Fun Bedroom Games To Play With Your Man

Does it ever feel like your bedroom is just for getting dressed, undressed, sleeping, and the occasional round of sex? That routine can wear thin fast, for both of you. Rather than sticking to the same old sex every time, why not liven things up with a few bedroom games? Below are some of my favorite games to play with a partner. They're not just playful and fun — they also show your man that you're adventurous and genuinely enjoy having fun between the sheets.

Tie Him Up

I'd call this one of the gentler bedroom games out there. Tying your man up doesn't take much — just a bit of setup beforehand. It works great if your bed has bedposts. Simply loop some tights around each post, leaving enough slack to secure around his wrists.

Once you're both in bed, climb on top of him with a knee planted on either side so he can't wriggle free. Next, secure his arms to the bedposts so they're out of commission. With you in charge and his arms restrained, you call the shots. From here you could work your way down to give him head, or move into one of the many woman-on-top sex positions like Cowgirl, Betty Rocker, or Crab.

No bedposts? Just bind his wrists together and hold them above his head instead.

One important note: make sure he understands this is playful fun and that you're not trying to hurt him when you tie him up.

Racing 69

Racing 69 is a lighthearted game to try together. Here's the setup:

Get into the 69 sex position with your man. Once you're both settled, start giving each other oral simultaneously. Whoever brings the other to orgasm first wins; whoever finishes first loses. The loser owes the winner a forfeit — cooking their favorite dinner, cleaning up around the house, or dressing up in something extra sexy the next day.

Racing 69 is a straightforward game that's easy to pick up. If your guy wants a leg up, he can bring in a vibrator; if you want the edge, try giving him a handjob for a few minutes first to get him warmed up. These little advantages make the whole thing even more entertaining.

The Oral Sex Game

Think of this one as a mashup of your usual videogame, board game, or sport with sex thrown in. You and your man compete at something you're roughly equal at — Halo, chess, table tennis, whatever. The important part is that it's a fair match with a clear winner and loser. Whoever loses gives the winner oral sex.

This game is dead simple to set up and instantly turns any competitive activity with your man into something a lot more exciting.

Make A Sex Tape

Filming yourselves is something you should only try if you and your man trust each other deeply.

There's something undeniably hot about making your own sex tape. It's a private thing that belongs only to the two of you. It's less of a traditional 'bedroom game' compared to the others above, but it's still a blast. What makes it especially fun is getting to watch it back together afterward. Before you jump in, keep a few things in mind when filming.

• You don't need a fancy camera, just something clear enough to watch comfortably on a laptop.
• Propping the camera on a chair and leaving it there is the easy route, but it makes for a flat, boring recording. It's much better to have one of you hold the camera and move around to capture different angles and positions up close.
• Keep the recording hidden where no one will stumble on it. Rename the file something innocuous, like 'writing notes.' Skip storing it on your computer — use a CD or external drive instead — and password-protect it.

Keep in mind: only make a sex tape with your man if the trust between you is rock solid.

Why These Bedroom Games Are Worth Trying

These games are a great way to break the routine in the bedroom. You might feel a little nervous the first time you suggest one, wondering how your man will react. First off, that nervousness is completely normal — don't sweat it. Second, the real point of these games isn't just to deliver a mind-blowing experience.

It's about showing him you're adventurous. It shows him you want a fun, fulfilling sex life together. It shows him you're willing to try new things, even with a few nerves. And that quality is incredibly attractive to guys.
