That would depend upon your goal.

The game spoken of does some times - surprisingly - give people what they feel to be a free pass to say embarassing things about themselves.

However, it never fails to amaze me how groups playing this game seem to think that the individual answering must somehow really tell the truth - as opposed to the far more likely scenario of the speaker inventing a self-serving half-truth or lie.

Even the supposedly embarassing "facts" admitted to are most often quite calculated to inspire a perception amongst the peer group of what the speaker wishes them to feel. Thus even - or especially - a prim and proper teen girl who's never done more than kiss will confess to as much more as she feels the others will believe.

This same behavioral pattern carries on in all adults, and can be seen in the religious encounter groups where all manner of sins are "confessed" to that out of politeness the co-religionists accept at face value. Alcoholic's Anonymous is also a great place to witness the phenomena of false admissions that tend to create an aura of "wildness".

As to teen males, their propensity for lying in such games hardly needs to be elaborated on, and no pronouncement from them as to their romantic adventures is likely to bear any resemblence to reality. This lessens - somewhat - as they age and actually get a variety of experiences, but never fully leaves.

I've yet to meet any suburbanite mid-level executive who isn't happy for a chance to admit to a depraved and debauched youth that he can speak of only for having watched movies about it.

You may thus take as a sociological law that the less naughty things are actually done, the more is "confessed" to. And the more actual bad things really took place, the less you're likely to see that person playing at all, let alone confessing to what he/she truly has need to feel shame over.
