The best discussions - with good (NOT porn!) illustrations - of various positions, and activities are in "Joy of Sex" and "More Joy of Sex". I think the books are still in print (after 30 years!) or pick up copies for US$5 - US$10 on EBay.

As newlyweds, my wife & I used to make notes like "Let's try pg <nnn> sometime." or "Does <some topic> affect you like they say?" and leave them with the book under each others' pillow. It led to a LOT of experimentation, discovery, and fun!
