The Best Sex Games For Couples, According to Experts

If board games are a regular part of your at-home date night routine, allow me to upgrade you to something better, hotter, and hornier: sex games for couples. Not only are sex games an easy and sexy date idea, but they also help you connect with your partner. “The best sex games help you break free from routine, experiment with new ideas, and improve intimacy,” sex therapist Melissa Cook, PhD, says.

Sex games do far more than just kick off date night, though. “They also serve as a way to enhance communication, trust, and the overall bond between lovers,” Dr. Cook says. Plus, sex games for couples can help you communicate your needs and wants with a partner in a way that isn’t intimidating: “It allows people to explore desires, fantasies, and boundaries,” Dr. Cook adds.

Just like when you introduce any new kink or role-play idea to your partner though, make sure everyone is on the same page before diving into a new sex game. “It’s important to set clear boundaries and expectations from the start,” Dr. Cook says. “Communicate your needs, desires, and wants and ensure your partner does the same.”
