Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This study examines frequency of group sex participation and associated characteristics and behaviors among a sample of heterosexual young adult participants in Miami's nightclub scene (n = 498). METHODS: Baseline survey assessments were analyzed using zero-inflated binomial regression. RESULTS: Forty-one percent of the sample reported group sex participation history. Greater frequency of group sex is associated with buying sex, sex with an injection drug user, being high during sex, condomless vaginal sex, victimization history, and sexually transmitted infection incidence (p < .02). CONCLUSIONS: Sexually transmitted infection prevention and intervention efforts should address risks associated with group sex participation.
