Does your sex life feel like it’s getting a bit boring and routine?
There are lots of ways to switch things up, from role-playing to new positions, to sex toys – if that’s your thing (but just a hint, there is an insane amount of cool sex toys available, for example at high-end adult stores like Ella Paradis or Hustler Hollywood).
But have you ever considered introducing food into the bedroom? Sure, it’s not the usual room for food, but you’d be surprised at just how tasty your romance is when you try these eight food-related games (or you can give edible sex toys a try).
Before we dive into these sexy food games, it’s a good idea to address the one thought looming in everyone’s mind: making a mess.
Food on a bed, while making love, is a sure way to ruin your sheets. So, there are a couple of things you can do.
- Remove comforters, quilts and favorite toss pillows first
- Add another sheet or an old blanket that you don’t mind getting dirty
- Use a PVC sheet or towels to protect the bed
- Lay a sheet on the ground, and take your lovemaking to the floor
And just remember, when it’s all said and done, even if you’re a hot sticky mess, there’s always the shower. Now, that we’ve got that squared away, here are eight sexy food games, and tips to stay safe.
Sundaes…with a cherry on top
This one is pretty self-explanatory. Take your favorite sundae ingredients and top your partner with them. Things like chocolate sauce, whipped cream, cherries and even caramel sauce work just fine.
And so your partner doesn’t feel left out, be sure to give him something sweet, too. Although, to be honest, he’ll probably enjoy being the sundae.
Taste test
This is a fun way to warm things up with your partner. Wearing your favorite lingerie, blindfold your partner (or vice versa) and feed each other fruits and/or vegetables. See if he can guess exactly what you’re giving him. But to keep it sexy, skip the carrots and celery.
Instead, opt for fresh, fragrant, and juicy fruits and veggies. Think watermelon, cherries, strawberries, peaches, plums, apricots, mangos, dates, figs, oranges, tomatoes, sweet peppers, etc.
Lubricate with aloe vera
You may have an aloe vera plant in your kitchen, and probably know that it’s a great natural remedy for burns.
But it also makes a great lubricant, too. Unlike other lubricants, it is completely natural, without any added chemicals. Not only is it fun, but it’s also edible.
Alternatively, you can find special sexual lubricants from Ella Paradis, a high-end adult store. They also carry plenty of organic lubricants!
Word spell
This game requires a lot of intent focus and concentration. And that alone can be a big turn on for you and your partner. Here’s what you do. Take something like maple syrup, honey, or anything sweet that you squeeze from a bottle.
Then, spell a word (or two) on your partner’s body, and see if they can guess what you write.
Before you write the new word, you have to lick it away. You can come up with a reward system. So, if he guesses right, he wins a kiss. If he gets the word wrong, maybe tease him instead.
Japanese nyotaimori
If you and your partner are fans of sushi, try nyotaimori, the Japanese practice of bringing sushi to bed with you.
But leave the chopsticks in the kitchen. Place sushi or sashimi on your body, or even around the lower part of your body. Then have your partner eat it using only his mouth. Just be sure to avoid anything spicy, like wasabi.
Hot and cold food
Using different temperature foods can be very arousing and stimulating. So, play with the erogenous zones, like the legs, bottom, back, belly, breasts, and neck. You can use a warm sauce, followed by a cool scoop of whip.
You can trace their body with an ice pop, or line their back with jello squares. And as always, Bon appetite!
Enjoy a picnic in bed
You can enjoy a sexy picnic, and treat it as the appetizing foreplay. Choose some foods that are already pretty sensual. Here are some top picks to try:
- Mangoes: This juice fruit is innately sexy, so enjoy each fleshy piece and share it with your partner.
- Watermelon: Not only is watermelon juicy and refreshing – it’s important to stay hydrated with all that lovemaking! – but it’s also a nice icebreaker when it comes time to spit those little black seeds out.
- Strawberries: When these berries are in season, they’re a true treat, and also much less messy than mango.
- Fresh figs: You’re probably used to seeing dried figs, but if you can get your hands on fresh figs, you’ll have one sensual fruit to enjoy. They’re rich, sweet and glorious.
- Almonds: These pair very well with fresh figs, and they’re a fun finger food to feed each other with.
Vegetable garden
So far, the food games keep the food on the body. But if you and your partner are interested and comfortable with taking things a step further, some vegetables are safe if used near or inside the genitals.
Vegetables like zucchini, carrots, and cucumbers can be possible options, but there are some important tips to keep in mind to keep you safe.
First off, clean the vegetables properly – that includes peeling the carrot. Secondly, be sure that the pieces are large and firm so there’s no risk of them breaking. And if you’d like to be extra cautious, slip a condom over these pieces to prevent infection or irritation.
Food warnings
Food-related sex games can be one good time, but there are some things to remember. Here are some key warnings:
- Avoid foods that either of you is allergic to
- Avoid spicy and/or salty foods, like horseradish, mustard, wasabi, hot sauce, citrus juices, vinegar and spicy peppers. Stingy body parts are a sure way to kill your libido.
- Avoid sugar and salt, which can be too rough for sensitive body areas
- Avoid sugary substances near the vagina to avoid yeast infections
- Avoid herbs and spices, such as ginger, mint, and cinnamon. They can also cause stinging and discomfort, especially in sensitive areas.
Food related sex games can be a fun, goofy, creative and sensual way to enjoy your partner. Just remember to prepare and play safe. The rest is history!
