Do you dream about getting it on with a friend, but then never know how to bring it up?  Have you ever imagined two of your friends fucking while you watched? Do you just like sex, period? If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, maybe you should consider hosting an orgy.
   
Sites like Guys Go Crazy or  Gay College Sex Parties can show you a sex party, but there's no substitute for actually hosting one. It's not that difficult, but it does require a fair amount of forethought and planning. The sex itself is simple. As orgy aficionados will tell you, a tangled and writhing mass of naked men is much like a kaleidoscope. No matter which way you turn it, it looks pretty. But assembling the right group of people and setting the stage can be a fine art.
   
If you feel up to attending someone else's sex party and taking some mental notes before trying to host your own, that can be a great way to start. Check the chatboards at Gay.com or ManHunt, both of which have fairly frequent announcements about sex parties. You can also check out some of your town’s dedicated sex clubs. An excellent index of these can be found at Bathhouse Guide.
   
When hosting a gangbang, you’ll need to be aware of every guest’s proclivities so that you end up with a nice ratio of tops to bottoms. After all — nothing kills the mood faster than a room full of pouty bottoms, all staring at the same dildo.
    If your party is going to be fetish oriented, only solicit guests who lean towards bondage, latex, golden showers, stuffed animals, or role-playing. It’s always hopeless to try and please everyone. So the solution is simple: don’t invite everyone!
   
If you’re dreaming of throwing a ginormous house party, please just slap yourself. If you don’t know all of the guests, your real friends may hold you liable (forever) if anything (or anyone) bad goes down. And it probably will, because there’s no way you can keep tabs on that many people and still have a good time. When parties get too big, you end up with strangers bringing strangers. It may seem exciting — until you climb out of your k-hole to find that all of your cash and electronics are gone.
   
“It’s important to have a list,” says sex party consultant Jason Lee. No matter how uncomfortable it may feel, you must ascertain the STD status of every single guest who comes in. It’s one thing to swap spit with your buddies — but quite another if you all contract gonorrhea from eating the same ass.
   
You probably never imagined that you’d end up working triage at your own sex party, but Lee says, “Medical histories should be taken before the party. Do it at the gathering only as a last resort. Don’t ask one friend questions in front of another, either. The answers might be embarrassing.”
   
Don’t worry about the decor. That’s not why your guests are there. As long as the ambiance is sexy and fun, everyone will be fine. Be sure to hide your valuables. And if you decide to distribute sex toys around your pad, understand that you might not get them back in the same condition they were in when the party began.
   
Always clean your space before a party and cover your furniture with white sheets. You can set the mood instantly with the right music, especially techno, trance or electronica — but not Top 40. You don’t want your partner humming along to Gimme More while he’s sucking your dick. Place condoms and lube everywhere (unless it's a bareback party) and be sure that everyone understand the rules and limits of the party before entering.
   
If you do decide to have toys available, you should always disinfect and clean them with adult toy cleanser. Regular anti-bacterial soap leaves a thin layer of scum and can also cause your toys to dry and crack. For some great toy ideas, check out Male Stockroom and Fort Troff. Keep the lights low, but not off. Darkroom action is hot, but highly impractical. If you want to get creative, you can make some rooms brightly lit and then leave others dark. The different settings will encourage people to explore. Also, always make sure to have a “safe area." If someone is feeling uncomfortable, they should always have a time-out zone to retreat to. Besides, you might get tired and need a break, too… eventually.
   
Party on.

Like a couple of old friends we’ve grown to know so well, Doug and Jay have taught their members so much through the years (like the correct spelling of ‘amateur’ – after typing the URL into your web browser a few hundred times, you’ll never transpose the”e” and “u”again!). As the originators of straight guy seduction, they’ve got an expansive archive of full-length features – not to mention a pretty convincing way of talking guys into losing their pants, virginity, and sexual inhibitions.

Typically in the porn industry, 18 years-old is a far more celebrated age - but something about this all-inclusive megasite’s 13th year birthday is still pretty doggone thrilling. Featuring everything from sizzling hot live cam shows, to unseen original model photosets, it’s a great place for both XXX newcomers to start, and old veterans to stay. Now that’s a reason to throw a party!

Billed as ‘The Gay Real World’, the site’s dedicated to finding out what happens when a group of 20-something young pups are put in a Florida townhouse, and told to stop being polite, and start having sex with each other. Of course, after meeting Richard, the “shy and affectionate one in the house who likes to dance”, something tells us these boy’s manors haven’t completely been thrown out the window.

Glossy, slick, and chalked full of pretty gay boys; For years, that’s what Falcon Studios has done best. Perhaps, then, it comes as a pleasant surprise that the porn powerhouse is delving in the scandalous world of gay-for-pay, with this first ever stand alone site, dedicated to filling the wallets of straight, sexually adventurous men – and flooding gays with visions of frat guy circle jerks and buddy-to-buddy handjobs. Sure, it’s a bold step for such a fabulous studio to take — but judging from the pervasive gay desire to seduce curious straight guys, it’s one launch that definitely won’t be a misfire.
