Sex advice with Suzi Godson: I'm worried we are too boring in bed

My husband and I only have sex in the missionary position because it seems guaranteed to bring both of us to orgasm. I’m worried sometimes that we’re being lazy and not adventurous enough. Should we be spicing things up?

You’re not the only ones. A few years ago I carried out a sexual practices survey that was filled in by 3,500 people and a whopping 80% of them cited missionary as the sexual position they engaged in most frequently. Like you, most couples harbour secret anxieties about dining from a limited sexual menu, but psychological research has shown time and again that choice is the enemy of satisfaction. When you give people too many options, they either stick to the choices that have worked for them in the past, or they avoid choosing altogether.
