Truth-or-dare a harmless childhood game, right? Well as it turns out, sometimes this seemingly innocent game can get way, way, WAY too out of hand. These people reveal their craziest "truth-or-dare" moments.
1/30. I think my most exciting game of truth or dare was cut down in its prime when a guy dared his girlfriend to flash everyone and then broke down crying because now everyone had seen her bikini zone and he no longer felt special.
2/30. At my first job, back when I was a teenager, about 6 of us were playing this mid-shift. 3 girls, 3 guys. It was barely starting to get risqu and one of the guys is asked "have you ever masturbated to thoughts of a coworker?" And he says yes.
This is as juicy as it's gotten, so we latch onto it. The next time around, he's asked if he's masturbated to anyone else playing. He says yes. Next round, he's asked to name which of us he's jerked it to. He looks at us one by one, then says "all of you." The guys all got flustered as hell, they'd never even realized they were on the roster.
3/30. Conservative Christian school. Truth or Dare App.
Task: Dry hump the person to your right for 30 seconds. Teacher was there. Needless to say the game ended quickly.
4/30. When three of my friends, all straight males, wound up laying on the floor trying to see who could get a full raging boner first.
One of their girlfriends walked in on the competition.
We don't play Truth Or Dare anymore.
5/30. Probably the most extreme was at a weekend cabin party I was at. We were in a hot tub, there was 7 of us, most of the women were topless and some of us guys were bottomless (this had been going on for like a couple hours at this point, and we were supremely drunk). The dares got a little sexual, but that's not the extreme part of this. It's early May, but as the night goes on it gets very cold, then it starts to rain.
Then the wind picks up.

We're all too exposed and afraid of the cold to want to leave the safety of the hot tub. I also think we were too drunk to notice the conditions around us getting worse. But eventually we started sobering up and the heat of the water started dissipating. Still, the game continued, we were all shivering but no one wanted to be the first to wimp out. Until our sober sibling for the night comes out and yells at us to come in. The hot tub was sort of in the corner of this cabin, so she was surprised at what she saw to say the least.
Not 5 minutes after we gather our clothes and get inside, a gust of wind comes through and starts blowing around the furniture outside and also knocks out power. Later we found out that the wind we had continued to play truth or dare in had gotten up to 70 mph, there was some serious damage back in town, some of the town didn't have power for a week (which makes it surprising that we still had it at our dinky cabin on the side of a mountain). When we left 2 days later there were branches blocking the road down from the cabin we had to clear.
We all came very close to dying of hypothermia and/or having our head split open by flying furniture.
6/30. The game was escalating too fast anyway. This wasn't even the worst thing that happened that night but: gay friend accepted a dare to put his erect penis in a female friend. Boyfriend got him hard and while everyone (including the "victims") laughed, he mounted friend, and started pumping away. "OMG this actually feels great!" he managed to get out before looking REALLY ecstatic. She was enjoying herself as well.
It got awkwardly sex-y, they were just plain f*cking. It didn't last long. He came. "OMG I JUST CAME! hahaha!". "OMG IF I GET PREGNANT I'M GONNA KILL YOU HAHAHAHA!" The game went on. More awkwardness was had. Nothing topped the awkwardness of her calling him a week later, in tears, because she was indeed pregnant. She did not murder him in the end.
The kid just turned 18, FYI.
7/30. Got dared by my best friend to give my boyfriend a blowjob in front of the group. I was too nervous to actually get him off, and another friend dared my best friend (who is gay) to finish the job for me. He was able to get boyfriend off in about ten seconds.
Things were awkward for a long time after that.
8/30. Me: Truth My sister: Mom and Dad never loved you. Me: I don't think that's how the game works.
9/30. At a sleepover in junior high we dared our friend to strip down to his underwear...you know, homoerotic pubescent stuff. He comes out from the other room completely naked and gyrating, saying "You got more than you bargained for!"
10/30. In my first or second year of UNI my group of friends and I were having a get together after finals ended. Considering finals had just ended and it was only about 7 of us, consuming alcohol seemed like the go to activity.
So once the buzz started to hit us one of my friends tried to start a game of spin the bottle, but being a group of three couples and one single guy we decided to play truth or dare instead.
Like all truth or dare games it started out pretty innocently (Take more shots, who's your celebrity crush, etc.), but eventually things turned a bit weird.
(story continued on the next page...)
More crazy stories on the next page!
Our one single guy decided to dare one of the girls to lick whipped cream off of his shlong, and with a reluctant nod from her boyfriend she got to action. Or... At least tried to.
Once she took off the dude's pants and saw his (well) hung appendage she yells "Damn I've never seen one this big!" And before she could even uncap the whipped cream her boyfriend was swinging full force at the guy.
Me and my other friend had to get in between a half naked guy and a drunk ape, and by the time we split them up everyone was uncomfortable as hell.
After we resolved it, as my girlfriend and I started leaving, I just remember her leaning up to my ear and telling me "She knew her boyfriend was self conscious about his junk."
11/30. Turned into a threesome with at the time gf and her friend.
12/30. I (24f) was playing truth or dare with my roommates (24m, 25m). Roommate number one dares roommate number two to pee on me. Neither of us put up a fight.. roomie number one made us feel weird for being down for the dare.
13/30. Dead of winter and somebody dared one of my classmates to stick his tongue to a flagpole. Didn't even use proper dare etiquette.
14/30. When I was around around 10 I played Truth or Dare with some girls a few years older than me. I got dared to TP the principals house (of their school). It was a pretty big house maybe 3500 sq ft. They all ended up coming with me, but my dad catches us sneaking out and asks us where we're going. All of the girls start stammering and trying to tell a lie, and I look at my dad and say "We're gonna go TP a house." My dad starts laughing and responds with "Well sounds like you need adult supervision for that lets go." We ended up bringing a 10 pack of toilet paper and using the entire thing.
'Twas a fun a night.
15/30. Playing with some friends a long time ago. It was a card-based game (like Cards Against Humanity) where everyone had a pile of "Truth" cards and "Dare" cards.
For each turn the victim would opt for a Truth or a Dare. The questioner would then pull the top card from the appropriate stack, either a card with a question on it (usually off-color or loaded with sexual innuendo) or a card with a dare on it (also semi-sexual, but suitable for adult parties).
We were two couples, and so we took turns as couples, i.e. each partner would take turns with the other partner of the couple.
The other couple was a pair of young newlyweds.
(story continued on the next page...)
More ridiculous "truth-or-dare" stories on the next page!
The woman asked her husband if he wanted a truth or a dare, he replied truth. She pulled the top card: "Have you ever paid for sex?"
His answer: "Yes"
Things got very chilly the rest of the night.
16/30. When a guy I didn't know was dared to jack off under a blanket and finish while everyone watched. Everyone watched...
17/30. Friend got dared by his girlfriend to have sex with her in the other room and finish inside her (no birth control). He refused, they broke up, we found out it was a setup she had planned to get herself preggies and force him to marry her.
Strange night.
18/30. Not truth or dare but during a game of Neve Have I Ever my friend said "never have I ever blown a guy" all the girls put down fingers. Said friend looked at my boyfriend and said "uh you have to put a finger down". Turned out my boyfriend cheated on me with a guy. Kicker every single person in the room playing the game knew about it but me.
Awkward silence ensued.
19/30. "Bet you can't jump that ditch". 4 hours later, doctor tells us the guy had dislocated one of shoulders.
20/30. Me, a cousin, and a couple of buddies were at a youth conference in another town. After the conference was over, we got to chatting with a group of girls from the town. We decided to hang out back at our hotel room. We were all just chatting and listening to tunes when all of the sudden, all four girls went to the bathroom together, leaving us sitting there like chumps.
When they came out, they were all grinning. But we thought nothing of it. A few minutes later, one of them proposed a game of truth or dare. But, they insisted, the girls would be the ones to make all the dares. We agreed, hoping for at least some scraps of action.
(story continued on the next page...)
More hilarious and shocking "truth-or-dare" stories on the next page!
Long story short, every single one of us wound up getting laid. One of the guys even did it on the floor, and the other couple fucked in the bathroom. Turns out, the girls had planned it all along. They decided in advance which of them wanted each of us, got their story straight, and then proposed the game. They'd even brought their own condoms.
The only draw back was, God, did it stink in that room when my uncle came strolling in to wake us up the next morning.
21/30. This girl asked her friend to dare someone to have unprotected sex with her. When he received the dare he literally just got up and walked out the house. Then the girl gets drunk, tries it on with a few guys there (to which they all rejected), confessed her love to another guy there, threatened to kill herself, then fell asleep.
This was a few years ago. I saw her a few months back and she looked pretty normal to me. That is pretty and normal, but I will never forget that day.
22/30. I was dared to touch a cow pie (poop pile). Put a finger on it and the person who dared me shoved my entire hand in. Grabbed a handful and flung it at her.
23/30. The moment it turned into a drunk all out orgy.
24/30. A guy stood right at the edge and shat into the swimming pool at the motel we were staying at.
25/30. Probably 20 years old at the time. Girlfriend, her sister and cousin from Germany were in the car. Cousin says let's play and so we all said OK.
All fun and games till we pull over into a McDonald's parking lot and I get dared to walk in and order fries in my underwear. They drove off and I had to borrow the phone to call my gf to make them come back for me. Saw all the tits though, so it was worth it.

26/30. There was a time we were playing truth or dare in a hot tub. A girl friend of ours had dared me to get hard in front of everyone. So I get up out of the tub and start playing with myself. Then from around the corner of the house I get a flashlight in my face.
That was the time I masterbated in front of a police officer.
27/30. Played it with some friends at one of their apartments, before the game we wrote down dares on slips of paper, and on one of the slips I wrote down that you had to strip down to your underwear with your pants around your ankles, wear a blue shirt as a cape, exit the apartment and slowly waddle to the end of the long hallway and back, all while repeatedly saying "gotta go fast." I thought it was bizarre and great
I picked my own dare.
28/30. My friends little brother (9 or 10 years old) came in and dared one of the girls to slit her finger open, put a paperclip into her finger then stick that paperclip into an electrical outlet while it was still in her finger. After we told him no he offered a replacement dare, which was to go down the street and burn down the church.
29/30. Someone had to spin around 50 times, take 10 consecutive shots of tequila, and run into a road.
They actually came out ok.
30/30. They dared me to leave :(
We may not like it, but getting older is pretty inevitable.
With age may come wisdom, but it also comes with lots of responsibilities.
And some days, we're just over it.

I would love to know how people don't fear death.
I mean, it's the end. Life will be over. That kind of sucks.
Yet there are people who find tranquility in it.
Can you teach the rest of us?
Redditor deensuk wanted to hear from everyone who has a calmness about the heading to the afterlife. They asked:
"People who are not scared of death, why?"
I have a constant fear of death. I wanna perfect the ending of "Death Becomes Her" so I can live forever.
Before
"I'm not scared of death because of working in health care I was around it so much. I AM scared of what leads to death, however."
Full-Mulberry5020
Why now?
"Why should I be scared now of something that's only going to happen at the end of my life?"
User Deleted
"I did this cult thing called the landmark forum and I actually did like their “meaning of life”: the meaning of life is that there is no meaning. Life is empty and meaningless. There is no answer."
"Life is what you make of it and every persons answer is equally valid because there is no meaning to life. Life exists as, basically, an accident, we are all here by complete accident, there’s no great mystery, it’s all biology and you are 100% free to make life about whatever it is you want."
Conservative_HalfWit
Death and I are good friends...
"I was very sick as a child. Spent ages 7-20 in and out of hospital due to kidney issues. Lost a kidney at 28. Almost died during the surgery to removed the dead kidney due to blood loss. Had 5 surgeries back to back during the next 2 years. Twice they had difficulties bringing me out of anesthesia."
"Found my favorite aunt dead in her bed when I was 22. Watched my best friend die from a brain tumor at 30. Death has been a constant force in my life. Sometimes just on the edges waiting, sometimes unexpected staring me in the face. I'm not afraid because it's always been there. I now work in healthcare. Death and I are good friends."
Tiny_Teach_5466
No Worries
"Because it's coming for us all, sooner or later. So there's no point in worrying about it. I am much more concerned about day to day minutiae. The Lars von Trier film Melancholia starring Kirstin Dunst portrayed this perfectly. If there was an asteroid hurtling towards the earth, I'd probably be more preoccupied with worrying about whether I left the back light on or not."
Giallo_submarine
It's Over
"Because no one has ever made it out alive, and I was dead for an eternity before I was alive, and didn't suffer the slightest inconvenience because of it."
MarshallApplewhiteDo
I never thought about the before much. I hope the before is quick.
The Effects
"I hope that when my times comes it will be merciful. My uncle had a stroke, he is paralyzed. My grandmother is 91, but is losing all her memories of her life. Death does not scare me, what could be left of me before I die is what terrifies me."
M1ssy_M3
No Terror
"It’s like when the writer Nabokov said that he saw a picture one time, a picture of before he was born. It was a picture of his mother, his brother and sister that were older than him, but he had not been born yet. He said that when he saw that picture there was no terror in him, even though he was looking at a picture where he didn’t exist."
im_on-the_can
state of nonexistence...
"I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of dying. Death is just the state of nonexistence I experienced before I was born. I don't remember it because I didn't exist yet. Death will be the same way. I just don't want the transition to be marked by pain and sorrow at things left unfinished. I want it to be quick, painless, and with me surrounded by love."
Wazula42
I'm Gone...
"Because once I die, I won't know it. I won't miss people or regret things or feel pain or sadness about anything. I might fear being sick and slowly dying, just having to live with the knowledge that it's all going to end and this is the last time I'll ever see the people I love or taste good food or hear good music. That sounds almost unbearable. But death isn't even a thing, it's just having done something (died)."
"It's like virginity, it's a made-up state of being that just says whether or not you've experienced a specific occurrence. Once I die, I'm gone. My corpse will be the empty wrapper I used to be in, just garbage to be disposed of in whatever way makes my survivors feel better. I'll be switched off. If I don't worry about what the light feels after the bulb burns out, why would I be afraid of being dead?"
SallyHeap
At Peace
"I’m scared now because I have young kids. Once my kids are old enough to be on their own I imagine the fear will subside and I’ll have a more relaxed approach."

Some very interesting perspectives. May it all calm peacefully and with great mercy for us all.

Dating and the search for love and companionship... What a nightmare.
This journey plays out nothing like in the movies.
Every Prince or Princess (or everything in BTW) seems to have a touch of the psycho.
The things people say during what should be simple dinner conversation can leave a dining partner aghast.
Like... do you hear you?
Redditor detroit_michigldan wanted to discuss all the best ways to crash and burn when trying to make a romantic connection. They asked:
"You're on a date and it's going really great. What can another person say to ruin it completely?"
I once had a guy ask me if I was willing to follow him into the woods, depending on the price of the meal.
Yeah. No steak is worth that.
Plans After...
"Thanks for the ride but I have a date with someone else, I figured you wouldn't drive me if you knew I was going on a date with someone else and I really needed a ride."
"Online dating, talked to her for a while, finally got the courage to ask her out and then she said that as we got there."

Despite the advancement of technology rendering people left to their own devices–literally–to entertain them, there are some leisurely activities that will never go out of style.
Or so you would think.
Do people still knit to pass the time? Are people actively collecting stamps?
It depends on who's asking.
Curious to hear about hobby trends, Redditor gizehgizeh asked:
"What are once popular hobbies that are slowly dying these days?"

Before we've become conditioned to living on our phones, these activities used to keep people occupied.
Before Texting, There Was This
"Letter writing."
– littlekingMT
Literal And Tangible Joy
"Well the internet killed pen pals for sure. I do remember I had a Japanese girl for a penpal maybe back in 2007 or so. I honestly don't remember how it started, pretty sure some website, but that was a fun experience. But now I can just straight up talk to foreign people real time, lol. But yea getting a physical letter that someone took the time to write and mail still is hard to beat feelings wise."
– skyburnsred
Model Trains
"When I was growing up, every town had a model train store in it. Now I have one in region and everything else has to be bought online."
– Hairy_Effective1172
Pretty Rocks
"Don’t see anyone playing marbles anymore, I had an awesome collection in school."
– sheeple85
"I had some marbles as a kid in the 90s. My grandma got them for me and I had no idea what I was supposed to do with them. I always imagined them as a thing kids in the 40s played with."
– Ryoukugan
People Were Moving Canvases
"Paintball has been dying a slow death since 2006. Sad, really."
– hobo_recycler
Before the general population began hating clutter, collecting was once a "thing."
Precious Coins
"Coin collecting... I'm a silver/gold nut and I'm always hunting for precious metal coins. whenever I go into a shop they get all excited because 'no one under 70 collects coins anymore.'"
– ThatFishySmell99
Post It
"Stamp collecting."
– spooky_scully_mulder
"Collecting in general, really. Of course there are still prominent collectors but it's slipped more into enthusiast and niche territory than being a popular hobby that you might expect anyone to have."
– iuytrefdgh436yujhe2
What A Gem
"Rockhounding was immensely popular back in the 1950's and 1960's. Personally, I think it's a fascinating and fulfilling hobby, but when I go to a meeting at a rock and gem club, I'm usually the youngest one in the room by several decades."
– filthy_lucre
People once enjoyed making things.
Admiring The View
"Stained glass. I learned how to make it from my old man, and my junior high art class teacher also taught it. Very few artisans are still around."
– brobeanzhitler
Metal Vocation
"Black smithing."
– kenworth117
"I bought a forge to try. It’s insanely hard work, and crazy expensive. I still haven’t finished a piece."
– DSentvalue
Scrapbooking
"Yeah. I'm watching the arts and crafts stores around me completely uninstalling their racks for specialty paper. Now the only thing they have is mega packs of repeating colors/images. To boot all the inclusions like papercraft/die-cut things, washi tape, scissors, stickers, etc have gotten so expensive I would rather go buy $5 bags at value village to get an assortment of things versus buying anything new. I really, really miss yard sales for the same reasons."
– Phantasmai
I envy people who have jobs that are basically their hobbies.
Not everyone gets paid doing what they actually enjoy and have a profound level of passion for.
If they do, kudos to them.
