I immediately though there was matter for a true party game, a kind of adult twister more subtle than the stupid drunkard games sometimes played at the end of wedding parties. The problem with apps like the one used in this video is that many of the random positions are not really compatible with the game, mostly because pushing on a balloon with one\u2019s face is not really fun, and could be dangerous. I looked on Amazon for card games with various sexual position, so that I could sort the cards and keep only the ones really fun to play. There are many such card games available, but most of them are of really bad taste.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_0131.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4541\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/blog\/2015\/05\/06\/rencontres-ludopathiques-2015-2015-ludopathic-gathering\/dsc_0131\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_0131.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"960,638\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1430759885&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Kamasutra\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_0131.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4541\" src=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_0131.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_0131.jpg 960w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_0131-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_0131-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>You already got the rules. A random card is drawn, and all couples assume the position with an inflated balloon in the contact zone. At the gamemaster\u2019s signal, everyone pushes, and the first couple to pop their ballon wins the round and keeps the card. A few tests with friends at my Ludopathic Gathering showed that this works very well.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So, in 2015, I land at Gen Con with my prototype, a hundred ballons and about forty cards.

I wanted something cute and light, not vulgar or pornographic. David\u2019s first idea was to draw pandas, probably the most kawaii animal. This was made even more fun by the fact that Pandas are not very interested in sex, having sexual intercourse only once every two years (BTW, I recommend Mian Mian\u2019s novel Panda Sex). Pandas were a false good idea, their clumsy silhouette and short legs making many positions impossible to draw.\u00a0So David went back to good old humans, a cute and chubby couple. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kamasutra-roseau-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6545\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/blog\/2017\/07\/27\/kamasutra\/kamasutra-roseau-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kamasutra-roseau-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"650,460\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Roseau\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Kamasutra&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kamasutra-roseau-2.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6545\" src=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kamasutra-roseau-2.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kamasutra-roseau-2.jpg 650w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kamasutra-roseau-2-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kamasutra-roseau-2-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/kamasutra-roseau-2-424x300.jpg 424w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>I wrote the rules in French and English, and looked on the web for the English names of the various positions, and for the French names of a few ones since I\u2019m far from knowing everything about the subject.

We considered adding German names and rules, but gave up when we found out that the German names for positions were very long and most times not as fun or poetic as the French, English and Japanese ones.

I want to say that sex should not always be taken seriously (sometimes, for sure, but not always, and not on principle), and that it is a game theme like any other. Totalitarian ideologies, and especially religions which are making a strong comeback these days, have always tried to control not only sexuality, but also all discourse about sex. Having fun of it, playing it, is also a way to condemn their guilt inducing discourse, which is as immoral as it is moralizing. Talking casually and not seriously about sex is already an act of intellectual resistance.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I was criticized for the absence of any homosexual position in the game. I can see the point, but I think this kind of remark also takes sexuality (and games) too seriously. It comes from people who try to make sexual preferences a critical part of one&#8217;s identity, when they are just a question of taste and should not be socially more important than preferences about food or music.
