B
Bukkake
An act where a person receives the ejaculation of more than one person — often on the face, but also breasts or other body parts. While in porn the receiver is usually a ciswoman, any gender could assume that role. The term “Bukkake” comes from the Japanese bukkakeru which means “heavy splash”.
C
Circle Jerk
D
Daisy Chain
A circle or chain of people performing oral sex on each other while simultaneously receiving. All genders can be a part of the chain/circle, and they may be facing up or down.
Double Penetration
F
Foursome
Same idea as a threesome, but with four people. They differentiate themselves from swinging (see below) in that every person in a foursome interacts with each other.
G
Gang bang
A group sex scenario where one person in the center receives penetration and sexual stimulation from a group of people. The person in the center will often give sexual pleasure to the people in the group, such as oral sex. The people in the group usually do not interact with each other. The stereotypical gang bang we see in porn usually has a ciswoman in the center, but gang bangs can include people from any gender both as the receiver or giver.
Group Sex
Self-explanatory; a group of people having sex. The number of people can vary, but is always more than two. The setting can also be at home, at a club, at a party, etc.
O
Orgy
P
Parallel Play
Couples or groups of people having sex in the same room or space, but not sexually interacting with other group members.
S
Safe Sex
The practice of using barriers such as condoms, dental dams, and gloves when engaging in any kind of sexual activity. Safer sex can also include emotional check-ins with your sexual partner before, during, and after sex. We talk about “safer” and not “safe” sex because sex always implies a risk, and condoms and other barriers are never 100% effective. There are also emotional risks to having sex.
Sex Party
Swinging
T
Threesomes
