If I can give you one piece of advice: bring some of the best sex games into the bedroom. Foreplay is about so much more than just the physical; it’s also about the mental tease. Sex games are perfect for couples, whether you’ve been together for years or are just starting out. They invite spontaneity, help explore sexual fantasies and, let’s be honest, bring a flirty, playful energy to the bedroom.
Don’t worry about feeling silly or not taking it seriously — you’re allowed to blush, giggle, and just be yourself. That’s actually a big part of intimacy. Sex games are a fun way to strip down, physically and emotionally, and get to know each other on a deeper level.
Of course, sex toys, massage candles, lingerie and flavoured lube are all amazing tools to mix things up, but a well-designed sex game can do just as much. Whether it’s simple sex dice or an anticipation-building board game, the right game adds excitement and connection. And look, we won't say no to combining it with a remote control sex toy or egg vibrator…
“Sex games allow for consent, communication, and pleasure among its players by making intimacy feel safer and more connected,” explains Courtney Boyer, Relationship and Sexuality expert.
Ready to play? Here are the best sexy games for couples to bring out your competitive sides, as well as answers to common FAQs.
How I test the best sex games:
Testing the best sex games is no game… well, okay, maybe a little. Honestly, it’s the perfect excuse to mix work and play. I rounded up the top adult board games, naughty dice, card games, and more, then put them all to the test.
The goal was simple: which adult couples’ games are easy to pick up, and which require too much reading and less fun? I also wanted to see which foreplay games don’t just get you in the mood, but actually help you understand your partner’s wants and needs better.
Of course, I leaned on expert insight too. I’ve attended countless press events and spoken directly with industry professionals to make sure each game meets a few key criteria: high quality, good value, and speedy, discreet delivery.
I also gathered feedback from a wide range of sources — Glamour’s commerce team, friends, and online users — to capture a variety of ages, sexualities, genders and preferences. Many of these sex games were tested alongside the best sex gifts, couple’s sex toys, water-based lubes and more, ensuring they’re as fun in practice as they look on paper.
Why you can trust me:
Tucked away in my bedroom closet is a set of drawers brimming with every kind of sex toy. I’ve been writing about sexual wellness for over three years, covering everything from dating sites for married couples to the best anal toys, how to use lube, and G-spot vibrators. I make a point of covering both household names — including Ann Summers, Smile Makers Collection, Lovehoney, LELO, and SheSpot — as well as exciting newer brands shaking up the space.
The sex and relationships industry is constantly evolving, so I stay on top of it by attending press events, tracking emerging research, testing the latest launches and speaking directly with leading sex experts and brand founders.
Even after spending countless hours advising people on how to choose sex toys and reviewing releases like the LELO SWITCH, I always strive to bring every perspective to the page—and to the bedroom. As a bisexual woman comfortable with many types of sex toys, I write for people of all genders, sexualities and experience levels. Pleasure is for everyone.
Ahead, the best sex games for couples for 2026, curated by Glamour's sexual wellness writers:
Game type: Sex board game.
Best for: Long-term couples who have an entire evening free.This is widely considered to be the best adult sex board game, and it's not hard to see why. It's an extensive game that will take up the entirety of date night, but you'll have great fun playing it. With over 400+ cards, it's a game you can return to many times over your relationship, and leave with something new.
How it works: You roll the dice, land on a square, and have to answer intimate questions, do naughty challenges, or learn something new about your partner. When you win? You get to make one of 50 fantasy cards a reality. Way hotter than Monopoly.
Save when you shop the best sex games with these Lovehoney discount codes.
Pros & ConsPros- With over 400 cards, this game offers years of fun without getting repetitive.
- From chill to seriously kinky, it covers all bases.
- Pick your objective, called a ‘fantasy.’
Cons- Gameplay can be slow, making it better suited for a full evening rather than just foreplay.
Game Type: Sex strategy game.
Best for: A fun, sexy night for two.Everyone knows how to play Connect 4, right? This is a saucy reincarnation of the classic party game, where you still aim to create a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of four coloured counters.
The twist? Each counter is decorated with one of our favourite foreplay moves. Think back massage, French kiss, and more. Whoever connects four first gets to enjoy a very explicit wish list.
How it works: Take turns dropping a counter of your colour into the grid and complete whatever action it lands on. Sample prompts include ‘nibble ear’ and ‘talk dirty’ — simple, flirty, and straight to the point.
This is an easy, low-pressure couples’ sex game that focuses more on physical connection than emotional deep-dives. Ideal for early dating, or just as perfect for long-term or married couples who know each other well and simply want to add a little extra spice.
Pros & ConsPros- No learning curve here: it’s classic Connect 4.
- Perfect for tapping into your competitive streak.

Lovehoney Oh! The Big Oh! Board Game
Game type: Sex board game.
Best for: Getting to know each other's sexual fantasies better.'Vanilla' is all too often thrown around as an insult, so let’s set the record straight: there’s nothing wrong with sticking to what you know. The best sex happens when both people feel comfortable, whether that’s missionary or an upside-down 69 — because honestly, not all of us have that kind of upper-body strength.
That said, this sex board game is perfect if you’re ready to try something new, like different positions, locations, sensations, or even exploring the sexual fantasies your partner has been dreaming of.
How it works: Roll the dice, then either answer revealing questions or complete a forfeit to move across the board. The challenges range from easy, gentle prompts to kinkier activities, letting you explore at your own pace while keeping the fun alive.
Our senior commerce writer, Sophie Donovan's thoughts after a (successful) round of play: “Oh, YES.” Looking to turn up the heat? Combine it with an egg vibrator or another hidden sex toy.

- Comes with a selection of fun, beginner-friendly bondage gear.
- Card game, dice and board game in one!

Best for: Ideal for new or established couples looking for a quick, playful break.Every couple needs a set of sexy dice, and this one is particularly fun as it comes with six dice. The pink ones are for her, the purple for him, and they feature a mix of body parts, pleasurable actions, and new locations.
How it works: Roll the dice to find out where, what, and where again.
The set is super small, making it easy to take anywhere for a little spontaneous fun. It’s quick, simple, and can be incorporated into everyday sexual romps.
Note: The gendered dice can feel a bit limiting. Queer couples can focus on the dice in their colour, but others might find the setup a little restrictive. Not our favourite lesbian sex toy, that's for sure.

- Includes gendered dice to accommodate different couple dynamics.
- Great sexual ice-breaker.

This game is ideal for relatively new couples since it doesn’t get too intense — perfect for something like a fourth-date activity.
Pros & ConsPros- Keeps the mood light and playful, perfect for easing any nerves.
- Difficult to get to the finish… on the board ;)

Cons- Not every card is sexy — some are just trivia, which can break the flow.

Game type: Gift set with Truth or Dare.
Best for: The ultimate gift for her.We had to include a top gifting option on this list of adult sex games, and this time it’s The Naughty Gift Set. It contains a clit vibrator, a pack of Truth or Dare cards, a massage candle, and a silk blindfold—basically, the recipe for a very hot night in.
The quality is superb, making it an excellent luxury gift for Valentine’s Day or an anniversary. The Truth or Dare prompts are designed for couples, offering a fun and sexy way to connect. And yes, the silk blindfold can also be incorporated into other games for extra intrigue.
The game itself is a small part of the set, but it still adds to the fun. And don’t underestimate the Mimi vibrator — it’s one of my favourite lesbian sex toys and perfect for scissoring.
“The Naughty Gift Set stands out because it's much more than a collection of items; it's a gateway to an unforgettable, intimate experience with your partner," shares Sienna Halliburton, sex educator at Je Joue. “It's thoughtfully curated to not only tease the senses but also deepen the connection between you two.”
She adds, "From the sensory-rich play offered by the toy, blindfold, and massage candles to the engaging truths and dares that dare you to delve deeper into each other's desires, every element is designed to work in harmony. This set isn't just about exploring your partner's body; it's about discovering new facets of your relationship through structured guidance and inspiration, making every encounter uniquely exciting.”

Intelligent Change Get Closer Conversation Game: Couples
Game type: Sex card game.

How it works: Simply select one of three levels — Close, Closer, Closest — and deep-dive into your thoughts on love, dreams, or previous life experiences.
It’s worth noting that this isn’t a sexy card game in the traditional sense. It’s all about genuinely getting to know each other. But you know how people say make-up sex is amazing? We’d argue that getting emotionally intimate can be even more powerful. Emotions are sexy, people—lean into them.

How can you avoid feeling awkward while you play sex games together?
The number one thing I hear from friends is that they worry about feeling silly when trying a sex game or role play. Totally normal! “Accept that awkward is part of it," says Anna Richards, founder of ethical erotica platform FrolicMe. "Have a sense of humour and laugh if anything feels awkward. In fact, why not make it extra awkward and look into your partner's eyes when an uncomfortable topic comes up?
"Embrace the awkwardness. Then, if you're brave enough, talk about what makes it an uncomfortable topic. Also say if you’re nervous. That honesty is far more attractive than pretending confidence you don’t feel.”
She adds: “Remember it is a game so there should be no pressure and no expectations, so treat is a fun and playful, it helps to soften any tension and curiosity takes over.”
Can sex games improve communication?
“Sex games are great for getting couples to start talking about sex in a lighthearted way," says Richards. "They can also be great for opening your mind to new things you can try in the bedroom.
"Games can reveal what excites you, where your limits sit, and how your partner likes to give or receive control. You’re communicating without turning it into a serious discussion, and that can feel safer, lighter, and more honest.”
How do you choose the right sex game for your relationship?
“I'd recommend picking one out at a sex toy shop together for an extra connective experience," says Richards. "Or, do some internet research together and try searching for games along different themes (nerdy sex games, kinky sex games, romantic sex games). Most of them have questions or other prompts to discuss sexual likes, dislikes, and fantasies.
"Also choose something that reflects who you are not who you feel you should be. If you feel shy together, don’t go for something too intense, however if you are already feeling comfortable, choose a game that nudges you a little outside your routine.”
Do sex games always lead to sex?
“Sex games aren't just a prelude to sex; their purpose goes beyond the physical," explains Sienna Halliburton, sex educator at Je Joue. "They serve as creative tools to break the monotony of routine, inviting both partners to step out of their comfort zones and engage in new forms of connection and pleasure.
"Whether it's exploring new sensations, ideas, or strengthening emotional intimacy, sex games are about enriching your relationship dynamically. They provide a pressure-free environment to experiment and communicate desires, fostering a deeper understanding and bond that doesn't always have to culminate in sex. It's about the journey together, not just the destination.”
Penetration and orgasms aren’t the point of sex — and they aren’t the point of sex games either.
Who are sex games best for?
Short answer: Anyone. “They’re great for couples who want to spice things up and for people who want a gentler, lower-pressure way to explore intimacy," explains Courtney Boyer, relationship and sexuality expert. "If you feel like you've been stuck in a routine, struggle to initiate or communicate about sex, have mismatched desire levels, or want more emotional closeness, then sex games are for you.
"Sex games provide structure in situations that can often feel awkward, and for many, structure is incredibly freeing.” They might also be helpful for couples who don't get much tme together, along with long-distance sex toys…
