Bad Sex: The Roleplaying Game is a roleplaying game about bad sex. If you want to feel the cringe, embarrassment and humor of sex that goes bad, this is your game. In Bad Sex, the sex is always between consenting adults. They want to have sex with each other but for whatever reason, the results are mediocre at best, mortifying at worst.

The style of the game is collaborative. The players experience the game by emotionally relating to their characters and their embarrassments and failures. Everyone works together to make each sex scene fail in an interesting way.

The book features guidelines on how to run and play sex scenes and bad sex scenes. It has two complete ready-to-play scenarios, The Grim Cheaters and Condoms On the Dancefloor. It provides suggestions for further bad sex scenes as well as scenarios expanding it from its realistic contemporary style to scifi, fantasy or historical fiction.

Bad Sex Deck is a separate product you can use to randomly create scenes of bad sex. All the information in the deck is replicated in the book in the form of tables so you don’t have to buy it to play the game.
