There’s a topic we haven’t talked about enough yet here at qLit, even though we think it’s important, and we meant to do so from the get go: sex. Or rather: SEX! Moreover open, honest discussion of female sexuality, especially lesbian sex, is a topic neglected by all platforms, not just qLit. All that is about to change now!
We’re launching a new series, sponsored by vágyaim.hu , in which we discover the world of sex toys and accessories and discuss everything and anything from lube 101 to strap-ons, anal toys and nipple clamps. What, when, which one, how, how many times, why, why not? All questions you asked in embarrassment or did not ask at all, or if you did, you couldn’t find an answer. We are going to answer it all, including the questions you didn’t even know you wanted to ask!
As a warmup, Kri and her partner tested Our Sex Game, an erotic board-game.
Going by the name it sounds like another typical erotic game where you have to try weird sexual positions that only work for straight couples and every other card has instructions with ‘get your boyfriend to…’ in them. OSG does not differentiate between genders, and they make this neutrality clear right on the box: the game can be enjoyed by lesbian and gay couples too. Finally a game that includes us too!
The point of the game: enjoy yourself!
The box contains 1 board, 72 cards, 4 dice, 2 pieces and a rulebook that’s roughly half a page long. The rules are easy to understand, and after a couple of minutes of preparation we‘re good to go. The gameplay is typical to your average board-game with dice, the first to finish wins but here victory isn’t the only cause for happiness: with each roll we eagerly await what new task we’re given.
The fields, the cards and the dice are divided into three categories: sensual, erotic and X-treme. The initials of the categories gives us the word SEX, which is also the shape of the game’s route, so the game’s end goal is pretty self-explanatory. Based on my own experience, it’s hard to get all the way to the end of the letter X without getting all wrapped up in each other.
Get ready!
Before they start, both players write down their deepest sexual fantasy, and keep it a secret till the end of the game. After all, the winner’s prize is to play out this fantasy with their partner. What a win-win ending!
Besides the fields where you have to draw a card or roll the dice there are also some labelled drink and feast, so you should have some food and drink at hand. We did this with a bottle of wine, Nutella and strawberries, but honestly it’s up to your personal taste.
The one problem you might run into is if you can’t really move around in your flat, because there are several fields that ask you to change location to complete the task. In this case, feel free to stay on the couch or bed where you started the game. We tried to give every option a shot, so I can safely report that caressing and biting on the loo are not exactly sexy.
Key word: gradual build-up!
The game’s arc is very well designed, the tasks fit the segment of the board we’re currently at really well. Excitement mounts gradually as we progress from lighter, sensual tasks to the truly titillating extreme cards.
The game gets the most exciting if you interpret the tasks given by the cards and dice through the lens of your own fantasies. For example if we got to a field where we had to roll, we rolled several times, to combine the tasks of kissing, cuddling and biting.
Who do we recommend it for?
OSG is great for new couples too, as it gives you the perfect chance to map out the sexual desires and needs of your partner. On the other hand, some of the tasks might also get seasoned couples by surprise. Like how we never considered playing tag naked, oiled up, or counting how many sex poses we could get into in 60 seconds. These sort of tasks occur towards the end of the game, the levels below include things like watching erotic films, spanking or drawing on the other’s body with your tongue.
OSG is perfect if you want to try something new with your partner, if you’re planning a romantic weekend or are trying to spice up your sex-lives. Exciting, intimate and sexy presented in such a tasteful way you wouldn’t even be embarrassed by giving it as a present to your friends.
