Looking to try something new tonight? ALIX FOX rounds up the best same-sex techniques everyone can enjoy
Not all types of love look the same. Neither does all lovemaking. What happens in lgbt relationships is often different to what goes down beneath the duvet for heterosexual couples. But where ‘traditional’ penis-in-vagina sex is impossible, a multitude of alternative forms of carnal pleasure are now on offer, and straight couples could arguably benefit from borrowing a technique or two.
Same-sex lovers have a better understanding of how a certain touch or position feels for their partner. After all, someone who possesses a particular organ – be it a penis or clitoris – will have a good idea on how to operate it for someone’s pleasure, too.

Whether it’s thinking beyond penetration or challenging gender stereotypes, many straightsex lives could be revolutionised by a frank Q&A session with the LGBT players. Here, a few non-heterosexuals share their hottest bedroom advice.
