Sex Positions for Connection and Pleasure

Finding the right sex positions can enhance intimacy and pleasure between partners. Certain positions allow for deeper connections while maximizing shared sensations. This part explores some effective options and techniques.

Maximizing Contact and Pleasure

One of the best ways to deepen intimacy is by choosing positions that encourage closeness. COWGIRL is a classic; it allows her to control the angle and depth of penetration. This control often leads to better pleasure for both partners.

MISSIONARY offers face-to-face interaction, enhancing eye contact and connection. This position allows for kissing and whispering, which can heighten emotional intimacy.

Another great option is SPOONING. This position creates a cozy cuddle, maintaining closeness while allowing for smooth movements. It feels secure, which can make for some intense sensations.

Cowgirl

Cowgirl is probably the single most famous ‘girl on top’ sex position there is. If you have never been ‘on top’ before, the Cowgirl position is a great place to start, and you can easily move to other positions.

Being in control also makes simultaneous orgasm easier. You can bounce up and down on your man’s penis or instead, you can move your body forwards and backwards to stimulate your clitoris and the rest of the outside of your vagina.

While the man is lying on his back, he can simply thrust up and down. Or he can slowly gyrate his hips in a swirling motion to stimulate the wall of your vagina.

Your man can also put his hands under your bum and help to push you up and down if you are getting tired. He’ll be able to do a little anal fingering, too.

Missionary

This part everybody knows… The basic missionary position, with the man on top and the woman underneath. The woman lies on her back and opens her legs. The man supports himself on his arms and knees and thrusts into her.

This comfortable, face to face style is perfect for kissing and eye contact while making love.

You can see your partners’ face, kiss, hug and caress each other. The full body contact felt in the missionary position means that the body’s largest sexual organ – the skin – is stimulated.

Spooning

A wonderful addition to your repertoire, many couples love side-by-side or the Spooning Sex Position because of the intimacy it offers.

A wonderful addition to your repertoire, many couples love side-by-side or the Spooning Sex Position because of the intimacy it offers.

The woman and man lie on their sides both facing the same direction, with man behind the woman. The man slides in and both partners gently rock to orgasm.

Staying close can feel intimate, but to spice it up and give her G-Spot some loving, have her bend forward and away so the angle is more like Doggy Style while on your sides.

You won’t have a lot of room in this position to actually thrust in and out, but if you just stay inside her and push against the front wall of her vagina, there will be constant pressure against her G-spot.

5 Super Hot Doggy Style Positions

It’s the dirty sexual position everyone fantasizes about! Doggystyle, Rear Entry – whatever you call it – Sex From Behind is our favorite.

Sex from the back also keeps your man’s hands free during sex. That’s awesome if you like him to touch your breasts or rub your clit while he’s inside of you.

DOGGYSTYLE

Doggy Style is the perfect position if you like feeling submissive while your man takes control. It’s easy to perform, and as you’ll see below, there are plenty of heavenly variations of Doggy Style.

Your partner will be sitting on the side of a chair, sofa, or even the bed with his legs spread wide and his feet on the floor when you are having sex in the Back Seat Driver position.

The next step is to bend your knees and back down onto your man's crotch, letting hi to slowly slide his penis within you.

If you are not used to this position or not that fit, then you may find that you’re legs start to get tired quite quickly. By leaning forwards or backwards, you can change the angle from which your man is penetrating you.

You can put your hands on your man’s thighs and use your arms to help push yourself up with each stroke if your legs are starting to get tired from doing all the work.

Back Seat Driver Position

This position is vaguely similar to doggy-style, except the receiver lays on their stomach, and a pillow, sex cushion or other prop is placed under their hips, lifting their pelvis up and taking the pressure off their knees. The penetrator kneels with their legs between the receiver’s legs, and enters from behind.

Once your hands are no longer supporting you, get on all fours and slowly drop your shoulders to the ground.

Let your partner penetrate wherever you want from here.

In this position, the penetrating partner is able to kiss, touch, caress and play with several erogenous zones on the receiving partner, including their back, neck, hair, ears, nipples and ass.

Face down, Ass up

Pronebone

If you're looking for a fun twist on doggy style, allow us to introduce you to the prone bone sex position, which works for vaginal and anal sex.

With your hips up and your legs straight behind you, lie on your belly. Allow him to penetrate you from behind.

Your partner will feel bigger during penetration because your legs are close together in this position. You can also use your hands or a sex toy to reach under yourself and stimulate your clit.

Put a pillow or two beneath your hips instead of elevating your butt the entire time you're in this position. This eliminates your lower back's strain and provides the ideal angle for really deep penetration.

The Back Rider

This Doggy Style tweak is all about making sure you’re taken care of, too. Start in the traditional doggy style position

The Rider, on the other hand, gives the person with the penis or strap-on a break from thrusting. 

On their back and with their hands available, they may instead focus on touching and caressing their lover, play with their breasts or nipples, and stimulate their clitoris or penis.
