FREE LIVES has made a name for itself with its boundary-pushing titles such as BroForce and Genital Jousting, mostly due to the off-beat humour and the unapologetic nature of their style. They create entertaining games, and some of those games are somewhat questionable. Heck, Genital Jousting is a game that is banned on Twitch.
I’d argue that few games live so unapologetically in the space between absurd humour, experimental design, and adult content quite like Sex With Friends, which FREE LIVES released under the enigmatically named “B-Team” label. It doesn’t hide behind innuendo or subtlety. It wears its ridiculous concept proudly on its wobbly, polygonal sleeve.
It’s janky. It’s wild. It’s also very obviously very lewd… and the devs were kind enough to provide me with a key for it since it’s not available in Germany… and I got to play it with a bunch of friends, including an ace-friend to get the largest range of opinions and impressions… and I didn’t think we’d have as much fun as we had.
Note: This game is not available in Germany.
Another (perhaps more important) Note: The developers added a more SFW way to play the game… Wrestling with Friends! As such, you can now turn a setting on to keep clothes on and not do any penetration. Instead, you do cool and consensual wrestling manoeuvres on your friends like Backbreakers, Rear Chin Locks, Double Leg Scissor Holds, and more!

If the title makes you do a double-take, then congratulations: you’re the target audience. But beyond the clickbait-y name and QWOP-style chaos, there’s something oddly fascinating about this crude, lo-fi experiment in multiplayer hilarity. While it might not win awards for elegance or depth, and while it definitely will go under in the algorithms of Steam and the like, it certainly stakes a unique claim in the saturated field of party games.
Let’s get one thing clear from the outset: Sex With Friends is not a serious game, and it doesn’t pretend to be. Much like Mount Your Friends or Genital Jousting, this is a title steeped in parody and built around an intentionally clumsy control scheme. Players control human-like avatars in awkward, ragdoll physics-driven encounters that loosely resemble sexual interactions. The goal? Well, that’s as much a social experiment as a game mechanic. You’re either trying to successfully perform a vaguely sexual act on a friend or hilariously failing in the process.
I’m not even sure how to feel about it, but have you ever heard of “competitive sex”? Well, Sex With Friends has that. You form two teams on a wide variety of stages, and have to strip down and get down and dirty before the opposing team gets it done. The stage design adds to the weirdness with you performing sexual acts in a moving limousine, in a public bathroom, in space and even in the Garden of Eden under God’s watchful eye.
Most stages also feature secondary failure conditions. Huddled around a campfire, for instance, you’ll have to be careful not to catch fire. While on a raft, you gotta make sure you don’t drown. Similarly, at your workplace, you have to perform sexual acts while not letting productivity drop.
It’s absolutely hilarious to see God raze you off the face of the earth when he catches you committing pre-marital lewdness… but the stage design doesn’t just add some spice to the general weirdness, it also adds secondary win conditions.
Rather than actually kissing your partner, performing felatio or humping someone’s leg, you can also just win by drowning your opponents, making them fall off a stage or having them touch the very unsanitary ground in this very dirty bathroom. It’s times like these when chaos unfolds… Cockblocking others is a valid strategy in this game, and I love the game for it.
The design embraces minimalism. There’s no character customisation, no story, no unlockables, and no deep progression systems. What you see is what you get: a barebones, incredibly wacky party setup that thrives on real-world laughter and discomfort. You grab a controller or keyboard, enter a match (local or online), and watch as chaos unfolds. Characters flail, stumble, and spasm in ways that are half erotic, half slapstick comedy. Think less Fifty Shades of Grey and more Drunk Puppet Theater: After Dark.
What adds to this is that you cannot choose your character. You spawn in as a dude or a woman, in all sorts of shapes and sizes, races, et cetera. You’re just human, and I found it fun to see the game embracing a sense of inclusion not through a range of options to choose from but rather a very random selection of bodies that flop around. It certainly only adds to the experience, although I’d imagine that some crowds on the internet might have an issue or two with two fat black men getting it on in a hot tub.
The physics are the true centrepiece here, and they often create scenarios more absurd than anything a scripted game could manage. From falling over in an attempt to approach a friend, to accidentally launching yourself across the room due to a mistimed hip thrust, the humour is largely emergent and player-driven. What I did have a bit of a problem with was that the tutorial doesn’t really explain sexual acts, meaning you’ll sometimes be left clueless if you don’t exactly know the terminology the developers knew. Who knows? Maybe a glossary of sorts could be nice, akin to what Orgynizer has going for it.
Graphically, the game leans hard into simplicity. The avatars are reminiscent of 3D mannequins you’d find in a modelling program, with basic geometry and exaggerated movements. Environments are sparse and, a lot of the time, serve more as backdrops than integral parts of gameplay – with some stages also just introducing conditions and more wonkiness to the formula, I guess.
In terms of multiplayer functionality, the game offers both local and online options. Local play shines, especially in a group of close friends who are willing to laugh through the inherent awkwardness. Online functionality is more hit-or-miss. At the time of writing, the player base has waned since its April 2025 release peak, and you might struggle to find strangers to play with unless you coordinate sessions with friends. Thankfully, its budget pricing (at just $4.99) makes it an easy impulse buy, particularly for parties or streaming fodder.
What I found a bit disappointing was that when I played with my friends via online co-op, we ended up experiencing frequent disconnects, which put a damper on the mood, so to speak. Imagine getting invited to a little adult fun and suddenly popping out of existence. Definitely not a fun time. Beyond that, I also encountered a few times where my hand would glitch out of a wall, making it impossible for me to move around, leaving my asexual friend to do all the things she has no idea about. Huh.
While Sex With Friends doesn’t feature any full-frontal nudity or explicit sexual content in the traditional sense, it flirts aggressively with the line. It’s not a porn game, nor does it want to be. Instead, it seems more interested in exploring the intersection of physical comedy and adult themes. The result is a game that feels more like a middle schooler’s fever dream brought to life by savvy indie devs who understand meme culture.
There is, however, a larger conversation to be had about the game’s tone and intention. For all its crudeness, Sex With Friends avoids being malicious or exploitative. Its absurdity feels more innocent than predatory, likely due to the complete lack of customisation or fetishisation. Still, it’s a game that walks a fine line, and not everyone will appreciate its irreverent approach. The developers seem to be aware of this and don’t push it beyond the limits of crude party humour.
The developers also let me know that they playtested the game by setting up an arcade at local kink parties, and people really had a blast with it there. I doubt the game will catch on with the “mainstream”, evident by the current player count, but it definitely seems like a fun time for people who don’t mind the initial awkwardness that comes with getting invited to “Sex with Friends” on Steam.
Sex With Friends is an oddity, for sure. It's a party game that uses the language of adult content but frames it in a way that is ultimately silly, harmless, and weirdly wholesome in its own perverse way. It's refreshing to see a game that has no narrative or goal beyond laughing at how catastrophically bad you are at pretending to have sex using spaghetti-limbed avatars.
In a world of meticulously crafted indie darlings and polished AAA titles, sometimes it’s refreshing to stumble across a game that exists solely to make people laugh, even if it makes them cringe a little in the process. Sex With Friends might not be for everyone, but I had a lot of fun exploring it together with three close friends… and even the asexual and aromantic friend I invited had an absolute blast with it. It’s just plain fun, much in the way that Mount Your Friends or QWOP are fun. They’re janky. But I love the jank, which is why I’m recommending Sex with Friends to folks who like to embrace the jank. :)
