Little Black Book of Sex Positions

Product Information

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. How to do it: This is a modified doggy style position. The receiver gets on their hands and knees, then, keeping hips raised, rests their head and arms on the bed. The giver can enter from behind.

Similar to reverse cowgirl, the rider involves the woman straddling the man while facing away from him. She then leans forward and while balancing herself on his knees slides up and down. The man can also control penetration by holding onto the woman’s waist. The man sits with his weight on one arm (the other is free to fondle) and his legs stretched out. The woman sits on top of him and leans forward. She can then support herself with her arms, while being in full control of the movement and penetration. This position is quite challenging; it requires a great deal of strength and balance from the woman.

Queen Takes King

While most people think the Kama Sutra is all about sex, it's actually about the philosophy and theory of love. It covers topics including finding a life partner, flirting and the nature of love. The man sits on the edge of the bed with his feet on the floor while the woman crouches (like a frog) on his lap. She can then move up and down to control the penetration, while pressing on his thighs for support.

Oh, and you need to practice to get good at it. You need to practice a lot. Does This Stuff Really Work? Why: Prolonged slow sex will build your arousal. Shallow thrusts can also stimulate the nerve endings in the head of their penis (if a sexual partner has one). The man leans against a wall while lifting the woman off the floor and supporting her with his hands under her bottom. The woman can grip the man’s waist with her thighs.Sure, ~technically~ you’re not face to face when you do it doggy style, but Laino has a hot workaround: Use a mirror. "Looking in a mirror...can aid in the presence of the sexual experience, as well as the eroticism and pleasure," she says. "There is also a very real trust emotion that comes from doing this as the person in the 'doggy' position is in a passive, vulnerable position." Whether you and your S.O. engage in a more aggressive or gentle tempo, both "fall in line with Kama Sutra as they are allowing for different types of pleasure-giving and receiving to and for each other," Laino says. If you're feeling especially adventurous, try the Stand and Deliver. It's a Kama Sutra–approved move that's good for shallow penetration as is. If you're the person on the receiving end and you're worried about falling when things get sweaty, Engle says to lean on a table or a chair for support. Make it hotter: Have the giver spin around into missionary style to face the receiver while trying to stay inserted. Then, switch positions, this time with the receiver on top and facing away. Any pregnant woman will appreciate the Rear-Entry Side Position, a nice relaxing way to have a roll in the hay. It’s also just one of the snuggliest positions around for all kinds of bodies — and excellent for morning sex. Have the penetrating partner enter from behind and snuggle up close with your knees touching, with your hands free to hold one another or play with other erogenous areas along the way.

The woman lies right on the edge of the bed with just her feet touching the mattress for support. She then balances on the floor with her left arm. The man stands astride her left leg and raises her right leg with his hands. Only suitable for extremely strong and flexible men – he makes a bridge, while the woman straddles him. She can then move up and down by pushing off the floor with her feet – not for the faint-hearted!Why: For vulva owners, this change in angle helps target the G-spot even more, and gives more control over the speed and depth of thrusts. Plus, giving partners have easy access to the clitoris.
