As adults, we don’t always give ourselves enough space to play, says licensed psychologist and AASECT-certified sex therapist Megan Fleming, Ph.D. But having the structure of different games, whether they’re more romantic, kinky, or somewhere in between, gives couples a chance to explore in ways they may not have considered. “It creates curiosity in a safe way,” she explains, “because it’s something outside of you that’s giving you the guidance, and giving direction to try things you may have never thought of on your own.” (P.S. Fleming recommends sipping rather than shots for the longer games, for obvious reasons.) Whether you’re newly dating or have been together for years, every couple can make a little more room for play in their relationship. With so many games to choose from, you can have fun, spice things up in the bedroom, and learn more about each other as you play.
