In gay adult video, "party" points to a social setting with more than two people present. It usually suggests a gathering rather than a one-on-one encounter, though the term says nothing about how many participants take an active part. Group-oriented terms like orgy or threesome refer to the number of people involved, while party leans more on the occasion itself, such as a celebration, a night out or a gathering at home. Costume or theme elements, sometimes flagged as cosplay, can also fall under this heading.
