Definition: The actual existence of rainbow parties is in dispute. The apparent origin of the term is a party where a number of girls (or women, but the story generally involves teenagers) wearing different colored lipsticks perform oral sex on a boy, thus creating a rainbow of colors on him. This term appeared in the early twenty first century and was tied to a surge in media hysteria about teenage sexuality.
