Lion of the Bayside

Lion Tamer

Lion Tamer is a game played by two people more often by heterosexual couples but not exclusively. It does not require a chair or a whip or a lion for that matter.
The correct way to engage the game is to ask your partner if they would like to play Lion Tamer.
If they agree simply start the game.

If they don't know how to play or question the name of the game ("Lion Tamer?" "What's that?")

You simply say "You get on your hands and knees and I put my head in your mouth"

The wholesome version of this game is nigh impossible but the dirty version is simple and can lead to hours of fun.
