If you're in a relationship, it's easy to get stuck in the same old routine when it comes to what you do together as a couple. Stuck on the sofa binge-watching Netflix or ordering in the same old takeaway? Then it's time to add some new couple activities to your list. Here are our top 10 things to do as a couple, and the best part is you don't even need to leave your house.

The best activities to do as a couple

1. Play games

No, we don't just mean Scrabble (though don't underestimate how fun it can be). There are a whole bunch of games to play as a couple that can also work wonders for your relationship. Try some sexy board games, like Monogamy, where each tile represents a different sex act, or erotic Truth or Dare.

Drinking games also never fail to be fun. You can try an existing classic or just make up your own based on pretty much any film or TV show, e.g. "drink when so-and-so says this."

Video games can also mean hours of endless fun. If you fancy being competitive, play against each other. Or if you want to strengthen your bond as a team, try a game where you work together.

2. Tick things off your sexual bucket list

There is never a bad time to improve your sex life. Sit down together and talk about any sex resolutions you want to make as a couple, or come up with a sexual bucket list to work your way down.

If you fancy trying something new, delving into the world of kinky sex with your partner, or trying bondage or breath play can be a great place to start. Just make sure you have a full conversation about boundaries and safety, obvs.

3. Try new sex positions

If you think you've tried every sex position ever, we promise you haven't. There is always something new to try, whether you want to be in control, work your way through the Kama Sutra, or incorporate new toys.

And if you want to change things up even more, try having sex in new rooms in the house. Nowhere is off-limits, even the garden.

4. Test out some new sex toys

Potentially even more fun than a board game, get your hands on some new sex toys to use with your partner. Whether it's a cock ring, a masturbation sleeve for a next-level hand job, or an internal couple's vibrator to use during sex, you won't be disappointed.

5. Give each other a massage

Show your partner how much you appreciate them, by treating them to a massage. You can keep it strictly PG, or try out an erotic massage. If your partner has a penis, you can try the Tantric practice of lingam massage, and if your partner has a vulva then treat them to a yoni massage.

6. Ask each other deep questions

Get to know your partner better, by sitting down and quizzing each other. Try asking the 36 questions to fall in love, invented by a psychologist to supposedly make any two people fall for each other.

Or if that's too heavy, try asking them general questions about their childhood and goals for the future. You'll probably learn something new. And if you want to improve your relationship, ask each other how you can do it.

7. Write each other a love poem

If you're bored of sending each other the same old heart emojis, mix things up and write each other a love poem. Getting your creative juices flowing can be hard, so if you're not up to Shakespeare standard just yet, send them a cute love poem by somebody else. They'll appreciate it just as much.

8. Listen to some audio porn together

Listening to audio erotica together can be a great way to get you both in the mood. Plenty of sex apps have audio porn stories you can listen to, as well as guides to new things to try in the bedroom.

9. Do chores together

It might not sound particularly sexy, but doing chores together can make them more fun and bring you closer together. Try cooking some new recipes together, cleaning and tidying Marie Kondo-style, or even master that DIY project you've been putting off.

10. Put on an at-home date

You don't need to leave the house or spend money to have a cute date. Create an at-home restaurant in your kitchen and treat each other to a nice meal, do your bathroom up as a home spa, or put on a picnic in your living room. The options are endless.
