Valentines Special- Try These 5 Positions With Your Man

You don't have to swing in on a trapeze carrying a whip and a gag ball to make Valentine's Day memorably sexy. In fact, fantastic sex is not at all as complicated as you may imagine. Intimacy is as simple as eye contact, skin contact and communication. Of course, if you'd like to get a little freaky and try something different, there are ways to spice things up. We asked sex experts for five positions for hetero partners to try on Valentine's Day.

First of all, before you go racing into the bedroom wearing nipple tassels and screaming, "Come and get me!" there are a few things you should consider. The first is that, while you're all geared up and ready, your partner may not be quite on the same page.

* Heavenly scissors

Both partners lie on their side with their heads near the other's feet. He slips his lower leg under her lower leg, his upper leg between her legs and moves his pelvis towards her until he can penetrate her.

* Sexy spoons

Both partners lie on their side facing the same way with him cradling (or "spooning") her from behind as he penetrates her.

* Reverse cowgirl

He is lying down. She's on top, straddling him in a kneeling or squatting position, facing his feet.

* Legs on shoulders

He kneels between her legs; she lies on her back and places her heels or knees on his shoulders.

* Yab yum

He sits cross-legged; she sits in his lap and wraps her legs around his waist. The soles of her feet touch. Their arms are wrapped around each other.
