Players: Husband and wife. Activists: Both.
Setting: Large room, such as living room, den, basement, or garage.
Aim: Rekindle a playful attitude toward sex.
Game Plan: All of us, as children, once had a playful attitude toward sex. Indeed, in psychoanalysis we say that sex is regression in the service of the ego. When sex is going well, we become not only childlike but even infantile, expressing all the pent-up needs from the earliest past to the present. This game serves to directly facilitate this playful attitude toward sex and foster a regression in the service of the ego.
Tie a volleyball net, rope, or string across the middle of a large room. (Whatever it is, call it the net.) Mark boundaries of the minicourt with a tape on the floor, or use a 9′ x 12′ rug as the court surface. Blow up a balloon to the size of a volleyball; the balloon is the volleyball.
As in regular volleyball, the server stands behind the line to serve, and scores points only on his or her serve. After the serve, each player has three hits to get the ball over the net. (One hit can be used to block the ball, one to set it up, one to spike it, etc.) Play stops when a player either fails to get the ball back over the net or knocks it out of bounds. The first player to reach 15 points (one point per serve) wins.
