Sex dice

Sex dice is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Sex dice rather than just read about it. In short: Sex dice is a dice game intended to heighten the sexual atmosphere and promote foreplay. Instead of numbers, each face on the dice contains the name of a body part; the body part that faces up when the die is rolled must then be given sexual attention.

Key takeaways

Sex dice belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Sex dice to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Sex dice from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Sex dice is a dice game intended to heighten the sexual atmosphere and promote foreplay. Instead of numbers, each face on the dice contains the name of a body part; the body part that faces up when the die is rolled must then be given sexual attention.

History According to a 1999 SPIN magazine article, the game was especially popular among American teenagers. In 2020 dice were controversially featured in a tool kit distributed to secondary school students by an LGBT charity in the United Kingdom.

Themes and Variations While originally known as "sex dice" and focused on sexual foreplay, the concept has expanded into a broader category of "love dice" intended for various aspects of a romantic relationship. This evolution includes dice designed to facilitate non-sexual activities and decisions for couples. Common modern variations include:

Date Night & Activity Dice: These dice are used to decide on leisure activities, with faces suggesting options like "cook together," "movie night," or "go for a walk. Food Decision Dice: Created to solve the common dilemma of choosing a meal, these dice may feature different cuisines like "sushi," "pizza," or "Mexican." Conversation Starter Dice: These are designed to foster deeper emotional connection with prompts such as "Share a favorite memory" or "A long hug with no words."

Reviews The Daily Princetonian suggests rolling sex dice to "break the ice and extend [one's] foreplay." The University Daily Kansan advises a roll of the sex dice for those who are not particularly limber (and therefore cannot try "new and inventive position[s]") as a means to "bring variety to [one's] bedroom romps." A commercially available version, also called Foreplay Dice, consists of two dice, one with body parts and the other with activities; a roll of the dice will determine which action is to be applied to which body part.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Sex dice

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Sex dice claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Sex dice before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Sex dice ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Sex dice

In research: Sex dice appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Sex dice in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Sex dice is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Dice, Novelty items, Sex toys, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Sex dice outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
