Sometimes, our intimate moments can start to feel a bit too predictable. If you find yourself stuck in a rut, don’t worry. It happens to everyone, and there’s an easy fix. To shake things up and explore the uncharted territories of pleasure, these 25 new things to try in the bedroom will turn your sex life around and possibly make those naughty fantasies you have come true.

Just a PSA Before You Start 

Before diving into any new activities, discuss boundaries with your partner. We get that these conversations aren’t the most fun, but knowing each other’s limits ensures that your experiences stay enjoyable and respectful. Plus, open communication builds trust and makes it easier to explore new things together. Now, onto the fun!

1. Explore New Sex Positions

Let’s start with the basics: sex positions. An easy way to spice things up is trying new sex positions. From the classic missionary to adventurous positions like The Wheelbarrow or The Lotus, changing up your sex moves is the difference between boredom and a world of excitement filled with mind-blowing orgasms. 

Pro Tip: Incorporate some toys from Woo More Play to make these positions even more enjoyable!

2. Plan an Erotic Date Night

A special date night dedicated to intimacy will get those hormones flowing. Start with a sensual dinner (think oysters and fine wine) to connect on a deeper level and prelude to a sexy night ahead. When you return home, prepare for the main event with some candles and mood music, then let the magic happen.

3. Spice Things Up With Sex Toys

Adding sex toys into your intimate life is no longer taboo, and for that, we are grateful. From vibrating panties to G-spot vibrators, there’s a toy for every desire that will throw sexual boredom out the window. Sex toys are one of those things you can’t knock until you try. Plus, you might be surprised by your partner’s curiosities. ;) 

4. Play With Sexual Fantasies

It’s time to bring those sexual fantasies to life. Discussing and acting on your steamy thoughts is incredibly liberating and might just be the thing you and your partner need for a mind-blowing sex life. Trust us, it works.

Whether it’s role-playing as dominant and submissive or recreating scenarios inspired by the cliché (yet, dare we say, still hot?) "50 Shades of Grey," bringing fantasies to life will not only deepen your connection but also tick off those sexy experiences you have on your bucket list (don’t worry… more on that in a moment). 

5. Experiment With Dirty Talk

Dirty talk is an age-old language that speaks volumes. Maybe you’re feeling awkward, and want to know how to talk dirty? Start with simple compliments like, "Wow, look how sexy you are.” Once you’ve warmed up a bit, you’ll gradually get bolder as you and your partner become more comfortable. Soon, you’ll be fluent in the language of dirty talk and won’t ever look back. Confidence is key, so don’t be afraid to express your desires and fantasies verbally.

Here are some dirty talk phrases to try out:

• "Tell me how much you want me."
• "I love the way you touch me."
• "You drive me crazy."
• "I want you to take control."
• "I’ve been thinking about this all day."
• "You’re so sexy when you moan."
• "I love it when you tease me."
• "Show me how much you want it."
• "I want to feel every inch of you."
• "Make me beg for it."
• "I can’t get enough of you."
• "You’re mine tonight."
• "Let’s see how loud we can get."

6. Try Anal Sex

Ah, anal sex, a very underrated form of pleasure. We’re not gonna lie, it can be slightly uncomfortable at first, but with a little patience and when done right, it is highly rewarding in pleasure (and orgasms). It’s essential to approach this with care, consent, and plenty of lube. 

Not ready to go all the way? You can also try anal play with your hands instead if that’s more comfortable for you. Start slow, communicate openly, and ensure you’re comfortable and relaxed to make entry easier and more pleasurable. This can be an incredibly satisfying experience for any gender.

7. Incorporate Kinky Sex Elements

For those looking to trade in bedroom boredom, incorporating kinky sex elements can be hot AF. This can range from light bondage, butt plugs, and blindfolds to more adventurous activities like using restraints. Remember to do your research and that boundaries and safe words are there to keep things safe and enjoyable.

8. Use Different Kinds of Lube

Lube is the epitome of "the wetter, the better." Various types of lubes can be used in different ways, from water-based for general use to oil-based for longer-lasting fun. A good lube can make every sexual encounter, especially those rougher moments, much smoother.

Choosing the right type of lube can feel like picking a favorite flavor at an ice cream shop — so many tempting choices! Two of the most common types are oil-based and water-based lubricants. Here are the differences between them to help you make the best choice.

Water-Based Lubricants

• Versatility: Water-based lubricants can be used with most sex toys and condoms. They’re safe to use with latex, silicone, and other materials, making them versatile for various activities.
• Easy To Clean: One of the top advantages of water-based lubes is that they are easy to clean. They don’t stain fabrics and can be washed off easily with water, making post-intimacy cleanup a breeze.
• Skin-Friendly: These lubricants are less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions, as they are typically made with fewer additives and chemicals.

Best For: General use, including vaginal, use with condoms and sex toys, and those with sensitive skin.

Oil-Based Lubricants

• Long-Lasting: Oil-based lubricants last longer than water-based ones, reducing the need for reapplication. This makes them ideal for extended intimate sessions.
• Great for Water Play: Since they don’t wash away easily, oil-based lubes are perfect for shower sex and other wet environments.
• Rich Texture: These lubricants often have a richer, more luxurious texture, which can enhance the sensation and experience for some sex-goers.

Best For: Activities that don’t involve latex condoms, such as solo play or sex with non-latex condoms, and for those who want longer-lasting lubrication, including anal and water play.

9. Play With Wax

Wax play is a perfect opportunity to activate your senses and make foreplay a whole lot more interesting and sensual. Use special candles designed for wax play that melts at a lower temperature to avoid burns. For an added touch of intimacy, consider massage candles. Drip the wax onto your partner’s body (hint: externally only!) to create an incredibly stimulating combo of heat and pressure. Always start slowly and communicate to make sure everyone is comfortable & safe.

10. Adventure With Shower Sex

Why limit your fun to the bedroom? Shower sex is refreshing, intimate & HOT.. With warm water running over you while you’re going at it, things will be steamier than ever. 

Try different positions that work well in the shower, and use waterproof toys to add some extra excitement. P.S. You will want to use oil-based lube to avoid uncomfortable friction.

11. Explore the Submissive Role

For those who enjoy exploring power dynamics, taking on a submissive role can be one of those things that change your sex life for the better. Contrary to popular belief, playing submissive doesn’t mean giving up control; it’s about trust, mutual enjoyment & exploring power dynamics in the bedroom. The key is to set boundaries & incorporate some dirty talk. Use restraints, blindfolds, and light bondage to explore this dynamic safely and consensually.

12. Create a Sexy Bucket List

Why not make a sexy bucket list of all the new sexy experiences you want to try? This can include different sex positions, fantasies, and activities like shower sex or adventurous locations. Having a list will keep you on your toes and make them curl with pleasure. We’ll start: Have sex while camping (it’s in-tents), experiment with butt plugs, join the mile-high club, role-play as a sexy nurse, try mutual masturbation…

13. Try New Locations

Ever tried having sex in public? The thrill of almost being caught can be quite the turn-on. Just make sure you’re in a private, secluded area to avoid any actual run-ins. You can even try a quiet beach, a secluded forest spot, or your backyard (fenced-in, of course). No matter where you are, the anticipation and adrenaline rush will make the experience exhilarating and unforgettable for both of you.

14. Dress Up

Nurse, police officer, firefighter — you name it. We bet your partner will look good in uniform (and add a fun, sexy twist to your bedroom play). Role-playing means being the star of your own romantic or naughty scenario, igniting passion and leading to memorable, heated moments.

15. Experiment With Blindfolds

Looking for a simple yet electrifying new thing? One word: Blindfolds. Blocking out sight heightens your senses and can bring new levels of sensitivity. Without being able to see, every touch, kiss, and movement feels way more intense. Sensory deprivation, anyone?! 

16. Play With Feathers

Light, tickling touches can drive your lover wild with anticipation. Imagine the gentle teasing of your partner exploring your sensitive areas like your lips, arms, stomach, and, yes, your genitals. The soft, delicate sensations from feathers build up arousal slowly, making the eventual climax even more satisfying. 

17. Have Fun With Ice Cubes

Ice, ice baby. Stop, collaborate, and try this fun type of bedroom play! Gliding an ice cube over your partner’s body will have them shivering with pleasure. The contrast of the cold sensation followed by your warm breath and touch is so worth experiencing and will bring a ton of erotic fun into the bedroom.

18. Give Light Spanking a Try

Not everyone is into BDSM, but a little light spanking can really spice things up! It’s all about the mix of pain and pleasure, which can be incredibly sexy and take your intimate moments to a whole new level. Just be sure to communicate openly and come up with a safe word to keep things pleasurable.

19. Change Your Bedroom From Ordinary to Oh-La-La

What’s a great way to let your partner know that you’re DTF? Candles, rose petals, soft music — it’s time to transform your bedroom into a love nest! Sometimes, all your sex life needs is a romantic ambiance to make it feel more special and memorable. The effort you put into setting the scene shows your partner how much you care, leaving them smiling… and turned on. 

20. Enjoy a Sensual Bath

Add some scented oils to a bath and let the intimacy unfold. Warm water relaxes your muscles and heightens sensitivity, making every touch feel like you’re about to lose your mind (but you won’t, trust us… you’ll just get super turned on).

It’s a perfect way to unwind together at the end of the day and create a romantic, sensual atmosphere. If you want to get it on in the tub, be sure to have some oil-based lube nearby to avoid uncomfortable friction caused by water.

21. Try Remote-Controlled Toys

Take your play on the go with remote-controlled sex toys. Picture the thrill of wearing vibrating underwear on a date, with your partner setting the intensity. The surprise and anticipation will keep you both on edge, making for some steamy fun when you get home.

22. Have Fun With Sex Swings

Swing into new positions (pun intended) you never thought possible. Using a sex swing can take your bedroom fun and make it acrobatic ––without you actually needing to be acrobatic. Plus, the added support and movement can really enhance pleasure. Swings make everything more adventurous and fun. Just be sure to read the instructions and use it safely to avoid a sex swing catastrophe. Nobody wants a trip to the ER post sex-swing activities… 

23. Slow Down With Tantric Sex

Tantric sex is an ancient practice for enhancing intimacy and heightening your orgasms. It’s all about prolonging pleasure and deepening your connection with your partner. Slow down, explore each other’s bodies, and savor every moment. The focus on mindfulness and connection can boost both your sexual and emotional intimacy, leading to fulfillment like no other.

24. Try Silent Sex

Ever played the silent game? This one is a whole lot hotter. Challenge yourselves with silent sex for heightened awareness of each other’s bodies and movements. The challenge of staying silent puts you on edge, making every touch and whisper more intense and thrilling. It’s also perfect for exploring power dynamics and sensual play with things like massages, feathers, and wax.

25. Learn About Edging

Edging is the art of bringing your partner to the brink of orgasm and then stopping. Trust us, it will drive them (and you) crazy. Repeat this a few times, and when you’re ready to let them finish, they’ll probably experience the most intense climax ever. The science behind this is that the buildup of tension and anticipation makes the eventual release so much more powerful and satisfying — for both partners.

Final Thoughts on Things To Try in the Bedroom

The bedroom is your playground, and there are countless possibilities. From incorporating sex toys to experimenting with dirty talk and edging, there’s something for everyone to spice up their sex life.
