This a short game where you spank the heck out of a dude and learn about how BDSM communities attempt to formalize consent / caring. I was really interested in how we can make games about intimacy without a "kindness coins = sex cutscene" trope, and how we can use expressive gestures to roleplay / think about pain and intimacy.(For the record, I don't think my game gets it right, and it has a lot of flaws... this stuff is hard to design!)

Also, um, this kind of went viralon Vine (1,600,000+ loops!) andon Tumblr (26,000+ notes!)so I guess the internet is pretty thirsty.

If you are interested in work like this, also try playing:

• Encyclopedia Fuckme and the Case of the Vanishing Entree, by Anna Anthropy
• .error404, by Lana Polansky

IS THIS "SAFE FOR WORK"?!I genuinely do not think of this game as pornography (there's too much distance / formality to it), though I suppose I can't stop anyone from getting off to it...

but seriously -- the most nudity in this game is some hairy beefcake chests and (maybe, if you negotiate it) some naked jiggling butts... technically, this is nothing worse than a US PG-13 movie kind of thing. I imagine the light BDSM context might make it NSFW in some workplaces; hopefully you don't work in those places.
