Have Sex Outside the Bedroom

Sex outside of the bedroom should mean more than his 'n' hers loofahs. "There are plenty of other things around the house that can really spice up your sex life," says Laura Berman, Ph.D., president and director of the Berman Center and author of The Passion Prescription. You already have the tool; use these tips to pull off an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition of your own.
KITCHEN COUNTER
The Upgrade: Place her on the edge of the surface (the kitchen table or sink will work just as well) and stand facing her with her feet resting on your hips or behind your butt.
The Payoff: The solid surface will make even slow, small thrusts intense," says Isadora Alman, author of Real People Having Really Good Sex. The change of venue can't hurt, either.
PILLOWS
The Upgrade: Place one or two fluffy pillows under her butt during missionary-style sex. Slide your hands under her shoulders, moving forward until your chest is aligned with her face. Rock back and forth, using the base of your penis to put pressure on her clitoris.
The Payoff: Orgasm hinges on clitoral stimulation for 65 percent of women, according to The Hite Report. This move also reaches different parts of her vagina, and "the angle may intensify your pleasure, too," says Joy Davidson, Ph.D., author of Fearless Sex.
WASHING MACHINE
The Upgrade: During the spin cycle (fastest vibrations), sit your partner on the edge of the machine with her legs bent and feet on your shoulders. As the machine pulsates, bend or kneel and provide oral stimulation.
The Payoff: "The pulsations will bring blood to the pelvic area and enhance sensation," says Davidson. Bonus: no chin-in-the-mattress neck stiffness.
HAIRBRUSH
The Upgrade: Keeping your wrist loose, give her a sharp thwap on the caboose with a harmless hairbrush, wooden spoon, or spatula. Be careful not to overdo it.
The Payoff: "Light spanking hyperstimulates the nerves, intensifying sensation in the stimulated areas," says Richard Emerson, author of The Best Sex You'll Ever Have.
MIRRORS
The Upgrade: Ask her to hold on to the sink and look into the mirror while you enter her from behind.
The Payoff: More eye contact during the G-spot–targeting rear-entry position. "It's instant intimacy," says Emerson.
THE STAIRS
The Upgrade: Sit on the stairs, facing the railing, with one leg braced a stair or two down and the other leg slightly bent. Ask her to lower herself onto you, facing the rail and holding it for support.
The Payoff: "This helps women who don't have enough leg strength to do the reverse cowgirl," says Davidson. "Plus, it's great when you can't quite make it to the bedroom."
SOFA
The Upgrade: Ask her to straddle the arm of the couch, facedown, as you enter her from behind. Bonus: Place a silk scarf over the sofa's arm. "Her breasts and clitoris will rub against the fabric," says Davidson.
The Payoff:  Multiple stimulation, minimal effort. "Sometimes the bed is too soft, too low, or too boring to achieve the position you want," says Suzi Godson, author of Sexploration. This will allow her soft spots to grind on the cushy arm of the sofa.
