Not only does this position offer a new angle, it’s a great upper body workout and a whole lot more fun than going to the gym.

For a smoother ride, try adding Durex Play Perfect Glide Lube.

To start, ask your partner to get down on all fours, starting things off in the doggy style sex position. With your hands on your partner’s hips slowly lift to standing. They can then either hold your ankles or place both palms flat on the floor. Hello, handstand practice!

This position is easier, and less likely to result in any unfortunate wobbles, if you do it on the floor rather than the bed.

Feeling adventurous? This position is tricky but if you get there, it’s you’ll both get bragging rights.

Begin by both standing up and enter your partner from behind, as they fold forward with their head touching the floor, using their forearms or hands for balance.

They should now be in a basic headstand position with bent legs. You can then hold your partner’s legs to support them.

Let your partner take the reins for this easy twist on a classic. This one doesn’t just feel great for the both of you, it might help to release your partner’s inhibitions, too.

Lie down on the bed, as your partner sits on top of you with their back towards you and legs straddling your body.

This position is the perfect opportunity for them to enjoy some self-stimulation at the same time while you get to admire their cute bum.

There’s a reason why the doggy sex position is one of the most famous positions out there. It’s super-simple and offers deep penetration with no balancing acts required.

Ask your partner to get on all fours and then penetrate them from behind. Easy!

Who says that you have to limit your adventures to the bedroom? This one works best on the sofa.

Lean back on the sofa until you’re propped up on your elbows with your partner sitting on top facing away from you.

It’s sort of like a more advanced spooning position - not only will they appreciate the cuddle, they might enjoy an orgasm too.

If you love the intensity of rear-entry positions, try the frog sex position.

Begin by sitting on the edge of the bed with your feet planted on the ground. Ask your partner to squat over you with their back to you, holding their waist to help them move up and down.

Take the load off and make it easier by supporting them with your hands under their bum.
