5 Sexy Games to Spice Up Your Relationship

Even if you have an excellent relationship, day-to-day hassles might make sex less of a priority. To the rescue: sexy games guaranteed to give you more sizzle between the sheets…

Whatever the reasons behind them, sexual difficulties are common, and can cause friction in even the best relationship.

So if you care for each other and yourself, you’ll need to work on getting your sex life back on track and better than ever.

Sexy games can help, especially if your relationship is healthy but simply lacks a bit of spice.

But if you’re experiencing real problems, then a surface-level fix might not be enough. Instead, consider visiting a qualified therapist.

Let the Sexy Games Begin

Sexy games for couples run the gamut from simple to complex.

You can purchase elaborate games with a variety of props from any sex shop or novelty store. Many couples find store-bought games help to set the stage, and can ease giggling or nervousness.

However, some couples prefer to make up their own sexy games.

Here are a few fun and frisky ones to try…

1. Truth or Dare

Turn this teenage slumber party favorite into a fun and sexy game for you and your partner. The only requirement: your imagination!

Start with each of you writing down at least five dares – they can be outrageous or lighten the mood (for example, have your husband wear one of your sexy bras). Or get more sensual. (“I dare you to allow me to do sexual act xyz,” or “I dare you to perform sexual act xyz on me.”)

Toss the pieces of paper into a hat and begin the game by one person asking the other, “Truth or dare?”

If your partner responds with “truth,” ask a question that you’ve been burning to know the answer to.

Make it provocative and fun. Consider dressing in suggestive lingerie with a glass of wine for each of you as the game proceeds.

2. Guess What This Is

This game requires some thinking and planning. Start by thinking tactile. What could be used on your lover’s skin to create goose bumps?

Some prop ideas:

• Feathers
• Ice
• A piece of fur
• Light string or rope
• Silk
• Wool
• Knobby fabric
• A soft ball
• A back scratcher
• Damp sponge

Let your mind go wickedly wild. Assemble all the textures and place them in a basket.

Blindfold your partner with a silk tie.

Begin by massaging your partner with an item from the basket. Without talking or making a sound, massage his body and let him guess what is touching his skin.

3. Painting for Pleasure

The couple that paints together stays together – or at the very least enjoys an artistic afternoon with body paints.

Purchase body paints from stores that carry personal luxury bath items.

The Kama Sutra company sells a boxed set of dark and milk chocolate body paints.

An edible dusting powder paired with soft brushes makes for a delicious, sexy game of painting each other’s body and then licking off the decadent chocolate.

Or make your own body paints at home with syrups for sundaes, such as butterscotch, strawberry, caramel and chocolate.

4. Picnic in Bed – Blindfolded

A twist to the tactile game is the sensual tasting game. Blindfold your partner and feed him various foods, both warm and cold.

Start with a bite of warm croissant dripping with butter and then a quick taste of freezing cold ice cream.

Squirt whipped cream on your fingertips and lightly touch his lips with each creamy finger.

Peel a grape, let him nibble on a strawberry and place just a drop of wine on his lower lip.

Offer him hot tomato soup, but not so hot that it might burn his mouth.

Peel a banana and use it suggestively over his lips.

Who knew that food could be so erotically wonderful?

5. Role Play

Many adventurous couples know that role-playing is an exciting way to spice up their sex lives.

Have a thing for men in uniform? Have your partner dress as a police officer or soldier.

Or you can dress up as a nurse or any other character you can imagine.

You and your partner should perform “in character” when wearing the outfits, leading to all sorts of sexy scenarios, including:

Temptress, cheerleader or French maid

Marauding pirate and wicked wench

Create your own costumes or head for a costume store to complete the look. The possibilities are all there, just waiting to be tried on and turned into erotic fun.
