I'm of the belief that laughter and lightheartedness should permeate every area of my life — sex life included. That doesn't necessarily mean it should be haphazard, of course, but if you can't laugh when you experience an accidental lube-induced elbow to the head, some hot sex games that build intimacy might help to loosen things up a bit, especially if your sex life has been feeling a little rigid or mechanical lately.
The fact of the matter is that sometimes, sex can be a messy, accident-prone activity. The more comfortable you feel with your partner, the more you'll be able to enjoy yourself in spite of the potential awkwardness. After all, when you're not slipping, bumping body parts, or making unintentional weird noises, it can be one of the most passionate things you do with another human being. And thankfully, the internet is filled with tools and toys that effortlessly start the night off in that direction.
Whether you've been with your partner forever or you just got together, these innovative toys and games can help to spice things up and push you out of your comfort zones. They can boost your foreplay, encourage loads of touching, and inspire play like never before, so your intimacy levels might just skyrocket.
