Game Ideas for Zesty Married Couples

Lovemaking can be comforting, thrilling, healing, cleansing, and strengthening. It can also be downright fun! But when I tried looking up some zesty game ideas online. . . oh my! Even with a web filter in safe mode, some things came up that I did not want to see! For my fellow sisters in Christ who have playful hearts, I offer these game ideas that you can read without fear.

Guess What? Gather together household items with interesting and pleasant textures, smells, and tastes. Blindfold your husband with a sleep mask or bandana. With your husband resting comfortably (however much or little clothing he wears for this is up to you two), gently stroke him with one item at a time (wherever you touch is up to you—let him be surprised). See if he can guess the item. If the item is fragrant, be sure to pass it under his nose. If it tastes good, caress his lips with it, or give him a taste. Take turns. See who can guess the most items.

Flashlight Using a small flashlight in a totally dark room, point to one spot on your body. Your husband gets to kiss you in that one spot only. Point to another spot. Turn the flashlight on and off, bring it in close, or pull back for broader areas. Take turns controlling the light.

Slip-and-slide Tuck a shower curtain, or clean tarpaulin, over your mattress. Add a few squirts of baby oil. Strip down, and you're ready to go!

Draw Start with index cards (or you can use pieces of paper). Cut the cards in half, and separate into two stacks. On each card of the first stack, write an action. (Kiss, dance, etc.) Include a mixture of sweet, zesty, and silly actions. On each card of the second stack, write a body part. Any body part, not just the zesty ones. Mix up the cards in each stack, but keep the stacks separate. Husband and wife take turns drawing one card from each stack, then doing what the cards say, with the person's own interpretation. For example, Kiss / lips directs a kiss, but it could be gentle or passionate. Dance/nose can be quite silly.

Zesty Charades Start with a stack of index cards, cut in half (or use paper or card stock). On each card, write a zesty word or phrase. Include those special words that you only use with your spouse in the bedroom, along with words like position, and heat, that only sound zesty, because of the mood. Make as many zesty words and phrases as you can think of, shuffle the cards, and put them face down. Set a timer. You get two minutes to act out as many words as you can, without speaking. Then it's your husband's turn. Spice this up even more by adding a special zesty reward for the winner.

Secret word Blindfold your hubby with a sleep mask or bandana. Write a zesty one-word suggestion somewhere on his body with a tasty treat, like chocolate syrup, honey, or canned whipped cream (something with a nozzle for writing). Use sugar-free, if sugar is an issue. If he guesses the word, he gets a taste of the treat, and another word. If he misses, it's your turn.

Board games You can turn regular board games into zesty games by changing a few rules. Checkers: add a zesty treat for jumping, for capturing a checker and for crowning. Monopoly: collect zesty rewards for landing on property and passing go. Scrabble? Only zesty words allowed. Don't forget about good old-fashioned strip poker. And if you're still bendy enough: Naked Twister!

Puts a whole new spin on Game Night, doesn't it? ::wink:: Never lose the fun of lovemaking! If you have a zesty game idea, please share it. We Christians need a safe place to share and learn. Remember, you can remain anonymous, if you're shy.
