I know it is the lounge and all, but that actually is something I hadn't seen in my bit of searching about their ecology and behavior.

Funny account of a grey whale "orgy" at the link -- and several sources cited multiple mates if not a legend
of bromantic assistance.
.
"In 2009 I watched a single female and a single male speeding around Laguna Ojo de Liebre in the
preliminary “fast swimming” stages of their courtship. They were joined along the way by another
solo whale. Then 5 minutes later another whale joined. Then that group of four whales (I do not
know how many males and females) swam through an area of the lagoon where a group of 3 were
engaged in courtship.
Those two groups joined together and the original couple of whales had swelled to 7 whales in a
span of about 15 or 20 minutes. This swarm of mating, racing Gray whales moved across the lagoon
in a northerly direction away from our boat. I asked the boat captain to follow. He did his best, but
when the mating whales are engaged in their fast swimming it is so darned difficult
to follow them.
