Very true. I feel that if these people were really in the business to live out their kinks they would be a hell of a lot more explicit and safe about these things. As far as I can tell none of these people would explicitly refer to any of these parties as an Orgy in the invite, leaving me to believe they are ashamed of the inherent sexism in the actions they are performing.

Or they're ashamed about living in a wider society that isn't fully accepting of the practice.

Be careful with that brush you're painting with. There are plenty of now-accepted lifestyles that previously got the exact same treatment. "They act that way because they know they're wrong!" often turns to "Oh, they acted that way because the rest of us were assholes about it."

I disagree, because they are sending these invitations to people they know will be on board. Although it is claimed they avoid the term to not have the photos of the parties if shared be extremely explicit, which supports your hypothesis.

I'm not implying there is anything wrong at all about orgies. I am claiming that calling these parties orgies would be more explicit and upfront and therefore less wrong. It's simply the fact that they can't call it a progressive orgy because they ratio of women to men is so incredibly skewed.
