Plays Well in Groups provides a historical and cultural history of
group sex throughout the ages. From depictions in Paleolithic cave
art to the Playboy mansion, Katherine Frank delves into the fields
of sociology, biology, anthropology, and psychology to provide
explanations for both, participation in group sex and the complex
reactions to it-from fascination to fear. This book draws on survey
research, ethnographic observation around the world, and interviews
with participants to offer a cross-cultural look at the
manifestations and meanings of group sex; who has it, and why.
Group sex is by definition non-monogamous, although not all kinds
of non-monogamy involve group sex. Having sex willingly in the
presence of observers, or with multiple participants, crosses a
line of social propriety in many societies. Links between ritual
sex and spirituality have been found throughout history, and words
like "bliss," "passion," and "ecstasy" can describe both spiritual
and sexual highs. Although anthropologists have identified very
few, if any, truly universal taboos, taboos, such as public
displays of sexual behavior and multiple, consecutive partners, are
still widespread. Frank aims to bring forth some general
explanations for these taboos that are present in local and
specific explorations of human activity.
