X-Rated Bedroom Games

Contributed by Sarah Fielding, Lavalife

Add an element of sexy fun to your bedroom repertoire with these adults-only games. Approached with zeal, humor and playfulness, all are sure to be winners. Yeah, you're welcome.

Edible Treasure Hunt

Make exploring each others bodies erotic and tasty with this delicious game of seduction.

You'll Need: A blindfold, and a selection of soft, sticky edible treats -- chocolate sauce, jam, whipped cream, peanut butter, whatever you fancy.

To Play: Blindfold your partner and lead them into the bedroom. Have them take a seat on the end of the bed. No peeking. Now, using your selection of spreadable foodstuffs, carefully apply a different taste sensation to a different body part. Try dabbing honey on one nipple, jam on the other; trace your lips with maple syrup or add a dollop of whipped cream to your belly button. Once you've assembled your smorgasbord, lie down on the bed and invite your blindfolded lover to dine, using only their tongue to explore the menu. When your partner has successfully located all the food rewards, swap roles so that they too can feast on the erogenous picnic.

Lucky, Lucky Dip

An exciting way to bring sexual experimentation into your life; every one wins a prize.

You'll Need: Pen and a sheet of paper, a container (large jar, old hat etc) and a filthy mind.

To Play: Fold your paper in half length ways, and cut in half, then cut each half into six equal strips. Each partner should then have six pieces of paper on which to write specific examples of sex acts, fantasies or other activities they'd like to try. Perhaps you'd nominate a long-wished-for role-playing fantasy, or a new position you've been aching to try? You might like to write down the name of a prop or accessory you'd like to introduce to the bedroom? Write down your most erotic requests, fold the strip of paper in half and add to the container. The aim of this naughty game is to create a stash of inventive sexual encounters that can be drawn out at random and performed as a weekly treat, or as a reward for good (or bad) behavior.

Bad Bedtime Stories

Guaranteed not to send you to sleep, this erotic storytelling game will have you up all night.

You'll Need: A selection of juicy erotic fiction, a seductive, candlelit room, and a sense of adventure.

To Play: Before the games begin, spend some time with your partner selecting some appropriate bedtime reading material. There's plenty of lusty literature on the market from the fairly tame Mills and Boon-style depictions to descriptions so hot the ink practically drips off the page. Anthologies of erotic literature are a great place to start, acting as a sampler for the erotic fiction novice. When the mood strikes, reach for your naughty storybooks, light some candles and retire with your partner for the night. But before you nod off, you must read each other a bedtime story. Scan your chosen book for a passage that's hot and inspiring, and then take it in turns with your partner to read a few lines out loud. By the end of the passage, sleep will be the last thing on your mind, so put your powers of recall to the test and try to recreate the action of the scene you've just read.

Red Hot Poker

Be a poker stud with this naughty spin on the card game craze that's sweeping the world.

You'll Need: A deck of playing cards, clothing to use as betting chips.

To Play: Most of us know the basic rules and winning hands of poker. While it is useful to know how to make the best of the cards you are dealt, that's hardly the point with this adults-only version of the casino favorite. Each player starts the game wearing no more than six articles of clothing (Tip: Now's the time to break out your best silky underwear or other dress-up items). The cards are dealt as usual; the person with the losing hand has to take off one item of clothing. And when the chips -- and your pants -- are down, play continues with each partner wagering sexual favors in lieu of removing clothing. Suddenly the notion of a 'winning hand' takes on a whole new meaning...

Adults-only Toy Chest

Any self-respecting bedroom game players should have a well-stocked toy chest, which might include:

• Edible body paint
• Blindfolds
• Feathers
• Edible underwear
• Dice
