Romantic Games for at Home


Keeping the spark alive in your relationship may take more than just giving flowers and chocolate. When planning a romantic evening at home with your special someone, playing a sexy game could be the right move to spice up your night. You can adjust several traditional games to create sizzle and excitement in your relationship. You can make these games as sweet or as wild as you want.

Truth or Dare
# Truth or Dare is an enjoyable way to get to know your partner more. To play, ask partner to pick truth or dare. If she picks truth, ask your partner a sensual question, which she must answer truthfully. Think of questions that are secretive or meant to seduce your partner. For example, ask questions about favorite memories, past relationships and fantasies. When dare is chosen, give your partner a sexy task, such as giving a massage, kissing or a striptease. This game is simple to play, and with some imagination, it can be as sexual as you want.

Scrabble
# Scrabble is a game that uses letters to create different words. To start, place letter tiles on the board. Each player chooses seven letter tiles. Each partner takes turns creating words. Each word and tile dictates the score and point values. Make your scrabble game sexier by using words that are romantic or create suggestive innuendos. Every sexy word earns 50 points for that player.

Play "Strip Scrabble" with your partner. Each time a player earns 50 points, he or she must remove a layer of clothing. The person with the most clothing still on at the end wins.

Twister
# Twister is not just for kids. Twister offers a lot of contact with your partner's body. Lay the Twister board on the floor. At each turn, the player must spin the wheel and place the corresponding body part on the game board with the matching colored circle. Each player will use a body part until one player is no longer able to hold his position; if he falls, he loses the game. To make the game even sexier, have each player remove a layer of clothing before taking their positions on the game board.

Horny Girl Scout Anyone?

Mind out of the gutter...talking about specialty shot #25 out of sixty offered at the Looney Bin Bar & Grille in Laconia/Weirs Beach.

Located directly across from FunSpot, the Looney Bin, Laconia is a popular stop for bikers cruising the lakes region. It is a bit small inside, may even have to wait to get in during bike week, but there was plenty of room and hospitality during our July trip to the mountains.


Our recent visit found us intrigued with the list of specialty drink shots - list shown below. With names such as 'Moose Fart' and 'Bong Water', it is hard to believe but true that all are real shots pulled from the bartenders mixing guide. Anyone that tries 50 out of the 60 shots will receive a sweatshirt and a special mention on the property website. Not to worry...no one is leaving the bar having done 50 shots! Each visit, patrons are allowed a maximum of five shots and possibly less, at bartenders discretion. There is a card system used to keep track of shots and the duration of the promotion appears to be unlimited. The day we started our shots card, the bartender said it took him five years to fill his up. Basically, it amounts to a $250 sweatshirt as shots are $5 each, but it is fun and who doesn't love a bit of competition among friends. Only managed to knock off three while I was there but my card is filed away with them for my next visit to Laconia.

For those not interested in shots or hard liquor, the Looney Bin, Laconia has a wide selection of draft on tap, as well as a large selection of bottled beers. Food is very reasonably priced with everything under $10. Menu consists mainly of sandwiches, subs and appetizers. They offer many specials throughout the week, which can be found on their website. Currently, they are offering half-price appetizers on Wednesdays. Chicken wings, chicken fingers for less than $4 bucks...can't beat it.
















During warmer months, the outdoor patio is open. Has a few picnic tables and I think an area for smokers.



The Looney Bin, Laconia has easy access, directly off Route 3. Parking is paved and plentiful with an area directly outside the windows for bike parking. Hours are a bit uncertain - we were told if there were less than 5 guests they would close early, which is understandable, so calling ahead is recommended if you are heading there near closing time: 9pm on weekdays and 11pm on weeknights. They will also stay later if they are busy.
