M: I'm trying to either engage or annoy a friend of mine With random choices on innocuous and occasionally risqué topics. We've known each other for 20 years, have come very close to sexual involvement a few times, and I think we would be great in terms of occasionally sleeping together, but we are in living conditions where even testing that out is no longer feasible. She is... taciturn, I think is a fair word. Honestly, I have difficulty reading her. I have suggested the most... I don't want to say disgusting, but... involved sexual acts to her, and had her just send back a smiley. Of course, I always kept it tongue-in-cheek because this is more of an idea that the relationship could stand a little bit of sexual activity for both of our sakes, not as a romantic thing, but just... for the intimacy, if that makes sense. Particularly since we both are dealing with our respective parents and taking care of them in a situation where we are 90 minutes away. Like, I would... I would greet the knowledge that she was starting a relationship with someone with happiness tinged with a little bit of sadness that we missed the opportunity of seeing how well we would work together in bed. If that gives you a little bit of perspective as to how I at least see things. Combined with the fact that I always have this little bit of me that isn't sure exactly how she's reacting, because she could just be humoring me. Anyway, I was giving you that context to give you a little bit of guidance to help me suggest some random choices I could throw at her.

G: Got it.
TL;DR: you want offhand, random-seeming “choice” prompts that keep a playful or slightly teasing energy, not overt propositions — something that keeps her engaged, sometimes bemused, sometimes mildly flustered, without crossing into actual sexual propositioning.

Here are categories and examples you can draw from or mix as you go:


🌀 Everyday Absurdities


🍷 Flirt-Adjacent / Risqué-but-Plausibly-Joking


🪞Mild Psychological Mischief


☕ Mundane Philosophy


⚖️ Controlled Escalation (for testing tone)

If she engages, you can lightly increase the charge without making it explicit:


Would you like me to tailor a rotating set of these—say, a daily or weekly “choice drop” that shifts between the playful, psychological, and risqué? I could build a small randomized list to pull from each time you want to send her one.

M: Correction for the future. Straight up lurid options are on the table for this - just not as the only option. It's one reason I need your help with this. We aren't often even in the same schedule space, so the opportunity to actually throw more than one or two options at her at a time doesn't come along often. And when I do, either my hormones are in a... are having a twist, and I can't think of anything but sexual options, or I'm concentrating so much on making it non-sexual that I'm stumped simply from the effort of making sure that I don't wander into the area I'm trying to avoid.

G: Understood. You want range — a list that can swing from wholesome to explicit without pattern-locking, so you can pick a few that fit your mood without losing balance. You also don’t want the sexual ones to feel like propositions; they should read like creative dares, thought experiments, or personality reveals.

Here’s a structured spread you can dip into. Each group escalates by tone rather than by explicitness, so you can mix them freely.


1️⃣ Light / Playfully Innocent


2️⃣ Wry / Dryly Suggestive


3️⃣ Ambiguous Heat (can play either direction)


4️⃣ Explicit but Stylized (for when you want the spike)


5️⃣ Wildcards / Tonal Disruptors

Throw these in occasionally to break rhythm and keep the exchanges unpredictable.


If you want, I can generate a bank of 30 mixed prompts—balanced across those tones—so you always have a stash ready to pick from.
Would you like me to make that next?

M: I got a couple things out of there, but I'm going more for simple choices. The things I've thrown at her were boxers or briefs, skiing or surfing, deep dish or thin crust, that kind of thing. It doesn't have to be clear, but it has to be definite if that makes sense. In fact, the brevity can be kind of useful to try and get her to at least give a little bit of answer, besides just a direct one. Like I took one of your last suggestions and threw it at her, but changed to just be too much chaos or too much restraint.

G: Perfect — you’re using binary contrasts as conversational flares. You don’t want “questions,” you want forks that force a reaction: short, definite, maybe ambiguous in implication.

Here’s a set grouped by tone so you can mix them naturally depending on mood.


🪶 Everyday Neutrals


⚙️ Personality Tells


🔥 Charged-but-Plausible


🎭 Ambiguous Play


🍷 Mood Breakers


Would you like me to generate, say, a bank of 100 of these (evenly split across categories), so you can grab a handful at random when you’re in the mood to toss a few at her?

M: The ambiguous stuff was a little bit too open-ended. The choices need to be definite, or at least definite enough that I can expand on them. Like with the boxers or briefs one, she asked, For me or for you? And my response was just, in general, it doesn't matter for who. The point is that it needs to be something where preference is subjective, but the position is a little bit closer to certainty, or if the answer isn't certain, that you'd have to justify any uncertainty. Like my answer for boxers or briefs was, Boxers because my usual choice is boxer briefs for the support, but I'd rather lose the support than have my circulation cut off at the hips. And I'd like the choices to be a little bit more non-categorical. Like a couple of the suggestions you gave were okay, but this should be kind of a shotgun approach, and something that I can build off of, rather than an attempt to get her to do anything except for respond. You can go online if you need to, to try and find some examples.

G: Good call — simpler and more decisive makes sense. Here are 40 definite “this or that” prompts, grouped so you can pick depending on how bold you’re feeling. They all present a clear choice (no middle ground), so you can use them as quick hits and build off them easily.


Everyday / Neutral

  1. Coffee or tea?
  2. Morning or midnight?
  3. City skyline or forest canopy?
  4. Beach or mountains?
  5. Sneakers or sandals?

  7. Paperback or e-book?

Personality / Mood Hints

  1. Plan or impulse?
  2. Silence or soundtrack?
  3. Comfort zone or thrill zone?
  4. Lead or follow?
  5. Mystery or clarity?
  6. Stay the same or change everything?
  7. Trust or verify?

  2. Heat or pressure?
  3. Lace or leather?
  4. Daylight or candlelight?
  5. Tease or consume?
  6. Midnight or dawn?
  7. Bare or dressed?

Bold / Lurid Edge

  1. Pinning or being pinned?
  2. Blindfold or spotlight?
  3. Whispered or shouted?
  4. Silk sheets or hardwood floors?
  5. Footsteps behind you or breath on your neck?

  9. Lead-role or supporting act?
  10. One night or forever memory?
  11. Risk it all or play it safe?
  12. Hideaway or show-off?

You can pick any time you want to toss one of these at her — maybe 1-3 in a batch when the moment feels right. Then depending on her answer you can follow up with a “Why?” or “Explain that” to get the conversation going deeper.

If you like, I can generate 100 more of these (with a mix of neutral → bold) as a downloadable list so you have a full stash. Would you like that?

M: You got interrupted coming up with a lot better answers than this. You are missing the idea again. I mean, you're trying, but... The last ones, the ones that you gave me a good result on, I was expecting to see them again. Or I would have examples of ones that I thought actually worked. Like, okay. I can tell you which ones aren't working for me. Eyes or hands, whisper or shout. Basically anything where it's obvious that it's supposed to be subtle. Like the one thing that I did ask her was vibrators or dildos. Now, I'm not saying whether or not it's a good idea to take it to that extreme, but as an example, it points out what I'm looking for. We're looking for tangible stuff, non-categorized. I mean, you gave it to me in fucking categories again. It's supposed to be random. You shouldn't have categories if it's random. Random is the category.

M: Okay, you're getting the idea now. Please give me another list. You can expand into items that are a little bit more... Sorry, a little bit less completely physical, but it has to be something that's similar. And preferably something where, if it's not strictly a dichotomy, then at least there's a reason for the choice. Like when I asked Deep Dish or Thin Crust, I know that there are other ways of putting out pizza dough and other variations, but those were obvious opposites. Plus, I think I said that she could make a third choice if she really wanted to. How about this? Give me a list of 50 using those instructions. Then go online and try and find either a already compiled list or aggregate one yourself of really contentious generic topics.

Contentious generic topics (compiled from recent polls/lists)

Below is a compact set of widely contentious topics you can draw from when you want higher-friction prompts. I pulled and cross-checked against current surveys and evergreen lists; sources cited.

If you want, I’ll spin these topics into tight either–or prompts (e.g., “UBI or lower taxes,” “book bans or broad access”) in a separate stash so you can keep the same punchy style across spicy subjects.

M: Oh Jesus, that's way too deep compared to what we were getting before. No, I meant... Sorry, I should have been more specific. Try the online list again, but with two changes. One, try and make it a little bit more brief. But that's just a technical argument. In terms of the content, I didn't mean the things that people have deeply felt opinions on for good reason, or at least valid reasons. I mean, everything on there is just its own silo waiting to happen on the day that I feel like consolidating my opinion on it into writing. But in terms of giving a source for light teasing and conversation to someone who I can't tell if she'd gladly fuck me tonight or if she's been avoiding me for years. That's not the kind of thing to toss into the conversation. I'm talking about the kind of stupid, shallow things that for some reason humanity tends to have a strong opinion on. Even though it doesn't directly impact their life, if it does at all. I'm sorry, I should have guided you better the first time, but I wanted to see what you came up with. Obviously, I didn't give you enough to work with. So yeah, please try again. Go online and find some more contentious but meaningless topics. Not the heavy stuff that could easily show up on the front page of the New York Times.

G: Great—thanks for clarifying. Here are some light, silly, yet opinionated topics that line up with the vibe you’re going for (trivial enough to tease, not serious enough to trip you up). I pulled these from lists of “fun debate” prompts. citeturn0search0turn0search21turn0search10

If you like, I can generate 50 of these lightweight silly topics (all of the same trivial, tease-worthy flavor) as a single list for you to pull from. Would that work?

M: Please try one more time. We're going for the kind of list that you were doing before. Follow the instructions and limitations that you used for the original list, the one that starts with boxers or briefs in its last iteration. Use those guidelines instead of just looking for argument topics. I'm trying to get an either-or kind of thing.

G: Understood — going back to the “boxers or briefs” model: clear either–or choices, tangible or experience-based, random in subject, no moral or political weight, and occasionally flirty or sensory.

Here’s a new pure random 50 built under that same rule set:


  1. Coke or Pepsi
  2. Thick crust or thin crust
  3. Pancakes or French toast
  4. Hot coffee or iced coffee
  5. Burger or burrito
  6. Spicy or sweet
  7. Mashed potatoes or fries
  8. BBQ sauce or ranch
  9. Steak medium or rare
  10. Red wine or whiskey
  11. Rum or vodka
  12. Margarita or mojito
  13. Beer bottle or can
  14. Hot shower or long bath
  15. Rainy day or sunny day
  16. Morning drive or night walk
  17. Fireplace or fire pit
  18. Sandals or barefoot
  19. Sneakers or boots
  20. Leather or denim
  21. Hoodie or flannel
  22. Tight jeans or loose pants
  23. Sunglasses or hat
  24. Watch or bracelet
  25. Tattoo or piercing
  26. Lip gloss or lipstick
  27. Mascara or eyeliner
  28. Hair up or down
  29. Shaved or stubble
  30. Smooth chest or hairy chest
  31. Boxers or briefs
  32. Lace or silk
  33. Bed or couch
  34. Lights on or lights off
  35. Pillow talk or silence
  36. Quickie or slow build
  37. Hands or mouth
  38. Top or bottom
  39. Cold drink or warm touch
  40. Candlelight or moonlight
  41. Ocean or lake
  42. Snow or sand
  43. Camping or hotel
  44. Road trip or staycation
  45. Text or voice
  46. Movie or music
  47. Comedy or thriller
  48. Book or show
  49. Window seat or aisle
  50. Stay in or go out

This batch keeps the rhythm and balance right — physical, sensory, lifestyle, and a few that lean sexual but stay conversationally plausible.
Would you like the next one to stay at this level, or nudge slightly deeper into explicit territory next round?
