You know how in A Midsummer Night’s Dream , Shakespeare famously wrote, “And though she be but little, she is fierce”? Yeah, that basically sums up your clit. “Research shows it’s clitoral stimulation, not vaginal stimulation, that is the powerhouse of the female orgasm,” says sex therapist Ian Kerner , PhD, author of She Comes First . In other words, clit stimulation is a must when it comes to mind-blowing sex.
Relationship and sex therapist Erica Marchand , PhD, agrees. "Clitoral stimulation is a necessity for most [people] to have an orgasm. Plus, it feels really good, helps [the partner] get turned on, can help with lubrication, and in general makes for a much more pleasurable sexual experience."
It's also a must for people who usually don't orgasm from penetrative sex whether that's because they're on their periods, find penetration painful, or simply don't get off from it. "Most women don't have orgasms through penetration alone—it would be akin to a guy trying to orgasm just from someone stimulating his scrotum and the base of his penis and never going near the head. Maybe it would happen sometimes, but it would be difficult!" says Marchand.
Sex therapist Wendasha Jenkins-Hall , PhD, also adds that the clitoris is the only organ on the human body that exists solely for sexual pleasure, so it's often the key to unlocking the female orgasm.
But given that your clitoral glans—that nub you can see on the outside, which contain the most nerve endings in the clit, 8,000 to be exact—can be anywhere from 2.5 to 4 centimeters away from your vaginal entrance, lots of sex positions won’t exactly do the trick, says Kerner. That’s why WH rounded up a few expert-approved moves that will hit all the right spots. Happy experimenting!
The Table Top position provides easy access to the clitoris, says Jenkins-Hall. "Either partner can stimulate the clitoris with their hands or a toy during strokes. Also, the clitoris can be gently pushed down to receive stimulation during the stroking motion." Plus, this position ups the intimacy, as there's plenty of opportunity for eye-contact.
Do it: You don’t have to do this one on a table—any surface that hits your partner at crotch height will do. Have them enter you while you’re sitting or lying at the edge of a table, counter, or maybe even your bed.
Modifications: If the position gets a uncomfortable, Jenkins-Hall recommends placing a pillow underneath of the receiving partner.
Want to feel every inch of your partner? Try this one. "This side-lying position is great because it provides skin-to-skin contact and the clitoris is readily available," says Jenkins-Hall. "Either partner can provide stimulation to clitoris while thrusting by simply wrapping their arms toward the front since both are lying and facing the same direction."
Do it: Both of you lie on your sides, facing the same direction. You bring your knees up slightly while your partner slides up behind your pelvis and enters you from behind in the spooning position.
Modifications: Since the position may make the clitoris a little harder to reach, the receptive partner should spread or widen their legs to make it more accessible, suggests Jenkins-Hall.
You already know pretzels taste good, but contorting your bodies into one can make for explosive pleasure. Deviate from the thrusting norm, and focus on friction for maximum results. “This position is about persistently connecting and grinding against each other,” says Kerner. That grinding action will help make your clit happy.
Do it: Lie on your right side. Your partner kneels, straddling your right leg and curling your left leg around their left side. Have them enter you from here. This will provide deep penetration and easy clit access.
Modifications: Not feeling enough pressure? Have your partner lean back. “If they lean forward, it’s easier to manually stimulate you," says Kerner. "But leaning back offers the best angle to press into each other."
This romantic position is made with the added focus on your clitoris. You can give yourself a hand, or you can close the distance between your two bodies to go hands-free. “Rub yourself against them to get the stimulation you need,” says Kerner.
Do it: Your partner sits on a chair or the edge of the bed. You face them, straddling their lap. From here, you can control the angle and depth of the entry and thrusts. Plus, this position provides extra support, which is helpful for long sex seshes.
Modifications: Have them support your weight, then lean back for more clitoral contact against their body. “Think of it as them dipping you during a dance," says Kerner. "With that support, you can get a good rhythm going."
Get more bang for your buck. While this position is a natural for G-spot stimulation, it can be a winner for your clitoris, too. “When [your partner] is in a comfortable enough position, they can try to reach under you and provide clitoral stimulation,” says Kerner.
Do it: This is a modified doggy-style . To do this variation, get on your hands and knees, then, keeping your hips raised, rest your head and arms on the bed. Have your partner enter you from behind, while holding your hips for extra thrusting support. They can rub your clit from this position, or you can take matters into your own hands.
Modifications: If the thrusting makes it hard for them to keep their hand on target, have them grind against you in circles instead. Less in-and-out motion can make for a more consistent connection.
It’s an oldie and a goodie for a reason. “This can be nice if [you're] able to focus less on thrusting and more on connecting,” says Kerner. If you need a stronger touch, feel free to grab their butt and pull them deeper inside of you so that their pelvic area presses harder against your clitoris.
Do it: Lie on your back while your partner lies facedown on top of you. Have them enter you here, pressing close together so their penis or strap-on can rub up against your clit. From here, play around with the position a bit—shift the angle of your legs to change the sensation for both of you.
Modifications: Have them scoot their entire body higher up horizontally. “If they ride you a little higher, they won’t just be thrusting,” says Kerner. Instead, they’ll have to move their body down a bit each time they want to get deeper, which means their pelvis and the shaft of their penis or strap-on can massage your clitoris.
This move great if you want to have your partner stimulate your clitoris for you. “It may be hard to stimulate yourself because you’re on both hands, but they can lean over and reach under to touch your clitoris,” says Kerner.
Do it: Get on all fours. Your partner kneels behind you, with their upper body straight up or slightly draped over you. Again, this position allows for deep penetration and easy access to your clit. Either stimulate your own clit with one hand, while balancing on the other, or ask your partner to take total control.
Modifications: Ask your partner to lean over even more so their hand can stay pressed up against your clitoris , or transition from thrusting into smoother grinding motions. That way, you may be able to support yourself enough to get the job done on your own.
Feeling intimate ? This position offers the best of both worlds: ultimate closeness to your partner and plenty of clitoral stimulation. “Once you’re both comfortably positioned, you can get into a great grinding rhythm against their leg,” says Kerner.
Do it: From missionary position , without pulling out, turn together onto your sides, using your arms to support your upper bodies. From here, you get the same full-body press (good news for your clit). You can also try intertwining your legs here, for extra stimulation.
Modifications: One of you can slip a hand down south to get the most out of this position. “Since you’re on your sides, you have enough support to easily provide some manual stimulation,” says Kerner.
Opening up is a good thing when you’re trying to get off. “When your vulva is very exposed, there’s a lot of clitoral and inner labial stimulation,” says Kerner. Go to town with your hands, and focus on the visual of them sliding in and out of you if you need some erotic fuel.
Do it: Lie back with your legs raised all the way up and your ankles crossed behind your own head. Have your partner enter you from a missionary position.
Modifications: Do away with the hand action. Ask your partner to reposition their body a bit higher so that their pelvis is right against your clitoris, says Kerner.
Does it look like the dirty version of a move you’d do in barre class? Yes. Does it provide awesome sensations for your nether regions? Absolutely. Another perk Marchand points out: this position is perfect for watching. "The pinball wizard is great for being able to watch your partner do their thing! And also for the potential for G-spot stimulation, depending on the angle of thrusting, as well as for manual clitoral stimulation by either partner." The key here is getting really close, then changing up the direction of your movements. Instead of regular thrusting, have your partner move your body up and down against theirs.
Do it: Get into a partial bridge pose, with your weight resting on your shoulders. Your partner enters you from a kneeling position. You can adjust your height by lifting your hips higher, or going up on your tip-toes. You can also try throwing one leg up against their shoulder for deeper penetration.
Modifications: Stabilize yourself (you may have to come down from the balls of your feet unless your partner can support you with one hand), and have them touch your clitoris just the way you like. “If [they] have the strength for it, that could definitely work,” says Kerner. You can also use pillows for support, Marchand adds. "To make clitoral stimulation easier in this position, I'd add a stack of pillows or a foam support underneath your partner, so both participants can relax more and focus less on holding the other up and more on their movements and consistency of clitoral stimulation."
If you need long-lasting clitoral stimulation, you can settle into this comfortable position and stay a while. Get extra-close, and grind against your partner, says Kerner: “It’s really about their pelvis and your clitoris making contact.”
Do it: Your partner sits cross-legged, and you sit on their lap facing them. Wrap your legs around them and hug each other for support. Rather than thrusting, try rocking to really make the most of this position.
Modifications: Switch up your movements, says Kerner. Try rubbing up and down against them or rolling your hips in mini circles until you find what feels best.
This easy transition from missionary may not seem like a clitoris-pleaser, but a tweak makes it work. “Have them ride high and focus on pressing down on your body,” says Kerner. “It’s a great position for a lot of contact and grinding.”
Do it: From missionary position, raise your legs and extend them straight out, forming a “V” shape. You can also try grabbing your ankles for stability, and an added stretch.
Modifications: Instead of having them do all the work, slip your arms around their back, hold them close to you, and rub your body against theirs. The added pressure might be just what you need to reach the big O.

The clitoris has around 8,000 nerve endings—roughly double the number in a penis.
If your partner has a vulva, they might enjoy penetrative sex, but you’ll need to stimulate the clitoris to take them over the edge. A 2017 study published in the journal Sex and Marital Therapy found that only 18% of women can orgasm from vaginal penetration alone. The rest either require or prefer clitoral stimulation to orgasm during intercourse.
The clitoris has around 8,000 nerve endings , which is roughly double the number in a penis. In her book Come As You Are , sex researcher Emily Nagoski writes that the clitoris is the “Grand Central Station of erotic sensation.” But despite its critical role in pleasure and arousal, researchers haven’t always given the clitoris the attention it deserves. The clitoris was omitted from some early medical textbooks. We didn’t even have a 3D model of the clitoris until 2009 . Thankfully, we now know more about its structure than ever before, and you can use this knowledge to stimulate the clitoris.
The clitoris is like an iceberg—it’s larger than you think. There’s a tiny nub at the top of a vulva where the inner labia meet (that’s the glans), but the majority of the clitoris is actually underneath the skin . The full clitoris is shaped kind of like a wishbone that runs along the sides of the vulva and extends up to five inches inside the body. You may have noticed your partner’s vulva puffs up before or during sex. That’s because the clitoris is composed of erectile tissue that swells during arousal, just like the penis.
Because the clitoris is both an internal and external structure, some researchers believe that “ G-spot orgasms ” don’t exist —they’re actually internal clitoral orgasms. For this piece, however, we’re going to focus on the parts of the clitoris that you can access externally.
Even though the clitoris is a highly erogenous zone , it’s not a magic button. You can’t just poke it and expect your partner to moan in ecstasy. For the best clitoral stimulation, you need to stay consistent and pay attention to your partner’s feedback.
Before you try something new, you should ask your partner to tell you or show you what they like. But in the event they’re not sure exactly what feels great (or they’re in the mood to explore), here are some tips from sex experts about how to go about stimulating the clitoris.
The most sensitive part of the clitoris is located where the labia meet, but it can be hard to find the right spot, especially if you’re in low lighting. “The easiest way to find the clit by touch is by asking your partner to place your fingers on it—there’s no shame in that,” explains Allison Moon, sex educator and author of Girl Sex 101 . “Some clits are more prominent than others. It’s better to ask than to diddle a part that definitely isn’t it.”
If you’re not sure where to start, cup your partner’s vulva and let them control the movement and pressure. “Create a firm base with your palm that your partner can hump or grind against,” Moon says. “Ask them to move their hips against your hand to demonstrate the kind of motion that feels good to them.”
While some people love direct clitoral stimulation on the glans, others might find it’s too intense. If your partner has a particularly sensitive clitoris, Moon recommends stimulating the area around the glans by stroking the clitoral hood or either side of the clitoral shaft.
“Imagine the clit has a clock on it, where the top point, closest to their bellybutton, is twelve, and the spot closest to their vaginal opening is six,” says sex-hacker and sexpert Kenneth Play . “ Move along their clit around the clock with a finger or sex toy , starting from twelve and going in a circle slowly, asking them to let you know which spot feels the best.”
Once you find the right location, try different ways of touching it, Play explains. “The things you can vary are pressure, friction, speed, and angle,” he says. You can tell them to make a noise, squeeze your hand, or say something when it feels particularly good.
As the adage goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” The most common frustrating thing men do is change things up too much, says Play. Once you find what works, keep doing it. “You don’t need a million different tricks, you just need to find the thing they like, and consistently repeat it,” he says. “Let it build up enough to spill over.”
“Put your fingers in a peace sign and with lots of lube , slide them up and down on the inside of their outer lips, around the inner lips,” explains Anne Louise Burdett, a certified Sex Educator and CEO of TOCA , an organic CBD line of intimacy lubricants. “Here you are stimulating the extended internal structure of the clitoris. This is erectile tissue that becomes highly sensitive when engorged, making the area hotter, filled with blood and pulsing.” Make sure that you use plenty of lube; this does not feel pleasurable without it.
“Slide or bring the heel of your hand to the hood of their clitoris,” Burdett says. Have your partner breathe and ask them if they want more or less pressure. “You may want to repeat this, pulse, or slide.” You can also apply pressure with other things besides your hands, including sex toys .
“Spread your fingers and lay them flat over your partner’s outer labia, and then alternate pressure between your fingers,” Burdett says. As always, explore pressure and rhythm, and ask your partner what feels best. “Here you are stimulating the clitoral bulbs under the outer labia, which
