Let’s be real for a minute. We’d like to believe that we had the flexibility of every yogi meditating on a mountain-side ever, but we don’t. Honestly, most of us –even regular yoga goers- still find that there are ways that the human body simply cannot bend.

And in the bedroom, frankly, that’s how you get a penis in the eye. By which point you’re either laughing too hard or swearing too hard to continue.

So why do we still believe in sex that promotes positions over pleasure?

We’re all about pleasure. Like TV-chat show queens with bejeweled vibrators in our hands yelling “orgasms for you! Orgasms for you! And orgasms for you!” to the audience. We believe that sexual experiences are meant to be for exploring, seducing and, yeah, an amazing release. Everybody is a different body, and we all respond to stimulation differently. The fun part is finding out what works for you!

This is why we say it’s time for pleasure over positions! Dump the routine, embrace sizzling fun instead.

Spontaneity and experimenting can spice up solo sexy sessions as well as time with a lover. It can be as easy as agreeing to not use any of your regular positions or choosing to get inventive in rooms other than the bedroom, but there are also other fun things to try. Test the waters with your partner to see what you both find exciting and satisfying.

The obvious suggestion is, of course, toys. Bringing vibrators, cockrings and massagers into the bedroom can lead to some amazing sexual adventures. The chance to tease, tickle and pleasure a partner is fun for both parties, and can make a normally short lived session run all night long.

If you’re up for some serious naughtiness, then something like the We Vibe Couples Vibrator might be up your alley. This discreet vibe and body hugging, stimulates the clit and the g-spot at the same time and, best of all, can be controlled by an app on most smart phones. Load the app onto your partner’s phone to give them full control, perfect for eager teasers or for FIFO couples.

But there’s also sensual and sensory activities to try, like wax play, bondage and delicious edible body paints like the yummy, rich Kama Sutra body paints. With flavours like chocolate and caramel, it’s easy to win over your favourite sweet tooth and still get your fill.

The bedroom soloists amongst us, you’re also spoilt for choice. With only yourself to please, there’s no way of saying where your sexy time may take you. For men there’s now a huge range of exciting gear to try, but one of the most popular items are the cyberskin sleeves; these sleeves offer a tighter, more enjoyable experience than any ol’ handjob. They also have a variety of textures, replicating the feel of vaginal, oral and anal sex to an amazing degree. They can also be fun to use as a couple, putting a twist on some fairly straightforward foreplay.

But it’s the ladies who are really lucky! We would know. With so many vibrators and g-spot massagers being waterproof or wireless, the only limit is your limit – but it’s fun to give that a push too. You could try going all out with this little secret: sex furniture.

Yes, it’s a thing.

No, it’s not at IKEA.

Sex furniture comes in a range of designs, but for some fun by yourself the mountable cushions can provide a wicked ride. Having something to grind against is a great feeling to have while enjoying the vibrating attachments of the Madame Butterfly Wild Ride.

For pleasure’s sake, it’s time to give it a go!
