Some things in life are better on repeat: Friends , perfectly sunny beach days, your trusty white manicure. Your sexcapades, though? Definitely not one of them. Even the hottest spark in the bedroom needs new sex positions to stoke the flames from time to time—otherwise things get boring, fast. In short, your brain craves newness, and especially for women, your brain is very involved in your excitement and satisfaction. Note: While many of these directions reference male partners, these positions can be assumed by just about anyone. Do It: Near the edge of a bed or bench, rest on the hip and forearm of one side and press your thighs together. Your partner stands and straddles you, entering from behind. Why: Keeping your legs pressed together during this sex position allows for a tighter hold on him as he thrusts. Make It Hotter: Instead of letting your partner do all the work, try thrusting your hips slightly to match the tempo.

In other words: Why reinvent the so-called wheel when you can settle into the oh-so-comfortable spoon position, or revert to the position that always, unfailingly gets you off? First of all, you never know where a different-than-normal sex position might lead—and while an orgasm might be one of the lucky results of trying something new, it could also simply be a tantalizing way to build things up; a strategy to keep things fresh with your partner; or an excuse to appreciate all the awesome things our bodies can do. And some are minor twists on classics that are just a good reminder to try every so often. This one is like vagina-owner-on-top, in heterosexual, cis-gendered couples, except with the genders reversed. Great for partners of all genders and orientations , the absolute 69 is a slight variation on the regular 69 in that one partner is directly on top of the other, facedown. Some sources suggest adding digital penetration to the mix to really take things over the top—assuming your partner is down. Lie down on your back and have your partner grab your legs, holding them out in a V-shaped position while kneeling and thrusting. Feeling tired or lazy? Try side to side, which is a slightly more energized and interesting version of spooning.
