Try new sexual positions as a way to explore sensations and build intimacy with your partner. But always make sure that both of you are comfortable and have set boundaries.
One fun way to spice things up is by doing a front-action grind. This position is easy to get into and offers deeper penetration.
Doggy Style
Doggy style is one of the most familiar sex positions out there. It’s been around almost as long as humans have been having sex and is featured in the holy grail of sexual literature, the Kama Sutra. This classic “from behind” position is also super-versatile — both men and women can try different variations and tweaks to make it feel extra good, including using a lubricant that increases the sensation of penetration or a clitocentric inserter.
One drawback to doggy style is that it allows for super-deep penetration, which can cause pain if the woman’s cervix is too sensitive. To avoid this, the penetrating partner can use slower and more gentle thrusts — and experiment with different angles of entry to see what feels best.
Doggy style can be super satisfying on its own, but for even more pleasure, the penetrating partner can add some kinks like stroking the nipples or gently scratching the back. Or they can add a little spice by grabbing on to the receiving partner’s waist during each thrust to pull them closer, or rubbing their anus.
Missionary
One of the most popular and easiest sex positions to perform, missionary is often the first position people try when they have sex for the first time. It’s also the classic sex position that Kama Sutra, ancient Greek pottery and murals have depicted couples enjoying.
It puts the partner on top in between the legs of the partner on bottom, which gives them control over pace and depth of penetration and allows them to play with new angles. The bottom partner can also tilt their hips to create different sensations and erogenous zones.
Missionary is a great place to experiment with toys and props like vibrators on the clitoris or anus, or even just to use hands-free licking to explore other areas that aren’t getting as much attention as they deserve, explains Davis-Fainbloom. And since the position is so easy to maintain, it can be an effective way to increase the intensity of sex orgasms. Try increasing the speed or intensity of thrusts, or switching to front-action grinding to rub the clit and fill the vagina.
Crab Walk
Taking fitness cues from a crab might not seem like the most obvious choice, but the crab walk is an excellent way to work out your entire body. While many sex positions focus on just one part of the body, the crab walk engages all of your muscles, from your shoulders and triceps to your quads and glutes. It also hits your core because you need to keep your hips raised in order to perform the movement.
As the name suggests, crab walking involves a crab-like crawling motion that can be done forwards or backwards. To get started, sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground about hip-width apart. Rest your hands on the ground slightly behind your hips, with your fingers pointing forwards. Then, brace your core muscles and lift your butt 6-12 inches off the ground.
This position is great for beginners because it allows you to gently rock back and forth to find your sex groove. You can even add a bit of a grind by thrusting your hips in a side-to-side motion.
Yoga
Yoga, the discipline that combines breathing, meditation, and stretching for physical fitness, can also help spice up sex between the sheets. In addition to its benefits for physical health, yoga can strengthen muscles and increase flexibility — making it easier to explore new positions.
A yoga pose known as happy baby is a variation on missionary that can offer exciting sensations. To achieve this position, one partner lies on their back and holds the other’s ankles, feet, or big toes. This allows the person being penetrated or stimulated to kneel or sit between their legs, and it is also a great position for oral sex.
Another yoga position that can be used for sex is bridge pose, which resembles a traditional forward bend and offers a thrilling sensation. To do this pose, one starts by lying prone with their legs separated and then rises up into the dolphin plank position. This is a tricky position to achieve and maintain, but it can be perfect for knocking boots or performing oral sex. It is important to communicate with your partner when experimenting with these positions to ensure safety and satisfaction.
