Some things in life are better when you do them over and over: New Girl, your favorite playlist, your skincare routine. But when it comes to sex, repeating the same things can get dull quickly. To keep things exciting, try new sex positions now and then.
“Usually, couples get into a sexual habit and take on a fairly foreseeable sexual script,” stated Rachel Needle, PsyD, a licensed psychologist in Florida and co-director of Modern Sex Therapy Institutes. ” But passion is always boosted by excitement and newness. Trying different things can help spark the romance.”
Trying new things in bed can help you feel closer to your partner and make your relationship stronger, says Shawntres Parks, a marriage and family therapist. When you explore new sex positions, you both become more open with each other, both in and out of the bedroom. This can lead to more trust in your relationship.
Ah, but where to start from? Let’s look at these amazing orgasm-producing sex positions that’ll blow your f**ing mind.
Different Types of Sex Positions
Sex position: 69
How to perform: In this position, one partner reclines, flat on their back. The other places itself on top, so they are facing away from the other person’s upper body. This makes the appearance of the number 69. (Got it?) Your private part should be lined up with your partner’s mouth, and the other way around. Instead, try it in a side-by-side position.
Benefits: This position is ideal for dual pleasure, as both partners can have oral sex all together.
Sex Position: Corkscrew
How to perform: Close to the border of a bed or table, the container should lean on their hip and forearm and press their thighs at the same time. The partner who is giving stands and the other person stands over them and enters or rubs from behind.
Benefits: By keeping their legs packed closely together during this sex position, the container enables a dense grip on the giver as they thrust.
Sex Position: Face-Off
How to Perform: The partner who is giving sits on a sofa, chair or the border of the bed, the container faces them while seated on their thighs.
Benefits: This position enables you to manage the speed and intensity of penetration, explains Needle. Plus, sitting down gives extra support, making it perfect for long sex sessions.
Sex Position: Doggy Style
How to perform: The obtainer gets on its hands and legs. Then, the person giving sex kneels behind the other person, either sitting up straight or leaning a little over them.
Benefits: This sex position enables intense penetration and trouble-free G-spot stimulation.
Sex Position: Pretzel Dip
How to Perform: The obtaining partner reclines on their side. Then, the person giving sex kneels behind the other person, and straddles the receiver’s bottom leg, while the receiver’s top leg rests on the giver’s thigh.
Benefits: With the pretzel dip position, you receive intense penetration of doggy style while still making eye contact with your partner. Vagina owners who don’t prefer a lot of penetration can, instead, have the giver rub against them, revivifying their clit.
Sex Position: Flatiron
How to Perform: The obtainer reclines facedown on the bed, placing legs straight, and hips raised to some degree. The person who is giving sex can come in from behind.
Benefits: This sex position makes a tight fit, so the person’s penis or pegging toy will feel even larger.
Sex Position: G-Whiz
How to perform: The receiver relaxes on their back with one placing on each of the person who is giving sex. The giver can come in as they would from the front.
Benefits: For vagina owners, this sex position is tremendous because raising the legs compacts the vagina and G-spot can easily be targeted.
Sex Position: Wheelbarrow
How to perform: The obtainer gets on their fours and has the person who is giving sex lift them by the pelvis. Then, the obtainer holds the giver’s waist by making use of their thighs.
Benefits: Apart from being an awesome arm exercise, this sex position can enable great penetration.
Sex Position: Magic Mountain
How to perform: The person who is giving sex sits, legs twisted, lying back on their hands using forearms. The obtainer follows the same and then moves toward the giver until contact is made.
Benefits: This position enables lots of eye contact, which can be really love-making. Plus, vagina owners can rub their clitoris against the giver’s pelvis for some extra excitement.
Conclusion – How can You choose the best sex position?
When choosing the best position for you and your partner(s), there are a lot of things to consider. What kind of simulation do you prefer? If you love to penetrate, do you want it to be depthless or intended? Are you facing any chronic pain or movability issues that might create challenges for particular positions?
If the idea of sex makes you think “Ouch,” you might need to try different, more comfortable positions, especially if you have limited mobility, chronic pain, or find penetration painful. For example, spooning can be easier on the back, and positions like the coital alignment technique or the pretzel dip can be better for lighter penetration.
Timing, mood, and what you want to get out of the experience are important too, says Needle. If you’re short on time and want a quickie, pick a position that gives you pleasure fast, like tabletop or missionary.
But Don’t Forget: Even after you’ve discovered a new position, it will be a good idea to mix it up with variation. There are so many options out there – HAVE FUN & MAKE THE MOST OF IT!
