Find the best sex games to ramp up the fun, in and out of the bedroom
Roleplay, bondage, stripping or foreplay... Adding a sex game while intimate can help increase the fun. So, we've compiled a list of the best sex games that will guarantee a steamy night.
By Rebecca Roberts | Last updated Aug 19, 2025
Games in relationships are best avoided, but what about in the bedroom? If you’re looking to add some sizzle between the sheets, instead of relying on your go-to vibrator, a sex game might just be the answer you’re looking for.
In fact, according to Lovehoney's own sex expert, Annabelle Knight, “sex games begin with solid communication, and can significantly improve intimacy by facilitating openness and honesty between couples - as well as good fun and adventure!”
She explains that erotic games can help couples avoid the awkwardness of spontaneous sex talks by prompting honest conversations and sparking new levels of understanding. “A space is created primarily for expression of thoughts, feelings, and that honest raw communication,” she adds.
Whether you’re a card shark, a board game enthusiast, or a total beginner, the options in this roundup are guaranteed to amp up the sexual tension between you and your partner.
As Annabelle puts it, “sex games are fantastic for your wellbeing and mental health! They’re a perfect way to bond with your partner… Not only are you improving yours and your partner’s emotional connection and intimacy together, but you’re also boosting your own wellbeing.”
She continues: “This strengthening of communication, and tuning into each other, releases oxytocin - also known as the ‘bonding hormone’ or the ‘love hormone’... this mutual comprehension is bound to bring the benefits like a reduction in stress and anxiety, as well as building trust with your partner.”

What is the best sex board game?
Mumsnet users love Monogamy Couples Board Game, and it’s easy to see why. It’s an intimate and playful journey that brings partners closer, igniting passion and fostering open communication. With romantic and sensual activities, it's the perfect catalyst for unforgettable, steamy evenings, making it a favourite among Mumsnet users seeking to reignite the spark in their relationships.
Are there any sex games suitable for beginners?
There are plenty of sex games that are specifically designed with beginners in mind. These games are meant to be playful, enjoyable, and non-intimidating, making them perfect for couples who are new to exploring this aspect of their relationship. Some sex games suitable for beginners include:
Monogamy Couples Board Game: this game is great for beginners due to its gradual progression through different levels of intensity.
You and Me 50 Nights of Intimacy Game: this one is good for couples who want to try roleplay but don’t know where to start.
Sexy Scratch Cards: easy to play and doesn’t take too much effort.
Exploring together can also uncover preferences you didn’t even know you had. “Sex games are a tool for discovering new preferences,” says Annabelle. “You’re not expected to have all the tricks for adventure, and erotic games can be a perfect, lighthearted guide to pleasure… Couples will certainly start experimenting with genres of foreplay or toys they didn’t know existed.”
Remember, the key to enjoying sex games as beginners is to communicate openly with your partner, set boundaries, and always prioritise each other's comfort and consent.

How can I introduce sex games into my relationship?
Introducing sex games into your relationship can be a fun and exciting way to explore new experiences, helping to deepen intimacy with your partner. Here are some steps to help you successfully introduce sex games:
Communicate: have an open, honest conversation with your partner about your desires to try sex games. Make sure you’re both comfortable discussing your boundaries, interests, and any concerns you may have.
Timing: find a relaxed and private setting to bring up the topic. Avoid discussing it during intimate moments when either of you are stressed or distracted.
Motivation: explain why you’re interested in sex games, and emphasise that it’s about enhancing your connection, having fun together, and exploring new means of pleasure.
Choose together: browse through sex games together, and consider a game that aligns with both of your comfort levels and interests.
Start mildly: begin with milder options that are more approachable, then gradually explore more adventurous games as you become more comfortable.
Respect boundaries: always respect each other’s boundaries during play. If either feels uncomfortable, communicate openly and stop immediately.
Element of surprise: if your partner is open to surprises, consider introducing a sex game as a special surprise date night or gift. Don't forget some nipple suckers too for extra fun!
Keep it light and playful: laughter and enjoyment can be just as important as the sexual aspects of the games.
Connection: use the opportunity to connect emotionally and intimately with your partner.
Reflection: after trying a sex game, discuss how it felt for both of you. Share your experiences, what you enjoyed, and if there’s anything you’d like to try differently in the future.
Annabelle agrees that the benefits go far beyond the bedroom. “There are so many surprising benefits of introducing sex games into a relationship! A lighthearted, fun sex game can even be beneficial for your hormones... adding variety with a hot game for two can recharge that sexual chemistry and intimacy - laying the groundwork for a bit of adventure.”
She also highlights how sex games can help reduce anxiety, particularly for shy partners: “While having conversations about sex spontaneously may feel overwhelming and awkward, a sex game creates a space where both partners are equally interactive, and mutually involved… You can just have fun and enjoy the games, and build up mutual communication and comprehension, without feeling any looming expectations.”
