Hype-Inducing Penalties Recommended for Men (21–30)
Spend time in a full-body tights suit
It’s a punishment game where you have to wear a full-body suit and go about your activities.
You often see those suits on TV variety shows—the full-body tights.
It’s embarrassing enough and gets everyone excited even indoors, but wearing this outside would be pretty mortifying…
In that case, you might as well have as much fun with it as you can!
Read my original poem
You might have experienced it in language arts class, but I don’t think many people write poems on a daily basis.
Of course, it’s great if you can write poems that are cool or profound, but writing skills aren’t something you pick up overnight.
So how about a punishment game where you read your own original poem aloud in front of everyone? Choose a theme like love or the future, and earnestly express your feelings in a poetic way.
Just imagining reading it to others is embarrassing, isn’t it? But surprisingly, it might reveal someone’s hidden literary talent.
cosplay
This is a classic penalty game where the loser has to wear a specified costume.
You can make them suffer in various ways—like taking photos of them in cosplay or having them continue the game as-is.
If you choose an outfit that combines embarrassment with restricted movement, it might create a negative loop that makes them more likely to lose subsequent rounds.
It’s probably more fun if participants don’t know what costumes have been prepared, so you can enjoy their reactions when they see them.
Tickling the soles of the feet
It’s a simple penalty game where the person’s body is securely restrained and the soles of their feet are tickled until the set time runs out.
It’s tough for the person on the receiving end, but because the space fills with laughter, it helps liven up the atmosphere.
Some people aren’t ticklish on their soles, so set a slightly longer time and proceed while figuring out which areas they’re sensitive to.
Since the theme is laughter, it pairs well with games like “you lose if you laugh,” creating an overall happy vibe and making it more fun.

Cute eyes with eyelid glue (eyelid tape)
These days you can buy eyelid-fold products for 100 yen.
For men, the tape type is recommended over the liquid kind.
If you already have big, double-lidded eyes, try making them monolids instead.
Just changing the impression of your eyes can make things a lot more fun.
If you keep your eyes looking wide and bright the whole time, people might burst out laughing every time they look back at you.
Haagen-Dazs treat
It’s the kind of casual conversation or dare you might hear among students, but just the phrase “Häagen-Dazs” is already exciting, isn’t it? And if it’s not just a few people but dozens, the cost gets pretty high.
So, if you’re the one suggesting this punishment game, make sure to consider the number of people and the situation before proposing it.
How do you call your partner? And how do they call you?
Let’s have them reveal the special names they only use for each other as a forfeit! The classic is dropping honorifics and calling each other by first name, but sometimes they actually use “-chan” or “-kun,” or even nicknames no one else knows.
For many people, that’s something they’d never want others to find out, which makes it perfect for a penalty game! If there’s a couple there, you could have them call each other by those names, too.
It might be embarrassing for them, but for everyone else it’s a forfeit that shares a bit of their happiness!
ear cleaning
Ear cleaning feels good and a lot of people probably like it and do it every day, right? I’ve even heard that you don’t actually need to do ear cleaning.
There’s that common image of resting your head on a woman’s lap while she cleans your ears.
How about trying that as a punishment game between men? Whether it’s the opposite sex or the same sex doesn’t really matter when it comes to having your ears cleaned, but it’s not often you have someone close to you, like a friend, do it.
It would make for a memorable punishment game, wouldn’t it? (lol)
ventriloquism
Let’s try that famous ventriloquism bit: “Huh? Where did that voice come from…?” If by some miracle you pull it off, it’ll definitely bring the house down.
And even if you don’t, people will crack up with retorts like, “Your mouth is moving like crazy!!” It’s normal to be bad at it, so just go all out.
Nostril hair removal
This is a product that’s often sold at Don Quijote.
Since it requires a microwave, it might be suited for a punishment game at home.
If you’re at an izakaya where you can borrow a microwave, it shouldn’t be a problem.
The strange thrill of pulling out a bunch of nose hairs will liven up the atmosphere.
Whether to show the stick after you’ve pulled it out is up to the person themselves.
