Top 10 Sex Games You Need to Try

Feel like the spark in your sex life could use a top-up? Playing some naughty games is one of the easiest ways to get it back. You might even discover a whole new side to your partner. Here are 10 sexy games guaranteed to upgrade your evening.

The 6 most popular erotic board games and sex challenges

#1 Dice locations

All you need is a notepad, a pen and a die. Write down 6 exciting locations where the two of you have never had sex, and number them. Choose places outside the house — the park, the car, a fitting room — or somewhere indoors, like the kitchen counter or on top of the washing machine.

Now take turns rolling. You can play this for as long as you like. Want to make it really exciting? Roll once a day for a week. That way you’ve got something to look forward to every single day.

Tip! Not feeling inspired? The Kamasutra dice come pre-loaded with positions and locations — just roll.

#2 Hide and seek — the naughty edition

In this game you don’t hide yourselves — you hide sexy items the two of you can use together. Think a sex toy, a pair of handcuffs, some massage oil, or a blindfold. Take turns hiding things around the house, set a timer (one minute, say), and let your partner search.

If your partner finds something in time, it’s your job to spoil them with it. Nothing found? Then you get to be spoiled with something of your choice. With endless options, this one won’t get old quickly.

#3 Erotic massages

Take turns massaging each other. To make it more sensual, try different oils — massage candles or edible massage oils are gorgeous. Start at the feet, calves, shoulders or back. Don’t head straight for the intimate bits — work your way there slowly.

Almost there? Tease the inner thighs first. The build-up is half the fun. Use lube or a 2-in-1 massage gel for any genital massage — regular massage oil can irritate sensitive skin down there.

#4 The fantasy jar

Each of you writes a few sexual wishes on small pieces of paper and puts them all in a jar. Agree how many you’ll act out. Then take turns drawing one and bringing it to life.

Always respect each other’s limits. Stick to fantasies you genuinely think your partner will be up for. You can empty the jar in one evening, or make it last for months by dipping in every now and then.

Tip: Out of fantasy ideas? A Tease & Please love box comes with around 100 ready-made cards full of sexy challenges. Lovely as a gift, too.

#5 Role play

Sexy role play is so worth a try. The options are endless — nurse and patient, student and teacher, cop and criminal. The fun part is being someone else for a while; it can feel really freeing, and you might catch yourself doing things you wouldn’t normally do. Just pick something you both find genuinely fun.

You can take it up a notch with a matching costume or lingerie set. Once you’ve decided on the scene, scroll through some role-play lingerie or costumes together to get into character.

#6 Strip poker

What’s a list of sex games without strip poker? It’s the classic for a reason — every round, the loser takes off one item of clothing. Once everyone’s bare, you can keep the game going by adding sexy dares for the loser of each round.

Not into poker? Try a different card game or any classic board game with an erotic twist — heck, even a video game or a pillow fight can work, as long as you make up your own rules. Anything with a winner and multiple rounds gets the job done.

Tip: Tease & Please’s Kamasutra playing cards feature different positions on every card — so you’ve already got a built-in nudge in the right direction.

#7 Blindfolds

Use a scarf, tie, or actual blindfold to cover your partner’s eyes. With sight removed, the other senses go on high alert. Tease them with a feather tickler, or massage different parts of their body. Lick, stroke, spank, massage — light up every nerve ending.

Then swap. You can also pair the blindfold with erotic food play — feed each other strawberries dipped in chocolate, or let your partner taste something off your body…

#8 The time bomb

For this one you’ll need an hourglass, timer or alarm clock. Once it starts, you take turns kissing, stroking, doing anything that counts as foreplay — but no penetration allowed while the clock is running. The tension keeps building, and by the end you might want each other more than ever.

Pick whatever time limit you like, but keep it at least 15 minutes to make it properly challenging. A teasing game like this is a brilliant way to get to know each other’s bodies — and you’ll often pick up new things about what your partner loves. Once the timer’s up, you can finally go all the way.

#9 Truth or dare

The classic Truth or Dare easily turns into an adults-only edition. Prep some cards in advance with cheeky questions and dares, so you’ve always got inspiration. Take turns asking truth or dare? — your partner picks, and you ask or assign.

It’s a great way to explore boundaries together, try something new and reignite your sexual spark. You set the dial — anywhere from “lightly cheeky” to “groundbreakingly sexy”.

Tip: Stuck for ideas? Order the adult Truth or Dare edition. Prefer something more romantic? Sex Talk is full of intimate questions to discover new things about each other.
