Variety can be the spice of intercourse

Recovery from alcoholism, addiction, gambling or co-dependency is common for people in their forth decade. Often sexuality in relationships has been absent or troubled. This may be true for straight, gays or lesbians.

Too many men and women in long-term relationships lament that “the thrill is gone” but often don’t understand why. Some blame themselves or their partners or tell themselves that sexual boredom is as inevitable a part of growing older as wrinkles and reading glasses. It doesn’t have to be that way. And here’s why: To coin a cliché, variety can be the spice of intercourse.

There are many kinds of sex play, but here let’s consider intercourse and different ways to do it — that is, experiment with positions. This doesn’t men you and your partner have to become gymnasts. In fact, some of the most satisfying positions are as easy on the body as they are pleasurable.

The following guide looks at some positions for sexual intercourse, including variations. For instance, you may find that even the tried-and-true missionary position takes on new excitement when you experiment with variations as simple as altering the position of your legs or torso. As you and your partner experiment, tell each other what feels good and what doesn’t. Be honest, be sincere, and be open. Above all, enjoy.

 

Some of the positions to try are;

  • The Missionary Position
  • Woman Dominant
  • The X Position
  • “Spooning”
  • Sideways
  • Lap Dancing
  • “Doggie-Style”

For most couples, penis-in-vagina intercourse is a sexual staple: the “main course” in their erotic menu. As you experiment with different sexual entrees, you may just find you have more of an appetite than ever.

Above all – Enjoy!
