The Expert Guide to Sex Positions
Navigating the realm of sex positions can open up new avenues of intimacy and pleasure for couples. This guide focuses on the top 10 positions for intercourse between a man and a woman, accompanied by descriptive techniques, and tips to make them even more enjoyable.
Top 10 Positions:
Missionary
This is your traditional sex position. It gets a bad rap for being boring but there's a reason it's (probably) the first one you learn. The man is on top, with the woman lying on her back.
Advantages: Allows for face-to-face intimacy and is suitable for those new to intercourse.
Tips: Elevate the woman’s hips with a pillow for deeper penetration.
Cowgirl
Yee-haw and saddle up. Cowgirl is an easy favorite. The woman is on top, facing the man, and controls the rhythm.
Advantages: Offers clitoral stimulation and empowers the woman to dictate the pace.
Tips: The man can lift his hips rhythmically to meet the woman’s movements.
Reverse Cowgirl
It's just like cowgirl, but she's facing the other way.
Advantages: A variation of the Cowgirl, allowing different sensations.
Tips: The woman can lean forward or backward to adjust the angle of penetration.
Doggy Style
Woof woof- We all love this one! The woman is on hands and knees, with the man entering from behind.
Advantages: Provides deep penetration and targets the G-spot.
Tips: The man can hold the woman’s waist for leverage and deeper thrusts.
Spooning
Looks like the picture, but pretend they're naked and a lot closer to each other. Both partners lie on their sides, with the man behind the woman.
Advantages: Intimate, relaxed, and allows for extended sessions.
Tips: The woman can arch her back slightly to allow for easier entry.
Legs Over Shoulders
This one is perfect for all the pillow princesses. The woman lies back with her legs resting or wrapped over the man's shoulders.
Advantages: Enables deep penetration and G-spot stimulation.
Tips: The man can hold the woman’s legs or under her butt for added stability.
Standing
Like missionary, but standing up. The woman leans against a wall, or edge of a bed/table, and the man enters standing up.
Advantages: Perfect for a spontaneous encounter and allows exploration outside the bedroom.
Tips: Try against a wall for added support and leverage while lifting the woman's let for deeper penetration
Lotus
Criss-cross Applesauce, but make it sexy. The man sits, and the woman sits in his lap, wrapping her legs around him.
Advantages: Close face-to-face contact and clitoral stimulation.
Tips: Engage in slow, intimate rocking movements.
Bridge
This is one will make your muscles ache unless you're in good shape. The woman arches her back and pushes off her feet, while the man kneels to enter. You can reverse this, as shown in the picture above.
Advantages: Hits different angles and intensifies sensations.
Tips: The man can hold the woman’s hips to help maintain the position.
Side-by-Side Scissors
It was impossible to find a non-naked picture for this. Use your imagination. Partners face each other, intertwining their legs to find alignment. It's backwards spooning and takes some practice to find the right angle.
Advantages: Relaxing and ideal for prolonged, intimate connection.
Tips: Experiment with leg positions to find the most comfortable angle.
Tips and Tricks:
-
Cushions and Pillows: Enhance or modify positions to find the best angle. This will also help take stress of your body and/ or your partner's body depending on the position.
-
Communication: Always discuss and give feedback for the best experience.
-
Variations: Slight modifications in leg placement or angle can significantly change sensations. Experiment with angles and leverage to find out what feels the best for you. There's no law that says you can't modify these positions.
Light Bondage:
Introducing elements like blindfolds, silk ties, or handcuffs can intensify sensations and experiences. Ensure both parties are comfortable and boundaries are clear.
-
Blindfolds: Enhance the senses by using a blindfold to introduce an element of surprise.
-
Restraints: Soft restraints can be used to heighten the sense of vulnerability and excitement, always ensure they are used consensually and safely.
Sex Enhancement
-
Aphrodisiacs: Consider natural aphrodisiacs like chocolate or oysters to enhance the mood. There's a reason candy maker's biggest holiday is Valentine's Day.
-
Lubes and Oils: Explore with different textures and flavors of lubes or massage oils.
The Golden Rule: Consent
Every act, position, or exploration should be rooted in mutual consent. Communication is key. Both parties should feel free to express their desires, boundaries, and concerns without hesitation. Continual communication, respect, and mutual comfort should guide every action and choice in the bedroom. Consent can be revoked at any moment, and this should always be respected.
