Eliezer is wrong about sexual boredom here.
It is not that couples get bored with their sexual activities because there is no variety in terms of positions, speeds, gadgets etc.....
People obviously get bored when they are long term couples because evolution has created us so that we change partners somewhat often. (Buss 2004)
The very same sex position, with the same general movements feels fantastically better when partner varies than any position would by keeping the same partner for very long.
Our minds are tuned to enjoy most something near serial monogamy with betrayal.
With all this, my point is that the complexity of an action is not what determines the size of the fun space for it. A point I think I share with David Pearce, for instance.
And there's endless variation. An enthusiast might look up their favourite sex position on Wikipedia and try out different variations for the most fun for them and whoever decides to be their partner!
One needs not have gadgets, it could be as sample as making use of ones environment or repurposing 'tech'
