Dices
Sex dice turn chance into the director of the scene: one die indicates the action, another the area of the body. Simple, inexpensive, and straightforward, they are the most minimalist erotic toy that exists. Ideal as a gag gift that ends up being used seriously.
Erotic dice: how to pick the right set for your partner
Erotic dice are one of the highest-rotation categories among adult games in our catalogue. The reason is practical: the barrier to entry is almost zero. They don't need batteries, they fit in a pocket, the mechanic takes five seconds to explain. Underneath that simplicity sit real differences between types — a SECRETPLAY kamasutra dice set and the action dice from Diablo Picante target very different couples and very different nights, and choosing wrong is the usual reason a set ends up at the bottom of a drawer.
The four families you'll see in the catalogue
Beyond brand names, erotic dice break into four types. Knowing which is which up front prevents buying the wrong thing.
- Position dice (Kamasutra) — each face shows a sex position. Roll, position comes up, you do it. Works best with couples that already have some physical experience together. Example: SECRETPLAY Kamasutra 25 mm Dice, or the various Diablo Picante Kamasutra variants (straight, LGBT girls, LGBT boys).
- Action and body-part dice — one die shows the verb (kiss, lick, stroke, bite), another the body zone. The combination is the prompt. Far more accessible for couples getting to know each other or who'd rather not jump straight to positions. Example: Diablo Picante Verb + Body Part Dice Set.
- Themed dice — specific variants exist: soft bondage dice (Fetish Submissive), threesome/orgy dice (Happy Lola Orgy of Love), dice with an hourglass that limits each action to a fixed time (SECRETPLAY Chronomasutra), or glow-in-the-dark dice for use with lights off (KHEPER GAMES Glow in the Dark Sex Dice).
- Combo sets and party packs — combine dice with other elements: cards, feathers, condoms, glasses. Useful when the set is a gift or for group play. Example: ARIA Please Me Play Dice and Cards, or the classic gift box dice + condom + feather.
The brands that matter and how they differ
The European market for adult party games is dominated by three brands with a clear stance. Worth knowing which is which before buying.
| Brand | Origin | Speciality | Price range | Language |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diablo Picante | Spain | Widest catalogue: position, action, kamasutra, LGBT-specific dice | £4-13 | Spanish (icons universal) |
| SECRETPLAY | Spain | Premium finish, multi-die sets, careful packaging | £7-18 | Spanish/English |
| Kheper Games | United States | Full boxed party games, glow-in-the-dark editions | £9-22 | English |
| Bijoux Indiscrets | Spain | Elegant design, gift sets, jewellery-style presentation | £11-20 | Multilingual |
| Black&Silver | Spain (importer) | Budget sets with coded action dice | £3-7 | Spanish/English |
| Tease & Please | Netherlands | Full board games (not just dice), adult party formats | £14-32 | Multilingual |
How to choose based on your partner
The deciding factor isn't the brand: it's the kind of couple. The map below crosses dice types with common profiles.
- New couple or first time trying → action dice (verb + body part). Zero physical pressure. Diablo Picante Action Dice or the SECRETPLAY 3 Dice Couples Set is the classic entry.
- Established couple looking to break routine → position dice. Roll, do the position. SECRETPLAY Kamasutra 25 mm is the canonical format.
- LGBT couples → look for dice with that specification. Diablo Picante LGBT Girls Kamasutra and LGBT Boys Kamasutra have positions adapted, not the straight set rebranded.
- Hen/stag-night gift → combo set or special packaging. The gift box ribbon (dice + condom + feather) or the ARIA Please Me Play Dice and Cards work visually as a gift.
- Party or threesomes → dice designed for group play. Happy Lola Orgy of Love or packs with "choose who" faces are built for 3+ players.
- Soft bondage / BDSM beginners → Fetish Submissive Dice. Faces combine "tie up", "blindfold", "command". Not a set for partners who haven't yet talked about the topic.
- Long sessions / lights-off play → glow-in-the-dark dice. KHEPER GAMES Glow in the Dark Sex Dice is the reference. Charge under light for a few minutes, then they glow in the dark.
Materials and why they barely matter here
Unlike penetrative toys, erotic dice don't contact mucous membranes, so material isn't a health question — it's a durability question. Most are injection-moulded acrylic or resin. What does vary is the print finish:
- Silkscreen on acrylic (most Diablo Picante) — cheaper, ink wears off after 100-200 rolls on a hard surface. Roll on bed or carpet and they last for years.
- Resin with embedded engraving (premium SECRETPLAY and Bijoux Indiscrets sets) — the information sits inside the material, so it doesn't rub off. Twice the price but indefinite lifespan.
- Inflatable EVA foam (15 cm inflatable dice) — party/gift gag format. Useful as a visual prop; not for prolonged play.
Common mistakes buying erotic dice
- Buying a position set for a couple that hasn't tried much — half the dice end up out of reach physically or psychologically. The set gets shelved after two nights. If in doubt, start with action dice, not positions.
- Ignoring the language — some Kheper Games and Tease & Please sets have actions only in English. Diablo Picante are in Spanish. If your partner's first language isn't either, it slows the game down.
- Assuming "erotic dice" always means kamasutra — there are more than ten types. Read the description before adding to cart.
- Buying gift packaging for your own use — Bijoux Indiscrets boxes are gorgeous but you pay for the box. For personal use, a £5 Diablo Picante does the same job.
FAQs
How many dice do I need to start?
One is enough. Most branded sets are monolithic (a single six-sided die with six actions). Two-dice sets (verb + body part, or position + location) add combination but also add a learning curve. For a first try we recommend a single-die set: starting with six clear actions is easier than facing 36 combinations on night one.
Can I read what's on each face?
Depends on the set. Diablo Picante and SECRETPLAY write the full action in Spanish ("besa", "lame el cuello"). Kheper Games use pictographic icons that bypass the language barrier but sometimes need the included guide. Bijoux Indiscrets are typically bilingual (Spanish + English) on each face.
Are they suitable for LGBT couples?
Only if specifically labelled as such. Standard kamasutra dice show heteronormative positions (penetrative penis-vagina). Diablo Picante has two sets explicitly designed for women-women and men-men couples, with positions adapted. Buying the "standard" set for a same-sex couple leaves almost every face useless.
Are they waterproof? Can I use them in the shower?
Acrylic and resin are water-resistant, but silkscreen ink isn't. Rolling silkscreened dice on a wet surface speeds up ink wear. If the plan is to use them in the bath or shower, choose a set with embedded engraving or an inflatable EVA one.
What's a safe gift if I don't know what my partner likes?
Combo or gift sets. The gift box ribbon (dice + condom + feather) and the ARIA Please Me Play Dice and Cards include varied elements, so even if one item misses the mark there are other options in the box. Avoid bondage or orgy sets as a gift to someone whose preferences you don't yet know — they're a hit only when you've already discussed the topic.
Are there erotic dice for solo use or only couples?
Almost all are designed for two people. There are a few single-player "fantasy" dice sets for masturbation (where the die decides toy, position, imagined scenario) but those are niche. If the recipient is solo and looking for erotic play, the wider erotic games category has cards and apps that work better solo.
What's the difference between Diablo Picante and SECRETPLAY?
Diablo Picante goes wide and cheap: many different sets at £4-10. SECRETPLAY runs fewer references but better finish and more careful packaging, in the £8-18 range. Both are Spanish brands, both have correct quality control. For a one-off, Diablo Picante. For a gift or recurring use, SECRETPLAY.
Do glow-in-the-dark dice actually work or is it marketing?
They work, with caveats. Phosphorescent acrylic needs to be charged by light (daylight or a lamp) for 5-15 minutes. The glow lasts 20-40 minutes in full darkness and fades after that. Functional for one session, not for a whole night. The canonical set is KHEPER GAMES Glow in the Dark Sex Dice.
When is an hourglass set worth it?
When the problem with your partner isn't "what to do" but "how to slow down". Hourglass sets (best-known: SECRETPLAY Chronomasutra) force you to hold each action for 30 or 60 seconds. They turn the game into something slower. For couples that tend to rush, the dynamic shift can be significant.
Can I combine several sets?
Yes, and it's one of the more interesting uses. Rolling a position die + a location die + a time die at once creates combinations no monolithic set offers. Mixing a Diablo Picante position die with a Chronomasutra hourglass works particularly well. The only practical rule: don't roll more than three dice at a time, or the combination gets memorised and the surprise factor goes.
