I’ve never made out in the back row of a movie theater. Have you?

Well if you have, you’re lucky we’re not playing Circle of Death or Waterfalls. You’d be taking a swig of your beer or a shot of something strong right about now.

There seems to be a trend when playing the Never Have I Ever drinking game. You start out making silly sentences and chugging along through some lengthy waterfalls. Before you know it, you’ve had one too many and you’ve completely forgotten to keep a watchful eye on the thumb master.

Then someone comes up with the bright idea, “Hey, let’s just do ‘Never have I evers.'”

You’re either going to say yay or nay and that all depends on the group you’re playing with. If they’re really good friends of yours, not so fun. You already know a lot about them. Playing with someone who has dating potential? Fabulous.

If they tip their cup to having double digit partners, it may not be so impressive.

A significant other? Probably not.

Your partners always seem to surprise you. ‘You did what?’ ‘Where?’ ‘How ’bout that. That’s great.’ ‘I didn’t need to know.’

The basics are all right, but the basics are never covered in this game. You don’t need to know about that time in the pool with their ex.

The game serves as an amazing way to learn about other people’s sex lives. Those who normally wouldn’t be quite so open are willing to admit to having a one-night stand among numerous other taboos.

Let’s not forget those who are afraid to divulge any information at all. They say, ‘I’ve never sky dived.’ Scandalous. Try not to shock me too much now.

Then there are those who lie. If you’re playing with a group of strangers, this could work. But if we know you and the boring escapades which define your sex life, not so much. We know you haven’t done the deed with someone else in the room when you won’t even kiss anyone in public.

The next time someone suggests dropping the other 10 components of the game and making it purely ‘Never have I evers,’ think twice. Scan the room and decide if you’re willing to open the door to your closet of sexcapades.
