This sexcapade was a bit of a wild card for our couples–they were free to come up with their own new sex position to try. We only received feedback from 3 couples and we think it’s because people who have been together for a while generally know what works, and are reluctant to make the effort for anything else! When you’ve got kids and a lot of things to do, making an effort for sex can be a hurdle in an of itself. Making an effort for sex that when the reward doesn’t seem so great (are either of us really going to enjoy this)? That’s another ballgame! Anyway, we’re grateful to our couples who gave trying a new sex position a chance. Interestingly, we’re seeing a pattern that overall the men rate all of the activities from all of our sexcapades so far higher than the women. Anyone surprised???! Here is the scoop!

We tried a version of reverse cowgirl (him lying down, her sitting/kneeling on him, facing towards his toes). He loved the view but it wasn’t as pleasurable for her. She found the angle uncomfortable and also not stimulating enough to enjoy. We have done this at some point early on and there is a reason why we never did it again! It sounds cool, but in practice not so much. We’ll stick with what we know!
Couple 2: His Rating (4 / 5) Her Rating (4 / 5)
I enjoyed this and so did he. I’m not sure how to explain what we did other than describe it as lying down and joining two sets of ‘scissors’. My back was facing him but at almost a 90 degree angle so that one of his legs was between my legs, and I held onto his leg for leverage. It was slower to orgasm and less intense but still nice. This would be a good position for morning sex before teeth have been brushed.
Couple 5: His Rating (4 / 5) Her Rating (1 / 5)
Yawn. We couldn’t come up with an appealing position that we hadn’t already tried so we made a silly attempt even though we both knew it wasn’t going to work. Imagine doing a wheel barrow race, but now having sex. I did sort of a plank on the ground supporting myself with my arms and he held onto my legs while he was standing. Weird, funny, but not particularly enjoyable. Even with him supporting my body weight my arms got tired very quickly. Also my hands kept slipping so I kept falling down. We’re not recommending this position to anyone. Moved on to bigger and better things after a few minutes of trying this. He’s happy with any position that involves being inside me sooooo….
Couple 4: His Rating 
(5 / 5) Her Rating (4 / 5)
We figured out how to have sex on our chaise lounge – we’ve tried on & off over the years and now it’s working! I rode him & he then went from behind – the angles and variation in position made it new for us ! My knees were a bit cramped which is why I lowered my rating
