In the wonderful world of sex and sex positions, there’s getting down and then there’s getting down . For connoisseurs of a good sensual romp — we’re talking about our true believers, scholars and geeks when it comes to sex and sexuality — there’s always a sexy new position, a new sensation or experience to try out with your partners for any occasion (some new sex toys can mix things up too). There’s plenty of ways to make sure that no two nights in are exactly the same, whether you’re playing solo, with a partner or with more than one partner.
Don’t get us wrong; we’re always down for a casual quickie or some moderately augmented missionary to give a quick O, but why not branch out and take things to a whole new level? After all, your sex life is a living, breathing and evolving thing that deserves a bit of TLC to keep you and your partner(s) entertained and satisfied through the years. Sometimes all it takes is a brand-spanking-new position to get the party started and to reignite some important conversations about what feels best in the act. (It’s okay if those things change or if you just want to test something out!) Speaking of spankings, you can throw one of those in for good measure too. You know, if that’s what you’re into.
We also know you’re busy and you don’t want to waste that precious alone time researching impossible pretzel-like contortions to try out (though workout recovery can double as sex recovery if your back is paying for your creativity and ambition in the bedroom ).
To help, we’ve compiled 69 fun positions we think you should try ASAP (along with some sweet and guaranteed-to-please) to inject some more creativity into your sex life. Ironically, good old-fashioned 69 isn’t on this list — but we’ve got a separate run-down of different ways to 69, too .
So here you go: 69 ( Nice) sex positions to try out. Be safe, be smart and have fun!
A version of this story was originally published in July 2016.
The pressure and friction of Coital Alignment Technique (CAT) positions elevate being face-to-face with your partner beyond missionary. The recieving partner lays back and the penetrating partner enters from above, offering the benefit of getting some grinding clitoral stimulation along with some internal stimulation that you can control with shallow or deeper thrusts.
Butt-lovers rejoice! A move that helps both the penetrating and recieving partner play around with the back door, particularly if your partner has expressed interest in playing around with anal penetration in a less-intimidating way. For added fun, you can add some toys (a good lube is your best friend here!) for something extra powerful.
Another way to modify missionary with a bit more power, the Butterfly sex position involves having the recieving partner lay back on a slightly elevated surface (bed, table, countertop, go off!) tilting their hips upward and offering cervical stimulation and free hands for clitoral activities.
For that sweeping-off-the-countertop (or desk) hot sex moment that you’ve totally fantasized about, this position can utilize just about any flat surface that is the right height for your penetrating partner. Take turns controlling the depth of penetration (the receiving partner can adjust their legs at their partners shoulders as well) and you’ll both be seeing stars.
Another one that is excellent for any flat surface, the sweet, wide-open energy of this position is totally erotic. Again, the penetrating partner can adjust depth depending on how they support the recieving partners legs and it also gives access to other erogenous zones down the legs and feet, for folks who are into that.
You’re never too cool for hand stuff. This is your periodic reminder that the vast majority of people with vulvas can’t orgasm from penetration alone (which is totally cool and fine — and orgasm isn’t the point of good sex anyway!) buhuhut if you are looking to help your partner get off, keeping your hands free to give their clitoris some love is an expert move.
The clit is a super sensitive part of the body with more than 8,000 nerve endings in the tip alone, so giving it some gentle — lubricated, ideally! — swirls, circles and strokes (just ask what your partner likes best) is the easiest way to up your game as a lover.
Getting your penetratee partner eon top is a great way to give them a boost of control (and to give the penetrating partner a hell of a view). In this position, the partner recieving can straddle the penetrating partner with one leg between his and one outside his hip, allowing some extra angles and creative ranges of motion while also giving some additional grinding options for clitoral stimulation. Score!
If you don’t have a cool penis ring on hand, never fear! This is the organic way to get that same intense reaction for partners with penises. Simply form a ring with your thumb and forefinger around the base of the penis, pull down so the skin of the shaft is taught and enjoy the increased sensitivity and sensations that follow.If you can keep your hand there during intercourse, it’s a sure way to level-up penetrative sex.
Entering into the kinky portion of our list, this is a position that you’ll want a comfortable pair of cuffs , a good deal of flexibility and some pre-game discussio n: make sure the partner being cuffed is comfortable, you’ve sorted out safe words (a red, yellow, green stoplight system is cool but stopping when you hear “stop” is always a good place to start, NGL) and that you’ve got some cozy aftercare planned .
Now on to the position: Sort of a Yoga meets hogtie move (unless you get a set up of cuffs that accomodate ankles, I suppose), you’ll want to have the partner being penetrated/cuffed lie down with their belly to the floor and bend their legs up. Reaching back for their feet, attach the cuffs around the wrists so they sit behind their ankles. With a little careful maneuvering, have the penetrating partner slide in between your back and ankles. (Or, when in doubt, bust out a toy!) With the penetrated partner’s hips open, the stretch also brings a bit of extra blood to your pelvis allowing for a highly stimulating experience.
Standing sex positions can be an incredibly hot way to change things up if you and your partner find yourself in the same old positions time and time again. It feels intuitive for the partner who wants to be cuffed to also be partner recieving — but not a requirement necessarily! As long as the partner recieving can adjust their leg (slung around the waist, butt or thigh is a good place to start — but the un-cuffed partner should help support to get the optimal angle).
Just check in and make sure restraints aren’t too tight and that you switch things up when and if your cuffed partner gets tired (it happens!). Also: A solid pair of over the door cuffs ( these from Unbound are comfy and cute !) will be your best friend here.
Whether you’re flying solo or are showing your partner some of what you like, a solid go-to masturbation position (like grinding on a firm pillow or a toy) can be an excellent way to heighten pleasure. Straddling said pillow (or your lover’s thigh, go off), this position is great for people with vulvas to get the friction they really want.
Maybe one of the first positions you’d think to try when breaking out the restraints, this is your standard missionary sex with some added bondage. You’ll want to restrain your partner to a bed (check under-mattress restraint sets or headboard-friendly cuffs if you’re looking for beginner-friendly gear) and approach missionary as you normally would .
There are plenty of ways to embrace the power play here, so take some time to talk to one another about what would feel the most exciting (and don’t hesitate to troubleshoot and adjust as you go, especially if its your first time adding this kind of play to your sex life!)
You may know this position by its other less SFW name — “face sitting” — but Queening is when a partner recieves oral stimulation while resting on or above your partner’s mouth. Adding restraint play to this is yet another way to up the sensation and intensity of the scene/sexual encounter, allowing the receiving partner to really own the power of the pose (as pictured here) or offering an equally sexy subversion if you switch places.
.your weight can mostly held by your knees and thighs, so don’t get too wound up about “crushing” your partner — just make sure they feel comfortable communicating how much pressure is good from you on top!
Something that almost always seems like a better idea in theory? Shower sex . It’s ideal for early morning quickies and keeping things clean but depending on the shape of your shower and tub and the tendancy for people to walk in while you’re trying to use the bathroom (oops) can sometimes throw you for a loop. But if you lock your door, schedule some quiet time, I promise it is do-able.
One position is ideal if you have a bench or a wider rim of your tub — have the penatrating partner keep both legs on the ground (they do need to keep their balance game together here!) while the partner being penetrated takes them from the front, lifting one leg up to wrap around their partner or to rest on the side of the tub. Just add water.
Shower sex is meant to be a hands-on activity, clearly — so this variation of a standing position allows the penetrating partner to do a bit more exploring. The partner being penetrated should brace themselves on an available wall as the penetrating partner enters from behind. Easily making it the dirtiest way to have good, clean fun.
If you partner isn’t a bath person, this position may change their mind.
