24 Sex Games That Guarantee More Fun In Your Bedroom
No more falling into a routine, especially when it comes to foreplay.
No more falling into a routine, especially when it comes to foreplay.
You need: A clock or an egg timer.
How to play: Pick a time interval — 20 minutes, let's say. For whatever interval you choose, tease each other with kissing, touching, and other forms of foreplay. But no matter what, absolutely do not allow penetration until that much time has elapsed.
Why: Most busy couples have foreplay down to a science, or rather, a routine. "Time Bomb" refocuses you on the pre-game show, the part that used to be so much fun before you lived together. You'll be surprised by how much slowing down changes things. You get really creative and really turned on.

You need: A scarf, necktie, or a blindfold.
How to play: Blindfold him. Lead him to the bed or other locale. Then proceed to ravish him — slowly, recklessly, teasingly — however you feel like doing it. You call the shots. Let his arousal be your guide.
Why: Not being able to see during sex has two major effects—it dramatically increases both sensitivity and psychological vulnerability. Either one is a powerful aphrodisiac (maybe you've heard of Fifty Shades of Grey?). Together they can create a love explosion.
Variation: He blindfolds you.

You need: Four neckties, or more elaborate restraints available at sex-toy stores or online; a bed, preferably one with bedposts.
How to play: He ties your wrists and ankles to the bedposts and has his way with you.
Why: It can be incredibly erotic to be completely powerless, to be the absolute center of his attention and to have no responsibility for or sway over what happens.
Variation: If you don't have bedposts, you may be able to tie your wrists to some part of your headboard or tie them together over your head or behind your back. You can get extra-long ties and be tied to the legs of the bed.

You need: A hairbrush, riding crop, or just his hands.
How to play: Tell your partner all the things you did wrong today. (You failed to take your coupons to the grocery store. You forgot the name of your new receptionist at work. You told your adolescent son to go to hell.) Then kneel on the bed. Your man spanks you using his hand or a hairbrush or a not-too-scary disciplinary accessory.
Why: Spanking feels good, actually. A smart smack on the butt creates a tingly, alert sensation that combines well with the other feelings of sex.
Variation: The sensations are especially interesting if he combines them with playing with the other body parts on display during your spanking. This is an excellent time to try inserting a vibrator.

You need: A big towel or blanket and a bottle of massage oil or cream.
How to play: Spread your towel on the bed or carpet and grease each other up with massage oil — legs, torso, breasts, everywhere. Now roll around for awhile and... see what happens.
Why: You will really be surprised at the difference a little lubricant makes in the feeling of skin on skin. Sure, it's a little messy. But worth it.
Variation: If you have a favorite secluded spot, this is fun to do outdoors, even on your own patio.
Tip: Don't put mint or eucalyptus oil on sensitive genital areas. But if you have a non-irritating lubricant, greasing up the sexual equipment can be part of the fun. But remember that oil-based lubricants, including massage oil, can degrade latex. So don't play this game if you're using condoms or a diaphragm.

You need: Scissors, a brand-new razor, and shaving cream.
How to play: Your partner shaves your pubic hair. First, take a hot bath to soften your skin and hair. Second, use scissors to trim the length. Third, lie on the bed or on a table and let that shaving expert, your mate, foam you up and shave you. It's scary at first, but if he's gentle you will not get nicked. He can shave everything or just neaten you up.
Why: Even though guys know what they see in porn isn't realistic, you'd be amazed at what a little one-time novelty can do for your sex life.
Variation: Shave yourself without telling your partner, and let him discover what you've done. Be careful when shaving parts you cannot see (this is what mirrors are for). Also, once you've shaved, decorating yourself with the edible treat of his choice — whipped cream, warmed fudge sauce, frozen orange-juice concentrate — can be fun.
Note: Later, use baby lotion or another gentle cream to soothe the freshly shaved skin. And yes, it does get a little itchy when it grows back. Totally normal. But here's how to tell when it's not.

You need: A car and a parking spot where you won't be interrupted, like your driveway and your garage late at night.
How to play: Have sex in the car. Pretend that one of you is a virgin. The other is going to teach him or her how it's all done. Give a step-by-step lesson on how to use hands, lips and other body parts to stimulate the teacher. Part of the game is to correct and improve technique as you go along.
Why: First, it's a blast from the past in the best way. Second, you find out things your partner likes that you didn't even know about.

You need: Nothing but your own body.
How to play: Have your dude either lie back or kneel with his eyes closed and mouth open. Then tease him by placing different parts of your body against his lips or tongue, like a nipple or finger, encouraging him to please you. Then you can switch places.
Why: Aside from how pleasurable it is for you to get those parts licked and kissed, it's erotic for him to wait in anticipation of what piece of you will arrive next.
Variation: Switch things up and have him play this game on you.

You need: A squeeze bottle of honey (and maybe some wet wipes nearby).
How to play: Plant little dollops of honey on parts of your body that you want your partner to kiss. You could draw a little treasure map toward your underwear, or use the sticky markers to note erogenous zones he hasn't explored yet, like your toes or collar bone.
Why: It's an easy version of getting food involved in your foreplay, and a more fun way of telling your partner what to do — like a softer, sweeter dominatrix.
Variation: Try it with flavored lube, if you don't want food on your body.

You need: A glass of ice water, and a mug of hot water or tea.
How to play: Kneel in front of your guy while he's standing or lying back on the edge of the bed. Give him a blow job where you alternate between hot and cold by taking sips of the icy cold or steaming hot liquid, swishing it around your mouth and swallowing, then going down on him again.
Why: Any blow job is likely to make him happy, but the temperature swaps will be a totally new and exciting sensation. On your end, the act will be way more interesting... and even fun!
Variation: Make your hands either hot or icy, and then give him the hand job he's been dreaming of.

You need: A feather or flower.
How to play: Get naked, lie on your bed, and close your eyes. Have your partner try to make you come using just that gentle prop — teasing over your breasts, hips, inner arms, and other super sensitive parts.
Why: Have you ever watched that scene in 40 Days and 40 Nights? Hello! Josh Hartnett can't have sex so he and his lady brush an orchid all over each other's bodies, gently blowing the petals as they both go nuts.
Variation: Feeling kinky? Try teasing with a riding crop.

You need: Your favorite (clean!) sex toys, a large bag, and a blindfold.
How to play: Put all your favorite sex toys in a large bag. One of you will put a blind fold on, reach in, and grab that sex toy. That's the toy you have to use for foreplay that evening.
Why: Sex toys offer a great lead-up to the main event, but sometimes, it can be overwhelming to decide which one to use.
Variations: Fll it up with his and hers toys — then your husband might be in for a surprise, too…

You need: Two six-sided die.
How to play: Assign each value a certain sexual act (and write it down so you won't forget)! Maybe one is that he rubs his penis against your breasts, and another is that he goes down on you. The game isn't over until you've gotten through all 12.
Why: It'll encourage you to spend time on foreplay, and will give a heightened sense or urgency about what's next? You'll certainly be stimulated and ready for the main event by the end.
Variation: One of you is even and one of you is odds. Whichever you roll, that's the person that has to be on the receiving end of pleasure. Another option? That person gets to pick what kind of foreplay you do.

You need: The Kink Starter Cards, various bedroom accessories (handcuffs, ties, blindfolds)
How to play: Start with the Kink Starter Cards, and have a variety of accessories that you find interesting on hand. (The Tickler Ring can be fun for sensory play, and the Twiggy Ring is perfect for massage.) Flip through the deck and grab the toy it calls for, encouraging both you and your mate to try whatever's listed.
Why: Combining a fun game with a to-be-determined accessory adds mystery and intrigue as you let the cards decide what happens next. Plus, it's easy to forget about all the options that exist, especially when you're a busy couple or have been together for a while. Using a deck of cards allows you to broaden your horizons when it comes to play time.

You need: Nothing
How to play: Start by thinking of a particular body part that you're dying for him to kiss. Keep that body part a secret. He'll try to guess the spot by kissing a body part — and keeps going until he guesses correctly. You decide if you want to be fair and stick to one spot...or keep him guessing.
Why: It's a simple game that doesn't require any toys or props — perfect for when you want to infuse a lot of excitement for little effort.

You need: 12 16-ounce Solo cups, ping-pong balls, a table to play on, your choice of alcohol
How to play: Take it back to your college days and set up 6 Solo cups on each end of the table, as if you were playing beer pong. Fill the cups with your preferred choice of alcohol — or water if you're going to keep things clean — and stand at one end of the table with your partner at the other end. Take turns trying to throw a ping-pong ball into each other's cups. When one of you scores, the other has to remove that cup and a piece of clothing. (Decide at the beginning of the game if the scorer gets to choose which item.) Whoever scores all six cups first gets to request the sexual favor of their choice.
Why: It's reminiscent of the days you were young and possibly a bit more carefree, And because you're alone, rather than at some overcrowded sticky-floor house party, you can really let go of your inhibitions and bask in the sexual fun.

You need: Nothing
How to play: Strip down and face each other on the bed. One of you is the leader, and you start with a touch, kiss, or lick wherever and however you want. Your partner has to mirror the exact same movement on you. Go slow, and continue as many times as you want — until you're ready to switch and let your partner take the lead.
Why: It's a great way to show your partner how you want to be touched without being so, err, obvious about it. And it's hot AF.

You need: Small slips of paper, a pen, two small bowls
How to play: Start by writing down phrases that you know will get your partner's attention. They can be silly, flirty, provocative — anything goes. Take turns reading the other person's slips out loud. If he so much as cracks a smile, you get to remove something he's wearing, and vice versa.
Why: Because sometimes laughter is the best foreplay.

How to play: It's a slumber party classic with a sexy twist. You and your partner each hold 10 fingers up, and take turns making the dirtiest "Never Have I Ever" statements you can think of. (Use this as an opportunity to share things you're dying to try: "Never have I ever been handcuffed"; "Never have I ever had anal sex.") If you've done it, you put one finger down. If you haven't, the person asking the question does. The first one to put all his or her fingers down "loses" (though let's be real: there are no losers here). The winner gets to pick the next activity, ideally from the list of "never have I evers."
Why: Whether you just started dating or have been together forever, it's the perfect opportunity to get to know one another's (very specific) kinks.

You need: A watch or timer
How to play: Agree on a specific interval (say, one minute) then set your timer and get busy. When the timer goes off, you have to stop whatever you're doing — no touching allowed. After another minute passes, you can get back to it.
Why: Taking things slowly can make sex even more mind-blowing. At the end of each "time out," you'll be even more eager to release that pent-up desire.
