You don't have to give up the intimacy of face-to-face sex to kick the heat up a notch. Not so boring anymore, huh? Besides, with some of the following juicy missionary upgrades, you don't even have to sacrifice eye contact - especially if that's what gets you and your partner off. Try to envision missionary sex where the receiving partner grabs the giving partner's backside while they're thrusting. Imagine missionary sex where the giving partner caresses the receiving partner's thighs, belly, chest, or face. For starters, you and your partner can keep this tried-and-true position, but challenge each other to focus on your erogenous zones. But before you cancel the classics, know there are several ways to make missionary sex more exciting. One partner is on their back, the other partner leans over them, and then penetration of some sort occurs. Missionary sex gets written off as 'boring' all the time - and OK, sometimes it can be.
