plural key parties

  1. A group sex event where participants' car keys are randomly handed out, determining which couples will have sex.

    Undoubtedly, the structure of a key party is right out of a straight-male pipe dream. Key party lore is exclusively heterosexual, women are not afforded sexual veto power, and men are guaranteed a partner with no chance of rejection.
