When it comes to sex positions, you might have a few favourites that you rely on, from the standard (hello, missionary) to the more unique (like the pinball wizard). But, as with all things, variety can bring something fresh and exciting to your bedroom endeavours: making you more likely to be up for the next session, and all of its attendant benefits (think: stress relief, the rush of feel-good hormones and feeling more tightly bonded with your partner.)

Fancy mixing it up a bit? Try any - or all - of these orgasm-inducing positions, guaranteed to make your next session a whole lot more exciting. Oh and apologies in advance for the puns...

(Note: While many of these directions reference partners who have a penis, most of these positions can be assumed by just about anyone in possession of a vibrator or dildo.)

1

The Wheelbarrow

Finger, Human leg, Tennis racket, Elbow, Sports equipment, Standing, Racketlon, Soft tennis, Racket, Playing sports,

Warning: Do not try this after an intense arm workout, your triceps might not be able to take it. The wheelbarrow is definitely not meant for a quickie.

Still up for it? Read up on this position before giving it a whirl.

2

Doggy Style

human leg, elbow, wrist, knee, playing sports, chest, physical fitness, calf, thigh, exercise,

Doggy style is a classic - you go on all fours and your partner does all the work. Not to mention it is one of the best positions for G-spot stimulation, and there is zero chance of getting a drop of sweat straight in the eye.

Before you get going, paws for a moment (just could not resist) and read the full guide on doggy style.

3

The X Factor

Elbow, Knee, Calf, Stretching, Illustration, Active pants, Holding hands, Balance, Graphics, Hip,

Think the missionary position with a twist. Literally. The only advice we give is do not, repeat do not think of X Factor judges naked at any point during this, it will be ruined. Forever.

Before you decide if this position is more Jedward rather than Olly Murs, read how to embrace the sex factor.

The Face-Off

Shoulder, Elbow, Human leg, Knee, Sitting, Wrist, Aqua, Calf, Physical fitness, Animation,

Let's face it, not all of us are up for locking eyes the entire way through a session.

But for couples who love the intimacy that comes with eye contact, this one is for you.

Read our tips on lying back and lock eyes.

5

The Cowboy

Elbow, Knee, Playing sports, Physical fitness, Exercise, Active pants, Ball, Stretching, Racket, Illustration,

What's mine is yours, what's yours is mine. One for all and all for one. It is not uncommon that one member is more satisfied than the other when it comes to the party down under, but this position promises equal pleasure. Nice to do things together, is it not?

To make sure you both enjoy your evening, tame your cowboy.

6

The Leap Frog

Human leg, Elbow, Knee, Wrist, Sitting, Physical fitness, Thigh, Waist, Calf, Foot,

The Leap Frog is a great position to try out some (gentle) spanking. Not to mention you get to rest your head and arms on a pillow while your partner does all the hard graft.

Find out if this position is for you or if it is best left to the amphibians.

The Reverse Cowgirl

Sports equipment, Elbow, Playing sports, Oar, Ball, Paddle, Knee, Ball game, Boats and boating--Equipment and supplies, Individual sports,

In a nice way of course. Not everyone pulls the most attractive of facial expressions throughout the act of love making, so this is the perfect position to just let yourself go.

If you are not so confident about your O face, or theirs can be a turn off, give this position a whirl.

8

The Spread Eagle

elbow, human leg, wrist, knee, exercise, physical fitness, back, foot, calf, illustration,

Sometimes exercise classes can be a drag, but with this you can skip your usual yoga flow as you are sure to get all the stretching you need - plus, some deep penetration.

Test out your flexibility with this hot position.

9

The Belly Down

Shoulder, Elbow, Human leg, Wrist, Knee, Chest, Waist, Aqua, Thigh, Barefoot,

It's not selfish to satisfy yourself first - and no one's saying your partner can't watch from the sidelines.

This self-lovin technique could reinvent your relationship.

The Champagne Room

Human leg, Elbow, Knee, Sitting, Thigh, Waist, Physical fitness, Exercise, Hip, Back,

The magic of this one is its versatility. Forget the bed, try it on a chair, the edge of the bath or even on the stairs - lack of household company permitting, of course.

Please your partner with this ever so sophisticated position.

11

The Notebook

Human leg, Knee, Teal, Calf, Animation, Illustration, Ankle, Graphics, Balance, Physical fitness,

It is probably best that the rest of your street does not know about it, but you can imitate Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling The Notebook. You know what scene we are talking about...

Make movie magic come to life with this technique, but make sure you do not accidentally call your man Noah. That could get awkward.

12

The Couch Grind

Human leg, Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, Knee, Calf, Physical fitness, Teal, Back, Waist,

You won't even have to leave the room or turn off Netflix, but you should probably put down the remote and draw the curtains.

To see if this position sits well with you, ditch the snacks and put the durability of your sofa to the test.

Get to the G-Spot

Elbow, Tan, Teal, Peach, Illustration, Graphics, Painting, Stomach, Drawing, Clip art,

It goes without saying that this is one for the ladies only. But if your partner doesn't fall into that category, they're always welcome to watch...

Try out this self-lovin, satisfying technique for a night neither of you will forget in a hurry.

14

The Scoop Me Up

Elbow, Wrist, Knee, Waist, Physical fitness, Abdomen, Exercise, Illustration, Painting, Ankle,

We all know how this one goes. One of you is lying comfortably, while the other has a dead arm and a face full of hair.

You might just find out exactly what spooning leads to when you try this intimate position.

15

The Golden Arch

Elbow, Exercise, Knee, Physical fitness, Sitting, Yoga, Active pants, Stretching, Pilates, Abdomen,

It is time to show off what those long, hard gym sessions have earnt you. This position lets both of you admire each others bodies with a full view.

This position probably won't be the best one to try after lots of wine. There will be injuries.

Cowgirl's Helper

Elbow, Human leg, Wrist, Knee, Sitting, Playing sports, Back, Physical fitness, Ball, Waist,

Very similar to the cowgirl, but this time it's your partner's turn to take some of the work. After all, who has time (/muscle strength) for that?

Suggest this position to take the strain away from your poor aching legs and (obviously) toned bum.

17

The G-Whiz

Finger, Elbow, Teal, Graphics, Illustration, Clip art, Drawing, Balance,

Honestly, you might warn to warn them in advance if you are going to try this one.

Try this position to find out if it will make you say a bit more than just gee whiz.

18

The Pretzel

Elbow, Human leg, Knee, Wrist, Waist, Active pants, Physical fitness, Stretching, Exercise, Graphics,

All you have to do is lie there, again. Another one for those who prefer their partner to put most of the sweat in...

Find out if this position is sweet enough to sink your teeth into.

The Ballet Dancer
