Whether you’ve been in a relationship for a while or just starting out, it’s always a good time to explore great sex positions. There are so many options, that it’s virtually impossible not to find a few that meet your needs. Soon, you’ll have a personal list of all the best sex positions that give you exactly what you and your partner need.

Why Do Sex Positions Matter For Your Partner?

Apart from spicing up the relationship, there may be other reasons why your partner might enjoy switching things up. For some people, certain positions aren’t just uncomfortable or unsatisfying, they hurt. If your partner feels pain during sex, it’s a sure sign that you need to explore other positions. Trying different sex positions is also an excellent way to see what brings your partner to orgasm more quickly and what combinations really hit the spot. Not everyone is built the same and so what stimulates the pleasure spot of one person might not be effective for someone else. 

Another issue to consider is what puts your partner in a good place mentally and emotionally. As you might already know, a great orgasm often starts in the mind, so being in a position where your partner is ready to go means they’re already halfway there. Finally, certain sex positions can be helpful to combat the effects of conditions like premature ejaculation so both of you can experience pleasure longer.

10 Sex Positions To Try

1. Doggy Style

With this position, you get on all fours while your partner kneels behind you. It works well because you can have deep penetration and clitoral and G-spot stimulation. When you want things to last a little longer, consider trying the modification where you’re lying down on your stomach and your partner is on top. 

2. Cowgirl

This position is great because there’s a lot you can control while being on top. You can modify your pace or angles as you kneel over your partner and push off their chest. Playing around with the cowgirl position can result in deeper penetration depending on your angle and there’s room for clitoral stimulation. You can also delay ejaculation. 

3. Helicopter

The helicopter takes a bit of work but the pay-off is worth it. You would lie on your stomach with your pelvis raised while your partner approaches from the opposite angle. That means their feet will be close to your head as your middle lines up. This position results in a unique angle that stimulates the G-spot. 

4. Spooning

As the name suggests, both of you will be lying on your sides while your partner enters you from behind. In this position, the thrusts will be more shallow, which allows G-spot stimulation and delays ejaculation. Your partner can also reach around to reach the clitoris. 

5. Standing Up

In this position, you’ll lie down with your bottom at the end of the bed and your partner will be standing. Putting a pillow under your back helps with comfort and elevates your pelvis for even deeper penetration. 

6. Missionary

Missionary is an old favorite for a reason. While your partner is on top, they can manage the pace and depth of their thrusts to prolog pleasure. If you angle your hips, there can also be some clitoral stimulation. 

7. CAT or The Coital Alignment Technique

For this position, you’ll lie on your back and wrap your ankles around your partner’s calves. Each flex of your legs will bring them closer as they focus on stimulating your clitoris instead of penetration. 

8. The Bridge

For this one, you’ll raise your lower body with your legs in a bent position. Your partner will then get between your legs and penetrate you that way. This position is great because you can have clitoral and G-spot stimulation.

9. Wheelbarrow

You can do the wheelbarrow by getting on your hands and knees and then having your partner lift your hips. You’ll then wrap your legs around their waist. You’ll get a lot of deep penetration from this position. 

10. Reverse Cowgirl

With your partner on their back, you would face their feet. As with the original position, you can control the pace of the action to achieve pleasure for you and your partner. This position works well for some people who like that particular angle. 

Final Words

If you’re interested in adding some variety to your sex life, why not try a few or all of the sex positions that are listed here? You’re sure to find what works best for you and your partner. Of course, getting too frisky can be out of the question for some people so ask your doctor if there’s anything you shouldn’t try just yet.
