Group sex sparks new concerns for marriage counselors

Open Marriage and the Rise of Group Sex in Modern Life
The article outlines two group sex types in Chicago and New York during last summer's swingers convention: utopian participants seeking a better world through love and recreational participants who view group sex as more fun than traditional social activities. It cites Dr. George C. OʼNeill and Nena OʼNeill’s study of 50 in-depth interviews with Manhattan group sex participants, noting many were middle class professionals ages 30 to 50 and that group sex may reflect marital strains or a quest for novelty, with birth control aiding the practice and pornography prompting reservations from the researchers.
