Do you know the game Have You Ever?  It's typically used as an icebreaker:  "Have you ever had a broken leg?  Have you ever milked a cow?", that kind of thing.  Depending on the variation of the game, the person asking the question has already done whatever it is.  We actually played a slightly more X-rated version at my cousin's bachelorette party--ahem.
