The Psychology of Group Play and Partner-Sharing

Title of Event: The Psychology of Group Play and Partner-Sharing
 
Description of Event:
Group play and sex with people other than a person’s main partner are, far and away, the most common sexual fantasies for everyone. Although monogamous relationships are idealized by Hollywood, therapists and religions, one in five people will be in a consensually nonmonogamous relationship in their lifetime. Why do so many people find these fantasies and behaviors so compelling and exciting? In this two-day conference, participants will delve into the history of group sex, nonmonogamy and cuckolding through many worldwide cultures. Dr. Ley will lead the audience through an exploration of the secret sexual history of hot group sex through the ages, then frame these sexual experiences within current psychological and biological research to better understand the role of these sexualities within individuals and cultures.
