GAMES FOR BORED COUPLES – THERAPY FOR COUPLES
It can take months—even years—of therapy for such couples to break through these resistances. However, through erotic games, the wishes, fantasies, and feelings will often be prodded loose rather more swiftly as a by-product of play. The spontaneity associated with sexual play undermines rigid character defenses and hastens confrontations that would otherwise continue to fester.
Following are five games to be used by bored couples. Games 1 and 2, “Seduction Surprise (by the Wife)” and “Seduction Surprise (by the Husband),” are variations of the same game. These would be excellent starting games for the husband and wife described above. Which game should be played first depends upon who is “boring” and who is “bored.” In the case just discussed, it would probably be the husband who would be the game activist, since he would feel most sexually deprived and therefore eager to try something new. In cases where it is the wife who is feeling frustrated sexually (or otherwise), and therefore most bored, she would be the game activist.
