When couples think about experimenting with new sex positions, it's easy to, well, worry a little. Maybe you're wondering, Can I really hoist my leg up there? What if he throws his back out? Is all the potential pain and suffering worth contorting into some pretzelesque pose? Never fear, trying new poses is hardly as difficult or death-defying as it's often cracked up to be. Most times, all it takes is the smallest twists to your favorites to deliver a bigger bang for your buck. As proof, check out these options.

Find sideways sex most satisfying? Then try these new twists...
chess, game, piece, black, bishop
a black bishop chess piece on white background
The Swinging BishopWhen you\'re in the spooning position with your back to him, lift your top leg and have him hold it, or drape your leg over his. This \r\nallows for even deeper penetration — and gives you both great access to your clitoris if you\'ve craving extra encouragement.
Enjoy missionary the most? Then try these new twists...
cat, kitten, gray, meow, angry, pet
a gray kitten meowing and looking angry
The Crazy CAT\r\nIn truth, the missionary position doesn\'t always give women enough clitoral contact to reach her peak — but leave it to a sexual researcher (Edward Eichel) to change that by inventing the Coital Alignment Technique (CAT). To do it, have your guy slide his torso up a few inches so he rocks, rather than thrusts, into \r\nyou, keeping his pubic bone connected to yours at all times. The added clitoral stimulation is scientifically proven to up your enjoyment level.

fish, goldfish, kissing, pets, bubbles
a pair of goldfish looking at each other
The Kissing GoldfishYou don\'t have to spoon to make sideways sex work. Believe it or not, it is possible to have sex sideways while facing each other — just lift your leg so he can scoot in there. Movement will \r\nbe limited to grinding rather than thrusting, but these more subtle movements can be highly stimulating, especially since his every hip wiggle will be hitting your clitoris front and center. Plus (attention romance junkies) since you\'re facing each other, you can kiss and gaze into each other\'s eyes.
Up for even more of a challenge? Give this sex position a try...
landmark, Italy, Leaning Tower of Pisa
the leaning tower of pisa on a bright day
The Leaning Tower of PisaLess delicate folks might call this the Pile Driver, and while we\'ve \r\ntried to attach a gentler eponym, this move is definitely not for the faint of heart. Your guy kneels, grabs your legs and hoists \r\nthem up onto his shoulders, then enters you while you\'re practically doing a headstand below. A neck ache may ensue over time, but while it lasts, it\'s definitely impressive and will give the guy an \"I\'m king of the world!\" rush. Meanwhile, you\'ll get to experience your own rush — of blood to your head, for starters, but also of getting manhandled in the most satisfying way.
Like it best from behind? Then try this new twist...
tiger, cat, crouching, log, tree, jungle, animal
a tiger crouching on a tree log
The Crouching TigerBeing on all fours while your partner takes you from behind is already erotically animalistic, but you can make it even more sexually charged by lowering your chest to the bed. This angle elongates and tightens your vagina, resulting in an even more snug, more tantalizing fit.
Enjoy missionary the most? Then try these new twists...
bridge, golden gate bridge, san francisco
the golden gate bridge on a clear day
The Golden Gate\r\nRaise your legs and drape them over his shoulders so your knees or calves are on either side of his head (don\'t worry, it\'s not as hard as it sounds). Or bend your knees and place your feet flat \r\nagainst his chest. Thrusting is effortless for him in this position, so prepare for a wild ride!
Enjoy missionary the most? Then try these new twists...
road, highway, long, street, desert, driving, plains
a narrow highway in the plains
The One-Lane HighwayOnce he\'s inside you, squeeze your legs together so his thighs are straddling yours. The snugger fit will make your vagina feel \r\ntighter, his penis feel bigger, and create a whole lot of friction you\'ll both enjoy.
Enjoy missionary the most? Then try these new twists...
bird, stork, animal, nature, outdoors, leg, balance
a stork in grass standing on one leg
The One-Legged StorkRaise just one leg so it rests on his torso while keeping the other flat on the bed. This position has two things going for it: easy \r\nthrusting, plus now there\'s room for you (or him) to reach down and manually stimulate your clitoris for added kicks.
Prefer to hop on top? Then try these new twists...
arc, arch, landmark, St. Louis
a wide close up shot of the st louis arch
The Amazing Arc\r\nSlide your legs down so they\'re straddling his thighs rather than his torso. Arch your back so you\'re nearly perpendicular to the bed. The arc shape of your body will put maximum pressure on \r\nyour clitoral area, which may send you overboard in no time.
Prefer to hop on top? Then try these new twists...
woman, cowgirl, lasso, hat, silhouette, sun, boots, Western
a cowgirl in hat and boots with lasso silhouetted in sun
The Reverse CowgirlIn this position, you spin so you\'re facing his feet, then go at it with your torso perpendicular to the bed (or you can lean back against his chest). This, of course, gives him a great view of your \r\nderriere — and the new angle of him inside you can create a whole host of sweet new sensations.
