Updated: 10th October, 2024

Are you looking for a more passionate, exciting, and fulfilling relationship? If your answer is a resounding (or subconscious) YES, read on. The Naughty Game is one of Joyful Couple’s sexy card games designed for couples hoping to spice up their sex life by trying new things in the bedroom.

It's not just about trying naughty bedroom games; it's about looking at the ways you and your partner interact with each other in a new light.

And if there’s one thing we know at Joyful Couple, it's that when people look at their relationship in a new light–even if it’s outside their comfort zone–they’re capable of achieving amazing things together.

Relationships are all about communicating, learning, and growing together. A healthy relationship should provide a safe and emotionally secure space where both partners can feel free to express emotions, thoughts, memories, and fantasies without judgment. The Naughty Game provides a splendid framework for couples to freely explore areas not usually touched upon.

How the Naughty Game can take your relationship to new heights

What is the “Naughty Game”?

At its core, the Naughty Game is an intimate and sexy card game for couples ready to take their relationship to new emotional and sexual heights. Sex is important for most couples, and the Naughty Game assists this by creating an experience that awakens yours and your partner’s mind and body with heightened sensations, opening you both to more intimate communication.

The Naughty Game allows fantasy exploration in a safe environment where different boundaries can be tested. Naughty bedroom games can rekindle emotions and feelings that you and your partner may have not felt in a while, or ever.

The Naughty Game is designed to give couples a playful, sensual way to discover each other all over again. It invites you to let go of inhibitions and dive into a space where curiosity and excitement take the lead—without fear or judgment.

While you can jump right in, we suggest taking your time, embracing the anticipation, and letting the game become a natural buildup to something even more intimate. So, are you ready to explore new depths of connection and pleasure with your partner?

Step 1: Get Comfortable

We all know it’s important to be in the right mood before engaging in sexual intimacy, so be sure that both partners are ready and willing to play the game.

Sometimes you just know your partner so well that you know when it is the right moment to jump into a naughty bedroom game. If those vibes aren’t there, it’s always a good idea to talk about it first and decide together when to try it.

The Naughty Game consists of 5 categories – each more intimate than the last, so you can slowly ease yourselves into the right mood. The first two categories mostly focus on light touches and conversation, slowly getting hotter as the game progresses.

Step 2: Find Your Partner's Comfort Zone

Is your partner shy about kissing or uncomfortable with physical touch outside hugging? Or is your love kinky and ready for anything?

The more a couple understands their boundaries, the greater the potential for sexy fun they can have while playing a card game.

Pro-Tip: Get On the Same Page

If you’re the adventurous type, you can jump right in, but if you prefer to go slowly, we recommend reading all the cards beforehand and taking out the ones you’d both rather set aside for another time. But remember: the best way to find out whether you like something or not is to try it yourself.

Either way, it's always a good idea to discuss your limits and boundaries before playing any naughty bedroom games. That way there are no misunderstandings and you'll both know exactly what to expect from each other.

Step 3: Decide the Safe Activity

Once you've gotten comfortable and know your partner's boundaries, there is one more step we strongly recommend taking: establishing your safe word or Safe Activity.

What is a Safe Activity? In case you pick up a card (activity) you’d rather not perform, the Safe Activity is what you’ll do instead. Because we’re all unique with different boundaries, a Safe Activity provides a life raft for both partners, relieving any anxiety.

The Safe Activity can be different for you and your partner, but you must agree on this activity before starting the game. And be sure the Safe Activity you choose is something your partner will truly enjoy, otherwise you’ll be working against each other instead of together.

With the element of sexy surprise built into many couples card games, it’s good to be proactive before you start getting hot and heavy.

Step 4: Increase the Intensity and Test the Limit

As mentioned before, the Naughty Game has five categories. As you make your way up to the spicier categories, you and your partner will either agree that there’s a limit and stop there, or get adventurous and reach the naughty apex of this bedroom game: the Wild Cards.

Just remember to work slowly towards increasing the intensity of your touch, pausing if either one of you feels uncomfortable with any activity. Don't push yourselves too hard or too fast – being patient is incredibly important (and sexy) here!

While playing the game, take mental notes about what you enjoyed, what your partner enjoyed, and what neither of you was interested in doing. Only by experimenting and trying new things will you be able to truly understand your preferences, strengthening your bond as a couple in the process.

Step 5. After the Game – Reflect and Start Again

When the game is finished, think about all the things you enjoyed. When your emotions are still high, have a conversation with your partner and talk about your experience.

Maybe you’d like to up the ante in your next Naughty Game session? Maybe there were some cards you were afraid to try, but that you now feel ready for. Share your takeaways and be enlightened!

If you thought the Wild Cards (the Naughtiest Category) were fun and want to up the sexy with a different, more risque couples card game, check out the Kinky Game, or our most extreme game yet, the Kinky Challenges.

And, when you’re ready – start another round!

The Naughty Game allows you to set the pace, so it doesn't have to get intense unless you want it to. If you feel things are getting too spicy, it's always a good idea to pause, reflect on what feels good, and openly communicate with your partner. The goal is to have fun, explore, and grow together—so take your time and only move forward when you both feel comfortable.
