From the article: The Six Basic Sex Positions
People often look to sex positions to shake up their sexual routine and get a fresh perspective on an old sex act. Is the magic of a new sex position the way it makes you feel, where it allows you to reach, or some combination of mind, body, and spirit? Are all sex positions created equal, and in your opinion, what makes a great sex position? Share Your Tips!

partner on top

i like my partner on top position have penetrate my penis in to her then give movements as long as she can until she reaches orgasm, later i penetrate my penis from her back by kneeling her on legs and hands , i give gentle strokes so that she can have my thing totally in her.

oral sex position

Play with her nipples to make her go crazy and try to do more oral sex so we can enjoy long term sexual pleasure.

Talk More Important Than Position

It's very important that you talk while having sex. Most of the time couples don't talk while having sex & very soon they feel like sex life is over. Always talk to each other. Take your partner's advice, ask her what she wants. It works. I have more than 8 year sex life with my gf & it still feels like same excitement as when I was with her first time in bed.

Afterwards

Fellas, after you have had your pleasure, please remember the your loved one is (if you have made her feel like the only woman on earth), still on a high. Then while you are waiting to watch the game on tv, for heavens sake put your arms around her and run your hands up and down her back. She is still on a high help her to reach nirvana with some caresses and some tender words of love. Leave the swear words in the car, don't bring them into the bed room unless it turns her on, on a come down, she needs those tender words of love, nothing else will do. So what if it lasts into the last quarter of the game. Hey fellas, this is a guy talking.

favorite sex position

I personally like the wife penetrating from the front on me. It climax's me to the hilt and she gets to perform oral at the same as time while penetrating

More Ways to Take it up a Notch

As a hypnotist, I agree that we can create new/better/different experiences and results just by seeing/trying/tasting through a fresh filter...as your "new dishes" analogy suggests. However, as a relationship coach, I'd say that new positioning is VERY important, although not because it's a quick fix or instant access to something that'll blow your mind, but rather because it keeps the conversation of sex, intimacy and preferences open and alive, which can prove to be as hot as the act itself. Communication and connection (sharing thoughts and new ideas) is foreplay, too. It's never going to be about finding some new trick or position to rock your relationship (although it never hurts). I believe you'll always find more value in staying present and engaged in any sex your having.

Sexual positions

Making love is from beginning till cuddling at the end. The woman's orgasm is central to any successful love making. Man's enjoyment comes from giving pleasure and not selfishly seeking his own orgasm. Before intercourse I orally and manually bring her to several orgasms. By that time she can't wait to have you inside her. I like being on top with her legs over my shoulders. I can kiss her, look into her eyes and watch her beautiful breast move with every thrust. You can slow down to delay her orgasm or speed up and drive her wild. After it's all over respect her by holding her, talk and kiss and for God's sake don't immediately fall asleep.

Basics

I think people who want to spice of their sex lives, should try something new, TALK to each other. The problems in the bedroom can often times be solved with good communication. My partner and I have a great sex life and most the time it's the basic 3 or 4 positions. We have learned it's not what you do but, with who you do it with.

Variety of Positions

If you are new to sex or with a new partner, it can be fun to experiment with sex positions, but as time goes by you learn which positions are most comfortable and you kind of get stuck in your routine. It just doesn't make sense to save the really nice positions for special occasions!!?? I find the 69 position most comfortable with both partners lying on their sides with the "down arm" underneath the partner between the pelvis and rib-cage. My favourite position is doggy style, and being on my back, missionary style.

Boredom

Sometimes the act of sex can just be boring. Especially if your heart's really not in it. One should have the freedom to say to your lover, "Honey, I'm not into this", stop, and cuddle a while. There's always tomorrow.
—stonepretender

Mind vs. Body

Sometimes it is more exciting to change your thoughts as opposed to your position. I saw an ad that said "Lust for the one you Love". It gave me an entirely new perspective. By bringing thoughts of Lust back to my relationship, like in the early days, made any position more than exciting.

Back to Basics

I think sometimes people get too concerned with tricks and gimmicks and that really detracts from the fun. Why is everyone so down on "vanilla" sex anyway? I like vanilla, its comforting, and nice. I know people like to think of sex as "wild" and "scintillating", but "nice" works just fine for me.
