5 Naughty Card Games for Couples to Boost Intimacy and Spice up Your Date Night

5 Naughty Card Games for Couples to Boost Intimacy and Spice up Your Date Night

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure for additional info.

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!

My partner Gabriel and I got one of these sets as a present a couple of years ago. Initially, we didn’t think much of it and let it lie forgotten in a bedside drawer for over a year.

But when we found it again and finally decided to give it a go, we absolutely had a blast playing it!

These kinds of date night card games are all very simple, which makes them quick and easy to get into.

Additionally, they all have some sort of connection building element to them. Because of this, they’re perfect for making you feel closer and more intimate with your partner.

They’re also a perfect way to introduce some novelty and unpredictability to a date night and bring back some of that spark from the very beginning of your relationship.

Gabriel and I had so much fun with that one game, it actually inspired me to look for other similar ones to try out. That’s how I created this list of all the best naughty card games for couples out there.

For your convenience, games in this guide are ordered according to their x-rating. Staring off with the most innocent ones and then gradually moving higher up the naughtiness scale… 😉

1. Truth or Dare for Couples


You’re likely already familiar with the all time classic teenage game: truth or dare.

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.

Well, this is an adult version of the classic game, designed specifically for couples to help them bring back some of that teenage giddy-ness into their date night.

This set contains 50 cards, each card has both a ‘truth‘ or a ‘dare‘ you can choose from.

All the truth questions have been designed with couples in mind, so that they can get to know each other more intimately.

The dares are all flirtatious and of sexual nature.

Nothing particularly dirty or explicit. It’s more of a light, easy going, playful kind of date night game.

The most striking thing about this deck of cards is its size.

The cards, as well as the nice tin box they come with, are quite small: 2.4 x 2.4 inches. (6 x 6cm)

This makes the set very discreet and also perfect for traveling.

However, due to the small card size, the questions and dares can be hard to read, especially in dim lighting.

It’s the most innocent of all the card decks I’m going to review here. So if you’re looking for some easy going, and slightly naughty way to spice up your date night, this will be a great fit.

2. Intimacy


This is actually a very similar game to the Truth or Dare for Couples.

Much like in the other set, each card in the intimacy deck has two options to choose from. Just that instead of truth you have a ‘question’ category and instead of dare there is ‘action’.

The questions in the intimacy deck will get you and your partner to talk about your past experiences, reveal your sexual preferences and fantasies.

Actions, on the other hand, are all flirty, teasing kinds of activities. Again, nothing overly crazy or explicit here.

This deck contains 65 cards with 125 questions and actions to choose from.

Again, it’s a very similar set to Truth or Dare for Couples. The main difference between the two is the design.

The cards in the intimacy deck are also slightly bigger.

Click here to see Intimacy

3. Talk, Flirt, Dare!


Talk, Flirt, Dare is yet another spin-off of the old time classic: truth or dare. Just that here you have THREE options to choose from: talk, flirt or dare.

With this set, you get a separate deck of cards for each one of these categories.

The ‘talk’ cards are to quiz both of you on how well you know each other.

The cards in the ‘flirt’ category will make you two reveal your sexual desires and preferences.

Dare cards (as you probably guessed already…) contain various dares of sexual nature.

This is a larger set than the previous two games, it contains 150 cards in total (50 cards per category).

Also, each card in the deck has only one prompt written on them. Because of this, it actually makes this game slightly more versatile than the previous two.

This allows you to choose just one category (‘flirt‘ for example) and play only with that one on your date night.

You can also use the ‘talk’ deck as a completely separate game to play with friends and family.

Overall, this game is well designed and thought through. The cards are actually regular playing card size with a big readable font.

None of the questions or dares here are particularly crazy or x-rated either. They are very playful and flirty though.

It’s a great game to deepen your emotional bond, boost intimacy and spice things up at the same time.

Click here to see Talk, Flirt, Dare!

4. LOOPY


Alright guys, it’s time to finally significantly move up the naughtiness scale!

Loopy is a date night game for couples that contains 5 different decks of cards divided into four stages of intimacy.

You get ‘Talks’, ‘Kisses’, ‘Fondles’, ‘Fun Activities’ and a mystery bonus deck.

The whole set is 150 cards in total.

It also comes with a spinner and a satin blindfold.

The rules of this game are fairly simple. You start at the first intimacy level: ’Talks’ and then take turns spinning the spinner to determine what the next move will be.

There are four potential outcomes here:

  • Pick a card and do what it says
  • Take off a piece of clothing
  • Pick a card from the bonus deck
  • Or move up the intimacy level (but only if both players are up for it)

The satin blindfold that’s part of the set comes in handy during the game for some of the activities.

LOOPY is definitely the naughties game so far.

Most of the cards in here contain some dirty questions and activities. There is some controversial stuff in here too. Like questions about your past, cheating, strange fantasies etc.

Also, LOOPY is a bit rough around the edges. It’s made in China and some of the wording and grammar sound a bit strange.

Overall, this card game was designed for couples to mix up foreplay with talking about things, touching each other and discovering new ways to please the other.

This set is perfect for spicing up your date night. If you are open minded and want to try out new fun things, this is absolutely the right game for you.

5. Cosmo’s Steamy Sex Games


Cosmo’s Steamy Sex Games is one of a few various date night card game sets released by the editors of Cosmopolitan.

This particular deck contains 118 erotic card with graphics and pictures. The cards can be used to play twelve couples-only bedroom games.

The games included in this set all have very creative names. They are: Dirty Truth or Dare, Sexy Scavenger Hunt, Dirty Disco, A Night of Naughty Adventure, Finish the Fantasy, Dicey Discovery, Titillating Trivia, Get Him Hot, The Cosmo Carnal Challenge, Daring Dice, Sexy Tarot Cards, and A Week of Passion Prop Play

Each of these spicy games comes with instructions, a list of necessary props, rules of the game and the designated cards.

The whole set comes in a fairly small 4.25 x 5 inch bright pink box. (10.8 x 12.7cm)

It’s a well designed, sturdy product. All twelve games are meant as a creative approach to foreplay.

There are some pretty crazy ideas in this box. If you’re looking to experiment with role plays and are up for adding some extra kink in your bedroom, this is the right choice for you.

You’ll definitely make some new experiences as a couple and spice things up with this date night game set.

Now, maintaining attraction in a long term relationship is not an easy feat. Most couples try to solve this problem by adding new experiences and activities to their routines.

Even though this approach can give you a short term result, it’s unlikely to create the lasting changes you hope for.

That’s because keeping the spark alive actually has little to do with adding new experiences and habits in your relationship. It’s more about removing the things that are preventing you and your partner from feeling attracted to each other instead.

If you’re interested in learning exactly what it takes to restore and maintain attraction in a long term relationship, you can check out our online course Rebuild Your Relationship

Here you’ll learn about the most common blocks that stand in the way of your attraction and what you need to do, to remove them and restore that special connection with your man.

Here are 15 tested date ideas that Karolina and I love doing during spring! These will get you out the doors and help you jump back into being active together. It’s finally time to feel the sun on your faces again!

1. Try Slacklining Together

You may have seen it and never dared trying it, but Slacklining isn’t as difficult as it looks. Karolina and I had no prior experience, we watched a couple of YouTube videos to get the basics and ordered a $35 slackline off Amazon.

Within 15 minutes of trying we were able to balance for a second or two (it’s especially helpful if you have your partner to lean on for support at the beginning) By the end of our one-hour session, we could make a couple of steps down the line unassisted.

It’s super rewarding to get in touch with your body’s ability to make adjustments in microseconds to stay on the line.

2. Go Pet Some Lovely Animals

Pull up google and search for petting zoos, some public parks actually have small ones for kids too. Petting animals is very therapeutic and relaxing, it can also help ground you, if that’s something you’re needing.

I find that in the concrete jungle, it can be easy to lose sight of the nature we come from. Seeing goats, donkeys or rabbits munching and pouncing about is a calming contrast to our busy lives.

3. Plan and Execute an Epic Picnic

Yes, the good old classic picnic. Be sure to put effort into your food preparation and don’t skimp! Get some brie, a baguette, grapes, a freshly pressed juice and selection platter of meats to go with, etc. Be generous!

Don’t forget a blanket and some water. If you’re not sure where to have your picnic, check google maps for a nice patch of green that isn’t close to any roads or busy streets.

Now when you’ve reached your destination and have set up, take pride in a date well prepared and planned! Enjoy your delightful little banquette and why not get to know each other a little better with 30 Meaningful Questions.

4. Find Tranquility in a Forest Walk

Karolina and I love walks and there’s nothing like going on one, when everything is blossoming to life. If you want to take it a step further, I recommend driving to a nearby forest. They are generally far less frequented, which will bring a relaxing stillness and focus to the two of you.

It’s a great time to allow your minds to wander out loud and bounce off of each other. You can let your feet carry you away and talk about Overcoming Anxieties.

5. Marvel at Life in a Zoo

When you see nothing but people and pets all day, it’s easy to forget that we’re not the only species on this vast planet. Whenever we’re at the zoo, Karolina and I are always amazed by the seemingly endless shapes life takes and that’s just a fraction of it! Did you know that monkeys alone have over 260 types of subspecies? Yeah! Neither did I!

Baffling stuff.

So go to the zoo, get to know your fellow planet dwellers a little and be blown away by their fact charts.

6. Offer Your Time Together

Do some research and select a type of volunteer work that speaks to both of you. For us it was sorting and packing items at a warehouse that were going out for donations or helping coordinate lodgings for middle eastern refugees.

Working on a common goal together and giving your time for what you believe in is very rewarding. We both found it reframed our world view and helped us appreciate the quality of life we have.

There are countless organizations that are eager for help and support, so find one that speaks to you.

7. Charter a Boat and Sail the Seas (or Ponds)

It’s not quite time for a swim yet, but you can definitely take a boat out onto the water. Rowing, motor or sailing, whichever floats your.. -We personally enjoy switching it up between paddle and sailing boats on the Alte Donau, our local backwater.

It’s nice to feel the wind in your face and let all your troubles float (I’m on a roll) away. Karolina and I find it nice to be alone and talk about what’s on our minds.

8. Do a Drive-In Cinema

Another classic. Definitely try this one if you’re feeling a little old school or nostalgic. We went to watch Dracula Untold in a lot that didn’t have more than a dozen other cars. It was full of couples, which certainly added to the date vibes.

If you choose to do this, make sure your car’s battery is in an okay condition, since you listen to the film over your radio by tuning into a specific frequency!

Our car battery was a little old and died, so we lost audio for a while and had to guess what the actors were saying for a moment while we turned the engine on for a few minutes to charge it up again.

9. Pick Wild Garlic For a Recipe

Wild garlic is a delicious plant that tastes a lot like -you guessed it- garlic. It’s milder and has a leafy taste. We love making soups or savory pancakes with it.

You’ll find it growing in moist, shaded areas, locally we find it in forests and especially near streams. A quick web search should help you discover areas around yourself. If wild garlic doesn’t grow around your area, research and find some other local edible plant, and go scavenge!

The beauty of this is that it gets you both into scavenger mode, where your eyes scan the ground for the best and finest leaves. Foraging for- and cooking your own food, is such a fun and rewarding activity. It’s a refreshing change to aisle browsing in grocery stores.

10. Visit Places You Were in Your Childhood

During our walks, we often end up in old familiar places, like where we used to live, play or go to school. What’s really nice about this, is that it brings up long forgotten moments in your life that are important to share.

It’s a totally different way of getting to know your partner. There might even be some memories that surface that are important to talk about. If you need help with Helping Your Partner Open Up, check out the article.

I had countless things to share with Karolina about my school days, it was amazing to tell her about it all and relive it. I began to appreciate just how much the experiences at the time shaped my beliefs and self-perception in my present day life.

11. Try Rock Climbing

After a mere 30 minutes of rock climbing, you will walk out with arms made steel. This stuff is intense, so be sure to go easy and do your stretches.

There are plenty of places that offer equipment like shoes, chalk powder and harnesses, so you don’t need to commit to anything. Just try it once for the hell of it and if you’re unsure don’t be afraid to get some pointers from fellow climbers. You’ll see plenty of people that know their stuff and are swinging around like monkeys. They’re mostly happy to share some advice.

When you decide to do this, be sure to wear loose clothes or at least stretchy fabric. It’s hard enough lifting your foot to the next notch, without fighting your own denim.

12. Jump On An Outdoor Trampoline

Who didn’t jump on mattresses when they were a kid? There’s nothing like bouncing around and hanging in the air for a second or two. What’s great about this activity is for everybody. You can go hard and high or very gently and it’s still super fun and an amazing workout for your body!

If you’re continually jumping, this will leave you breathless in 10-15 minutes, so be sure to have some water on you or buy some, after your session.

If you’re feeling really adventurous be sure to check out trampoline halls, they’re basically an enormous room covered in trampolines across all surfaces.

13. Cycling

This may be a typically European thing? I don’t know, but we love our bicycles. They can take you far away with little pedal effort and take you to places four wheels cannot go.

Karolina and I have covered much of Vienna and it’s outskirts by car and by bicycle and it does not even feel like the same place! There are countless things you miss while driving because you can’t simply stop wherever you like and take in the view. Not so when cycling and there are all these wonderful little places you discover that you cannot access by car.

14. A Night Under The Stars

You wouldn’t believe how different the sky looks in rural areas. There’s so much light pollution in the cities, we forget that there’s a canopy of stars covering all of the sky!

Pack your stuff, grab your tent and head out to a remote camping site for the night. If you can find one at a higher altitude, even better! (But pack for a potentially cold night.)

Be sure you have plenty of time to set up a tent and have a meal, there’s no point in rushing it and being stressed on your lovely date. Pitching a tent can be a great team building exercise too.

Now get all cozied up, you can lie outside of your tent wrapped up, or poke your heads out the entrance while lying on your backs. Pictures can’t do it justice, you’ll see a sky covered in stars.

Now imagine, each one of those dots in the sky is a star, just like our sun with exoplanets orbiting around it and each of those is located in the Milky Way (our galaxy) and that there are about 100 Billion of these stars in our galaxy alone!

Yeah, let that sink in for a moment..

Now that you’re feeling infinitesimally small, consider that there are at least 10 Reasons Why Relationships are Totally Worth it.

15. Go To An Observatory

So if you’re feeling lazy and can’t be bothered going with the effort of date number 14. Go to an observatory instead. It’s one thing to look to the sky with your hobby telescope and another to blow your mind with seeing the insane details of the craters of the moon surface magnified.

Yup, there’s a 3,474 km (2158 mi.) diameter giant rock, just sitting there in the sky, to set the romantic mood for the both of you.

10 Unique Questions for a Perfect Date With Him

10 Unique Questions for a Perfect Date With Him

Photo by Irena Carpaccio

From guy to girl, let’s be honest here…

Dates can be awkward as hell.

A little while ago a guy likely appeared on your radar and you two got to know each other a little.

Which eventually led to agreeing to go on a date…

But now that the date is around the corner and you’re maybe a little doubtful or nervous:

  • What if it’s weird or awkward?
  • What if HE’S weird and awkward?
  • Will I need a blueprint with the emergency exits?
  • Wait. What if HE doesn’t like ME?!”

I’m exaggerating a little here…

But if you can relate to any of the above thoughts, know that it’s perfectly normal to feel skittish.

As a man, let me also reassure you that MEN have these worries AS WELL!

Sure we play all cool and detached, but DON’T BE FOOLED!

It’s just an act.

So now that you’re going on a date, you can warm things up with a little small talk:

How are you?
The weather is so…
“Omg, did you hear what happened…?

You know, the classics, etc..

Then when the moment feels right, you can ask your date some of the following questions to peak his interest in you.

(Women who ask questions and take the lead are INSTANTLY respected more by guys)

The questions also have the added benefit of you gauging his answers and seeing if he’s OF INTEREST TO YOU.

Almost like a job interview, would you employ him? 😉

Let’s find out!

Question #1 | “What Is The Cheesiest Pick Up Line You’ve Heard So Far?”

“Are you from Tennessee?… ‘Cause you’re the only ten I see.

Terrible, I know.

But it can break some awkward walls.

Ask him (if you dare) and find out whether he’s actually used it!

It’ll give you a taste of his flirting skills (or lack thereof).

Question #2 | “Is There a Thing You Would Never Ever Do?”

Bold, cautious or total wimp?

Time to find out!

Question #3 | “What Things Do You Consider Yourself to Be Good At?”

Like most men, I’ll likely always fall for this one.

We’re just so “humble”, that we’ll never pass up on an opportunity to let every woman in the world know how amazing and great we are.

We just can’t help ourselves! It’s hopeless. 😅

But can he keep himself in check at least a little?

Also, if he isn’t totally self-absorbed he will RETURN the question.

Question #4 | “ What’s the Show to Watch on Netflix or Amazon Prime Right Now?”

You can tell a lot about a guy based on his favorite show.

Is he into series about tough but heartless gangsters?

No?

More the smart detective that solves impossible murder cases…

Or the heavens forbid, has he watched all seasons of FRIENDS a dozen times?

Time to find out which characters your date sees himself in!

Question #5 | “What’s the Best Thing That’s Happened to You?”

The lottery? A job opportunity? Finally managing that backward somersault?

Or if he’s really cheeky, “Obviously, this date with you…”

Question #6 | “Do You Have Something That You’re Proud of That You Haven’t Told Anybody Yet?”

Are you into mysterious guys? Some men have secret projects.

They’re often kept secret while they’re in their delicate development stage.

But maybe you’ve swooned him with your charm already and he’ll want to tell you EVERYTHING!

Question #7 | “What’s Something That Bugs You About the World?”

Are there things about the world that frustrate you?

Personally, there aren’t any for me… Except, you know, almost EVERYTHING that could be fixed or improved!

And he surely has his gripes too.

With this question, you’ll be able to see whether you care about and value the same things or live on the opposite ends of the planet.

Question #8 | “Would You Rather Go to a Family Reunion or an Amusement Park?”

Is his family pleasant or would he rather do anything BUT that?

I for one, would rather go for a walk alone in a graveyard as the clock struck midnight than attend my family reunion.

It’s nothing personal really, we all just collectively hate each other.

How about you?

Question #9 | “What Are the Best and Worst Flavours of Ice Cream?”

This can make or break a date.

You can take this one a step further “Ben & Jerry’s or Häagen-Dazs?

Things can get personal and ugly quickly though, careful with this question. 😉

Question #10 | “What’s the Worst Advice Someone’s Given You?”

Have you ever been convinced to do something by a friend who branded it as GREAT advice…?

That then turned out to be THE WORST thing you could have ever possibly done?

Yeah, me neither.

But let’s find out whether he has!

Conclusion

And there we have it.

10 questions that will undoubtedly keep your date on his toes, you in control and the last time you’re likely to see him.

I’m kidding.

But DO BE CAREFUL not to ask ALL of these questions on your first date!

He’ll think you’re nuts and you and I both know you’re a delightful human being, let him see that side of you…

The crazy can come later. 😬

So, pick only a couple of questions that you like and are actually CURIOUS to hear the answer to.

This will create an organic and super interesting atmosphere.

Plus he’ll see you as deep and be curious to learn more about YOU!

Let me know how your date went (I’m totally curious!) and if you have any questions about the questions.

Leave them in the comments section and I’ll get back to you!
