If you’re looking for inspiration, you’re in the right place. Buckle up, because we’ve got 35 exciting ideas to keep things fresh between the sheets (and beyond).

Why Spicing Up Your Sex Life Matters

It’s no secret that intimacy plays a crucial role in long-term relationship happiness. Studies have shown that couples who actively invest in their physical connection experience stronger emotional bonds, better communication, and greater overall satisfaction in their relationships. And yet, life has a sneaky way of turning passionate nights into exhausted head-hits-the-pillow moments.

Research even suggests that sexual dissatisfaction is one of the top contributors to divorce, often cited as a key factor in relationship breakdowns. In other words? Keeping the fire alive isn’t just fun, it’s essential.

But let’s be clear: spicing things up doesn’t mean turning your bedroom into a Cirque du Soleil stage overnight. It’s about small, playful steps that make intimacy exciting, meaningful, and most importantly, fun for both of you. And we’re here to help every step of the way.

35 New Things to Try in the Bedroom (That Aren’t Just the Same Old Advice)

Start With Us - The Twosome Project!

Let’s start with the easiest, most fun way to break the monotony: our signature games. These have been designed to inject excitement, challenge you both, and bring an element of delightful surprise back into your relationship.

1. The Twosome Project Scratch-Off Poster Game

Our sex poster game (The viral couples game) gives you 72 steamy challenges waiting to be uncovered. Think of it as an adventure map for your love life. Scratch off a challenge, complete it together, and rediscover the excitement of exploring each other in new ways.

2. The Tease Tower™ (Naughty Jenga for Couples)

Enter our famous tease tower. Our spicy jenga game where each block you pull reveals a spicy, cheeky task. Will it be a teasing challenge? A daring move? You won’t know until you play.

Playful and Sensory Ideas

3. Roleplay Night

Pick a scenario, dress up (or down), and step into character. Try everything from classic teacher-student dynamics to full-on fantasy roles like a mysterious stranger at the bar or a daring detective uncovering secrets. Let the story unfold naturally and see where it takes you.

4. Blindfolded Touch & Guess

One of you is blindfolded while the other teases with different sensations—think silk, feathers, or even an ice cube. The element of surprise heightens sensitivity and builds anticipation.

5. Temperature Play

Introduce ice cubes for a tantalizing chill or warm massage oils to bring a soothing heat. The contrast in temperatures can heighten arousal and create a new layer of intimacy.

6. Sensual Scavenger Hunt

Leave a trail of clues around your home, each leading to a new intimate surprise. Maybe one clue leads to a candlelit massage, another to a sultry dance, and the grand prize? That’s entirely up to you.

7. Love Letter Striptease

Write a love letter or a flirty note to each other and read them aloud while slowly undressing. This playful mix of emotional and physical intimacy adds an exciting element to your connection.

8. Glow-in-the-Dark Paint Fun

Use body-safe, glow-in-the-dark paint to decorate each other’s skin, then turn off the lights and admire your artwork before washing it off one another.

9. Massage with a Twist

Elevate a regular massage with added sensory elements, such as whispers, hot breath, or tickling sensations. Try making it a game where the person receiving the massage gives feedback only through body language.

10. Switch Control for a Night

One partner takes full control while the other surrenders to the experience. Whether it's a sensual surprise or a playful challenge, this allows both of you to explore new dynamics. Discuss boundaries beforehand to ensure comfort and trust.

Expanding Beyond the Bedroom

21. Cook Dinner in Lingerie (or Nothing)

Cooking together can be a fun bonding activity, but add a sexy twist by dressing down (or not at all).

22. Watch an Erotic Movie Together

Choose a steamy movie and use it as inspiration for later. Discuss what turns you both on.

23. Take a Bath Together

Add some candles, a bath bomb, and soft music to create an intimate atmosphere.

New sheets, new lighting, and a little redecoration can bring a fresh energy to your intimate space.

Write down things you’d love to try, things you’re unsure about, and definite boundaries.

27. Public Flirting

Tease each other subtly in public—whisper a naughty secret, give a lingering touch, or send flirty texts.

28. Write Each Other a Fantasy to Fulfill

Exchange notes with detailed fantasies and then bring them to life together.

29. Turn Off the Lights for a Night

Experience each other without visual cues, relying solely on touch and sound.

Use chocolate, whipped cream, or honey for a deliciously playful experience.
