We all know that porn is not reality. There is so much production that goes into it, from great lighting and perfect camera angles to convenient editing and unseen breaks. Porn is a lot of fun, but it’s not a realistic representation of what most couples get up to in the bedroom.
Buuuuut, that’s not to say that porn has nothing it can teach us. Reddit user Inevitable_Brick_877 recently asked the AskReddit community, “What did you see in porn that you tried with your partner that they also liked?” According to people’s responses, these dirty little videos may be way more helpful at spicing things up than you ever realized. Here’s what worked for some of the internet’s more adventurous couples.
(Obviously, this is very NSFW. LOL. Read with discretion!!!)
1. “69-ing. You both have to be into it and understand that it’s not about cumming, it’s about enjoying the pleasure of receiving while trying to concentrate enough to give. Both have to know their way around with their mouths, though, or it sucks.”

2. “Saw a kitchen that was pretty dope in a porn, and we ended up buying a house with a very similar kitchen. We fucked over the counter like in the video I saw, and 10/10 better than the old kitchen. Having an island is a game changer for entertaining and doggy.”

3. “My ex-girlfriend once received an important call from her boss right in the middle of sex. I went to get up and walk away, but she forcefully grabbed my hand and made me massage her clit. She’d periodically mute the phone call to give me some new directions. This went on for about 25 minutes. I wish I still knew her during the COVID lockdown. Zoom meetings would have been so much more fun.”

4. “Reverse cowboy. It was nice having my partner enjoy the role reversal. 10/10 would recommend.”

5. “One of my ex-girlfriends was into BDSM. She told me about this one porn she saw called Electrocute Cutie where a woman was being shocked on various parts of her body and had clamps on her nipples. She wanted to recreate it, so we used one of my TENS units that I use for my post-workout recovery regimen. She put it around her private area, on a low setting, and I had control of the intensity. Man, she finished like a geyser. It was pretty interesting sex.”

6. “Being tied up and edged for hours.”

7. “I love watching gay porn, so I knew a lot about anal sex and stimulation, so I tried it on my boyfriend. I ate him out first, then I fingered him, and he fucking loved it. I think I unlocked a new dimension. He came in half the time. Ever since, I can take control and make him feel like my bitch, and he doesn’t protest.”

8. “Threesomes, LMAO. That was an awkward conversation at first, but man, turns out we both LOVE it.”
—u/AdeptBalance5464
9. “Scissoring. I used to watch tons of lesbian porn for tips on going down and eventually evolved into scissoring. I studied the position and then attempted it with my girlfriend at the time, and she loved it! Every once in a while, I’ll pull out that move and it never fails to make her peak!”
—u/dg3548
10. “My situationship asked if he could record me while we were having sex. I thought it over for a minute and said yes. I got so into it, and I get super turned on whenever I watch our videos.”

11. “Going back and forth between giving oral and having sex. Anytime I feel like I’m getting close to finishing, I just go back down on her. It makes sex last a lot longer, and I have never had a complaint from my wife.”
—u/Brian_Chaos
12. “Post orgasmic torture/overstimulation. Thank me later.”
—u/Shinobi347
13. “Femdom pegging. Restraining my boyfriend’s hands and feet above his head, then penetrating his ass with a strap-on until he begs for mercy. He cums so hard he cries. Then I make him eat me out for an hour to show appreciation. I think he’s addicted now.”

14. “We roleplay certain stuff, like a plumber or pizza delivery guy; we make it a game. Like I delivered a pizza and she goes, ‘Hey, I ordered meat on pizza.’ And I go ‘Oh, umm, well here’s some meat,’ and whip out my penis.”
—u/nourright
15. “Prone bone; it’s actually a little better for reaching the right spot. Doggy style is a classic that 90% of people enjoy, but if you do it right, the prone bone is actually better.”
—u/valhallaswyrdo
16. “In doggie position, the top takes the bottom’s hands in theirs behind the bottom’s back, fully supporting them while the top drives it home.”

17. “Eating her ass out while fingering/using a toy on her. It awoke something in her.”
—u/supple
18. “The sex swing. Being suspended in the air like that was interesting to me, but it took my boyfriend a minute to get used to it. Once he got into the groove, he even ended up fucking my mouth in the swing. A pure treat.”
—u/Lady_Pulpeuse
19. “Shower sex. She likes to be dominated, so pinning her against the wall in the shower was a two-for-one.”

20. “Riding him while keeping full eye contact. I didn’t think I could actually pull it off, but wow, it worked better than I ever imagined.”
—u/theblondestar
21. “Oil. We didn’t get completely drenched like in some videos, just enough mineral oil to be slick and shiny. It was amazing.”
—u/Danulas
22. “Foot stuff — I started massaging her feet, then I licked them. Not only did she not complain, but she really enjoyed it. Now, every so often, I make sure to lick or suck her toes, especially when I’m inside her.”

23. “Facials. I asked her if I could do it, and it ended up turning her on way more than she anticipated. Now she loves it.”
—u/drivefastallday
24. “Eating it from the back. Personally, I love it, though it took my partner a little time to warm up to it due to her butthole being in my face, but once I showed her what I can do, it opened doors for her. LOL.”
—u/AnxiousPossibility3
25. “I never would have imagined that some girls would enjoy having a hand around their throat, but I met one girl who went wild for it.”
—u/FoxOpposite9271
26. And finally, “Ordered a pizza. Did not result in a threesome as expected. But the pizza was really good.”
