And guess what? The benefits work both ways. All you need to do is find an enthusiastic partner. The concept of road-testing new sex positions with your significant other is nothing new.

Some things in life are better on repeat: Friends , perfectly sunny beach days, your trusty manicure. Your sexcapades, though? Definitely not one of them.
