Sex Position: Missionary



Also known as: The Matrimonial

Benefits: We know this one isn't necessarily new to lots of guys, but there's something sort of kinky about doin' it in the most vanilla position of all. Plus, you get lots of eye and body contact.

Technique: The most commonly used position in the world, missionary is an especially intimate position because it allows for face-to-face contact. The penetrating partner likes it because they can control penetration depth and speed of thrusting. The receiving partner enjoys feeling the giver’s weight on their body and the maximum skin-to-skin contact. Note that this position can make it more difficult to hold off ejaculation because of the intense friction and deep thrusting. To lengthen lovemaking, start there, then switch to a position that maintains clitoral pressure without so much pelvic back and forth.

Sex Position: 69




Also known as: Inverted 69, Over and Under

Benefits: Simultaneous oral pleasure.

Technique: When one partner is on top in 69, they can control the intensity of oral stimulation on their genitals by lifting or pressing their pelvis. From this position, it's easy for each person to work their finger magic on their partner’s vagina or perineum, the sensitive area just below your testicles.

Also try: Roll over onto your sides in the 69 sex position.

Hot tip: Place a cup of warm tea and an ice cube on the nightstand near the bed. You can alternate between placing the ice cube and then the tea in your mouth while performing oral sex to add an element of temperature play.

Sex Position: Classic Cowgirl




How to do it: The giver lies on their back. The receiving partner straddles them, sitting on them like they're riding a horse. The receiving partner's knees and shins are pressed to the bed.

Why it’s good: The receiver gets to take control. They can also tilt back or forward, controlling the depth of penetration and potential G-spot stimulation. Classic cowgirl is also great if the giver's penis is on the smaller side.

Sex Position: Stairway to Heaven




Also known as: Step Lively

Benefits: Good hand holds for the receiving partner, and you don't have to wait until you reach the bedroom.

Technique: This is a variation on The Hot Seat with the receiver sitting on top of their partner while the giver sits on one of the stairs of a staircase. Stairs offer good seating possibilities, and a hand rail for extra support and leverage.

Hot tip: For a safer experience, try this at the bottom of the steps rather than at the top.

Sex Position: Closed for Business




Benefits: A variation of One Up that allows for slow buildup.

Technique: Some people with vulvas find direct clitoral stimulation uncomfortable. Having the receiver close their legs during oral sex may help. The giver places their hand above the receiver’s public mound, applying light pressure, and then rubs their tongue on the area around the clitoris to add indirect stimulation.

Hot tip: The giver can also try keeping their tongue still while the receiver rocks their pelvis back and forth.

Sex Position: Doggy Style




Benefits: Deep penetration and an erotic view.

Technique: This could be your next move after starting in The Flatiron sex position. By entering their partner from behind, the giver is able to thrust deep—and if they’re entering vaginally, the tip of their penis or dildo might touch their partner’s cervix, an often-neglected pleasure zone. But you should do this slowly and gently. Some people with vulvas find it painful.

Hot tip for her: The receiver may be able to increase the intensity of their orgasm by pushing their pelvic floor muscles outward, as if trying to squeeze something out of their vagina. This causes the vaginal walls to lower, making the G-spot more accessible.
