To play “Sex with Me is Like…” have the players line up on stage.

Origin
I first saw this game performed by the improv group for the University of Saint Andrews, Blind Mirth. They used it for the last game of their set, to close their show. They were performing at the Edinburgh Fringe festival. All of the young women in the group appeared to be uncomfortable during the game.
