Love – or should we say lust? – is certainly in the air as we gear up to greet Valentine’s Day head-on. While jewellery, flowers, chocolates and dine-at-home dinners are in no short supply, there is something a little sexier hitting the stores, and we’ve found the best ones to buy.
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.
Whether you’re a self-professed freak in the sheets or just looking to spice up your love life, a sex game could be the secret to a raunchy night of romance. And there’s no short supply of options to suit everyone and anyone, no matter if you’re playing with a partner or in a group.
You may not be surprised to learn that you won’t find these on the shelves at Sainsbury’s along with the family-friendly board games – we sourced ours from two fail-safe adult fun stores: Ann Summers and Lovehoney, and it’s safe to say we weren’t disappointed.
Keep reading this article to see which ones we’re dubbing the best, so you can be sure to shop ahead of Valentine’s Day. Enjoy!
