The Group Sex Project
Canada-wide survey: currently active! We are seeking participants who are 18 or older, reside in Canada, and have participated in group sex at least once within the past five years.
This Canada-wide survey is part of a broader community-based research project focused on group sex in Canada. Our aim is to gain knowledge that will benefit group sex participants. Through our work, we are learning about:
- How people have safer group sex
- What contributes to high quality healthcare
- What makes group sex experiences positive

Community advisory board
We work in partnership with a community advisory board of people with experience attending and/or hosting group sex events in Southwestern British Columbia. We meet regularly to align the study with the needs of people who have group sex through shared decision making.
