Are you having boring sex? You’re not alone.

Forty-five percent of Americans think their sex life is stuck in a rut, according to new research.

A further seven in 10 of those studied admitted that they could use a drastic boost in excitement when it comes to getting down between the sheets.

The study, conducted by OnePoll in conjunction with PinkCherry, explored the sexual routines and habits of 2,000 Americans and uncovered that a whopping 62 percent rely on the exact same positions each time they do the deed.

No wonder then that many an American is thinking about spicing things up.

But three in five people also said thinking about experimenting with new sexual positions is something they’ve considered to try and add some excitement to their typical sexual routines.

For those who say they have mixed it up in the bedroom, another go-to option is having sex in different rooms — practiced by half of respondents.

Incorporating sex toys into the mix was popular among 41 percent of those surveyed.

In fact, four in five of those surveyed say they have thought about using a sex toy — with half of those who have thought about the idea of using a sex toy actually going on to experiment with one in the bedroom.

Sex toys can be used any time of year to help spark excitement in people’s sex lives but it appears that Valentine’s Day is a special day — with a quarter of Americans polled saying they plan on using a sex toy on Feb. 14, either with a partner or solo.

“When using a sex toy with a partner, does that mean that you aren’t good enough? The reality is that bringing sex toys into your sex life is an added bonus to an already amazing experience, like a cherry on top (pun intended),” explains Daniel Freedman, PinkCherry CEO.

“Once they try a toy that rubs their partner the right way, they feel more confident to try new things in bed more often.”

While sex toys are a great way to spice things up in the bedroom, it doesn’t necessarily mean doing so is easy.

In fact, when it comes to really making things more entertaining in between the sheets, 39 percent reveal they are embarrassed about using a sex toy for the first time.

Another 35 percent admit to feeling anxious, while a further 18 percent are intimidated by the whole experience.

But it’s all these feelings that are limiting pleasurable sexual experiences among Americans.

It turns out that three in 10 of those studied admitted to feeling self-conscious in bed and lamenting their comfort level (or lack thereof) with their own bodies as a reason for avoiding sex toys in the bedroom.

However, of the 50 percent of Americans who have used a sex toy, 41 percent reveal that sex toys can actually help make a relationship stronger.

It turns out that those surveyed are more likely to try out a sex toy for the first time with someone they’ve been in a long-term relationship with (52 percent) — or even by themselves for a solo sexual session (49 percent).

Just 17 percent of respondents revealed that they’d be willing to experiment with a sex toy early on in a relationship and 19 percent would do so with a new partner.

“We at PinkCherry.com are on a mission to bust the myth that using a sex toy isn’t normal. If sex toys were only for certain types of people, would it be a $15 billion a year global industry? Sex toys are just another way to make orgasm easier and faster, same as how we use tools and technology in all other aspects of our lives,” Freeman said.

“Go for it, start exploring sex toys, and have fun!”
