The Best Sex Positions

“The sensual spoon. Lie on your side with your guy behind you. Keep both of your torsos in this doze pose and lift your top leg. Have him shift his lower body into a half-kneeling position, entering you from behind.”

— Korin Miller, cosmopolitan.com

“Tug of war. Odds are, you're still a little sleepy first-thing. This move lets you kick back while getting an amazing pleasure boost. Have him sit cross-legged on the bed before you straddle him. Lower yourself onto his penis and wrap your legs around his back. As you're sitting face-to-face, grab e…”

“The seated scissors. This position allows the woman to have the control in order to determine the depth and angle of penetration as well as how much clitoral stimulation she gets. With the man lying flat on his back and his knees bent, she straddles him with one leg to the side of his hip and the ot…”

“Face to face anal. This position is preferred if you are looking for extra intimacy during the act. Start with your partner sitting as you mount his lap, face-to-face. Once again — as the partner on top, you can control depth of penetration to stay comfy. Face-to-face anal has the added bonus of ext…”

“Book ends. Each partner should be on their knees, facing one another in this sex position. As the man, crouch a little lower than your girlfriend so that you can slip inside her. From here, raise yourself back up like you were and start thrusting. This position works best if you’re roughly the same…”

“The exposed eagle. In this position, have your boyfriend sit down on the bed with his legs pointed straight in front of him. Lay on his thighs so that your pelvises are aligned, and his feet are on either side of your head. With your thighs on either side of his hips, bend your legs so that your fee…”

“The One-Legged Stork. Raise just one leg so it rests on his torso while keeping the other flat on the bed. This position has two things going for it: easy thrusting, plus now there's room for you (or him) to reach down and manually stimulate your clitoris for added kicks.”

— Judy Dutton, redbookmag.com

“Lotus Lovin'. In lotus position, the man is seated and the woman kneels on his lap, or sits and wraps her legs around him in a position that, apparently, resembles a lotus flower. A kinky lotus flower... but I digress.”

— Kimberly Liu, kinkly.com

“Racy embrace. The best way to indulge into a smoldering lip-lock along with relishing passionate lovemaking moments with your guy! While your partner sits relaxed on the bed with his legs crossed, take him by surprise and jump onto his lap. Wrap your legs tightly around his waist and taking the cont…”

“The Bedlock. The Bedlock modifies the traditional missionary position and improves it. The male takes his position by kneeling down on the bed while his partner lays down flat with her legs wrapped around him. Pulling up her hips to his crotch, the man enters inside while she arches her back and loc…”

“Anvil. To get set up in the anvil position, you need to lie on your back with your legs in the air. Your man will be kneeling and will then enter you. Next, he needs to start leaning over you. Doing this will push your legs further and further backwards creating a feeling of pressure where you man i…”

“Turtle. The turtle is another awesome version of doggy style that should be on everyone's top 10 list of sex positions. Getting set up in the turtle sex position is easy and similar to the leapfrog position. You will start on your hands and knees with your man on his knees behind you. You will then…”

“Edge of Heaven. The man sits on the edge of the bed, with his legs down on the floor. Then you shuffle into his lap and onto him, with your legs resting on the bed, while he either holds your hands to stop you tipping backwards. Now you can start moving as fast or as slowly as you want.”

— Charlotte Gunn, goodtoknow.co.uk

“Speed bump. You lie out flat on your stomach with a cushion under your belly and pelvic area. He lies on top of you, you spread your legs and he enters you, you'll be orgasming for England before you know it!”

— Charlotte Gunn, goodtoknow.co.uk

“The spider. Start with her sitting facing and astride him. The the woman lies back, followed by the man until each partner's head in between the other's legs. Then each partner can bring their knees up and hold onto the other's legs. Now all you need to do is slow, wiggling movements to keep each ot…”

“Face to face. You basically sit opposite each other and then you slide into his lap and sit on top of him. You then join your legs behind him and he put his feet together to provide a kind of cradle for you. You then just rock on him.”

— Charlotte Gunn, goodtoknow.co.uk

“Modified Doggy. This simple variation on doggy style can bring you closer, both literally and figuratively. Lie flat on your stomach and have your partner position themselves between your legs to enter from behind, or reach down with their hand. You’ll get full-body contact, and an easy turn of your…”

“Wraparound. Change things up from missionary position by wrapping your legs around your partner’s back so you can draw them in deeper. Not knowing where one of you ends and the other begins can translate into sex so good, you’re tempted to walk down the street with a megaphone and broadcast a play-b…”

“Sideways Straddle. This is a somewhat complicated position to get into, but it’s well worth the effort! You may want to practice fully clothed to get a sense of where all of your limbs go before attempting it naked. Have him lie on his back with both of his feet flat on the ground. Crouch over him,…”

“Girl on top. Have him lie on his back. Climb on top, with one leg on either side of his torso. It’s usually better to focus more on rocking your body back and forth, rather than trying to bob up and down. You can also try grinding your pelvis in slow circles or in a figure-eight motion.”

— Vanessa Marin, bustle.com

“The Sidewinder. Here you get all the benefits of Spooning plus major eye contact and kissing with both of you having your hands free to pull each other closer. Lay down facing each other on your sides and lift your upper leg to let him enter you. Then wrap your leg tightly around his and use your mu…”

“The Butterfly. The Butterfly is pretty simple, but really hot. You lie back on the edge of the bed while he stands or kneels next to it to enter you. Practically every inch of your body is on display in this position, and, without a doubt, he'll think it's incredibly sexy. He's definitely in the dom…”

“Angled Missionary. He's on top just like standard Missionary, but angled about 45 degrees to the side. You'll both benefit from an entirely new sensation, but he'll get way more friction while still being able to enjoy closeness with you. Want to make this even hotter? Try squeezing your pelvic floo…”

— Diana V., yourtango.com

“The Pretzel. First, lay down on your side. Leave your bottom leg flat and outstretched while raising your top leg and wrapping it around his waist. He will kneel, straddling your bottom leg, and enter you. He can also use his hand to support your raised leg while thrusting. The angle of your bodies…”

“Missionary. This standard go-to is a favorite because it puts him in control, while still being intimate: your hips are free to do all the work, and you can lock lips and eyes with ease. And while he's in the power position on top of you, the two of you can set the pace together. If you want him to…”

— Diana V., yourtango.com

“The spork. If you like the Spoon position, you'll love the Spork. Instead of you both lying on your sides, you’ll stay flat on your back while your guy positions his body at a 90-degree angle in between your legs. He gets to take the reins on this one, and he’ll be rewarded with an awesome view of y…”

“David Copperfield. The magic here is all in the pillow, placed strategically under your butt. Doing so raises your pelvis to allow a guy to orally stimulate you in the best way possible.”

— Kenny Thapoung, womenshealthmag.com

“X position. This is the only "ex" you'll be glad to run into. Also known as the "Crisscross," this position requires slow, intimate movement. Just lie back and have your guy sit facing you, with your legs crossing over each other to form an X (see what we did there?). Help him go deeper by holding h…”

“The countertop. It's when the woman is lying on her back on the counter or table while he enters standing. It's rough. There's pushing aside of papers, pepper shakers, which add to the sense of urgency and inappropriateness. It's easy to maneuver and move the woman to slide along the counter. There…”

“The butterfly position. With the woman on her back and her hips on the edge of the bed, the man penetrates her while standing. She then puts her legs over his shoulders and tilts her hips slightly upward. This gives a wonderful angle for cervical stimulation, with deep penetration that can produce s…”
