Sex dice
Dice game for sexual foreplay and romantic activities.
Sex dice are a game where each face of a die lists a body part instead of a number. After a roll, the player must give sexual attention to whichever body part lands face-up. The game is meant to build a sexual mood and encourage foreplay.
Originally called "sex dice" and focused on foreplay, the concept has since broadened into "love dice" for different aspects of a romantic relationship. These newer versions include dice for non-sexual activities and decisions. Common variations include date night and activity dice, which suggest options like "cook together" or "movie night"; food decision dice, with choices such as "sushi" or "pizza"; and conversation starter dice, which prompt actions like "share a favorite memory" or "a long hug with no words."
The Daily Princetonian has recommended sex dice for breaking the ice and extending foreplay. The University Daily Kansan suggested them for people who are not very limber, as a way to add variety to bedroom activities. One commercial version, called Foreplay Dice, uses two dice: one for body parts and one for actions, so a roll determines which action to apply to which body part.

Reader's Guide
The concept of sex dice has expanded into a broader category of 'love dice' intended for various aspects of a romantic relationship, including non-sexual activities and decisions for couples. Common modern variations include Date Night & Activity Dice, which suggest leisure activities like 'cook together' or 'movie night'; Food Decision Dice, featuring cuisines such as 'sushi' or 'pizza'; and Conversation Starter Dice, which prompt deeper emotional connection with statements like 'Share a favorite memory' or 'A long hug with no words.'
