5 Anniversary gifts for gamer boyfriend

Is your guy always on his phone, in front of his game console, or asking you to try a new board game with him? Bring these games into the bedroom to spice up your love life and celebrate your first anniversary.

1. The Box of Burning Desires - This game is sure to get your gamer guy excited. Each card has a s*xual act designated for a man or a woman to do. There are two for each act, meaning each person has to give and receive. Both players ultimately win this game if you play it right.

2. Love Battleship - Add a bit of lust to this classic nostalgic game. This game combines the classic premise of the battleship game with steamy cards that distract you from the board.

3. New Headset - Every gamer boyfriend needs a high-quality headset to stay connected with his gamer friends. Hey, maybe you can find a use for it in the bedroom as well.

4. Love Matching Game - Similar to the sex memory game, you’ll draw cards and do the acts mentioned on the card. This is a matching game, so for every act, there will be two cards, meaning each partner has to give and receive pleasure. This card game is a bit tamer than the sex memory game, but still a great time. Choosing between the two can depend on how comfortable sexually you are with your partner.

5. Accessories - Accessories, like handcuffs, blindfolds, and other kinky toys are a great addition to give along with any of the games listed above. Some of the games may even ask you to bring out these items (as an optional way to spice up the game) so it’s good to have them on hand.
