Product Information

How to do it: The prone bone sex position has the receiving partner lying face down on their stomach, with their arms spread out flat or used to prop up on their elbows. "The other partner positions themselves over the top, either kneeling on either side of their partner or physically lying down on top of them," explains Moyle. "One will be more intense than the other so play around with what feels good." Research has shown that if a man is tensing his muscles, as he must do to hold himself up, it affects his ability to control ejaculation, so the missionary position can aggravate problems of premature ejaculation. 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. Easy: Getting intimate is always meant for pleasure and love, not the pain if in case you feel ever.

Sex can be downright tantalizing, or a total snooze-fest — and a lot of it has to do with the amount of effort that you and the woman you’re with put into it. Why it's great: By altering the angle of the penetrating partner away from the traditional missionary position, couples can prioritize clitoris stimulation - which most women need to be able to orgasm, according to research by Concordia University. I exclusively have queer sex at this point, and 69 is my favorite way to follow-up pampering each other on our own time. It’s always sexy to transition from hyper-individualized attention to a super intimate, super reciprocal position.”—Hannah S., 23 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. 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 blindfolds that both partners (!) use in this move will remove every last inhibition. The receiving partner is on top this time, with their heels planted on the bed for leverage and the perfect angle. Just make sure you get into position beforeslipping on the blindfolds. I like cowgirl—specifically in a chair (or at least with the guy sitting up.) I have a tough time getting an O. If the guy’s sitting up, there’s lots of natural friction and easy access for a hand to slip between us if I need some help. Plus, I get to control the pace.”—Morgan F, 23 Reverse Cowgirl

I get to cuddle and have sex at the same time—what’s not to love? Plus, his hands are free to assist.”—Sarah O., 24 Stand and Carry

This romantic and intimate position will really make you sweat on a hot summer afternoon. The penetrating partner kneels down (think marriage proposal position) while the receiving partner straddles them to bounce and grind away. You’ll get plenty of kissing and eye-gazing to make it super pleasurable. How to do it: As you face your partner, with your legs draped over theirs, stare into each other’s eyes and synchronize your breathing. After a few minutes, move to sit on their lap and straddle them. Start with kissing and light touches before taking things further.

If you’re aching to try Girl on Top but the woman you’re with seems hesitant, try compromising with this position instead. Why it’s great: "Not only can a vibrator be used for clitoris stimulation on the riding partner, but you can also use it on a bottom partner, for example, if they have a perineum or testicles, for additional sensation," says Moyle. "It’s a great way for couples to explore giving control to the other. Plus, if one person can’t see when the sex toy will be used, it can also add to the suspense of not knowing what's going to happen next."If the act of intercourse goes on too long, or if the man is tired or weak for some other reason, the missionary position can be uncomfortable. There are so many sitting sex positions that allow the partners to sit and stay closer to each other to satisfy each other sexually.

Why it's great: The chairman works pretty much anywhere - you can try it on the sofa, in bed, or even while having sex in the shower. As a penetrative sex position, it targets the G-spot while leaving plenty of room for additional stimulation of the clitoris, nipples, and other erogenous zones. How to do it: Similar to the reverse cowgirl, have the penetrating partner sit behind with the partner receiving sitting on top of them, facing away. The partner behind can stretch their legs out in front of them, with the partner in front looping theirs behind for that extra support, or leave them as they are. Whatever's the most comfortable. It doesn’t matter you are single, married, a new couple, or have been with the same person for years, there are always plenty of ways to make sex wilder and more effective. You may also be looking for something particular from your new position. If so, take a look at the following: The Layer Cake is an intimate grinding move allows for maximum clitoral stimulation, and believe us, you’ll see why. The receiving partner can lie flat on top, either facing towards or away from the penetrating partner (both are equally fun), and grasp the edge of the bed to get some friction going. And this position is nothing if not versatile! The penetrating partner can also be on top, using their arms to pump and grind.If both partners are comfortable, sex in this way can have some great benefits, like helping relieve cramps, extra lubrication, and increased sensitivity," she adds.
