Exciting punishment games recommended for men (11–20)
Apply something that doesn’t sting/tingle
This is an activity where participants try to figure out which items among the miscellaneous goods in front of them will deliver an electric shock when pressed.
Since they don’t know which item will zap them, there’s also a scared reaction before pressing.
You can enjoy the strategy of taking turns choosing items, with the condition that the game ends when someone picks a non-zapping item.
It seems like it would be exciting not only when there are genuinely non-zapping items mixed in, but also in the twist where everyone believed the game would end, only to discover that every single item zaps.
Expressing gratitude to my parents over the phone
It can be embarrassing to express your gratitude again, and it’s not easy to say, is it? But unlike risky dares like confessing to someone of the opposite sex, this one leaves everyone—the person themselves, their parents, and the onlookers—feeling warm and happy afterward.
If the parents don’t pick up the phone, it seems fine to call a sibling, a best friend, or a spouse instead.
Purikura by myself
Compared to women, I think men have fewer opportunities to take purikura photos.
In that context, taking purikura alone feels really embarrassing, doesn’t it? But solo purikura is a great penalty game—no one gets hurt and everyone has a laugh—so I highly recommend it.
Since you’re taking purikura anyway, it’s best to go all out: be bold and have fun, and put effort into the doodles.
Throw away your shame and go wild!
Eat tire-shaped gummy candy
It’s a jet-black gummy that looks like a tire—so unappetizing you can hardly believe it’s food.
Since everything about it—its appearance, even its smell—screams that it tastes bad, try using this gummy as a punishment game.
If you have someone eat it with their eyes closed and their nose pinched, they’ll have no choice but to suffer purely from the taste, which really completes the experience.
Contrary to what you might hope, it doesn’t taste good despite its looks and smell; it has a flavor like old rubber that your body instinctively rejects, so you can count on getting some truly pained reactions.
Say what you like about your partner
Do you normally brag about and talk openly, without getting shy, about the good points and the things you love about your crush or partner? A lot of men, in particular, tend to get embarrassed and don’t talk about that stuff much in public, or even with friends.
So how about, as a penalty game, going all out and listing everything you love about your partner—really bragging about them? In other words, a full-on “lovey-dovey” session.
It might be embarrassing for the person sharing, but honestly, it can be embarrassing for the listeners too.
Still, let’s tease each other a bit and have fun getting hyped up with all the lovey-dovey talk!
serious flick on the forehead
A classic punishment game: the finger flick to the forehead.
You hold your middle finger back with your thumb, then let it snap and smack the other person’s forehead—that one.
Didn’t you often do it as a game or a forfeit back in elementary school? This version is a punishment game where you do that forehead flick seriously—very seriously.
You might think that just because you’re an adult, your finger strength hasn’t increased that much and it couldn’t hurt that bad, but actually, it hurts so much you’ll be writhing.
It even makes you think the person doing the flick must have a pretty painful finger too.
chugging carbonated drink
A very simple and easy punishment game you can do anywhere: chugging a carbonated drink.
Since it’s a punishment game, getting a big one—around 2 liters—looks impressive and really amps up the excitement.
The game is to see how much of that big bottle of soda you can chug in one go.
Even chugging water or tea is tough, but with a carbonated drink it’s really hard—you’ll feel it rising up (lol).
But try to finish it coolly, and even if you can’t, push yourself to the limit and turn it into a legendary story!
Take a handsome selfie
This is a punishment game where the person has to make the most handsome expression they can and take a photo of themselves.
You get to enjoy seeing what they think a “handsome look” is and how good they are at taking selfies.
Adding constraints—like attaching a massager to their arm so they can’t keep the camera steady—can create unstable photos and make it even more exciting.
Having to manage the photo’s quality themselves is also part of what makes this punishment tough.
foot reflexology massage
This is a very gentle punishment game where you give a foot reflexology massage to help someone get healthier.
Becoming healthier through foot reflexology comes with some pain, but let’s consider that a necessary risk to be endured.
The painful spots differ depending on the person’s health condition, so it might be good to ask about any problem areas before the massage.
The most painful spot corresponds to the worst area, so apply firm pressure to address that problem.
If you find it hard to apply enough force with your hands, you could try using a stick-shaped tool to press the points.
butt-letter
Didn’t you do ‘butt writing’ when you were a kid? You stand with your back to the person watching and move your butt to draw letters in the air—that thing.
If you write lazily, it’s hard to get the message across, so you have to stop, add hooks and sweeps, and express the strokes clearly, or it won’t be understood.
When you try to convey the characters properly, it naturally turns into a really funny movement to watch.
If you do it half-heartedly because you’re embarrassed, it won’t come across at all and you’ll end up having to do it over and over, so do it properly—like in a language textbook—and express it clearly!
