lmind's Picture Reel Game

Post by lmind »

This is a simple and quick game I like to play with any sexy slideshow or picture reel online, such as a tumblr page. I figured I'd share it, and hopefully you find it fun. It's super simple and can be totally benign or a torturous tease, depending on your taste.

The Object:
To pick the "sexiest" picture in a slideshow or picture reel of sexy pics (like a tumblr page). What you find "sexiest" is entirely personal to you -- just be honest with yourself.

The Catch:
1) You must view the pictures one-at-a-time. No peeking ahead.
2) You must make your choice on-the-spot, when you think you've reached the sexiest picture in the set.
3) You may only pick the current picture. In other words, once you move past a picture, you may not go back and pick it.
4) After making your choice, view the remaining pictures in the set and see if you were right.

You "Win" If:
You were right. You've seen all the pics, and your choice was the sexiest picture.

You "Lose" If:
You were wrong. There is at least one other pic in the set that you find sexier than the one you chose.
This might happen when you choose an early pic that you find super sexy, only to discover a later pic that's even sexier. Or when you skip an early sexy pic, hoping for something better later, and nothing sexier comes along.

That's it! I said it was simple!

But what do you get if you win? What's the consequence of losing? Well, the game is as benign or torturous as you want it to be. The prize and consequences are up to you.

Benign Version:
Spoiler: show
95% of the time, I play the totally benign version of the game. No real prize or consequences -- it's just a simple way to spice up a set of sexy pictures I was going to look at anyway. You feel good if you win. You feel playful chagrin if you lose. Nothing more, but still fun.
Tease Version:
Spoiler: show
The sky's the limit. But here's an example:
Stroke for a certain amount of time to each picture (e.g., 1 minute). Imagine each girl/boy teasing you.
Edge on the picture of your choice.
After cooling down, stroke to the remaining pictures in the set (e.g., 1 minute each) without edging.
If you won (your choice was the sexiest), then return to the picture you chose and stroke to orgasm. Imagine her/him cheering you on / teasing you / humiliating you / whatever.
If you lost, return to each picture that was sexier than your choice and edge to it. Imagine them taunting you. Then edge to your choice again. Then turn to the true sexiest picture in the set, edge, and ruin. Better luck next time!
Example of Play:
Spoiler: show
If I'm bored, I sometimes check thechive.com for any new sexy picture sets. The sets are all PG-13 and amateur, which is good for a quick boredom fix. The women are beautiful and sexy, and I play the totally benign version of the game.
So, the other day I checked a set titled "'Cute' is just a word. These girls are so much more (68 Photos)" at http://thechive.com/2015/05/06/cute-is- ... 68-photos/
Open it up and follow along, and this will make more sense.
So I start with pic #1 and start scrolling down, one pic at a time.
Pic #4 was already super tempting (just my own personal taste!), but I decide not to "settle" early, and I keep going.
But Pic #7 is just too beautiful, and I call it right there.
Image
My personal ritual, to commit myself psychologically to my choice, is to say, out loud, "I choose you." (Yes, just like Pokemon...) So I say it, out loud.
Now I keep going. I scroll slowly through the rest of the pics, one-by-one.
The girls are cute and beautiful, each a respectable choice in her own way, but for my tastes, I'm feeling pretty good about my choice. #10 was a really strong contender, though.
Then I get to #55. I LOSE!
Image
I finish the set.

For my personal tastes, #55 is the sexiest woman in the set. But I picked #7 early, so I lost the game. Your tastes may vary, and that's fine. Since I was just playing the benign version of the game, I smiled at my enjoyable defeat, chastised myself for my haste, admired both girls one last time, and moved on. Nothing more, but still fun.
I find that this simple game adds a fun psychological tension to sexy slideshows and picture sets, similar to the tension of a tease. You don't want to "settle" early, because you're afraid something better might come later. But toward the end, if you haven't made a choice yet, you start to feel desperate to pick something. It's simple, but tense and fun.

I hope you try it and enjoy it. Try it with any slideshow or picture set (that you've never seen before). thechive.com is great for this, but there's also tumblr, or even each complete page of Della's Multimedia Game, here on Milovana. Invent whatever rules you like. Share your ideas and adventures here, in this thread. Find a picture reel online, play through it, share the link in this thread, invite others to play it too, and put your personal results behind spoiler tags -- so everyone can compare results, for fun.

If you have any questions, let me know. It's simple, but I hope you find it at least a little fun.

Heh. I do something similar with my photo collections, too. They're broken into a few folders that my slideviewer can use at one time....bdsm, gagged, cute, etc.

There are 4-5 what I call 'cue' photos that can serve as bookmarks or places to mix things up a bit.

So, for example, a typical session might be: 5 second random photo change where you are slowly stroking but ONLY when a certain type of pic is displayed (eg, a gagged girl.) After the second 'cue' photo, you can stroke quickly -- again, only on the stroking photo -- but you can NOT release until ... a stroking pic following a cue photo. Or, some other 'release' photo that's preselected -- say, a pic contaiining 2 girls/women, or 2 gagged girls/women, a brunette, etc.
You can mix it up and have fast or slow strokes based on the picture type, too.

Sometimes it's a fairly quick tease, but sometimes it's excruciatingly frustrating. To wit: after a nice, slow, enjoyable session, you finally make it to the edge and are teetering there but get a series of no-stroke photos, then 5 seconds of quck stroking, followed by some more no-stroke photos, etc. That can keep you in agony for a looooong while.

There's a fair amount of psychological manipulation here, too. You end up either wanting (or being thankful for) more stroke photos or dreading the possible appearance of one or more a slow-stroke or no-stroke one(s). Not knowing what photo comes next only makes it more frustrating, too. It gets worse the closer to (or longer you're on) the edge, I might add .. you want to cum but with only 5 seconds you don't want to ruin it, either if the next slide isn't a stroke-slide. :)

You can make it more interesting by incorporating a vibe under your balls, too. Something constant, or something variable.....makes it more difficult at times, for sure.

I can see how something like this could make for interesting T&D with couples. The top could send an archive of photos to her boy for a session. Boy will not look @ the pictures ahead of time, but begin the session. You could make it so that if the boy hasn't cum in a certain timeframe (say 30 minutes) the session ends until the next day. Or, you could be more devious and every now and then NOT include any (or reduce the # of) stroking, cue, or release photos in a particular session, so the boy is teasing himself for no reason since he doesn't know that he won't release that day.

Evil is as evil does. :)

If you're looking for a strategy for this game, it's basically a variant of the Secretary Problem:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem

Take the number of pictures in the set and divide them by e (roughly 2.71828). After looking at that many pictures, choose the first picture in the set better than any picture you've seen before. You have a ~37% chance of winning (1/e), which will be better than any other strategy (assuming a completely random distribution).

That's awesome! I should've known this puzzle was already a "thing."

Thanks guys.

This set looks promising: "Bras were made to be burned (33 Photos)" http://thechive.com/2015/05/14/bras-wer ... gcxpl:S4jp

I will play it "live" and post my thoughts here as I go. Wish me luck!
Spoiler: show
Okay, so #1 is extremely strong. That's always scary. But I pass.
Now I'm all the way to #20 and still haven't seen a pic as good as #1, which I passed. It's getting tense...
I choose #32, knowing already that I lost, but trying to minimize my loss. I should've picked #1!

Game Over.
I chose #32, which is super sexy. But #1 was sexier, imho. #9 was, too. I lose!
Feel free to share, if you also played this set.

I'm playing through this set right now; it looks very promising!
Feeling Good About My Bad Ideas For The Weekend (66 HQ Photos)
http://thebrigade.com/2015/05/21/feelin ... hq-photos/

Feel free to try it, too!

Wish me luck...
Spoiler: show
Pic #1 is insane. I hate when this happens! How can I possibly pick #1, when the other 65 might be just as great?? Sigh... I choose to press my luck, and hope I don't regret it.
Image

The legs on #21 literally can't fit on my screen. Hot... (but I pass)
Image

I have a thing for tight pants (who doesn't?) and small butts. #27 is the first real contender vs #1. Do I pick her? Ummm... Yes. "#27, I choose you."
Image

On any other day, against any other competition, #36 could easily have won.
Image

Surprise twist! For those who boldly skipped #1 and have come to regret it, #66 comes along! It's basically the same pic, but shifted slightly to the right, thereby depriving you of her great legs. And thereby not as sexy. But still hot!

...And that's it! Did I win? This was a close one! #27 vs #1 at the finish line. Very close! But... YES!
#27 wins by a hair! (in my book) Yay!
This was a fantastic set. I highly recommend it!
