Sexual variety is key to a thriving relationship, and during stressful times, our desire for new experiences tends to grow. That’s why having a solid collection of sex positions to draw from (both figuratively and literally) is so important.
“When we’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed, it’s easy for our minds to drift away from the moment, making it harder to experience desire,” says Dr. Kate Larson, a licensed psychologist and expert in sexual wellness. “Introducing something new into your sex life can help you stay present, boosting both sexual arousal and connection with your partner.”
The good news? Adding variety to your intimate life doesn’t have to be complicated, even in long-term relationships. Trying out different sex positions is one of the simplest ways to shake things up.
“One of the best things about sex is that we can always find new ways to enjoy it, no matter how much experience we already have,” says sex therapist John Carter. “Exploring new positions can bring a sense of playfulness and excitement back into your routine.”
And to make things easier for you, we’ve compiled a list of 56 exciting sex positions for you to try.
