Sex board games have existed for many years (see: this blog post from 2007), but until recently, they were often the stuff of back-alley sex shops or to be purchased as gag gifts for your friends. As people become more openly interested in exploring their sexuality in fun and different ways, sex board games have made it out of the basement and into the bedroom (or y’know, the living room or the kitchen, there are no rules here).
Popular brands like We’re Not Really Strangers have released their own versions, online retailers like Lovehoney have plenty of sex board games to offer, and Amazon is chock-full of them, too. Most importantly, sex educators and therapists swear by these games’ potential to spice up a relationship and foster deeper intimacy — so, is it time for you to invest in one or two of them? We’re certainly all for it.
What Counts As A Sex Board Game?
Honestly, sex board games are exactly what they sound like.
The category includes card games, dice games and even sexy variations of classics you might know and love. They range in spice level from intimacy-building games designed to get to know your partner better to games that prompt you to perform various kink-based acts — and there’s plenty in the middle of that range, too.
