Kama Sutra: 100 Sex Positions With Photos And Explanations

Product Information

Lotus is anothergreat opportunity for clitoral stimulation,” says Alden. “This position can be difficult to get into a groove with and find balance, but definitelyworth a try due to the closeness and heat that comes with it.” Getting oral with your legs closed turns arousal up to 11. This position puts all the pressure right where you want it, so if an intense orgasm is what you’re after, you’ll want to give it a try. 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. Each of these positions has its own unique benefits, and allows you to find pleasure in new ways. It's up to you to try them to find the ones that suit you best and that you want to repeat. Of course you can take these positions and modify them as you wish, because in love nothing is fixed and everything is possible! The penis may not provide sufficient stimulation to the clitoris for many women to reach orgasm. Additionally, the man is resting on his arms and cannot use his hands for additional clitoral stimulation. (If this is a problem, the woman may want to consider providing that additional stimulation herself.)

An interpretation of doggy style for one? Yes, please! Slip a pillow or two under your stomach and hips for support and use your hands or a toy (or both!) to light things up. But as in sex we also like to keep things fresh, there are moments and situations where roles are reversed and the dominant becomes dominated and vice versa. This can happen during the same session: each partner experiences a new role and new exciting sensations. To do dancer, stand up facing one another. Have your partner grab one of your legs and wrap it around their torso. “This position is great for intimacy and closeness,” says couples therapist Adrienne Alden. “It allows for the shaft of the penis to rub up against the clitoris.” (Sex ed 101 — that’s a good thing.) 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. This is the one time when fumbling in the end zone is actually a good thing. This position is all hands in the best way — between the legs, sliding down the belly, all over the chest, etc. Pull your partner close and enjoy.

Wide Receiver

From the bedroom to the beach, the reverse cowgirl position translates perfectly. It’s another one that protects the receiving partner from getting sand all over, while giving the penetrating partner the hottest view from behind.

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. Lazy lovers, we see you and hear you. Particularly on slow mornings, there are few things that hit like a morning tussle with your partner. Spooning (yes, like the cuddling position) can easily become a top-10 favorite sex position when the penetrating partner steps up into the big spoon role and enters the partner being penetrated from behind. Hands remain free for touch and clitoral stimulation and mouth remains free for kisses and dirty talk. You could surprise your partner with your favourite position from the list. Or perhaps you prefer to look through these positions with your partner, to warm up the atmosphere and raise the temperature?

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. Getting the receiving partner on top is a great way to give them a boost of control (and to give the penetrating partner a hell of a view). In the Seated Scissors position, the partner recieving can straddle the penetrating partner with one leg between theirs and one outside their hip, allowing some extra angles and creative ranges of motion while also giving some additional grinding options for clitoral stimulation. 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!

The giving partner stands behind the receiving partner as they face the same direction. The receiving partner bends over and spreads their legs slightly to allow for penetration. Climb on top of your partner while they’re sitting with their legs straight ahead. This is a great one for serious friction, deep penetration and feeling intimate and close — a winner all-around. “Instead of bouncing up and down, try grinding simultaneously,” says Nelson. “They can also put their hand on your butt for more assertive and deeper penetration.” For that sweeping-off-the-countertop (or desk) hot sex moment that you’ve totally fantasized about, the Countertop sex position can utilize just about any flat surface that is the right height for the 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. Women are more likely to give in to “spectatoring” rather than enjoying the experience while in this position. 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) makes this position is great for people with vulvas to get the friction they really want.Of course, orgasm is not the goal of sex, but that doesn’t mean we should give up trying to have the best, most mind-blowing sex possible. We just need to get a little creative with our positions and technique to ensure that the right parts are getting stimulation at the right time (and for the right amount of time). Bring your fantasy to life in this hotter-than-hot standing move. If the receiving partner is the one wearing the heels, they’ll be at the exact right height for deep penetration when they lean over a bed or table. When you’re in the air, try to find your center of gravity for balance. You can work with your partner to make sure you’re comfortable while suspended.
