Flowers and chocolates perfume the air; we’re close to Valentine’s Day. Those tried-and-true gifts are great—thoughtful even—51 weeks out of the year, but on this special day, get creative. Galvanize your love life with a sexy game.
While there are dozens of premade options you could buy (and I recommend that you do), my post focuses on games you can play without the added expense.
Your game can be as simple as strip poker, or better yet, strip Twister. Straightforward carefree fun. If you want to tantalize your lover’s brain as well as his body, try games like Scrabble or Scattergories that require some measure of thinking. I guarantee concentration will become more challenging with each item tossed to the floor.
Run out of clothes? For a bonus side-game, number your six favorite body parts, then roll a die to determine which one you kiss. Play like this until you can no longer keep your hands (or your lips) off each other.
More adventurous lovers should give role-play a try. You and your partner choose a scenario and improvise as you progress. Not quite comfortable with that level, then start with a game of fantasy charades, but instead of performing solo, you act them out on one another.
If you’re somewhere in between, replace the list of actions with a box of costumes. Whichever item you draw from the box inspires the scene you perform on each other. For every cheerleader, French maid, and sexy nurse fantasy you bring to life, he’ll portray your firefighter, naughty cop, and randy repairman. (Full disclosure: I stole those last two from one of my manuscripts.)
The best part about these sexy games is that even for the most competitive players, no matter the outcome, you both win. And if you truly need the title, the rematch can sate all your cravings.

Hey Tonya-
This was a funny and fun piece just right for getting into the mood for St. Valentine’s Day there is one thing I did one Valentine’s with a former spouse and that was a scavenger hunt for jewelry with losing clothing items playing “hot” and “cold” (hot- lose an item cold perform an act) talk about win win!

That sounds like a fun game! Thanks for the tip.
