Here we are at the half-way point! As is now a mostly-annual tradition, I am unboxing one of Lovehoney’s sexy advent calendars and reviewing it day by day! The 2024 24-day adult advent calendar from Lovehoney and Womanizer retails for £149 at Lovehoney UK and $199 at Lovehoney US, and contains £457/$530 worth of products.
As I said, today is the half way point. That means it’s Day 12.
Lovehoney Advent Calendar 2024 Day #12: Snap Sex Position Card Game
Today it’s literally the card game “Snap” but as a sex position card game. Is the idea that you play the game and then when you get a “snap”, you have to have sex in that position? Because YKINMKBYKIOK and all, but that doesn’t sound sexy to me.
Also, they should really rename this as “Sex Position Card Game For Very Athletic Straight People.” Because seriously, look at them. They all assume, to a greater or lesser extent, a cisgender man and woman having penetrative vaginal sex. Some of them are fine, if fairly generic. Some are potentially doable, if you’re very fit, like “The Wheelbarrow”:
Others are… well, this:
Stop it, Lovehoney. You’re being silly now.
Pros
- Potentially a fun, goofy and low-pressure way into exploring new positions, I guess?
- Calls to mind this scene from The Bold Type in which our three bestie protagonists test out a new sex position for Scarlet Magazine.
- Some of these, at least, could potentially work for strap-on sex or anal sex (at least if you made some minor adjustments) as well as vaginal sex.
Cons
- A lot of these are just fairly standard positions that most people who have penetrative sex likely already have in their repertoire.
- The others are, as we have identified above, anything from “improbable if you’re not an athlete” to “physically im-fucking-possible.”
- Extremely cishetero and gendered
Verdict
You might get a little inspiration from this, or at the very least you’ll have a laugh trying out some of the more challenging positions. Overall, though, I don’t know why we’re still pretending that contorting yourself into all kinds of weird shapes is superior to or hotter than good old missionary, doggy style, or over-the-edge-of-the-bed fucking.
