As Taylor Swift once said, “Love is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right.” But sex? Sex is a game you can have a little fun with. Especially if you’re literally playing a sex game. What’s a sex game? From steamy, DIY takes on old classics like dirty truth or dare to intimacy decks created with adult playtime in mind, a sex game is any fun little extra-sexual activity you and your partner(s) may add to your sex life. Some brands make card and board games specifically for foreplay, including questions or tasks that require players to do or confess something spicy. Other sex games aren’t original sex games, per se, but adult spins on the games you already know and love. (Think: Monopoly, Twister, and Jenga with “strip” or other sexy elements.) Whichever way you take it, incorporating sex games can be an extremely effective way to add a little extra fun to your sex life. For your fun and pleasure, we’ve curated this list of the best sex games to play in the bedroom. So whether you’re trying to play coy with a little horny hide and seek or get rowdy at home with some “Strip Twister,” there’s no shortage of sex games that’ll make everyone feel like winners. Now go forth and get lucky! Sex Board Games and Card Games for Couples Yes, sexy board games and card games exist, from spicy versions of old classics like Monopoly and Truth or Dare to intimacy decks featuring sexy prompts and questions to help couples bond on a whole new level.

You & Me A Game Of Love Another board game rife with hot and surprising challenges to bring you and your partner closer than ever in the bedroom. Tower of Pleasure Yep, Dirty Jenga is very much a thing! Sexopoly There’s a Monopoly version for basically every state and hobby, so it makes sense there’d be a sex version as well. Similar to the normal game, you move tokens and land on properties, but in this spicy version, there’s a lot more flirting and sexual trivia involved. Oh, and if you can’t pay your rent, the other players might literally take the shirt off your back. Lovehoney Oh! Kama Sutra Playing Cards If you’re a fan of card games and trying to master new positions, combine your two seemingly unrelated passions with this clever card deck from Lovehoney. Each card is a different Kama Sutra position, but the deck itself is pretty versatile. Play your favorite card game, and then try out the position on whatever card you land/use/draw/etc. Truth or Dare Card Game This classic sleepover game is about to get a very sexy twist thanks to this Truth or Dare pleasure deck from Unbound. Couplicious If you’re looking for a fun game to pull out when your equally adventurous friends come over, Couplicious is definitely a must-have. The game is a mix of trivia, role-play, and confessions, and is fun for the whole group/polycule/what have you. Talk, Flirt, Dare This one is a little less overtly sexual, but the questions in Talk, Flirt, Dare are all about playfully getting to know each other better, and the reviews swear by it. Sometimes, the best way to get it on is to make the actual date focused more on connecting and just straight-up having a lot of fun together. Choose Your Pleasure The Choose Your Pleasure card game features two decks full of sexy scenarios. The decks have a variety of spicy challenges and the game comes with dice so you can randomize prompts. Oral Fun Board Game Up your oral sex game (literally) with this Oral Fun board game, featuring spicy trivia questions and oral-focused prompts. Sexy Advent Calendars Who says you need to wait until the holidays? You can find advent calendars for sex toys, lingerie, etc., and break them out whenever you so choose. This kinky, non-holiday-specific one is perfect for any time of year. Throwback Sex Games for Couples Inspired by old-school favorites you know and love, these DIY-style games make it easy to put a sexy spin on the classics you know and love, from Twister and Jenga to MadLibs and Scrabble (yes, Scrabble). Sexy Truth or Dare Sex therapist Rachel Wright suggests trying a NSFW version of Truth or Dare. And while you could spring for a designated sexy card game version, you don’t necessarily need a deck to give this classic game a spicy upgrade. You can play it the old-fashioned way by getting creative and coming up with spicy prompts all on your own (or browsing some of our recommendations here). Strip Twister Some of the hottest sex games are simply fun twists on the classics, and one of the best is obviously Twister. I mean, you’re already using your literal bodies as the game pieces (fun fact, the game was considered quite risqué when it first debuted in the ’60s) so add in an extra sexy element and you have yourself a bonafide sex game. Each time someone “loses,” they have to take off an article of clothing. You’ll be stripped down and tangled up in no time. Sexy MadLibs You know those games you played on road trips when you were a kid? Well, best believe they can have a sexy spin. Whether you play in the bedroom or while driving home for the holidays together, grab a MadLibs pad or printout and only use dirty responses for the answers. Strip Scrabble Like regular Scrabble, except you can only spell out dirty words. (None of that “qi” nonsense.) Every time your partner gets a point, you have to remove an item of clothing. (And vice versa, because fair is fair.) Strip Pong Set up your dining room table like a beer-pong table, but skip the brew: Arrange six 16-ounce plastic cups in a triangle shape at either end of the table, and grab some ping pong balls. You’ll stand at one end of the table, with your partner at the other. Take turns trying to throw a ping pong ball into the cups at the opposite end of the table. When one of you makes it in, the other has to remove that cup…and a piece of clothing. The first person to land a ball in all six cups gets to request a sexual favor of their choice. Pick a Card, Any Card Start with a deck of cards and assign each suit a different sexy meaning. Example: hearts represent kissing, diamonds equal a massage, clubs are manual stimulation, and spades signify oral. Take turns picking cards from the stack and treating each other to the sexy move you draw. The numbers on the cards represent how long you have to do each action—so if you get the nine of diamonds, they have to give you a sensual rubdown for nine seconds. If they pick the ace of clubs, you give them a one-second handy. You can also replace seconds with minutes, if you want to play for longer. Seven Minutes in Heaven Seven Minutes in Heaven is a step up from Spin the Bottle. But now that you’re not in braces in your parent’s basement, Alison Tyler, author of G Is for Games suggests making it dirtier. Set the kitchen timer for seven minutes and then hop in the coat closet together for a torrid quickie. The timer creates a sense of urgency, and the small, dark space makes it feel like you’re doing something forbidden—so hot. Blindfolded Poker Recommended by sexologist Alex Miller, this game combines strip poker and truth or dare. You’ll need a set of poker cards and maybe a pen and paper to write your bets down. To play, pick whatever style of poker you like, but none of the players can look at their cards—the idea is to bet without seeing them. Instead of betting with money, you bet with actions. “For example, ‘I see your oil-massage, and I raise you with a hand job,’” Miller explains. “Once betting is over, players flip over their cards and whoever loses has to do all the things that have been said.” Kinky Sex Games for Couples For those who like it a little on the freaky side, some extra-spicy games that blend elements of kink/BDSM into your playtime. Freeze Out Get kinky with a little temperature play and take turns exploring each other’s bodies with ice. Keep in mind that you should be very gentle with ice and keep your movements light and teasing. Wait until the ice has sufficiently melted down a bit and your partner is used to the cold sensation before heading down to their genitals. This not only amps up their desire, it also ensures they won’t be getting freezer burn anywhere sensitive. Paid By the Panty Vibrating panties and wearable massagers are must-haves for any goodie drawer, but why not take them out for a night on the town? Before going out to dinner, both you and your partner simply each slip on a pair and exchange remotes. When you’re out to eat, whoever orgasms first (remember: discretion is key here!) has to pick up the tab for dinner. If you’re still having fun, you can go round two for dessert. The “May I?” Game Slow down and explore each other’s bodies while asking “May I?” before every touch. Be flirty or bratty to spice things up. Raunchy Retail Therapy Visit a sex shop or lingerie store together and tell your partner they can pick one thing they want to see you wear, no questions asked. Give them an allowance to spend so they stay in your budget. Don’t let them show you what they bought until you get home from the shopping trip. Enjoy watching their jaw drop as they see you walk out in their fantasy getup. Mystery Toy Blindfold your partner naked on the bed and then tease them all over using a series of sexy objects. Caress them with a silky thong or a simple feather, have them try to guess what you’re stroking them with, and don’t move on to the next object until they get it right.
