Forget a cup of tea and catching up with Corrie. You can have a lot more fun on your sofa, even if you are over 40.
Want to spice things up in your relationship? Turns out, one of the easiest ways to add some excitement to your sex life doesn't even involve going to the bedroom to try out some of our best sex positions. That's because the sofa can provide just the right setting for couples wanting some adult fun. But we're not simply talking about reliving those teenage fumbles from years gone by. We've asked sex expert Julia Margo, co-founder of sex toy brand Hot Octopus (opens in new tab) , to share her grown-up guide to sex on the sofa. Single? Just grab one of the best vibrators (opens in new tab) instead and some extra imagination.
The good news? You don't even have to turn the TV off if you don't want to. And, it doesn't even matter how large your sofa is. So, what are you waiting for? Here's everything you need to know about having sex on the sofa:
Bend over the back of the sofa with your hands pushing against the cushions. "If you like your a sex a little bit more vigorous, this supports your body and gives you something to brace against so he can really go for it," says Julia. "You might have to adjust your height with cushions, depending on the height of the back of the sofa."
"With your partner seated, sit on his lap facing him. And try to have your legs crossed behind his back," says Julia."This is comfortable for both and you can go hands-free. Plus, he gets a great view and it is flattering for you.The on-top position is great for some women who need clitoral stimulation (opens in new tab) during penetrative sex to be able to orgasm (opens in new tab) ." Win, win.
"This one involves your partner being seated, with you sitting on top, facing away from them," says Julia. "If you're watching a sexy film together (opens in new tab) this is a very nice way of doing it! You can both see the screen, while you get to control the speed and angle."
"This one is a bit like spooning," says Julia. "Both lie on your sides spooning, but with one of your legs resting on the top of the sofa. This makes it easier for him to enter.This is a lovely lazy position that allows you to get really close and offers support for your top leg."
The great thing about sofa sex is that it can be lazy – perfect if you've had a long day. "Sometimes lazy sex while watching a totally unrelated TV show can be an intimate and low-energy way of ending a long day," says Julia. "And, if you lose track halfway through and have to watch it again later, that's what Netflix is for."
Alternatively, you could consider watching ethical porn together. "This can be very sexy as long as you choose a scene that appeals to you both," says Julia. "And, as a halfway house between those two possibilities, you could watch a classic sexy mainstream film like Nine and a Half Weeks, Last Tango In Paris or Eyes Wide Shut."
There's not any rules as such with having sex on the sofa, as each couple should make the experience personal to them. However, there are some things to watch out for, to help you get started…
While there is not that much you can do about the fabric of your sofa, covering it can make a big difference."Some people like the feeling of squeaky leather against their flesh," says Julia. "But, if that would be off-putting then you might want to cover a leather sofa with a blanket.
Whether you've only got a two-seater, or a full corner-sofa to lounge around on, sex on the sofa is still fun. "I would say the bigger the sofa the better," says Julia. "Although there is something to be said for the enforced closeness of a smaller sofa!"
Partner distracted by football? There are some tricks to help. "You can gently touch his erogenous zones (opens in new tab) ," says Julia. "But, aside from that, then suggest you play a game where you see what you can do that might "distract" him from the film or football. He may find it difficult to focus on the screen when he knows what you're up to!"
"This depends very much on the fabric the sofa is made of and how much it cost/how houseproud you are," says Julia. "If it's going to distract you, definitely put down a sheet or towel."

Last summer, I lived in a home with no AC , and during the extremely hot and humid periods, my sex life was pretty much nonexistent. Can you blame me? After all, sex is a pretty sweaty and sticky affair on its own—never mind coupled with the heat. I kissed those blissful orgasms goodbye.
I learned a valuable lesson from that experience, though: Our sex lives shouldn’t be dictated by the weather, which is why I set out to find the best sex positions to turn to when it’s hot AF outside. And today, I’m sharing my findings with you.
Below are the 10 best tested, tried-and-true sex positions for summer. These moves won’t make you work up a sweat and still give you maximum pleasure. So, the next time it feels like it’s too damn hot outside to get it on, turn to one of these to satisfy your needs as well as your partner’s.
Doggy style can feel ahh-mazing for both people, which is why it’s so popular year-round. It’s especially great for hot weather, though, because it minimizes skin-to-skin contact. Oh, and for those with a vulva, it’s a great way to target and stimulate the G-spot. This position works if you’re having sex with someone with a penis, with fingers, or a strap-on.
Have the receiving partner get down on all fours while the penetrating partner kneels behind them and enters from behind. If you want to play around with different angles, you can have the receiver place their chest flat with their arms out forward while keeping their butt in the air, or have them lay their entire body flat with the penetrating partner upright behind them. The options are endless when it comes to doggy style, so don’t be afraid to have fun and get creative.
If you’ve ever been curious about temperature play or playing around with cool sensations, now’s your chance to explore. Fill a tub with cool (not cold!) water, leaving enough room to safely keep the faucet running without spilling over. Then, have the penetrating partner sit flat with their legs extended out towards the faucet. The receiving partner will then kneel facing the faucet and away from their partner and lean slightly forward, placing their hands on either side of the tub for balance. From there, the penetrating partner can enter from behind and proceed accordingly.
If you want to take things slow and get intimate, this is the position for you—just make sure you’re in a private area where others can’t see you. Doing this during or after sunset will be ultra-romantic and give you both something to remember.
Grab a deck chair and have the penetrating partner lie back while the receiving slowly lowers themselves on top with their legs closed to create a tighter feeling and their body slightly forward so both partners are chest-to-chest. This close contact will heighten the sensations and give you both access to the erogenous zones, like the neck, chest, ears, etc. Just remember that this position is meant to be savored, and taking your time with it will help you both avoid working up a sweat.
This move gives you deep penetration and increases your chance of having an internal orgasm because of the angle the penetration is coming from, and the best part is that it requires minimal exertion from the penetrating partner. Find a flat surface—like a bed or table—and have the receiving partner lay flat on their back with their legs in the air crossed at the knees or ankles (whichever is more comfortable). From there, the penetrating partner can use their partner’s legs to pull themselves in deep.
Get creative and test your flexibility with this modified version of the fire hydrant sex position. Both you and your partner stay standing for this one, which will allow more air to circulate, so you won’t have to peel yourselves off one another when you’re done.
Find a cool countertop (or flat surface of equivalent height) and have the receiving partner bend over and rest their chest on it, then lift one leg up in the air at a 90-degree angle or as far as they’re comfortable and their flexibility allows. The giving partner will then hold their leg with one hand and place the other on their hip, enter from behind, and get to work.
If you love being on top but often work up a sweat there, you’ll love this position because it requires less movement and energy exertion. Similar to the cowgirl sex position, the receiver will be on top and the penetrating partner will lie flat on their back. What’s different about this position is the placement of both partners’ hands, arms, and legs—the penetrating partner will relax their arms above their head and the receiving will slide their legs out forward and place their hands on their partner’s shins so they’re leaning back ever-so-slightly. Then, the partner on top can swivel their hips in figure-eight motions, mimicking the movement of a video game joystick.
Being on top can be very empowering because you’re in control of the speed, angle, and depth of penetration if you’re having sex with someone with a penis or a strap-on. That said, this position also works if you’re not having penetrative sex, and can give you tons of clitoral stimulation, which is never a bad thing. Have your partner lie on their back with one leg extended and the other bent at the knee. Straddle their bent leg and lower yourself down on your knees while you’re facing away from them. From here, you can bounce up and down, grind back and forth, swivel your hips… it’s all up to you to decide. Don’t be afraid to test out different movements to find what feels good for you and your partner.
This is the perfect position to do in front of a fan or AC if you can because both partners will be able to feel it and keep their temperature down. The receiving partner will place their stomach and chest on a bed with their feet on the floor and their legs spread comfortably. The penetrating partner will stay standing behind them, lifting their partner’s legs just above the knees, and continue to do so while they enter from behind.
Anything that minimizes full-body contact and keeps you and your partner from sticking to one another is ideal for the hot weather. However, despite the minimal skin-to-skin contact and closeness of this position, it can still be really intimate because both partners can look each other in the eye while they’re going at it. The receiving partner lies on their side while the giving partner kneels directly behind their butt with one knee between their legs and leans ever-so-slightly over their partner, using their back to steady themselves as they go in. Of course, if your partner has a penis or is using a strap-on, you’ll want to be the bottom, but if you’re using fingers or having non-penetrative sex, you can be the top or bottom.
In all honesty, doggy-style sex positions are perfect for summer because they feel amazing, minimize bodily contact, and get the job done well. Have the receiving partner get down on all fours on a bed with their partner standing behind them. From there, the penetrating partner will enter from behind and proceed accordingly.
Admittedly, nailing the proper alignment can be a bit tricky with this one (take it from me). If you’re having trouble and have a sectional couch or some couch corner available, have the receiving partner get on all fours facing the couch while the penetrating partner stays standing and enters from behind. This slight tweak can make all the difference in the world, and it’ll still feel the same as it would on a bed.

Many of us think about sex destinations in pretty binary terms: We’re either doing it somewhere really risque , or we’re getting it on in a bedroom. There’s a lot of space between those two extremes, but we don’t tend to venture into it. And that’s a shame, because that middle-ground is practically begging to be explored. One particularly easy place to start? With a very sturdy chair somewhere in your house. That’s right, chair sex positions abound—and they don’t ask that much of you. You don’t have to do anything complicated or risk getting caught in the act . You’re simply invited to render your sex routine a little more exciting by relocating to a slightly different corner of your home.
The chair sex position genre is about as vast and varied as any other. Because— unsurprisingly —there are a lot of ways to do it on a chair. You can have cozy, intimate chair sex . You can have daring, acrobatic chair sex. You can have low-key, lazy chair sex . You can be energetic, loving, aggressive, laidback—and every shade of gray in between. Chair sex runs the same gamut of emotions and experiences as any other kind of sex. Because, well, it’s just sex —that happens to be taking place on a chair.
What’s nice? Though chair sex isn’t rare or exclusive, it still feels fun, and exciting, and special. It’s still a break from the norm. Chair sex is a good reminder that we don’t need to travel long distances or spend exorbitant amounts of cash to get a taste of adventure (though you can buy some cool looking furniture that is particularly sex friendly !). We can simply explore a space in our home in a brand new way. It may not be a full-on vacation, but it’s at least a little bit of an escape—and one that’s sure to be all kinds of fun.
Those who love a snuggly sex positions will surely appreciate the Armchair Lotus , which brings you face-to-face with your partner. Ask your partner to sit down on a chair (ideally, a comfy one). They should position their body so they’re sitting diagonally—with their butt planted in one corner of the chair and their knees bent over the opposite corner of the chair.
Once they’re there, you should climb on top of them, facing them. Try to sit in their lap, with your legs on either side of their body. (Because they’re sitting diagonally, you should be able to drape your legs over one of the chair’s arms.) From there, your partner can wrap their arms around you—pulling you close. And you can grind front an
