Are you game to take on a summer sex bucket list challenge? 

Let’s make this summer your sexiest one yet.

Summer Sex Bucket List Idea #1: Watch A Classic Summer Movie

Let’s kick off our summer sex bucket list ideas with a classic, because what’s summer without a feel-good flick full of wild, head-over-heels love? Inspired by the movie Grease, this date brings summer lovin’ with a spicy twist and a throwback to the bold, buttoned-up charm of the 50s.

Recreate a vintage drive-in vibe with:

• Soft pillows and blankets in the car or on the floor.
• Twinkle lights for a movie theater glow with a touch of romance.
• 1950s sweetheart style snacks like milkshakes, burgers, fries, Coca-Cola, or popcorn.  

Build up the sexy tension between you by assigning flirty dares to certain scenes or quotes. Every time your partner guesses a line right – or wrong – they earn a kiss (or a strip). Or channel your inner Sandy or Danny and take things up a notch with a spicy round of Backseat Bingo while you watch.

Summer Sex Bucket List Idea #2: Sexy Paint Night

This isn’t your average rinse-and-repeat. For your next sex bucket list idea, turn your bathroom into a glow-in-the-dark body art studio – messy, playful, and irresistibly sexy.

Here’s everything you need to pull off this effortlessly steamy bathroom glow-up:

• Glow-in-the-dark body paint or highlighters.
• A blacklight.

Grab a flashlight and take turns turning each other into glowing works of art – think teasing messages, cheeky sketches, or X-marks-the-spot surprises to uncover (and act on). Need some extra-spicy inspo? The Dating Divas’ Black Light Sexy Night is packed with ideas to light things up. Rinse off the fun with a hot shower for two, and let the night take it from there...

Summer Sex Bucket List Idea #3: Go Star Gazing

Ready to make the stars blush? This dreamy date is all about snuggles, signs, and a little heavenly attraction. Add this to your summer sex bucket list ideas for a romantic night that’s equal parts sweet and steamy under the night sky.

For some starlit magic, bring along these items:

• Blankets and pillows (or go luxe and lounge in one of these).
• Thermos of hot cocoa
• Binoculars
• Treat of choice (s'mores are perfect, or be adventurous and try some tempting ideas from this Edible Temptations blog post).

Head out to your backyard or drive out to a quiet spot for stargazing. Bonus points if you print out this handy constellation map  and try to find each other’s zodiac signs. And instead of wishing on a star, write down three “wishes” for the night and take turns making them come true.

 Keep them sexy, playful, or romantic – dealer’s choice.

Mentionables Lingerie Pairing: Eyelash Lace Crotchless Teddy in Navy – dreamy, colored like the night sky, and made for cuddling under the stars.

Summer Sex Bucket List Idea #4: Naughty Game Night

Love a good game night? 

Let’s crank up the heat on a throwback. Twister has always been the ultimate excuse to get tangled up with your crush – and now it’s your turn to play… with a much sexier spin. If you're checking off your sex bucket list ideas, this spicy variation on a favorite game definitely earns a spot.

Dust off your old Twister game – or create your own with colored paper on a white sheet – and get ready to get up close and personal. Upgrade your spinner with sexy challenges for each color and body part. 

Each time you land on a spot, be prepared to take on a spicy little challenge, like:

• Lose a piece of clothing
• Strike a sultry pose
• Ask a spicy truth or dare question

Want it all done for you? Grab the printables and ideas from this ready-made Twister date.

Summer Sex Bucket List Idea #5: Go On A Romantic Summer Picnic

Nothing says summer like a picnic in the sun – but this time, swap soggy sandwiches for serious sparks. With a shady spot, a soft blanket, and a dash of flirtation, these sex bucket list ideas turn your midday snack into a steamy alfresco escape. Ready to spread that blanket and see where it leads? Set up your dreamy picnic in your backyard or a local park. 

Here’s your checklist of what to bring along for a “delightful” afternoon:

• Tasty bites for two + utensils (think fresh salads, sandwiches, juicy fruit, bubbly drinks, and anything else that travels well).
• A soft, snuggle-ready blanket.
• A picnic basket – bonus points if it’s gingham (because we’re not monsters).

But this picnic isn’t just about fresh air and finger foods – it’s a delicious excuse to turn up the intimacy. Blindfold each other for a sensual taste test with strawberries or whipped cream (check out our fave edible temptations here), swap sultry stories, or snap some frisky Polaroids. For extra fun, grab these cute picnic printables and people-watching Bingo game, and let the outdoor mischief begin.

Summer Sex Bucket List Idea #6: Have A Playful Water Balloon Fight

Feeling competitive? 

Get your game faces on and add some splashy fun to your summer sex bucket list ideas with a backyard water balloon fight that’s anything but innocent. Whether you’re aiming for your partner’s heart (or hips), these sexy suggestions are guaranteed to soak your senses and leave you dripping… with anticipation. 

Time to suit up (or strip down) and let the wet and wild battles begin. 

To turn this flirty battle into a full-blown splash fest, grab:

• Water balloons (reusable ones keep the fun going longer).
• Wear something splash-friendly – light fabrics or swimwear that hugs in all the right places and gets a little more revealing with every drop.
• Bonus game gear like a basketball hoop for balloon "Horse" or spoons for a cheeky water-filled relay. Check out this post for ideas on these games and more.

However you choose to play, we suggest adding in this one rule: the loser has to give the winner a massage… wherever you desire.

Mentionables Lingerie Pairing: Lacy Deep Plunge Satin Romper in Mint Julep – light, breathable, and just right for post-splash flirting, or maybe more.

Summer Sex Bucket List Idea #7: Have A Dance Party For Two

Who says the dance floor has to be public? 

Crank up the heat (and the volume) with a living room dance party that’s all yours. Whether you’re bumping to a bass-heavy club beat or swaying slow under the glow of candlelight, this is one of those summer sex bucket list ideas that’s as fun as it is fiery.

Get things started with some sultry tunes – yours or one of our handpicked sexy music playlists (check them out here and here), then dim the lights, and let the music guide you. 

To liven things up even more, try a few of these ideas:

• Give a private lap dance.
• Recreate your favorite music video moves.
• Turn things into a sexy strip tease contest. 
• With every new song, switch roles – alternate who leads the dance and who gets to sit back and enjoy the “show”.

We bet by the time the music stops, you might not even make it to the bedroom.

Mentionable Lingerie Pairing: Satin & Lace Inset Slip in Lemon Chiffon – flowy, flirty, and made to move.

Summer Sex Bucket List Idea #8: Plan A Summer Cooking Date 

Forget takeout – tonight’s menu calls for something a whole lot steamier. Using The Dating Divas' sexy “Sexipes” book (think recipes with a naughty twist), you’ll follow flirty prompts, spicy challenges, and intimate instructions that’ll leave you both hot and hungry. From blindfolded ingredient guessing games to “naked apron only” dress codes, this is one of those sex bucket list ideas that blends playfulness, passion, and a little delicious chaos.

Consider this your appetizer – try these steamy kitchen ideas on your own or straight from the ‘sexipe’ cards”:

• Play “guess the ingredient” while blindfolded – winner gets a kiss (or something steamier).
• Assign a sexy action to each course: a massage for the appetizer, a strip tease for the entrée, and dessert… well, you can imagine.
• Feed each other bites while sharing a few spicy fantasies.
• Cook in lingerie or aprons – and nothing else.
• Use whipped cream or melted chocolate for some sensual "taste testing" once the meal’s done.

Ready to turn up the heat? This is one sex bucket list idea that’ll leave the kitchen (and you) deliciously undone.
