15 Sexy Date Ideas to Explore With Your Partner

Fill the tub with bubbles, essential oils, and bath salts. Maybe even throw some rose petals in there. Light some candles, grab a couple glasses of wine, and soak up the romantic atmosphere for the sexiest, kinkiest date idea.

Strip poker, adult card games, sexy truth or dare? The possibilities are endless. The best part is, with these sex games for couples, no one really "loses" during this sexy date night.

It's like paint night, except instead of using canvases, you use each other's bodies. This kinky date idea is a great way to get intimate in a really tantalizing way — just relax and follow wherever your creative (and sexy) intuitions take you.

Bake a dessert like the famous cookie dough croissant, but maybe do it in the nude? The options for what to make are endless, whatever you and your partner are in the mood for. Not only do you get some quality time with your partner with this sexy date idea, but you also get to eat a delicious something afterward, too. Don't forget to use the frosting however you please. (And even if you keep your clothes on, working with sweet, sticky stuff if sensual enough as is.)

Pretending you're strangers meeting at a bar is super hot — especially if you've been out of the singles game for a while. You can be literally anyone — a curious divorcee and a heartless oil baron, a hot professor and a delinquent student, a determined lawyer and a hard-nosed judge. The role-play fantasy ideas are endless with this kinky date idea.

Watching porn with your partner is a great way to spice up your relationship. But if that feels like too much, turn on a sexy Netflix show or an NC-17 movie instead. Enjoy the quality time with your partner, and maybe try to emulate one of the sex scenes with them, too. This sexy date idea will 1000 percent leave you both hot and bothered.

For this sexy date idea, light a candle, grab some scented massage oil, and take turns rubbing each other down. (And up and all around.) This idea helps you tune into all the senses, not just touch!

For this sexy date idea, do a little smooching inside a parked car, on a dark side street, in the back of the subway, or in an empty aisle of the grocery store late at night — there's really no need to be picky. The thrill of getting caught will make you feel like horny high schoolers again. But keep it PG until you're somewhere truly private so you don't involve non-consenting bystanders in your intimate time.

A hot shower is a perfect sexy date activity. Play some soft, sultry songs in the background, and prepare to get clean...or dirty. Bonus points if you have a removable shower head and you know how to use it. (And extra, extra bonus points if it's a shower head specifically designed for masturbating.)

Strip clubs aren't just for bachelor/ette parties. Don your sexiest little number and head to a local strip club for a sexy date night. Whether or not you snag a few lap dances (if you want one, go for it!) just the experience of being in such a sexy environment together is sure to have you and your partner hot for each other by the end of the night. Just don't forget your manners (or your wallet).

For the athletically inclined, exercising together can be a super arousing date idea. Pick a workout that you'll both enjoy and then go to town. All that sweat and those endorphins should have you feeling horny in no time.

Choose a work day that won't be cramped with meetings and reports, and book an hour at a nearby hotel for a kinky date idea. The urgency and the secrecy will make the experience feel like a very naughty affair, without the risk of actually blowing up someone's marriage! Win-win.

If having a threesome is something you and your partner have talked about exploring, finally pulling the trigger and actually going on a date with a third person will feel incredibly sexy. If no one immediately jumps to mind, dating apps like Feeld are a good place to start your search for a new person to potentially join your dynamic, either just for a dinner, a sleepover, or maybe for something more long-term.

Wine tastings are super sexy — all that inhaling and swishing and those tipsy giggles. Either opt for an event somewhere in your neighborhood, or throw your own little sexy tasting at home. Snag a couple bottles you've never tried before, throw together a cheese board, and set up show in the comfort of your own living room. To up the ante, make your private wine event nude-friendly.
