22 Fun & Flirty Drinking Games For Couples

Below you'll find a collection of sexy drinking games for couples, strip variations included, whether you're trying to get to know each other better, unlock a wilder side, or just kill time when you're both bored. We've also thrown in twists on our sexy questions and other naughty drinking games to keep things fresh every round.

You can jump straight to the first game, but it's worth reading through this section on boundaries and safety first.

Don't worry, none of this is overly strict, just useful.

Boundaries & limits – First, respect matters above all. These games are designed to open you both up and bring you closer, which may mean stepping outside your comfort zone. Even so, respecting boundaries matters, even when you don't fully understand where they come from.

You could even agree on safe words for a kinkier drinking game and use them if things edge too close to someone's limit.

Remember, boundaries are about what you personally will or won't do or allow — you can't dictate someone else's limits and call it a "boundary."

Safety – Next, safety. Most of these games carry some inherent risk, and alcohol has a way of amplifying even small risks.

Knowing when to stop – A game naturally winds down once boredom sets in, or once it evolves into something else entirely — maybe something sexier. It's also smart to call it quits once you've crossed from tipsy into sloppy. Nobody wants that.

Finally, even though these are drinking games, most adapt easily if one or both of you would rather skip the alcohol. Treat them as a starting point and get creative!

Now, onto the games!

1. Never Have I Ever

This classic goes by a few names, and while it's a party favorite that gets your friends spilling secrets (and getting drunk), it works even better as a couples game!

The rules are simple: one person names something they've never done. Everyone else drinks if they have. Bonus points for the follow-up story! Take turns to keep it rolling.

You can name literally anything, but sticking to sexual territory can be revealing — has your partner ever tried cuckolding, or been pegged? You can also float things you'd like to try — your own fantasies — to gauge your partner's experience or curiosity!

Playing one-on-one? Try this twist: each player holds up three fingers. On your turn, name something you've never done. If your partner has done it, they lower a finger. Whoever runs out of fingers first drinks.

2. Truth Or Dare (Or Drink)

Rather than just discussing what you've done, add a twist to classic Truth or Dare! You know the drill:

1. One person picks "Truth" or "Dare."
2. The other asks a sexy question (truth) or issues a challenge (dare).

Add "Drink" as a third option, letting either of you dodge an embarrassing confession or a dare you'll regret. Drink enough, though, and you might find yourself getting bolder as the night goes on! Maybe you end up agreeing to a striptease, or daring your partner to go down on you.

3. Beer Pong

Practically everyone's played this at some point in college or at a party. It's great fun, and teaming up helps take down the competition — though all you really need for a couples tournament is two people, a ping pong ball, and some plastic cups!

Traditional rules: toss the ball from one end of the table, aiming for a cup of alcohol on the other side, which the loser then drinks. First person with an empty row of cups loses.

You can tweak the classic rules to allow bounces. Worried about germs from a grubby ball bouncing around? Fill your cups with water instead and take an actual drink or shot from something cleaner when it's your turn — or just dip the ball in strong liquor.

Alternatively, write dares under each cup. Instead of drinking, a good toss means your partner has to complete the dare.

You can also turn pong into a strip game, or wager sexy favors, like a sensual massage, for the loser to deliver.

4. Strip Poker

Looking to get your man out of his clothes? Any drinking game with "strip" in the name is exactly what you're after! Brushing up on your poker skills beforehand helps, but honestly, even losing works in your favor since someone's getting naked either way.

Wear lingerie underneath your clothes for maximum effect — he'll catch a glimpse each time you strip. Feeling generous? Play badly on purpose and lose faster.

Strip poker doesn't traditionally involve alcohol, but it's easy to fold in. Swap taking off clothing for taking a shot when you lose — great if you're feeling a little shy about undressing, though that shyness probably won't last long!

5. Dice

There's something about dice that instantly makes bedroom games more fun, and building a sexy drinking game around them is no exception! Grab a set of sex dice if you own some, or just use regular dice — assign a sexy activity to each number from 1 to 12 if you're rolling two.

• Take a body shot
• Take a shot or finish your drink
• Remove a piece of clothing
• Kiss — brush up on some incredible kissing techniques
• Give a blow job or go down on your female partner
• Give a hand job
• Masturbate for your partner to watch
• Pose for a nude (tips for taking sexy nudes)

You can also assign one die to actions and the other to body parts, so a roll might send you licking, sucking, biting, kissing, or caressing your man's mouth, fingers, genitals, chest, or stomach.

6. Drunk Uno

We've all played this childhood card game — and possibly damaged a friendship or two over it! There's plenty of room to layer in drinking rules. Try a shot for playing the wrong color, or two shots whenever a "Draw Two" gets played.

No actual Uno deck handy? A regular deck of cards works fine for Crazy Eights, which is essentially Uno stripped of the special cards.

7. TV/Movie Drinking Games

Got a show or movie you both love — or hate equally? Turn it into a drinking game for two! All you need is drinks or shot glasses, plenty of alcohol, and some free time.

Pick something to watch, and drink whenever a designated trigger happens. Plenty of inspiration already exists online if you want ideas.

For instance, when watching…

• Star Wars: Drink for every shot of space, every "Noo," or every time C3PO scolds R2D2.
• Game of Thrones: Drink whenever someone says "Winter is coming," a naked woman appears, your favorite character drinks, or you see The Wall.
• Jeopardy: Drink whenever someone answers wrong.
• Supernatural: Drink whenever Sam yells "Dean!" or a classic rock song plays.
• Sports: Drink on a fumble or a missed hit.

Feel free to invent your own rules if none of these fit.

And if you get distracted by a little sofa spooning halfway through, no judgment here.

8. Video Game Drinking Game

Another solid option: build a drinking game around your favorite video game — a great way to bond and have fun together. Pick something you both enjoy and are roughly equally matched at.

Whether it's Mortal Kombat or Mario Kart, drink every time you take a hit. Playing Minecraft? Drink every time you take fall damage. Nearly any video game can be turned into a drinking game with a bit of creativity!

You'll be surprised how quickly things escalate.

9. Fuck, Marry, Kill

Also known as "Kiss, Marry, Kill," "Bang, Smash, Dash," or "Wed, Bed, Dead" — not your typical couples drinking game, but a genuinely fun one between partners, or as a naughty game with friends.

Simple rules: name three people, and your partner decides who they'd fuck (or kiss), marry, and kill. Depending on how playful your name choices are, this can range from genuinely revealing to a full-on laugh riot.

Mix it up by choosing sets of people who are:

• All extremely attractive
• Not attractive at all
• Outside your partner's usual type
• Very similar to each other
• Exes
• Mutual friends

Be ready to answer the same questions yourself, reasons included, if your partner turns it around on you.

10. You Laugh, You Lose

Even losing this game means you had fun, since losing requires actually laughing! Take turns trying to crack your partner up — tell a joke, pull a face, show them something ridiculous.

To turn it into a drinking game, losing costs a drink. Once the drinking phase wraps up, raise the stakes to sexual favors or foreplay instead.

11. Yes No

In this one, you drink every time either of you says "Yes" or "No." Keep an eye on each other and call it out when it slips through — or drink together whenever it happens.

You can even layer this into another couples drinking game if you're feeling ambitious enough to multitask!

12. Two Truths And A Lie

Take turns making three statements about yourself — two true, one false. Your partner has to guess the lie.

A wrong guess costs a drink or an item of clothing. Two wrong guesses in a row? Both penalties at once.

A few tips for mastering this one:

• Keep the lie brief.
• Don't save the lie for last.
• Balance mundane lies ("I have two brothers") against unusual truths so nothing stands out too obviously.
• Watch your facial expressions closely.

Playing with someone sexy? Stick entirely to sexual statements, or sprinkle a few in.

Try statements about who, where, what, and when you've had sex or masturbated — or lean into fantasies and kinks instead.

13. Hot And Cold Kisses

A fun, sexy game worth trying next time you're together. One partner kisses, the other picks a secret spot on their body. The kisser tries to guess it, placing kisses across the other's body.

The kissee guides with "Hot" as kisses get closer to the secret spot, or "Cold" as they drift away. The kisser adjusts accordingly, chasing "hotter" until they land on the spot.

Then swap roles… unless things have escalated to the point where you'd rather move on to something else!

14. Twister

You're not alone if it's been years since you last played Twister, but it makes a surprisingly sexy couples drinking game — or just a fun one with friends.

On a tight budget, DIY a mat from a shower curtain and some paint, or grab one secondhand.

Officially, two players start facing each other from opposite ends of the mat, one foot on a yellow circle and one on a blue circle each. A third player stands on the center red circles. Plenty of people skip the formal start and just jump in on the first call.

Standard play has a referee calling "hand" or "foot" plus a color based on a spinner. Playing one-on-one? Skip the spinner — one of you calls the body part, the other calls the color, alternating turns.

Players try to follow instructions without toppling over or letting an elbow or knee touch the mat. Bow out if a call becomes physically impossible.

There are several ways to spice this up into a proper drinking game across multiple rounds. Here are a few starting points…

Place shots on each circle – Players must drink before placing a hand or foot down. Use clear liquor, and fill a few glasses with water for a built-in break. Optional: a used circle stays off-limits until every shot of that color is gone.

Start each round with a shot – Everyone gets a little looser as the game goes.

Losers take a shot – Winners stay sober.

Losers lose an item of clothing – Optional: winner picks what comes off.

Remove clothing whenever the spinner lands on red – Keeps things balanced. You can free a hand or foot to undress but must replace it right away.

Not into combining drinking and stripping? Totally fine — pick whichever rules sound most fun for the two of you!

15. Flip, Sip Or Strip

All you need is a coin. Call it in the air. Guess right, and the coin passes to your partner. Guess wrong, and you choose between losing an item of clothing or taking a shot. Then it's their turn.

Stripping might be the smarter call if a shot would make flipping or reading the coin harder!

16. Would You Rather?

Ask your partner to choose between two options, usually both carrying some downside — think drinking toilet water versus licking a bathroom floor.

That said, not every question has to be grim. You might ask something like, "Would you rather turn invisible or read minds?"

These questions reveal a lot about how someone thinks. And of course, you can always lean sexy with your picks!

Turn it into a drinking game by letting either of you drink instead of answering.

17. Jenga

Jenga has a way of building tension almost as thick as sexual tension itself. Pick whichever variation below sounds most fun.

Prompts

Write a kinky activity or dare on each block (pencil erases cleanly). These can range from flirty to filthy — sharing a sexy secret, touching yourself or your partner (only with permission). Add wildcards too, like "Keep this block as a freebie" or "The other player goes twice." You could also add a shot penalty — or two — for someone else, or a "waterfall" block where everyone drinks until the person to their right stops.

Don't want to write directly on the blocks? Write 54 prompts on slips of paper instead, drop them in a bowl, and draw one every time you successfully pull a block.

Strip

Lose a piece of clothing after every turn. After each round, everyone but the loser gets to put one item back on.

Refusing a prompt also costs you an item of clothing.

Write player names directly on blocks — pulling that block costs that person a piece of clothing. Blank blocks can cost the puller two items instead.

Optional: whoever ends up fully naked gets spanked by everyone else. Losers owe the winner(s) a sexual favor.

Drinking

Take a shot before the game starts, or before/after every turn.

Label blocks with names, roles, or traits, like:

• Host
• Men
• Women
• Guests
• Skip
• Shot for all
• Green/blue/brown eyes
• Youngest/oldest, lefties
• Oldest/shortest
• Singles
• Couples
• You (pick who)
• 10-second chug
• Nose goes (stay silent; last to touch their nose drinks)
• Go again, reverse
• Waterfall
• Ripple (drink once, neighbors drink twice, their neighbors drink three times, and so on)
• Water break
• Eyes closed
• Chicken dance
• Person to the left/right
• Color warrior (pick a color; everyone drinks once per matching item of clothing worn)
• Me and you (pick who else drinks)
• Glasses wearers
• Rock, paper, scissors (loser drinks)
• Jinx (players on either side must drink)
• Battle of the sexes (drink if you're not the same sex as the puller)
• Skip a turn
• Exemption (skip the next required drink)
• Sobriety test (say the alphabet backward, drink if you fail)
• Southpaw (non-dominant hand only)
• Strike (drink three)
• Finish your drink
• Try again (replace the block, pull a new one)
• Two truths a lie (drink if your lie gets guessed)

Mix and match whichever rules sound fun, even for a group of just two.

19. Names Games

These run in the background all night alongside other games, revolving entirely around names.

No Names – No using anyone's actual name during play. Slip up, and you strip or drink.

Nicknames – Assign everyone a nickname. Fail to answer to it (or slip and answer to your real name), and you strip or drink.

20. How Well Do You Know Me?

Best played by couples who already know each other fairly well — though there's still plenty of fun to be had even if you're newer to each other.

Psst, here are some questions to help you get to know your partner.

Write a short quiz about yourself, ideally true-or-false for simplicity.

Your partner drinks for every wrong answer.

Optional: you drink for every answer they get right.

Once done, swap and repeat.

21. Charades

A family classic, given a sexier drinking-game makeover. Use the original prompt cards or have everyone submit their own.

Take turns acting out a prompt. Every 30 seconds without a correct guess costs the actor a shot (or a sip if you're pacing yourselves). Standard rounds run two to three minutes — pick what works.

Want it steamier? Stick to movies with racy themes or scenes only!

You can also flip the format into Pictionary using the same basic rules.

22. Spin The Bottle

Our final couples drinking game usually gets played in a group, but it adapts easily to just the two of you!

Instead of people around a circle, use objects — a vibrator, a blindfold, massage oil, chocolate, handcuffs, lube (why you should use lube), lingerie, or anything else with sensual potential. Even more fun: throw in a few innocent items and figure out how to make them sexy!

Spin the bottle. Whatever it lands on, either instruct your partner what to do with it — or figure out what you want done to you.

A Note On Alcohol

Alcohol pairs naturally with a lot of these games — it's a classic social lubricant! Still…

Use good judgment. Stay somewhere safe. Never drink and drive. Hydrate and eat between rounds.

Playing just the two of you? Stick to smaller pours or sips, or mix a weaker cocktail, since your turn comes around fast. Sipping instead of shooting works too. For games built around shots, clear liquor with a few water-filled glasses mixed in keeps things manageable.

Unless getting properly drunk is the goal, pace yourselves.

Think twice before combining alcohol with certain settings, like a pool or hot tub, or with any restraint play (bondage tips for beginners) involving blindfolds or gags — alcohol slows reaction time, which matters if someone needs to remember a safe word or release a restraint quickly.

Of course, drinking often leads to sex, which might be exactly the plan! If so, check out our guide to drunk sex. Just keep in mind alcohol can also make using condoms or other precautions less likely, so talk safety while you're still sober and keep everything you need within reach. Set things up so nothing you'd regret later becomes an option.

Looking for hot games that lead to sex without needing alcohol at all?

With this lineup of sexy, kinky drinking games, your night's about to get a lot more interesting. Whether it's a longtime partner, a group of friends, or someone brand new, there's something here for everyone! Got a favorite couples drinking game we missed? Let us know in the comments!
