It's been said that sex is like pizza—even when it's bad, it's good. And while we've absolutely had a few encounters that feel firmly on the side of bad, for the most part, we're rather inclined to agree.

But even when something is better than so-so, that doesn't mean we don't want to improve it. Hell, we'd love to make great, greater—and where our sex lives are concerned, there's a lot we can do to make what's already steamy downright explosive. It's said that practice is everything, and that can mean practicing with yourself, but also getting to know your partner's pleasure points—and them, yours— so it's instinctual.

It's also easy to get hung up on insecurities or inhibitions, making sex unnecessarily awkward and clumsy. By letting go of these hang ups and giving into the spontaneous sexy fun intimacy is meant to be, we can bring sex to a whole other level.

One tip? Don't assume your partner always knows the best way to bring you to climax. Make your orgasms your responsibility, says sex educator Sunny Megatron, the host of Showtime's Sex with Sunny Megatron.

Don't be afraid to try new things—whether for you that may mean different positions, different settings, or new toys or role play. Just let go and have fun, everything else will follow!
