Most scholars agree that there are only two things forbidden in Islam between a married Muslim couple as far as sex is concerned; they are:
1. To have intercourse while the woman is menstruating, and
2. To have intercourse through the back passage.
They base their opinion on the following and other similar hadeeth:
The Prophet ﷺ said: "The one who has intercourse with a menstruating woman, or with a woman in her back passage, or who goes to a fortune-teller, has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad." (Reported by al-Tirmidhi).
Outside of that, what you do in the bedroom is up to your imagination and sense of adventure. The Qur'an and the Sunnah are generally silent as to the various forms of sexual expression that may take place between husband and wife.
Aside from the restrictions mentioned in the above Hadeeth, and some other general restrictions relating to how we deal with each other as Muslims and as human beings (not causing pain to one another, not degrading or insulting one another, etc) most scholars leave it up to the spouses to decide how to physically express their sexual desires.
