This dataset contains the full corpus of studies included in the scoping review “Sex in the Plural: A Scoping Review on Group Sex Cultures and Sexual Health in the Biomedical Era.” It includes 38 peer-reviewed articles identified through systematic searches in Scopus and Web of Science and screened using the SALSA (Search, Appraisal, Synthesis, and Analysis) framework.

For each study, the dataset provides bibliographic information, group sex culture category, study design, methodological approach, sample characteristics, research aims, and key findings. It also includes additional coding fields used for thematic synthesis, such as conceptual categories and analytical notes.

The dataset covers publications from 2011 to 2025, a period selected to capture the contemporary development of research on group sex cultures and to enable comparison across pre- and post-PrEP contexts in the biomedical HIV prevention landscape.

This resource is intended to support transparency, reproducibility, and further research on collective sexual practices, sexual health, and biomedicalization.
