...sexual gratification. I saw this in the April edition of PCGamer and thought that it had to be a joke (DS game in a PCG?) so I checked it out, and its legit! What the hell!

DESCRIPTION
SO!
What is this game?
Lapis - A magical pet adventure
(And
a stealthy primer on female sexual pleasure)
Platform: Nintendo DS
The hope is that the game would entertain females - without them ever needing to understand the sex metaphor. But at some point when they did start figuring out the connection to their own sexuality and pleasure, they would have learned some ideas and techniques behind sexual satisfaction.

OK that doesn't sound so bad...

Human sexual response...
Human sexual response
The way you play with the bunnies in order to win is patterned after the VARIETY of female sexual response
This is the overall pattern but it cant be achieved in the same way every time - different things work for different bunnies, at different stages of the game
For instance you may need to use tickling at first, and then humming into the ears. But after a while that stops having an effect, and you have to start tapping on its nose.

...OK now its getting bad. And a little creepy. Anything else you could tell us that'd make this even creepier?

GAMEPLAY
Depending on how you touch the bunny, it reacts to being touched.
Players manipulate the creature (bunny) on the touchscreen, which gives them magical energy to fly
You can touch the bunny in different ways stroking, scratching, tickling, etc
Also can use the microphone to talk, sing to, blow on the fur
The bunnies are analogous to female anatomy
not literal looking, but evocative

Why yes, you can!
Anyway, I doubt this will ever be published but its definitely interesting to see get made. Especially since it's being designed by a woman. I got the demo running (do it with Firefox, IE won't install it) but it was boring, short, and hard to tell just wtf I was doing.
Enjoy!

hahaha shit! Walked right in to that I suppose..
of all the stupid ridiculous sex shit thats going on in the industry THIS might actually get made, its made by a woman (I mean she must really know what she's doing ) and its supposed to be like nintendogs and chicks bought that in DROVES, so i don't see why people wouldn't try and sell this.
Still can't believe I walked in to that!
Since the bunnies are different.... I guess it has some technique training. But all it takes is 2-3 sentances with your partner to figure that stuff out.
Or maybe, i'm just that good.
So, if I have it backwards, so does the game designer...
I'm assuming you read the site? The woman behind the design says "I want my game to teach techniques of female sexual gratification to a target audience of females."

Now then...
Imagine a game like this for the Revolution? Yah thats right, you're thinking about the possibilities right now.

Yeah... the DS petting game for the girls, and the violent shaking of the Revolution controller for the boys. "That's right, shake that thing like a can of spray paint, boy! Now aim for that spider, it's wroth 10,000 points!."
didn't we have this thread a year ago?
No, Hawken's right. We actually did have this exact same thread a year ago. If the search engine went beyond that I'd find it, but it doesn't, so I can't.

Well if you scroll up you notice that i posted a link to a thread thats from sept 2005, but was there even older one?
oh fuck off you live in japan where everything has clitoris-esque attributes!

FTW!
Am I the only one that does'nt see the logic in this being geared for females? I mean, maybe i'm daft, but I personally know damned well what i like and dont. should'nt females? maybe i'm missing out on something, but i did'nt think technique was all too important when by yourself. do they spend that much time refining expertise?
*you have reached level 12 in {censored}*
train your man, sheesh.
Note: does anyone get the ironey in this.. if a female... has a nintendo DS.... unless she is horribly ugly or a total loon/bitch... would attract the attention of sex starved geeks. hence no need for self gratification with legions of DS fanboys at hand, who have played this game and already know the techniques....seeee....seeEEEEEEEEEEEEE? o_0
though, i guess i commend the product for stepping on new grounds, albiet pointless.

In my experience, many do not. All but one of my close non-industry friends are female, and they're all out of touch with their own bodies to some extent. I'm talking about women in their late 20s here, one as old as 30. Some masturbate, but one has never ever dared, and one says she derives absolutely no pleasure from it. From a male perspective this seems strange, and also a little sad I think. I can't swear that my sample of friends is representative of the entire female population and there must be significant exceptions anyway, but it's at least a hint that women tend to have a steeper learning curve when it comes to getting down with themselves. I'd say that anything that might help them, especially in a novel way with a calculatedly low "eww!" factor, is probably at least a good idea.
This will probably make some of you uncomfortable, but my wife and I have noticed recently that our four-yr-old daughter is already quite adept at this...
[/ QUOTE ]
My daughters were all the same way except it didn't last up until they were 4. My gf's 1 yr old daughter even does it. As soon as her diaper is off her hand is right down there. =/
But, anyway, yeah I read about this game in PCGamer, too.
I played that demo, and it sucked, hard. Blah! Blech! Blorf!
<blatant criticism>
Edit: Actually, I guess I have played it, at least the demo.
Maybe, if the game teached them to play it with a joystick, we'd all win something from it.
