What is this project all about?

Have you ever experienced moments during sex where you weren’t entirely sure what your partner wanted? You touch your partner and wonder if they truly enjoy it. Or perhaps you find yourself unable to articulate what you really desire. The touch may still feel nice, but does it make you say, “Hell, yes!”?

Get to Know Your Desires Through Play
Curious Touch invites you to step outside your usual routines and try something new. It guides you step-by-step and in a safe atmosphere through intimate, pleasurable moments—without expectations, but with ample room for authentic responses. Share your boundaries and desires in a way that creates deep mutual understanding. The best part? You’ll experience just how positive and liberating a “No” can be—because it can be the start of something new!
No complicated rules, no artificial scenarios—just the two of you, open and curious.
Through various tasks and reflections, the game creates deep intimacy. Feel more, think less. Rediscover each other and feel deeply connected. Curious Touch is perfect for couples looking to explore more in their sex life and enjoy doing so playfully.
Be inspired, try new things, and look forward to an erotic adventure—free from pressure and full of ease and pleasure.

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Sexuality affects us all. It’s an essential part of most relationships. But how often do you take the time to explore what you truly want in your daily life? Curious Touch gives you a framework to talk, kiss, and play with a sense of exploration and joy.
The game is designed for all relationship types, genders, and sexual orientations. It’s for people who share their sexuality and love discovering their unique styles of play.
Curious Touch has been thoroughly tested, including at the SexEck Sexual Counseling Center in Dresden:

"The lovingly designed and well-thought-out game is like a mini-workshop for home. It offers a framework to discuss topics that might not usually come up and to experience touches that may not have a place in everyday life. Even people who know a lot about each other can make new discoveries here."

Couples across Germany have enjoyed playing our game. Here are some more testimonials that we’ll share anonymously for privacy reasons:

"The game greatly helped us have open, non-judgmental discussions about our sexual boundaries after a long time in our relationship. The playful approach made this challenging topic more approachable and strengthened our communication."

"Curious Touch offers incredible discovery and joy for partners. We got to know and communicate our boundaries, desires, and fears through play. In the days that followed, we could remind each other of the game during tricky everyday situations and draw on our newfound closeness. Overall, Curious Touch has helped us know each other even better after years of being together and brought fresh excitement into our love life."

"An inspiring game that helped us clearly express our physical needs and desires in our relationship. Although we already talk a lot about our sexual needs, the game revealed new sides of each other. Highly recommended!"

Why would you support this project?

Curious Touch provides an opportunity to explore the sensitive topic of sexuality in a light yet meaningful way. We developed it with great expertise and care over the course of a year. We are passionate about this game because it promotes sexual communication and genuine consent—where you do something because you want to, 100%. And all of this comes with fun, rather than challenging discussions.
Feeling inspired to try Curious Touch? Pre-ordering through Startnext supports us and our vision of improving sexuality through play—not with “hot tips,” but through a deep exploration of what we truly want. As a supporter, you can be one of the first to hold Curious Touch in your hands and receive beautiful extras featuring the delightful illustrations from the game.

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

If our campaign is successfully funded, we’ll be able to produce the first edition of Curious Touch in high quality in Germany. A significant portion of the funds will go towards printing costs and the thoughtful design of the game cards, which were specifically created for this project. Additionally, we aim to spread the game further and ensure that even more couples benefit from this valuable tool.
Stretch Goals Include:
• € 6,000: We’ll illustrate and print a cool sticker sheet for you to receive for free with the game.
• € 8,900: We’ll develop an English version of Curious Touch.

Who are the people behind the project?

Hi, we’re Madita and Florian.
Madita is a sexologist and psychologist who wanted to bring the amazing, specialized knowledge about sex out of the academic ivory tower and into the real world. The idea of using games for this purpose first sparked in 2019 as a unique Christmas gift idea. While still completing her PhD, the desire to create more persisted. In 2023, she could finally commit to making this dream a reality.

Florian is a game enthusiast and creative developer. He brought his expertise in game mechanics and playful engagement to the project, ensuring that Curious Touch became both deeply meaningful and fun to play. Florian’s dedication to detail and user experience has been crucial in making the game an enjoyable journey for couples.

What are the sustainable development goals of this project?

Primary sustainable development goal

Health

Why does this project contribute to this goal?

We promote sexual health and contribute to the sustainability goal of health and well-being with our games. A satisfying and mindful love life is closely connected to quality of life and general health. We believe that sexual performance pressure and outdated role models can harm sexual well-being – but they are deeply ingrained in society. That’s why we use playful methods to counteract these patterns, so that everyone can explore their own sexy.

This project also pays toward those goals
