A prototype, currently called "Lapis," is being designed which will teach children (unknowingly at first), the secrets of great sex. The game's main designer Heather Kelly describes her newest design in depth on her official site. Please note that this is in design and prototype phase only, and that it doesn't reflect a specific publisher. These are her own ideas posted independently as part of the "Montreal Game Summit 2005 Design Challenge."
If you can be bother to installed the unusual browser plugin, you can play a demo here. It basically involves stroking, scratching or tickling the tail or nose of a rabbit - the longer you do it, the more it rises into the air. You can even blow onto it with the DS's built-in microphone.
As it rises, you are treated to images based on what women commonly imagine whilst masturbating, based on the responses of thousands of surveyed volunteers. Collect enough "magical energy", and it starts flying.
Very peculiar.

Because this game is geared towards kids, and not teenagers.
But you wont be teaching kids to have great sex, because they wont understand that side of it.
Its like when sexual innuendos make it in to kids movies, they are deemed as acceptable because they make the movie fun for the parents, but they will be totally lost on the kids.

It's quite a reach thinking kids are automatically going to associate stroking virtual rabbits with clitoral / vaginal stimulation.
Hell, I'm an adult, and if the designer hadn't explicitly stated that that was it's subtext my first thought would have just been 'oh, another tamagotchi game' not 'aha, so the rabbits are a sexual metaphor'
Perhaps, but the whole idea that someday they might relate them disturbs me to no end. I mean, dear god, what if they get a pet rabbit?
LOL, it is a bit weird that this game is geared twoards kids, however, i really don't think that they will make the connection between rubbing a blue bunny with a plastic stick on the DS with the sexual stimulation of the clitorus, but there is still one question in my head...why?, this is sure to spark all kinds of arguments from overly-concerned parents...
