Does it feel like your sex life has become boring and routine? Repetition can become unexciting after a while. It's not that a couple plans things this way, but rather the fact that life tends to dampen enthusiasm over a period of time. Using the same positions every time and building up an unshakable routine doesn't help either. I'm not sure why some people think that doing the same thing again and again is a good idea, but they are wrong. Everybody needs a little variation in his or her life, including in the bedroom.

Variation can easily and delightfully be achieved by learning new sex positions. Far from being 'just frills', changing positions during sex allows the two lovers to play with each other and to find new ways of getting and giving pleasure. If you feel that sex is getting stale, but love is still strong, then you simply have to learn some new positions and bring a little variety in the bedroom.

There are a number of resources for learning new sex positions. For one, you can browse our list of 51 sex positions. For those who like a more visual approach, try the 52 Sex Positions Flash Cards, $8.99.

If you are surfing the web, I recommend Lovecentria™. Lovecentria™ has one of the most comprehensive databases of sex hints, tips and information on the Internet and, naturally, a whole section dedicated to sex positions. From the most mundane to the most exotic ones, they have them all accompanied by both text and incredible 3D animations that you can use to make sure you learn them right and make no embarrassing mistakes. It's true that getting it right the first time is pretty hard, but trying and failing is not that bad if both partners get to see the fun side. Learning new positions can really strengthen the bond between two people.

Browsing a list of new positions together and choosing the ones you are going to use in a couple of minutes can be a big turn on for both partners. Just think of all the pleasure lying ahead of you and focus on the fact that you are about to enjoy a great night. Remember, you're just beginning to learn these new positions so there's no reason to feel bad over a fumble, especially if the end result is mind blowing. Also, you may want to try several positions in order to understand how they work and to see what works best for you.

Whichever way you decide to learn a new sex positon, remember that sex is meant to be fun, but a little knowledge can make it even better. Like most things in life, your sex life will only be as good as the effort you put into it.
