Sex: Reference to Go

Spicing Up Your Love Life

Sex is an important part of life. Let’s face it— none of us would be here without it. However, most couples make love in only three positions: man on top, woman on top, and doggie style. The average person has sex over 100 times a year, so—given that most people lose their virginity when they’re around eighteen, and are sexually active until well into old age—that’s thousands of times during our lives. Why stick with the same few positions when there are so many out there to try?

TRY SOMETHING NEW

Experimenting with different positions is a great way to add some spice to your love life, whether you’re with a new partner or are in a long-term relationship. And it’s not just about adding excitement. Different positions stimulate different parts of the body. Only 25 percent of women regularly achieve orgasm through penetration alone, but using positions that allow stimulation of the clitoris, G-spot, or both during sex can help women reach climax more easily.

Some positions can help make a man seem bigger; others make things more comfortable for the woman if the man is extremely well-endowed. Certain positions are great to help tighten or loosen a woman’s vagina. And whether you like deep penetration or prefer something gentler, there are endless positions from which to choose.

Don’t forget that sex isn’t just about the genitals; some positions allow greater access to the breasts, back, neck, shoulders, feet, or numerous other erogenous zones. Maybe you want a position that offers lots of scope for dual stimulation? You’ll find several in this deck. Feeling romantic? Try the positions that allow for lots of eye contact. And if you’re feeling athletic, have a go at the more adventurous positions that may well qualify you for the sexual Olympics!

Perhaps you’re looking for a comfortable way to have sex during pregnancy? Or maybe one of you suffers from back problems and you need some ideas as to the easiest ways to have sex. A new position could well be the answer.

Given the impact that trying a few different positions can have on your sex life, it’s no wonder that sexual positions have intrigued people throughout history. Books like the Kama Sutra and The Perfumed Garden and Japanese pillow books were created to help people enhance their relationships and prevent the sexual tedium that can sometimes set in when people have been together for a long time. While exotic names like Unicorn’s Horn, Splitting of a Bamboo, and Rainbow Arch may sound evocative, they don’t give much of a clue as to what you’re actually supposed to do. That’s where this book can help.

THE POSITIONS

Each position is clearly explained in detail. There’s information for both sexes on what each position has to offer, as well as suggested variations to try where applicable. Each position also carries a note of caution so you can gauge whether it’s a suitable one for you to try; always read this before you attempt a position.

All the positions are illustrated to give you something to aim toward—and an excuse to get the mirror out. And there’s an effort scale from 1 to 5 to give you an idea of the level of difficulty involved in achieving a position—so you can decide how active you’re feeling before you start!

The book is divided into four sections: man on top, woman on top, sitting and standing, and from behind. The positions are numbered for ease of reference, as well as to give you a variety of options on how to use them (see list of suggestions following).
