Food & Body Play
Food play is exactly what it sounds like — bringing a little taste, sweetness, and playful mess into your intimacy. It’s lighthearted by nature, which makes it a wonderful way to laugh together and take the seriousness out of the bedroom. A shared dessert can become foreplay, and a couple of pantry staples can turn an ordinary night deliciously fun.
The one rule that keeps it fun
Keep sugary foods on the skin, never inside the body — sugar in or near the vagina is a fast track to a yeast infection. Food play means feeding each other and licking treats off safe areas like the lips, neck, chest, and stomach. A quick prayer together beforehand keeps God at the center of your marriage, right where He belongs.
Ways to play
- Feed each other slowly. Strawberries, chocolate, a spoon of something sweet — the unhurried, sensual act of feeding your spouse is half the fun.
- Drizzle and lick. A little chocolate syrup or whipped cream on the chest or stomach, enjoyed slowly, is a classic for a reason.
- Make a game of it. Blindfold your spouse and have them guess each taste (see our sensory play guide).
What to reach for — and what to skip
Chocolate syrup, whipped cream, honey, and fruit are all fun on the skin. Steer clear of anything spicy, minty, or acidic near sensitive areas (it can burn or irritate), and keep all sugary foods external. Lay down a towel or an old sheet first — food play is happily messy, and you’ll enjoy it more without worrying about the bedding.
Body paint & markers
For a more artistic, laughter-filled kind of play, skin-safe or edible body paints and markers let you write sweet, silly, or flirty messages on each other. It’s a wonderfully disarming way to be playful and close — and turning your spouse into a canvas tends to end in giggles. Use only products made for skin, and wash everything off afterward.
Cleanup is part of the fun
All of this pairs perfectly with a warm shower together afterward — washing each other clean becomes its own tender, sensual finish to the evening.
What it does for your marriage
Play and laughter are the quiet glue of a happy marriage, and food play delivers both in abundance. It’s a reminder that intimacy doesn’t have to be serious to be meaningful — sometimes the closest moments are the messy, giggling ones.
Edible body paints, kissable lotions, and playful treats are available at our sister store, Romantic Blessings.
