In this adult game, players draw and read prompts from a card of their choosing that tease what the storyteller could share (such as "The last time I felt free..." or "A myth about sex I've had to dispel..."). The storyteller in the "hot seat" for each round also flips a prompt card to guide story direction and encourage lively conversation (such as "Share something you've kept secret"), and has the option to decide which story to run with.

In those cases, "nothing is geared towards pushing you for revelation. You can play it completely safe, you can position yourself at any level you want."

For that reason, we've asked sex expert Esther Perel to share with us her ultimate guidance on why you should try sex card games and how to find the right one for you.

Looking for some playful and fun ways to boost intimacy and spice up your date night? These naughty card games for couples might be just the right thing for you!Of course, we’re talking about sex games, adding to a relatively long list of saucy surprises, including red lingerie, massage candles, sex toys and more that all make an appearance for 14 February. She also points out that card games are a more familiar, comfortable way of adding variety to your sex life than sex toys might be. "It's not about buying a certain toy or sexual accoutrements or a candle or anything like that," she says. In those situations, she admits, "people may laugh, because it feels awkward; because it doesn't fit anymore in the relationship." On the other hand, card games often encourage storytelling and structured exploration.

When selecting a sex card game, it's important to consider the type of romantic experience you're looking to have. For instance, are you looking to verbally answer questions that can serve as foreplay (i.e., a question about your favorite kinks or about your favorite parts of your partner's body) or would you prefer a game whose cards dare you to perform certain sex acts? It’s a well designed, sturdy product. All twelve games are meant as a creative approach to foreplay. Each player is given a limited number of tokens that "require" players to tell a particular story—the rules usually dictate that they can choose from any of the story cards—or to help fellow players take a pass if they don't feel open to sharing. Again, it’s a very similar set to Truth or Dare for Couples. The main difference between the two is the design.It is the quality of our relationships that determines the quality of our lives," Perel maintains, when explaining her penchant for sex card games and her drive to create her own game, Where Should We Begin. "Today, we often need new resources to help us manage the complexity of relationships, because the norms are shifting under our feet, and the rules that guided us through the relational landscapes have really changed massively. So we often find ourselves with a lot of choice, but also a lot of self-doubt, and a lot of uncertainty." Where you and your friends asked each other ‘truth or dare?’. And if you choose ‘truth’, you were forced to answer uncomfortable questions that reveal embarrassing things about yourself. And if you choose ‘dare’ you had to do silly little challenges, like talking to your crush or ringing on your neighbors door and running away. Fetish Seductions certainly won’t be for everyone, but it’s a great way to start exploring your desires. And given you can use plenty of these components outside of the game, it’s pretty good value for money as far as sex card games go.
