Different Sex Positions with Names and Tips

Whether you and your partner are position-pros working your way through the Karma Sutra or creatures of comfort (preferring to keep things consistent in the bedroom), there are some positions that every couple needs to try at least once. From the sensual classics to the body-defying moves, welcome to our official bucket list of sex positions and tips that every couple should try in their relationship.

Read on to learn about:

Easy Sex Positions: Missionary

The missionary position is probably the first sex position that comes into your mind when it comes to sexual intercourse. This is a great position to try if you are new to sex and want to make sure it goes right the first time. In this position, the woman lies on her back, spreads her legs and the man enters her from above. Easy to execute and just as pleasurable as the other sex positions on this list, the missionary position is certainly a great place to start.

Best Sex Positions For Men: Doggy Style

This is one of the most popular positions and for very good reasons. The woman kneels on all fours with her legs parted, while her partner kneels directly behind her and enters from behind. Men enjoy this position as they feel in control and primal, while women can benefit from the intensity of the position and possible G-spot stimulation. Women can also easily use one hand to stimulate their own clitoris in this position with or without a sex toy as an aid.

Fun Sex Positions: The Lap Dance

This position requires the use of a chair. Whether you choose an armchair, dining chair, or office chair, anything that can support both you and your partner will suffice. Have the man sit on the chair while the woman straddles him and takes control. This position can be even sexier if both partners leave their clothes on, making it feel more spontaneous and naughty! This is a great one for women who want to try out being more dominant during sex; as they are in full control of the angle, depth, and speed of each movement. The man is also in a great position to explore his partner’s body. With two free hands, he can massage her breasts or hold on to her butt as she thrusts, for a pleasurable sensation.

Unique Positions for Sex: The Standing Quickie

Having sex standing up is extremely passionate and because of this, both partners usually find it easy to climax quickly – hence the name. The woman stands with her back to the wall and the man stands in front of her. It helps if there is a table or stool nearby that she can rest one leg on as penetration is easier when her legs are slightly parted. The man should soften his knees for added support and take control of the thrusting. This is a great position for spontaneous sex when you both get in from work or when you are out and fancy a secret quickie!

Unusual Sex Positions: The Bridge

A variation on the traditional missionary position, The Bridge requires a bit more flexibility from the woman but with great results! From the missionary position, the man should sit up so that he’s sitting on his ankles while the woman stays on her back with her feet flat on the floor with her hips raised towards the ceiling into a low bridge position. This will allow him to enter her in a perfect position. The new angle of penetration can create intense stimulation for her, plus it has the added benefit of toning her thighs and buttocks at the same time. Win-win!

Best Sex Positions for Couples: Sixty-Nine

Oral sex and foreplay shouldn’t just be seen as a side-order to sexual intercourse. Handled right, it can be just as engaging, or even more engaging, than the main event. In this position, the man usually lies on his back while the woman sits on his face. Then both couples give each other oral sex. It’s easy to execute and incredibly satisfying, allowing you to give and receive pleasure at the same time. It’s also one of the easiest ways to make sure you both have an orgasm at the same time.

Sex Positions for Lazy People: Spooning

If you are feeling unfit or lazy but still want to have sex, then spooning could be the perfect sex position for you. In the spooning position, the woman lies in bed on her side while the man enters her from behind. Due to the position, it allows for deep penetration. Additionally, thanks to its close skin-to-skin contact, as well as the easy ability for the man to touch his partner’s breasts, it can be incredibly intimate and satisfying. You can spice this position up even further if you introduce lubricant into the bedroom.

Top Sex Positions For Women: Cowgirl

This is another position where the woman is in the dominant role and can really take control. The man lies on his back with legs together, while she kneels over and then lowers herself down onto him. Some of the weight can be taken off her, by either leaning back slightly towards his thighs or leaning forward and using her arms for support. As the woman is in control, she can help to delay his climax by speeding up or slowing down accordingly and can also increase the intensity of her own orgasm at the same time.

Try Different Types of Sex Positions to Find Out What You Like

Everyone is different. This truism certainly applies to the world of sexual intercourse as well. That’s why it is essential to try out several different sex positions in the course of a sexual encounter to figure out what you like. And it’s not just about you! What might not turn you on might be just the ticket for your partner. Communicate honestly, figure out what the other person likes, and come to a common understanding to achieve better orgasms together.
