Bedroom Horse Basketball: Sexy Game for Couples
If you or your main squeeze LOVE basketball, you will be pumped for this twist on the classic game of HORSE. It’s a not-so-innocent game, great for an intimate night in! Turn some fun, sporty ball shooting into a strip bedroom game where you and your spouse are BOTH winners. It gets you moving, and REmoving clothes! This sexy game for couples is especially a hit with the hubbies out there. Strap on your Nikes and get ready to swoosh! By the end of the night, you’ll both be saying, “Let’s ‘Just Do It!'” (WINK!)

The printouts for this sexy game for couples were brought to life by the stellar Courtney of Paperelli designs. She seriously brought her A-GAME and we love them! Totally man-approved and not too girly!
Challenge your sweetie to some strip basketball!
Before my hubby got home, I printed out the challenge invitations. I laid them out on the bed with some sporty gear for both of us to suit up in (at least 5 pieces of clothing each), although I knew we wouldn’t be wearing it long! I picked some tight spandex shorts, and a sporty top for me, and made sure to set out his favorite team shirt (Go CHARLOTTE HORNETS!).
Horse Basketball Set Up
Print out the letters of HORSE and set up your basketball hoop in a cleared space of your room! I found that on top of our dresser was the perfect height. You can use a mini kid’s basketball hoop, and if you don’t have a mini basketball hoop, its an easy find on Amazon!
I used our (clean) office trash can, a piece of a cardboard box, and the printable strip horse backboard to make a little DIY hoop as another option. You can download the template at the end of the post if you want to make your own. I picked up the ball at the dollar store!
I grabbed some water bottles and set them out too, in case we got sweaty and thirsty from this intensive bedroom game 😉 It could be fun to grab your sweetie’s favorite flavor of Gatorade for hydration too!
Strip Horse Game Play
After our kids went to bed, the buzzer went off and it was GAME ON! We turned on the “Space Jam” soundtrack for some pump up jams (any 90s kids out there?!).
Here’s a quick refresher on the rules of HORSE:
- One person takes a shot from anywhere in the room. We had fun shooting from silly spots like inside the closet or on the bed (the bed was MY money shot!)
- If the first player makes their shot, the other person must make the exact same shot.
- If the second person misses that same shot, they get a letter of HORSE. The first person to have all the letters of HORSE loses. 🙁
If either of us were to get a letter of HORSE, we would place one of the letter tiles on our side of the dresser. And of course to make it a little more intimate, with each letter we would remove a piece of clothing. Add this fun date idea to your Pinterest board!
Strip Game Timeouts
As a fun twist to the game, use time out cards that you can pull at any time in the strip basketball game! Each spouse gets a 20-second timeout and a 1-minute timeout to use at their discretion. Start the timer and have fun making out, dancing or doing whatever you please (EXCEPT taking off clothes) during your time out!
LOVE this! Such a cute idea!
I think this is the CUTEST idea!! Seriously! How fun! All we need is a dollar store basketball hoop & mini basketball. I am SO heading to the dollar store this week! 🙂
LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! I do not have a hoop but I am going to buy one just for this! Great idea 🙂
Any mini hoop will work! I was even thinking a mini hoop you can hang from the back of your bedroom door! Enjoy 😉
What a fun idea!
Love this idea! Very creative indeed!
Haha! My spouse loves to play NUNO (naked UNO) and each round, the loser removes an article of clothing. Super fun.
NUNO, what a great idea! Sounds like fun!!! Thanks for sharing!
Played this this week and had a blast!
oh my gosh this sounds so fun! my bf will be so surprised!
Another variation would be to use an empty clothes hamper (for those of us without hoops) and any kind of ball ( or other fun item). When you miss the hamper and it’s time to strip a piece of clothing you can just throw it in the hamper! If you make your clothing in the hamper your spouse will have to match you. You could even forget the ball and just use clothing…start with a sock, if you make your right sock in then your spouse must make their right sock in. You could risk larger pieces of clothing, but if you miss when it’s your turn, then your other half gets to keep theirs on!
Totally played this week (used hoop you hang over the door and it worked fine). It was awesome! Added some additional rules (i.e. sensual fouling encouraged) and added a one & two minute time out card for each player for kissing/fondling. My hubby absolutely loved it. Thanks for this brilliant idea!
Strip Horse was hilarious. Hubby loved it. Started big with the pantygram I saw on another post as the invite. I managed to sneak it in the car so he would find it as he left for work. I used an empty tootsie roll canister and taped the panty corner to the lid so as he opened it they slowly rose out of the decorated canister. There was a sexy little note at the end. I used a few other clues/teasers throughout the week with the printables, mini basketball toy, orange tic tacs, and a little drawing I made of some half naked people (stick figure quality). When he called after work I asked him if he was awake and in a good mood. (we had an unfortunate incident with a middle of the night fire drill and were exhausted so I was worried he wouldn’t feel like date night.) but he said, “I’m trying not to speed to get there!” The teasers reallly worked. Had a whole night planned with 4 quarters. 1st quarter – arena style dinner. Chicken strips with honey mustard, boneless BBQ wings, seasoned fries and cokes. 2nd quarter- strip horse with basketball themed playlist. 3rd quarter- two minute warning- a variation of two minutes in heaven with a more seductive playlist, sparkling drinks. 4th quarter- !!!!. Was also planning on a brief half time between strip horse and two minute warning to freshen up before the more hands on game, but we didn’t even make it through the whole second quarter before I was being pulled towards the bedroom. It really was a lot of fun. Can’t wait to try some other dates.
Forgot to mention we didn’t have a basketball hoop but I made a simple backboard (with the red box) and rim out of card stock. Took a few minutes. We used the mini nerd basketball toy I gave him as a teaser.
Wow Heather! You did an amazing job! No wonder your husband enjoyed it! What a great idea to combined different ideas! It makes the date even more extravagant and special! AND all your personal add ons were GREAT! I’m impressed…very diva-ish of you! Glad you enjoyed!
