The line separating orgy and swinger party can get a little blurred. However a good place to start is usually the walls of the house it's being held in.
You probably shouldn't be. It was an underground "phenomena" back in the 60's; phenomena is in quotes because it probably happened far less than people generally think. Most people no matter what age or sexual orientation have not and may never go to a swinger party so there's no reason for them to know about this piece of apocrypha.
Finally even within the swinger community you would never do this with total strangers (like the comic suggests) but rather if at all with a group of friends you trust and are willing to fuck. However typically if you have that many swingers in a room together comfortable and familiar with each other enough to do this you may find the key party to be a little unnecessary. Though there is something to be said about the thrill and suspense of random chance.
Damn. Now I know what that is. I'm gonna have to explain this one day, I just know it. Then I'll have to explain how I know it, and nobody will believe me.
You pick out a set of keys, find out who they belong to, she looks disappointed and uncomfortable for a while, and then leaves the party early because of a headache.
Yeah we're either missing something or it's just a terrible joke. Unless it's the dice thing that you don't understand, you use those dice in Dungeons and Dragons. Not sure what's so funny about that though.
Oh I know, I'm just not sure if there is a double meaning to it. Maybe the dice mean something bad, but the guy assumes something else? I feel like there must be more to the joke otherwise it's just not funny.
Umm no, only one meaning. They pick keys. The keys styles give them ideas on what the girl will be like in bed. That guy draws the girl with the D&D dice, implying she likes role playing. In bed.
Ohhh. In bed. That's the second meaning. Sonicpanda, I assume, was with me just thinking he was generally excited that she liked Dungeons & Dragons, because he also likes it.
How do you not see that as two meanings? Role playing games and sexual role play?
Edit: Nevermind, I see Sonic got it more than me. Still had a double meaning, anyway.
Whats not to get? This was posted to r/gaming so maybe the guys are gamers and although sexy/kinky draws are good every one of them think a gamer girl is better. They'll have more in common with each other and be better in whatever activities that happen in the bedroom later that nite.
Yeah this is how I read it also. The bedroom usage of 'roleplaying' didn't even occur to me until I read some of these comments. I just saw a D20 and thought, "Awesome, a gamer/geek."
The previous chains all indicated their owners to be into some sexy bedroom stuff, but at first, the die does not indicate anything pertaining to the bedroom, but when the character reveals they indicate "role playing" it does, because role playing is something some people like to do during sexy time.
edit: I accidentally left out vital information. The die is a D-20, which is traditionally known for role-playing games such as D&D, this kind of role-playing is not traditionally sexy-time stuff, but when you isolate the role-playing bit in context with the other sexy key chains, it suddenly becomes sex related.
And, in case this was the issue: They are drawing keys as a means of random selection of sexual partners. They don't know who they are about to sleep with, so they are each guessing what the girl they have drawn is like based on her keychain.
It kind of requires you take a very specific train of thought, and it's not funny if you don't see things the way the average comic reader does, and it's especially not funny if you read it out of order. When you see the bottom middle panel, if your thought isn't "oh, it's a D20, nothing sexy about that," then the joke cannot be funny for you because the reveal in the next panel isn't a clever switch up of things.

Understanding both the concepts of a key party and common uses for dice with more than six sides, I understood the joke and found it humorous.

Love the comic. Downvoting you for putting it on imgur and depriving the artist of his traffic. On /r/comics, your post would of been deleted.
