Sex life??

The other day my husband mentioned if I could put a little more effort into our sex life. He isn't so good with words but he explained that he loves our sex life but he wants to try different things. We usually stick to the same 6 positions or so and recently picked up on choking and bought different little whips that we have yet to try. I ordered some new lingerie and have been looking for different types of "sex games" like sex dice, board games, etc but I don't know where to start. Any ideas? We are not into sex toys. Haven't made our way there yet.
