Product Information

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 — and ideally, lubricated! — swirls, circles, and strokes is the easiest way to up your game as a lover. Just ask your partner what they like best!

There's a reason why this ancient text has endured as a source for erotic pleasure for centuries. Something as simple as changing where you place your legs or your partner's bum can add excitement to your sex life and hit pleasure points you didn't even know existed! The Kama Sutra, written by Indian philosopher Vatsyayana, has garnered a lot of attention for acting as a guidebook to what seems like every sex position ever—but the ancient Sanskrit text is so much more than a reference book for intricate genital gymnastics. Shower sex is meant to be a hands-on activity, clearly — so the Soap’n’Grope 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. It’s easily the dirtiest way to have good, clean fun. This position is basically beach sex 101: Just pull your swimsuit to the side and get busy. For this on-your-feet move, find a secluded, wind-protected area, lean up against a sturdy support, and enjoy some intimate time in the sun. 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.We recommend the Cowgirl/Cowboy for the analfirst-timer, since the receiving partner controls the pace and depth of penetration. You’re also face-to-face with your partner, allowing for lots of intimacy as well as easy communication.

Keeping beach sex under wraps can make it even hotter. Doing it under a blanket is best if you try a simple but sexy spooning position and wrap your arms around each other. Just remember to wait until the beach clears out for the day! Burton "wanted to create a fantasy for his English-speaking audience by portraying people of the East as hypersexual and unchanging, without history," notes Mitra. But, she adds, "Unfortunately, people still use these reductive, racist ideas to think about Indian sexuality in the past and present." Mixing things up keeps “me time” interesting. For Opening Up, sit on a chair with your ankles wound around the legs, opening up your legs and slipping a hand in between. Bracing your legs against the chair gives you plenty of leverage and support as you experience some new, spine-tingling sensations. Looking for a summer-friendly sex moves or two? Sneak off to a private place and pull up your skirt for this simple move, where the receiving partner leans over a table or bed and the penetrating partner enters from behind. You don’t even have to take off your swimsuit top.

X Marks the Spot

Entering into the kinky portion of our list, Hands Behind Ankles is a position that requires a comfortable pair of cuffs, a good deal of flexibility, and some pre-game discussion. Make sure the partner being cuffed is comfortable, sort 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 plan out some cozy aftercare.
