  • Question
    What happens if they want more than a kiss?

    Do only what you are comfortable with. No game gives any person the right to expect more from you than what you want.
  • Question
    What do I do if someone kisses me while playing Spin the Bottle?
    Community Answer
    If you don't want to kiss them, then push them away and tell them to stop. If you are fine with it, then go for it and pucker up!
  • Question
    Is there anything special done if you spin the same person twice in a row?
    Community Answer
    Often it depends on how you play. Some people will make it a longer kiss the second time, and longer and longer each time after. Others keep it as it is. It's a good idea to discuss the rules before playing, so that things like this can be agreed upon by all players ahead of the action.
  • Question
    What if I spin the bottle and it lands on my crush?
    Community Answer
    Stay calm, act like it's no big deal, and kiss them.
  • Question
    What if you're forced to kiss and you're called a loser if you don't kiss?
    Community Answer
    If you don't feel comfortable kissing someone, you shouldn't really play the game. If you're forced to, tell the people you are playing with that you feel uncomfortable and have changed your mind about the game and withdraw from it. If they call you a loser, just say "Yeah, whatever, at least I know my boundaries now, so thanks for helping me to realize this." and leave it at that. It's no big deal unless you allow it be one.
  • Question

  • Question

  • Question
    Should I worry that I will upset my girlfriend if I am a lesbian and I want to play spin the bottle?

    Community Answer
    No matter what your sexual orientation, if you have a partner you should discuss it with them before playing. If it's just a game and they know it's all in fun they could be fine with it, or they could be really uncomfortable with the idea and prefer that you don't play. It would be better for your relationship to know how your partner feels beforehand.
  • Question

  • Question
    How do I learn how to kiss?
    Community Answer
    It depends on what kiss you're going for. If it's just a simple kiss on the lips, lean towards the person and pucker up. If it's a more intimate kiss, like in a make out session, or a French kiss, lean forward and tilt your head to one side and kiss. If you're using tongue, then open your mouth slightly and press your tongue against the other person's.
  • Question
    What do I do if the person is the same sex?
    Community Answer
    If you feel comfortable enough, go for it. If you don't feel comfortable, then perhaps you shouldn't play the game (otherwise you'll eventually end up kissing someone of the same sex).

    Don't force people to play a game they don't like or are not interested in. Instead, look for some people your own age who are keen to play it and then you'll have a chance to do so, such as when you go to a party where there are other people than your usual group of friends.

    Keep it casual, and just say something like, "Hey, does anyone feel like playing spin the bottle?" and wait to see what the responses are. If they don't know what it is, then you'll need to be prepared to explain what the game is and how to play it.
