"Anytime you introduce something fresh and novel into the bedroom, you set yourself up for a more stimulating experience and bigger finish," says <a href="https://vmtherapy.com/" id="bd19a9d4-c92c-3e98-a511-57240014af1f"> Vanessa Marin </a> , a licensed sex therapist in L.A. In short, your brain craves newness, and especially for women, your brain is very involved in your excitement and satisfaction.

But...where to begin? How about with any of these 46 <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex/" id="c9b52fd3-77c5-393b-a09a-08ecd0fa6236"> orgasm </a> -inducing positions that'll blow you and your partner's d*mn mind.

(Note: While many of these directions reference male partners, these positions can be assumed by just about anyone.)

46 Sex Positions Everyone Should Try At Least Once

Do It: Near the edge of a bed or bench, rest on the hip and forearm of one side and press your thighs together. Your partner stands and straddles you, entering from behind.

Why: Keeping your legs pressed together during this sex position allows for a tighter hold on him as he thrusts.

Make It Hotter: Instead of letting your partner do all the work, try thrusting your hips slightly to match the tempo.

Do It: Your partner sits on a chair or the edge of the bed; you face him, seated on his lap.

Why: During this sex position, youre in control of the angle and depth of the entry and thrust. Being seated adds support, so its great for marathon sex sessions.

Make It Hotter: Let your fingers (and hands) do the talking. Once seated, you can put your hands anywhere on your body or your partner's to make things more interesting.

Do It: Get on all fours, then have your partner kneel behind you, with his upper body straight up or slightly draped over you (ya know, like a humping dog).

Why: This sex position allows for deep penetration and easier <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19927155/how-to-find-your-own-g-spot/" id="b0517db7-1bf2-32e4-afeb-0146912ea1f4"> G-spot </a> stimulation.

Make It Hotter: Stimulate your clitoris with one hand, or ask your partner to do the finger work for you.

Do It: Lie on your right side; your partner kneels, straddling your right leg and curling your left leg around his left side.

Why: With this sex position, you get the deeper penetration of <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19920176/doggy-style/" id="1cf90224-80f5-3527-a7dd-a78a92e0771f"> doggy style </a> while still being able to make that important eye contact.

Make It Hotter: Get your partner to rub your clit. Because, duh.

Do It: Lie facedown on the bed, legs straight, hips slightly raised.

Why: This sex position creates a snug fit, so your partner's <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19942368/penis-facts/" id="71c8c4da-069e-34b3-a5d2-1a6d8213a65c"> penis </a> will seem even larger.

Make It Hotter: Some shallow thrusts and deep breathing will help the romp last longer.

Do It: Lie back with your legs resting on each of your partner's shoulders.

Why: This sex position is awesome because when you raise your legs, it narrows the <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a19988510/healthy-vagina/" id="b7c7126d-78f6-3084-a2ce-a8fe7ce29851"> vagina </a> and helps target your <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19927155/how-to-find-your-own-g-spot/" id="b0517db7-1bf2-32e4-afeb-0146912ea1f4"> G-spot </a> .

Make It Hotter: Ask your partner to start rocking you in a side-to-side or up-and-down motion. That should bring the <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19942368/penis-facts/" id="71c8c4da-069e-34b3-a5d2-1a6d8213a65c"> penis </a> into direct contact with your G-spot.

7. Cowgirl's Helper

Do It: Similar to the popular <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19933430/sex-positions-your-go-to-move/" id="ce95dee4-0367-3696-a346-5b33fdd8f1b0"> Cowgirl </a> sex position, you kneel on top, pushing off your partner's chest and sliding up and down the thighs. But your partner helps by supporting some of your weight and grabbing your hips or thighs while he rises to meet each thrust.

Why: This sex position puts less stress on your legs, making climaxing easier. Plus, if you're with a guy, female-dominant sex positions delay his climax-so everyone wins.

Make It Hotter: Alternate between shallow and deep thrusting to stimulate different parts of the <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a19988510/healthy-vagina/" id="b7c7126d-78f6-3084-a2ce-a8fe7ce29851"> vagina </a> .

Do It: Get on your hands and feet and have him pick you up by the pelvis. Then grip his waist with your thighs.

Why: Aside from being a fabulous arm workout for you, this male-dominant sex position allows him deeper penetration.

Make It Hotter: Try resting on a table or the side of the bed and give your arms a break.

Do It: This is a modified <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19920176/doggy-style/" id="17e7303c-35d9-38d7-a7bb-71424953d434"> doggy-style </a> . Get on your hands and knees, then, keeping hips raised, rest your head and arms on the bed.

Why: This sex position creates <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19997457/11-positions-for-crazy-deep-sex/" id="dd9a07b6-9d87-3360-a066-48efb8db79e7"> deeper penetration </a> -and gives you a chance to rest on a pillow.

Make It Hotter: Use your hands to stimulate your <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19987295/clitoris-facts/" id="646d6062-5be3-374c-ab2e-5b4595a940ed"> clitoris </a> .

Do It: With both of you standing, you bend over at the waist; he enters you from behind.

Why: Bending over during this sex position helps make the vaginal walls tighter and increases the intensity of the friction.

Make It Hotter: Have your partner tickle your clitoris with a free hand, or loosely tie your hands together with a silky scarf.

Do It: Your partner sits, legs bent, leaning back on his hands and forearms. You do the same and then inch toward him until you make contact.

Why: Youll both feel really connected looking at each other. Increase your stimulation by grinding your clitoris against his pelvis.

Make It Hotter: Slide ice cubes down his chest and let the cold water collect at the base of his pelvis.

Do It: You kneel on top, pushing off your partner's chest and sliding up and down his thighs. You can relieve some of your weight from his pelvis by leaning back and supporting yourself on his thighs.

Why: By being the dominant in this sex position, youll delay his climax and intensify yours.

Make It Hotter: Discover new sensations for both of you by widening your knees or bringing them closer to his body.

Do It: Your partner lies on his back; you straddle him, facing his feet.

Why: This position lets you take control and show your guy the pace and rhythm you like.

Make It Hotter: To get more leverage, put your knees and shins inside his legs and under his thighs.

Do It: You lie on your back while your partner straddles you. He then gently inserts his penis through the tight opening created by your semi-closed legs.

Why: Tightness increases the intensity of the penetration.

Make It Hotter: Have him fondle your breasts or gently hold down your wrists for a little <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/g20662658/bondage-sex-positions/" id="8408b9c3-6a16-35e5-a9d3-75e05bbe9839"> bondage </a> action.

Do It: Standing on one foot, face your partner and wrap your other leg around his waist while he helps support you.

Why: This sex position allows for quality face time and connecting.

Make It Hotter: If youre really flexible, try putting the raised leg on his shoulder for even deeper penetration.

Do It: Do I really need to spell this one out? Okay. L ie on your back while he lies facedown on top of you.

Why: This sex position is simple, elegant, effective, and surprisingly versatile. Vanilla, sure, but delicious.

Make It Hotter: You can drastically change the sensation for both of you by shifting the angle of your legs.

17. Cross-Booty

Do It: Your partner enters you from the missionary position, then slides his chest and legs off your body so his pelvis is in the same location but his limbs form an X with yours.

Why: You feel more of his body in motion with this sex position.

Make It Hotter: Use this unique angle to massage his back, butt, or legs as he thrusts. He'll go crazy (as will you, watching him).

18. The Caboose

Do It: While he sits on the bed or a chair, back yourself into his lap and spoon each other while seated.

Why: You can't see your partner during this sex position, which means fantasizing is easier and can add to the excitement.

Make It Hotter: Tighten the muscles of your pelvic floor so you can grip him and keep him hard AF.

19. Scoop Me Up

Do It: Both of you lie on your sides, facing the same direction. You bring your knees up slightly while your partner slides up behind your pelvis and enters you from behind. (You may also know this as spooning.)

Some things in life are better on repeat: Friends, perfectly sunny beach days, your trusty white manicure. Your sexcapades, though? Definitely not one of them. Even the hottest spark in the bedroom needs new sex positions to stoke the flames from time to time-otherwise things get boring, fast.
