For anyone who's not been to an orgy, there's a definite curiosity about what it's like. What does it actually feel like to be hanging out in a room of people who just hop from one person to the next, shagging the night away?

This Reddit thread asked people who have experienced orgies exactly what it's like. Predictably, this is a very graphic insight...

1. "Nobody was pushy or rude"

"I was in a gangbang a few months ago, I guess that's technically an orgy. There were two girls and probably 8 guys in total. It was great, a lot of fun. Nobody was pushy or rude. We just took turns f*cking the girls over and over, it went on for a few hours. I was invited back a couple times but I was always busy. Really want to do something like that again." [Via]

2. "So many different smells, none of them pleasant"

"The orgy usually happens at the end of the evening. Everyone is intoxicated and filled with food from the party. Many participants (male and female) are average to below average. Not too many positions are achievable when you've got 10+ people piled together and there's no planned coordination. So many different smells - none of them pleasant and they get stronger as the orgy continues. Body parts get very close to your face and many times they're attached to the gender that you don't want to get very close to. At the end you're covered in the bodily fluids of both sexes and you're trying to not slip on used condoms." [Via]

3. "The men were very respectful... one lovely man even fetched me a tissue to wipe the cum off my face"

"I am a woman who has been in a gangbang. It was at a swingers club with my friend. We went into (what we call) the 'single girls room', where there is just basically a big leather bed in the middle of the room, with a few seats in the corners. We sat in the corner, watching the men come in, I waited until I saw someone I liked, walked up to them, and asked if I could take over (he was stroking his cock). Me and my friend got pounded on this bed next to each other by many cocks that night. It was a lot of fun, and all the men were very respectful, everyone wore condoms and if you say 'no' to someone, they back off immediately. One lovely man even went and fetched me a tissue to wipe the cum off my face." [Via]

4. "People are HEAVY"

"Occasionally it can be very fun, but most of the time I found it to be inconvenient and even awkward because it can require complex acrobatics or become awkward. One thing I've always felt that makes sex less enjoyable than it could be is that people are HEAVY! Arms fall asleep, cramps in leg, etc." [Via]

5. "You generally have a meet-up right beforehand"

"What no-one told me is that you generally have a meet-up right beforehand. The one I was involved in had a very social restaurant meet-up. Basically just a place to get to know the strangers before you f*ck them. I thought it was strange at first, but ultimately it did help calm the nerves." [Via]

6. "Masks aren't for anonymity"

"It is common for people to wear masks at swinger parties. This is not for anonymity." [Via]
