When couples have been together for some time, boredom arises out of the same old sexual routines. This is completely normal for even the healthiest of relationships and it certainly doesn’t mean there is a problem with either partner. Our bodies simply get used to our day to day actions, meaning that from time to time we need to spice things up. And what better way to make something fun than with adult board games.
Engaged in Foreplay: Lose a Turn (And Your Shirt)
Board games are a fantastic way to bring some life into a stagnant sex routine. They encourage foreplay, something that is essential in the maintenance of a healthy relationship as it helps to stimulate arousal. It gives you time to figure out exactly what you and your partner are in the mood for as well as space to change up the dynamic for a more enjoyable experience. Foreplay requires imagination and investment, something that is also shared while playing board games.
Games such as Behind Closed Doors, The Oral Sex Game, and Let’s Fool Around! are great for facilitating a mood which successfully arouses partners.
Behind Closed Doors is excellent for providing you with ideas for dirty talk, expressing desires for experimentation, and the cards themselves can even be used to encourage sexual touching as they are hidden in surprise places.
The Oral Sex Game provides a similar avenue for foreplay, focusing more on stimulation of the genitals, and letting surprise guide you to techniques you may have never considered before.
Finally Let’s Fool Around!, perhaps the most exciting of these adult games, has you leaving foreplay up to fate by rolling dice with different body parts and actions. The game allows for exploration of erogenous, or pleasure, zones and builds exhilarating sexual tension as you and your partner don’t know what will happen next.
Foreplay and board games go hand in hand by getting participants genuinely excited about experiencing a whole new world of fun.
Communication: Talking is the Ticket to Riding
Another benefit to adult board games is that it creates a relaxed environment in which to discuss what you like. Much like foreplay, communication is also imperative for partners as it prevents discomfort during sex as you’ll both be on the same page. Sometimes you may feel awkward talking over these aspects of a relationship, which is why games are handy to make the discussion less stressful.
A game such as Hump! encourages you and your partner to ask each other questions about your libidos. The questions are randomised, so it feels less confrontational and more casual in discussing what turns you on. Plus, the person who answers ten questions correctly gets to pick to do one of whatever sex ideas were discussed! This incentive pushes partners to listen to each other’s wants and needs, thereby improving their trust during sex.
Community: For Friends Naughty and Up
Games are made to be played with many people and adult board games are no exception to that rule. While perhaps not as intimate as games between partners, they still allow healthy exploration into sexual enjoyment with like-minded people. It’s always nice to know you’re not alone as you learn more about what you like sexually, and these are board games that are perfect to help find your crowd. There’s also the added factor that they can just be really fun!
A game such as Who’s the Biggest Pervert? helps you learn more about your friends while having a drink. Players take turns answering questions about certain acts, all of them naughty, and those who have participated in the act must take a drink. It’s light-hearted and simple but provides insight into people’s sexual history and may perhaps give you a list of ideas to try with your own partner.
Bachelor and Bachelorette parties can also benefit from the presence of adult games. A game such as Pin the Macho on the Man serves as a bonding experience through sexual open-mindedness and a chance for you to discover what other people are into while at the same time having a good laugh.
Enjoyment is crucial to any endeavour, especially sex, and it’s reassuring to know that both partners are happy in their participation. Adult board games encourage foreplay, facilitate communication, and allow you to learn things about your sex drive that you may not have realised.
