I don’t usually go for those typically cheesy “games for lovers” you see pushed in stores when even the faintest whiff of Valentine’s Day approaches. And believe me, I’ve seen a million of them, especially when I worked at the Dildo Hut. But anything from San Francisco based company Thrusti Kicki Grabbi is adorable and cute and to die for (or rather, to kneel for) with all their fem-dom Victoriana and sweetness. But now they’ve got something I *really* want: they made a game I’d love to play with Hacker Boy — Thrusti Kicki Grabbi’s Truth or Dare. Dice and cards, so simple, but so naughty. This game also seems like a great way to get (or try out) something you’ve wanted to ask for but don’t know how to ask for it…
It’s not that HB and I need to play any games to get more intimate; the Truth or Dare game just looks so sweet, sexy, fun, smart and very revealing. Plus, maybe we could play it with a new friend….? (Note to self: Better work on that Craigslist ad now.) I also love that it’s gender neutral and lightly kinky, perfect for pretty much every adventurous couple I know. (And no, no one’s paying me to say this, nor do I have a copy: it’s just now on my wish list). But I did email TKG and got some sample “truths” and “dares” from the cards because none of the other online marketing actually explained what was in the game — but I can:
Sample “truths”:
“If you were the teacher of a sex-ed class, what would be the one lesson you would teach your students that no one ever taught you?”
“What sexual characteristics or ability do you envy in the opposite sex? What sexual characteristic of your gender do you take the most pride and joy in?”
“If you could watch an intimate moment from your partner’s life before the two of you got together, what would it be? Their introduction to sensuality? Or a stolen moment of self-love? Something innocent or taboo?”
“Would you rather be the spanker or the spanking recipient? Why? What implement would you use to do the spanking, or what would you prefer to be spanked with?”
Sample “dares”:
“Now is your chance to woo with words. Using your best penmanship, write an erotic letter from your tongue or fingers to the particular body part of your partner that you enjoy licking or touching. You have five minutes to write the letter. When you’ve finished, read it aloud to your partner.”
“Honesty is the best policy. If your partner doesn’t already know where your most ticklish places are, you must reveal them now. With the aid of a watch or timer your partner will have 20 seconds of unfettered, bare-skin access to the area. If you do not comply with the requirement of this dare, your partner has the option of restraining you.”
“Role-Play: You know you’ve always wanted to be a naughty doctor or a saucy nurse. Your chance has finally come to take your partner’s temperature, check their pulse and evaluate their response of stimuli. Make sure to give them thorough examination!”
