I brought sex dice to girls' night. Here's how it actually went

I was sent this by Do Me Erotic. The night was my own doing.

Short answer: they're fun, and it's because the dice take the blame.

Sex Dice is a boxed set you roll to get a random action, body part and location. It's built for couples. But at girls' night the useful part turned out to be that nobody has to be the person who brings something up. The dice said it. I just read it out. Things got interesting fast, and I mean the conversation, before anyone asks.

Isn't this a couples thing?

It is, and I want to be upfront that I was using it off-label. Do Me makes it for two people on a date night.

But the exact thing that makes it work for couples, which is that randomness removes the awkwardness of asking, is what made it work with five of us and a bottle of wine. Nobody chose the topic, so nobody had to defend it.

What's in the box?

Dice for actions, body parts and locations, plus instructions nobody read. Smooth edges, clear printing, and a box that doesn't announce itself if it's sitting out. No board, no cards, no setup. You open it and roll.

How we played it

Roll, read it out, and everyone answers the same question: would you, have you, or absolutely not.

You end up playing the conversation instead of the prompt, which is the version that works in a group. I'd suggest agreeing on that format before you start, otherwise the first roll lands and everyone just looks at each other.

Did it get weird?

Less than I expected, and this is the bit I actually found interesting.

The awkward moment in any conversation like this is always the person who raises it. Make that random and the whole thing loosens up. The prompts are suggestive and silly rather than graphic, so it stayed on the funny side of the line the entire time. One friend who I genuinely thought would hate it was the one who kept rolling.

Would I give it as a gift?

Yes, and I have. The packaging is presentable enough to hand over without wrapping it in three bags, it doesn't need explaining, and it doesn't assume anything about someone's relationship beyond a sense of humor.

It also travels, which is why it's been to two weekends away since.

Questions I got asked afterwards

How many dice do you get?

A few, covering actions, body parts and locations, so the combinations change every roll. Check the product page for the exact count.

Do you need to read the instructions?

No. They're in there but it's roll-and-follow. We never opened them.

Is the box discreet?

Yes. Compact and designed to be discreet, which matters for both storage and packing.

Who's it actually for?

Adults 18 and over, mainly couples in their late twenties to forties, including new couples and anyone buying a gift.

Sex Dice is made by Do Me Erotic. 18+.
