Trying out different ~moves~ can also work wonders for your relationship. "One significant challenge to intimacy is the loss of novelty in the bedroom," says Shawntres Parks, PhD, LMFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist in San Diego. Exploration between the sheets amps up emotional intimacy and encourages partners to take risks and grow together. New sex positions will encourage vulnerability with one another in—and outside of—the bedroom. And in the end, you’ll find your relationship injected with an extra dose of trust. There’s no wrong way to self-pleasure! But if you need a little creative jolt, you might try one of these positions. Apte, Vaman Shivram (1965).

This romantic and intimate position will really make you sweat on a hot summer afternoon. The penetrating partner kneels down (think marriage proposal position) while the receiving partner straddles them to bounce and grind away. You’ll get plenty of kissing and eye-gazing to make it super pleasurable. Doggy style is a classic for a reason! Bestial and intense, there are a lot of modifications to give the giver and reciever something they’ll enjoy. Entry from behind and the openness of the hips give a good shot at G-spot penetration. The penetrating partner is standing or kneeling with their hands free to roam, grope, and grip to their heart’s content. Vatsyayana; SC Upadhyaya (transl) (1965).

Entering into the kinky portion of our list, Hands Behind Ankles is a position that requires a comfortable pair of cuffs, a good deal of flexibility, and some pre-game discussion. Make sure the partner being cuffed is comfortable, sort out safe words (a red, yellow, green stoplight system is cool but stopping when you hear “stop” is always a good place to start, NGL) and plan out some cozy aftercare.

Kissing, where to kiss and how, teasing each other and games, signals and hints for the other person, cleanliness, taking care of teeth, hair, body, nails, physical non-sexual forms of intimacy (scratching, poking, biting, slapping, holding her) Mixing things up keeps “me time” interesting. For Opening Up, sit on a chair with your ankles wound around the legs, opening up your legs and slipping a hand in between. Bracing your legs against the chair gives you plenty of leverage and support as you experience some new, spine-tingling sensations.

In 1961, S. C. Upadhyaya published his translation as the Kamasutra of Vatsyayana: Complete Translation from the Original. [102] According to Jyoti Puri, it is considered among the best-known scholarly English-language translations of the Kamasutra in post-independent India. [103] The giver should kneel on the ground so that the receiver’s genitals are at eye level. (If this isn’t comfortable for the giver, another option is to sit beside them on the same or a second seat). Keeping beach sex under wraps can make it even hotter. Doing it under a blanket is best if you try a simple but sexy spooning position and wrap your arms around each other. Just remember to wait until the beach clears out for the day! Puri, Jyoti (2002).

The Layer Cake is an intimate grinding move allows for maximum clitoral stimulation, and believe us, you’ll see why. The receiving partner can lie flat on top, either facing towards or away from the penetrating partner (both are equally fun), and grasp the edge of the bed to get some friction going. And this position is nothing if not versatile! The penetrating partner can also be on top, using their arms to pump and grind.

Any pregnant woman will appreciate the Rear-Entry Side Position, a nice relaxing way to have a roll in the hay. It’s also just one of the snuggliest positions around for all kinds of bodies — and excellent for morning sex. Have the penetrating partner enter from behind and snuggle up close with your knees touching, with your hands free to hold one another or play with other erogenous areas along the way. Your weight can mostly held by your knees and thighs, so don’t get too wound up about “crushing” your partner — just make sure they feel comfortable communicating how much pressure is good from you on top! The giver should apply some lube to their finger as well as to their honey’s hole. Then, they can experiment with circling the entrance of the hole with their finger or palm or pressing into the hole with a finger or multiple fingers. The Hindu tradition has the concept of the Purusharthas which outlines "four main goals of life".
