This is a sexual party game for two or more couples; three to five couples is probably best. One female is the Special Guest who will be the Center of Attention. If a group of couples plays the game repeatedly, the role of Special Guest should rotate. If a male becomes the Special Guest, there is a somewhat different set of rules--closely parallel, but different. The Special Guest may be chosen in advance, or chosen by lot after everyone arrives.
This game was inspired by a great short story that is apparently no longer in print. It had the nude arrival of the person who gets all the attention, the coffee table, and the taking of turns. All the rest is my own invention, much expanded and elaborated from the original.
Everyone invited should review the rules before agreeing to participate; you don't want anyone surprised and backing out halfway through the evening. All players need to be open to experimenting with both dominant and submissive roles. The Special Guest certainly has to play as a submissive; the other players will mostly be dominant.
All rules can be modified to fit the comfort level of the players; whole rounds can be omitted. Females who cannot deal with same-sex contact can choose to be observers rather than players. Those who choose to be observers must completely strip and fondle their pussies, keeping them open and wet throughout the evening. They can rejoin the action in the Finale. The Special Guest cannot refuse all same-sex contact unless all other females choose to be observers.
The group can agree, or the Special Guest can request, that particular tasks be omitted from the list. The group can agree that all tasks will be halved, or doubled, or whatever. They can agree to a cap on the total number of strokes in the impact play part of the game, or the total number of strokes on the same body part. This set of rules provides a structure, and enough detail to completely guide a game, but details can be changed. The players and the Special Guest are in charge of their own game. Just keep in mind that if you omit too much, and especially if you beg off tasks after being assigned them, you quickly begin to miss the point.
As the rules are written, the Special Guest cannot refuse any task. Even so, she should have a safe word. If she ever uses it, she and the rest of the group should then decide how to proceed without ending the game.
Other players can refuse tasks, but only if they accept a penalty. That penalty escalates as the game progresses, and eventually becomes severe; it is intended to deter players from refusing tasks. Player's partner must perform the task that was refused, in addition to taking his or her own turn. If both partners refuse the task, each is subject to double the usual penalty for that round.
The game calls for group nudity and lots of sexual contact, but it does not call for full sexual intercourse with anyone other than each player's regular partner. That rule should be changed only by unanimous consent obtained well in advance of the party; no one should be pressured to go beyond the rules on this point, or forced to decide on short notice. If this rule is changed, the group should obviously think about using condoms.
The hosts should review all tasks well in advance and have all necessary equipment on hand. All equipment is readily available on Amazon, or at kinkstore.com, or at your local hardware store. But some of it is pricey; all players should chip in. You need the following items on hand. You won't need all of them, but chance will determine which ones you use.
