Talk:Sex party (group sex)

message: From my limited knowledge of wikipedia so far, I feel this article is strongly in need of a "stub" tag.  It's radically incomplete and I think misleading.  I will let a more experienced person decide.  At the moment this rich subject has only two sentences in the main body, including a perplexing equation of sex party and gang bang.

message: The article Orgy is nothing but a glorified disambiguation page.  Since its content overlaps entirely with Orgia, Sex party and Group sex, it should be made back into a disambiguation page (as was done in this edit), with all the content merged into those articles. 
Or, alternatively, orgia and/or sex party should be merged into orgy until they are large enough to make reasonable articles on their own.  Zodon (talk) 08:17, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Strongly oppose involving Orgia in merge. You need to look more closely at the article Orgia, which is about the ancient Greek religious practice, and is based on multiple scholarly sources. It has nothing to do with sex parties, or any sexual practices, except that the participants (like the early Christians and later certain heretical sects) were accused of using their gatherings as an occasion for promiscuity (hence the modern meaning). The note at the top specifically states: This article is about the form of worship in ancient Greek religion.  For other uses, see Orgy. A section in Orgia that needs development is the explanation of orgeones, which were state-"licensed" organizations devoted to specific religion practices. None of this technical discussion sheds any light on the contemporary sexual practices of Sex party, Orgy, or Group sex (it seems reasonable to discuss whether those three should be merged). The fact that the English word "orgy" ultimately derives from Greek orgion is simply an etymology to be presented in connection to "Orgy," wherever that material ends up. Orgia is more substantial than a stub, and should not be merged into an article on either "orgy" or "sex parties." The Greek form of the word was used as the article title specifically to distinguish it from English "orgy." Cynwolfe (talk) 12:26, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

text: oppose I don't think that went anywhere, so this thread can be considered closed. If the merge below goes thru, as an alternative to a redirect at Orgy to Group Sex there can be a disambig page with the classical and modern usage. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 05:23, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Seriously, a wikipedia endtry for "Sex Party"? This isn't Urban Dictionary. I think anyone can figure out what a sex party is, should we have entries for "stick" and for "cold drink" too?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.72.229.154 (talk) 12:48, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a stick but I doubt you'll see an endtry for cold drink. There is a category of group sex articles, a real social phenomenon of sex parties, not limited to so-called swingers and has organization, social impact, etc. Agree though doesn't deserve at this point its own article. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 06:06, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where are the adults around here? 

message: :support It's as if the arresting of intellectual development at puberty had had an especially comic effect here. It has some distinct content and it's name should map to a section in Group sex, put tags on it and "Orgy". I've redacted the lede at Orgy, put tags on all the articles and directed their talks here as that had already been set at Group sex a couple years ago. I renamed this thread for discussion of that overall action. This is one of those funny things that shows where you are as a species, culture, etc. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 06:02, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
