which_chickWhen I was young, there was this game called "I've never!" It was a drinking game.
The way it worked (for the geeky, non-drinking audience members) was that the speaker would say "I've never..." and then everybody in the group who *had* done whatever had to drink. Simplicity itself, really. It was a very interesting way to find things out about people and usually only took about three or four "I've never"s to drift into challenges like "I've never kissed anyone with tongue" or similar, drifting downhill rapidly thereafter... unless you were a member of the geeky non-drinking audience, in which case you happily continued to play wildcard nonsexual challenges, entirely missing the two points (like a snake penis!) of the whole thing, which are (a) to get lit and (b) to engage in smutty and revealing dialogue, hopefully in mixed company.
People quit playing "I've never!" about the time all the easy bases are covered... everybody's kissed with tongue and damn near everybody's had heteronormative sex and probably better than half of 'em have put their mouths on other peoples' parts (Do there exist people who don't go down? I've never found one in my bed, is why I'm asking. Not, mind, that I'd find one in my bed more than once in any case, but still. You'd think I'd have run across one of them by now...) and so forth. Just because, as people age out of the easy stuff, the challenges have to go from "I've never, y'know, touched it" to "I've never used heavy plastic sheeting to cover the floor and three feet up the walls in the second bedroom and handed out recreational drugs and bottles of salad oil at the door" does not mean that you have to stop playing "I've never!" but people do stop. Probably they're too busy trying to get the Wesson out of the hall carpet. (Why yes, I have been reading porn again. How could you tell?)
