Shower sex can be all kinds of fun (and potentially dangerous because: water), especially if you try out some of these bathroom sex positions.

Don't worry, as long as no one sees you, having public sex outdoors is totally legal. The thrill of doing something a bit naughty, and potentially getting caught, will just add to the general sexy vibe.

Role play can be a giant laugh, but also really bloody sexy. If you want to play around with the roles you usually take during sex, this is the perfect opportunity. Plus, dressing up is so fun. Whether you go for the classic French maid or full fetish cat, there's a costume for what you're into.

Remember that scene in Fifty Shades where Christian popped a metal ball into Ana's vagina before they went off to a masked ball? Yes, totally normal behaviour. And you can try that, too. Kegel balls are worn internally and stimulate you gently and you walk around/go about your business. Plus, they're designed to train your pelvic floor muscles.

Erotic lingerie not only looks great from your partner's point of view, but it can make you feel sexy and confident, right?

The Mile High Club is so damn fun to join, even 13 major celebs have spoken out about their in-air sexual experiences. Whether you risk getting caught by doing your business under a blanket, or pop to the loos under the watchful eye of the cabin crew, it'll one hell of a story to tell your pals.

Watching porn together can turn you on, but also give you ideas and awaken fantasies you never knew you had. It also opens a discussion between partners about what they might like to try, how fun! Make sure you choose ethical, feminist, legit porn where people are paid to act and the content isn't ripped by the tube site giants. Here's how to find good porn.

If you're interested in trying some light impact play, grab yourself a spanking paddle and get spanking. Whether you are the spanker or the spankee (technical terms here people!), read our spanking for beginners guide first.

Pool sex is up there on a lot of people's sexual fantasies list. So why not try having sex in a swimming pool, or a hot tub... or the sea... whatever you have access too, basically.

While some people's idea of personal hell is inviting someone else into the sacred bedroom, others say threesome sex was the best sex of their lives. Just be sure to communicate openly and honestly beforehand (and during, and after) about your boundaries, limits and desires. And try these trusty threesome sex positions.

If you want to dip your toe (not literally... unless you want to) into anal play for the first time but you aren't sure where to start, take it slow. Here's how to use anal sex toys for the first time. We'd recommend starting off very small with some good quality, silicone anal beads. They're a no frills but super pleasurable toy to begin with. Or choose one of these anal sex toys for beginners. You coudl also try rimming or anal fingering if toys aren't for you.

Simultaneous rimming and a hand job doesn't sound too easy, but it can be done. And for a penis-having partner, it can feel incredible (remember they have a G-spot in their butt, known as the P spot.)If you're worried about cleanliness or potential poop, you can use an anal douche before you get going. Or, get some flavoured lube up in there.

If you're interested in going to a sex party for the first time, know you can be as involved as you want to be. Whether you go with a partner and just have sex while other people watch, or actually have sex with other people you meet there, it's up to you. Here's a list of the best swingers clubs and sex parties in the UK. You could even try a virtual sex party...

Pegging - a reasonably new term that means when a woman or vagina-having person anally penetrates a male/penis-owning person with a strap on dildo - is becoming so much more popular. And it's not hard to see why (seriously, I tried it, it was hot). If your partner's into it, start off small with an anal toy and work your way up to a full-on dildo as they become more comfortable. Whatever you do, use a fuck load of lube because the anus doesn't self-lubricate like the vagina.
