You returned home after work and a drink at the bar. What's the first thing you do? Hop into the shower and enjoy some intimate moments with your partner while trying out new sex positions? Well… not really. Most couples only pick several choices when it comes to getting busy under the sheets, such as Missionary, Doggy Style, and Cowgirl.

Plus, most of the times you will be so tired that you'll hardly reach for the drawer to get condoms.

However, there are numerous other sex positions you can try out without having to be in the best physical condition. Plus, having sex is good for your health. So, we have 100 sex positions you and your partner can try out if you’re tired of your standard three poses and you’re willing to explore more of your sex life.

Handle this article as a wine list from the bar you visit after hours. In other words, you don’t have to try out everything that’s on it but instead, choose what looks and sounds good and give it a go. A few positions may become some of your new favorites.
