One of my friends hooked up on the roof of the journalism building. Another said he used to take ladies to J. Penney dressing rooms if his roommate was around. But everyone is wrong. Beds are great. Especially not after a modern nighttime routine of removing makeup, brushing teeth, changing into my PJs, and watching two Facebook videos about latent viruses lurking in the melting ice caps.

You've settled in for the night, the Netflix is on and you're topping and tailing with your man on the couch. How about a sneaky shag? Get him to lay behind you and drop his dacks whilst you strip off your undies — or slip them right to the side, JAY-Z-style. Lift your right leg and drape it over his thigh and tuck the other in underneath his chest. Then let him enter into you and do all the hard work while you continue watching your TV show. Get your man to sit upright on the couch and lower yourself on to him, with your knees at either side of his thighs and your back to his face.

I understand this is common knowledge, but it bears repeating, as many of us are apt to get caught in a sexy-time rut of our own creation. The easiest way to break this monotony? Add a few couch sex positions to your repertoire. Couches are, of course, not all that different from beds. Couches present few logistical challenges, and the closest one is likely a mere few steps away from your bedroom. The couch feels out in the open, vulnerable, revealing in a way a bed never really does—and that holds true, even if you live alone i.
Americans spend nearly three hours a day on the couch, according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. So if the couch is a big part of your life, you might want to start having sex on it. I mean, why not? Couch sex can be a hot place to mix it up in a relationship; it can be the setting for impromptu sex during downtime; or, it can be a convenient place to get it on while watching Mr. Smith or, you know, straight up porn—no shame in that. How to: Your partner sits cross-legged as you mount his lap, facing him with your legs wrapped around his back. Why it's great: This compact move is perfect for any couch, whether luxury sectional or an apartment-sized love seat no pun intended. This position is not only supremely intimate, but can allow your partner to reach both your clitoris and G-spot, while stroking other erogenous zones like face, upper body, and neck. How to: Lie on your right side as your partner kneels over your right leg, straddling it, and curl your left leg around his left side. Why it's great: This achieves the same penetration as doggy style, but adds a level of intimacy as you're facing each other.
