Here are 7 erotic games to reignite passion:
1. Sensory Deprivation: Blindfold one partner and explore their body using various textures and temperatures.
2. Role Play Roulette: Write different scenarios on slips of paper and randomly select one to act out.
3. Erotic Truth or Dare: Take turns asking intimate questions or giving sensual challenges.
4. Strip Trivia: Ask trivia questions; wrong answers mean removing clothing items.
5. Intimate Scavenger Hunt: Hide sensual items around the house for your partner to find and use.
6. Body Paint Twister: Play Twister using edible body paint on the mat for added intimacy.
7. Passion Poker: Use intimate acts as betting currency in a game of strip poker.
Remember to establish boundaries, use safe words, and prioritize consent. These games can help couples explore new experiences, improve communication, and rediscover physical intimacy in a playful, low-pressure setting.
Once the honeymoon phase is over, it is quite normal for a couple to go through periods of fatigue. Women then seem to be particularly sensitive to routine. It was once thought that female desire found its ideal dimension within stable relationships rich in emotional intimacy, but more recent studies suggest instead that it is precisely familiarity that extinguishes interest of women for sex. Not to mention the accumulated stresses of work, children, laundry, and all the other tasks of adult life, to wit, those that lead to asking for nothing better at the end of the day than Take off your makeup and fall plumb into bed.
However, desire does not necessarily have to be spontaneous: there is also responsive or reactive desire, which is a type of desire that arises in response to an intriguing situation. We discussed this with Dr. Giuseppe Iannone, psychologist, psychotherapist and sexologist based in Monza and Milan.
Talk about it together
“The key to a satisfying relationship is always communication, and this also applies to sex. Since many erotic games aim to give each other explicit assignments and directions or play with certain imagery, it is always best to start with an honest talk about one’s limitations and preferences,” recommends the sexologist. “This can include favorite positions, words that promote arousal (or those that turn it off), a certain way of cuddling, and perhaps sharing some exciting fantasies or thoughts, even if you don’t necessarily want to put them into practice. It is not mandatory to share all of them and it is perfectly normal to want to keep some of them to yourself, start by share the ones that can help you choose the most suitable game for you“.

In short, the important thing is to make sure that a sexy and fun time doesn’t turn into a tragicomic moment or into an argument complete with slamming doors, mishaps that can happen when you are not on the same page. “Talking about it together can also be a cue for reflection on one’s knowledge of one’s body as a sexed object, that is, on the different ways of giving pleasure to oneself and receiving pleasure. We often focus on technique forgetting that pleasure is a subjective matter, what works with one partner may not work with another. That’s why it’s important to get to know each other and give each other a chance to get to know each other.”
How to overcome shyness
Whether you are taking advantage of the game as an excuse to loosen up a little or to make suggestions in a soft way, an attack of shyness is completely understandable. However, nothing prevents you from turning this phase into a game as well, using some ploy to avoid direct confrontation. “Many couples prefer to use written messages, e-mails or notes to overcome embarrassment. Communicating at a distance helps you feel less exposed, less vulnerable in the face of the other person’s reaction,” Dr. Iannone continues.
