Keeping Your Sex Life Fresh
Chapter 2

For those that do require more diversity in their sex lives, then there are additional ways you can make it a little more exciting. If you normally practice the old standards (the missionary position or woman on top), add some other positions to your repertoire! A popular position with women is the side position, where both partners lie on their side facing each other. Or try the spoon position; with both of you lying on your side with the man's face facing the woman's back, this is a pleasant variant of the former. The rear entry position, or doggy style, is generally a sure-fire turn on for most men as it is visually stimulating. The seated variation, wherein the man is in a sitting position and the woman straddles his lap, facing him is additionally a great diversion from the norm. Many women like this one as they have a lot of control over the tempo and depth of intercourse. Depending on the strength and agility that you both possess, the standing position can also be fun. The man stands up, usually leaning on a wall or otherwise supporting himself, and the woman wraps her legs around his waist and holds on to his shoulders. To achieve this successfully, the woman requires strong legs to keep herself from falling and the man requires a lot of upper body strength to help hold her up. Needless to say, positions such as this one can usually only be kept up for short periods of time. Above are only some of the basic variations to try, but there are dozens more. If you are running short on ideas, try the Kama Sutra for some helpful suggestions.

Perhaps all you need to make your sex more exciting is a new location. If you live together, you probably usually have sex in your bed. Try an alternate location in your house, places like the couch, the bathroom counter, the basement, wherever you want - just make sure the furniture you choose will hold your weight; you wouldn't want your dining room table to collapse! You'll see that just being in a different location will change everything. If you have a couple of extra bucks, rent a hotel room for the weekend! There is nothing like sex in a hotel room to liven things up a bit. Another place that seems to excite most people is the outdoors. Have sex in your backyard, on the beach or at a campground, although if it is winter exercise some caution so that you don't wind up with frostbite! You may additionally wish to mind prying eyes, as a jail cell may not be your idea of a hot variation in your sexual locale repertoire.

Aside from altering what you do and how and where you do it, here are some other suggestions that may help get you out of your current rut:

Try doing some role-playing, pretend that you and your partner are people other than yourselves to act out various scenarios. If you don't usually wear lingerie, surprise your partner with a sexy new bedroom look. Buy some body paint and exercise your creativity using your partner as your canvas. Rent a sexy movie and watch it together in a candle-lit room drinking a bottle of wine. You're only bound by your own imagination.

After being in a relationship for a long period of time, we tend to fall into set behavioural patterns. Although these routines can provide comfort and stability, there are benefits to periodically altering them. Just because you are having sex with the same person for years on end doesn't mean that it has to be predictable. Don't be afraid of a little experimentation, and keep the lines of communication open so that you can convey the things that you'd like to try, or be able to say no if you don't feel particularly comfortable with something. Like any aspect of a relationship, your sex life requires you put some effort into making it new and exciting again. If you are both using your imaginations, there is really no good reason to have anything less than fantastic sex for the rest of your lives together.
