpretation.

That doesn't mean we have to wander aimlessly. It means we must never, ever make the assumption that we are factually correct. We base our ideas on what we can perceive, always understanding that we are no doubt seeing but a small speck of truth, and even then just our perception of it - and that we may sometimes have to realize our perception is not the end-all of all situations.

If we see a wall in front of us, we cannot factually know it is a wall. And we should never disregard the possibility that the wall may in fact just be our interpretation of something much more. But as we can only see a wall, we must treat the wall as such for almost every situation.

That's not aimless. But it's not truth either.

Ok well, then morals are unjust, because you are basing you baises on faulty perceptions that may be missing large and crucial pieces of data.

I'm not familiar with string theory, but if it's a human idea, than we based it on our perception of the universe.

...no. ;) Nice try, but you missed the point. Again.

A) I did not deny absolute truth exists.
B) I did not state absolute truth was needed for morals.
C) I did not call in to question the usefulness of morals.

Morals are like all truth, based on our perception. I never said that was a problem. I'm saying you have to realize your perception isn't always right.

The problem with absolute truth is that once you think you've found it, you stop looking.

I can think of a reason: if you have problems with one person, doubling your participating group is a great way to not just double your humiliation, but expand it at a geometric rate.

All kidding aside, threesomes can be pretty hairy experiences, but they can also be thrilling encounters that increase the strength of a relationship. I'm not an advocate of meaningless sex, but that doesn't necessarily discount the possibility of a threesome.

The kicker as for whether you should go ahead with it is pretty much what has been mentioned before by many of the more sophisticated posters that came before: first and foremost, one should work out any emotional hangups any party might have (if certain acts or positions carry significant meaning to one party or another, it might not be a good idea to do them with the other party), followed closely by physical hangups (if one person doesn't like one kind of sex act, then don't do it). No pressure should be put on any party to violate any of the two listed principles, nor should anyone force the situation; if it doesn't seem to be going well, call it a day. Finally, protection should be used to keep all parties safe. Once you've covered those bases, and you all still want to go through with it, and you think it might be a good experience, then by all means, go ahead.

hahah oh yeah there ya go
lets have a big serious discussion
make up contracts perhaps. no substitutions!!
everyone will be utterly honest because everyone knows each other and themselves very well.
each person will be required to bring proof of medical cleanliness
everyone will be required to provide birthcontrol and disease prevention.
hmmm we better all bring permission slips from our therapists, wouldnt want a psycho sneaking in on this beautiful experience.
in fact everyone better strip naked before we get started so we can all agree on who looks good enough and has the optimally sized equipment.

And even if you say that "morals are opinions" stuff, then let's take the other side. Sex before marriage is dangerous. It can transfer STDs and cause unplanned pregancies. And why do people do it?

That's not aimless. But it's not truth either.

Oh dear. Someone needs to step away from the Hilary Putnam.

In one very loose sense, you are correct. If by "know", you mean "comprehend completely without the slightest amount of uncertainty", then yes, we can't really say that we "know" that the hypothetical wall you speak of actually exists. We can only know that our mind exists, and that the universe is structured in such a fashion as to allow minds of one sort or another to exist, albeit not in the fashion we are aware of.

Wait a minute, you might say, that goes beyond Cartesian solipsism! That is true, but it is a necessary inference. To say that I exist while there is no such construction of a universe that allows me to exist is just as self-contradictory as saying I don't exist. As such, we can infer the existence of a mind-independent universe-- a point, mind you, that Putnam (or Kant, if you want to go to the source of Putnam's anti-realism) never once disputed.

Ah, but here's the rub. If there is a mind-independent world, then there is one true state of affairs about it. The fact that an ant, or an animal, or a person might not see that such a state of affairs exists does not change this fact-- it only means that such ants, animals, or humans have been deceived, and are each viewing the world falsely. To say that everyone perceives the world differently is not in and of itself evidence that the objective world does not exist, or that truth about it is not available at some level.

Uh, well, aside from the part about stripping naked beforehand, yes it does. If you aren't stable enough or healthy enough for sexual activity, then you should be either honest enough to say so, or you should avoid those situations to begin with (the latter being the more probable). It's not like there are huge numbers of women walking around just waiting to spread herpes to an unwitting couple, and if you seriously think that you'll automatically pick a stalker, then I'd have to reply that either you're much unluckier than the rest of us, or you've watched Fatal Attraction or some movie like that one too many times.

All of those things can happen if you marry the first girl you have sex with, and they might not even if you sleep with every girl on campus. So unless you're advocating universal abstinence, which would be stupid, you ought to ease down.

It takes being responsible beforehand. A threesome isn't usually a spontaneous thing. It's something that you have to go into thinking about it the whole way. Anyone who thinks a threesome is just hooking up with two random strangers is someone who hasn't and won't ever experience a threesome.

I don't like the idea much. This is mostly because I love my man, and I don't see anyone but him as being attractive. In other words, I wouldn't want to share myself, body and soul, with anyone but him. I think anything less is cheapening the idea. Sex without love is a cheap thing, and this is not according to any religious ideas I might have, but my own sense of right and wrong. I've chosen to be with him, and I would be upset if I were not enough for him, and I know that he'd be upset if he were not enough for me. I've got everything I want in him.

Parties where everyone drops their keys into a bowl and swaps partners are kind of a seedy idea. It's a polarized reaction to sexual repression. It's like the behavior of a sexually molestation victim. They go one of two ways, they either become frigid or promiscuous. I guess I see society's reaction to sex as reflecting the attitude of the individuals who make it. For me, though, personally, I don't think I'd like group sex, anonymous or otherwise. It just seems really cheap and nasty.

3somes are a different kind of playing with fire. if you are in a serious relationship someone it certainly doesnt seem worth the risks to me.

well actually by the very literal definition of the term, yes, hooking up with two strangers and having a three-way would count as a threesome - since after all a threesome is having sex in a party of three.

saying things like that makes you sound like a jackass.
