THE most depressing day of the year has arrived - Blue Monday. Back in 2005, Dr. Cliff Arnall, a British psychologist, calculated that the third Monday in January is the saddest due to a combination of different things. These include cold weather, the post-Christmas comedown, growing guilt over failed New Year’s resolutions, and piling debt.

This easy twist on Missionary is sure to boost your mood as it’s still comfy and accessible, but deeply satisfying. How to do The Eagle: Start in the traditional missionary pose, but the partner underneath raises their legs to hip height, then spreads them out wide. (Like eagle wings.).

Adjust the height and spread until you find an angle that creates the most friction. Bringing fun and games into the bedroom raises your dopamine (the feel-good brain chemical) to cheer you up and turn you on. Buy a sex game like my "A Hot Minute" card game, £14.99, Amazon, or just give leftover Christmas boardgames a racy revamp by removing an item of clothing every time it’s your turn.
