33 Amazing Sex Positions That Every Couple Should Try To Spice Up Their Sex Life

Introduction

Welcome to the wonderful world of sex! Make sure to explore all the rides and get unlimited tickets to your favorites!

How many sex positions have you tried? Three? Five? Ten at the most? Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they’re some pretty awesome positions. After all, it’s sex – when isn’t it awesome?

You wouldn’t eat the same thing every day for the rest of your life, would you? Or just a handful of dishes for the rest of your life? No! You would never get to explore all of the wonderful flavors and combinations out there.

Your mouth would water as the person next to your got a chicken Parmesan while you were stuck with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches may be your favorite, but do you really want to eat it for the rest of your life?

If you don’t limit yourself in food, why would you limit yourself in sex positions? As humans, we need variety – whether in food, sex positions, or anything in between – to keep life fresh and interesting. Without variety, we fall into monotony and begin to forget the reason we felt so strongly about our favorite things before.

If you stick with the same meal day after day, you start to forget what other things taste like. It may have been your favorite once, but it will quickly become monotonous and insignificant. You need to taste other foods to remember why that particular dish is your favorite and fully appreciate it again.

Who knows, perhaps you have had sex in one position for so long that it doesn’t carry any significance to you at all anymore. In that case, it’s best to lay off for a while and explore other options.

Perhaps you’ll be able to come back to it after you’ve cleansed your palette. Meanwhile, enjoy yourself! Don’t get weighed down by the physics or a fear of change. You can only know what you like once you’ve tried it!

For all you know, you could find a new favorite.

Chapter 1 – The Classics: Never Overused!

There’s a reason they’re classics! Just because they’re considered “overused” by some people doesn’t mean they aren’t any fun. Quite the opposite, in fact.

They’re well-known classics because they’re easy and feel amazing. Sure, you need some variety in your sex life, but that doesn’t mean you should stop using the classics all together and go in search of some wildly gymnastic positions to spice things up. With that attitude, you could end up in the hospital pretty quick!

Instead of finding some wildly adventurous positions involving rope ladders and electrical outlets (don’t ask), try some of the positions in the next section and sprinkle in some of these classics once in a while. I guarantee you’ll find a new appreciation of them when they aren’t the only ones you’ll try!

Missionary

Everyone knows this one – even nuns and priests! The woman lies on her back on the bed, knees bent and spread. The man lies between her legs, supporting himself on his knees and hands, and enters her.

This positions is ideal for thrusting and grinding on the man’s part, but doesn’t allow much movement on the woman’s, especially if the man drops to his elbows instead of his hands, resting most of his weight on her instead of his arms.

Just because this is the most common sex position ever recorded, don’t rule it out!

Sure, it originated because sex used to be all about men having sex to have strong sons, regardless of what the woman wanted, but a lot has changed since the days women were told to “lie back and think of England” while the man did what he had to do.

While the woman’s movements may be limited, she can still grind down on the man while he grinds up against her. It also gives her an excuse to lie back and enjoy herself!

As an added bonus, this position offers an opportunity for close proximity and facing your partner. It’s ideal for intimacy when you don’t want to sacrifice mobility.

Doggy-Style

This one is a top choice! The woman rests on her hands and knees, back arched downward to lift her hips. The man kneels behind her and enters her, holding her hips or shoulders for leverage, depending on the height difference between him and her.

This is a classic, and a must! The rear penetration is not only deep, but stimulates the woman’s G-spot, and the man can watch himself entering the woman.

While it’s not exactly intimate, it’s great for fast, energetic sex. The one downside is the woman’s arms can get tired fairly quickly.

Fox-Style

Just like in Doggy-Style, the woman is on her hands and knees on the bed with the man kneeling behind her. However, the woman lowers herself onto her elbows, so her body is slanting downward when the man enters her.

This position takes a lot of the strain off of the woman’s arms and adds stimulation from her breasts rubbing against the bedspread.

As a bonus, she can support herself on one elbow and reach back to stimulate her clitoris. The man can also do this, but he will have to sacrifice some of his mobility to do so.

Cowgirl

Everyone knows this one, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s great! The man lays on his back on the bed, and the woman straddles him, seating herself firmly in his lap. He can buck, but she isn’t falling off this bronco!

For extra support, she can brace her hands on his chest or lean back and brace them on his legs.

The man gets a great view in this position, and the woman gets to be in control. And if she gets tired, she can always prop herself up a little on her knees and let the man thrust his hips up off the bed and into her. You don’t have to be on top to do the moving!

Reverse Cowgirl

Another well-known position, this one is fantastic for hitting the woman’s G-spot. The man lies face-up on the bed. The woman straddles him, facing his feet, and guides him inside.

She can brace her hands on his knees – which the man may want to raise slightly to support her better – and bounce, roll her hips, and grind to her heart’s content.

This offers the man a great view of the woman’s butt as well as watching himself sliding in and out of her.

Spoons

This one is easy enough to guess. The woman lies on her side, and the man lies behind her, facing her back. The woman bends her knees to bring her legs forward and lifts her top leg so that the man can enter, then she lowers her leg again.

Part of the man’s shaft will be clenched between the woman’s thighs, so penetration will not be deep.

Since you both are lying on your sides instead of supporting yourselves on your arms, one of the man’s hands will be free to reach around and caress the woman’s breast or clitoris for added stimulation.

This position doesn’t allow fast movements, so it’s great for lazy days – like cuddling with a hidden bonus!

Lap Dance

This position has the man sitting on the edge of the bed or an armless chair. From here, the woman can place herself in his lap and guide him into her. This allows her to control the pace and depth.

Unless the man leans back against the backrest of the chair (if there is one) the position requires both you and your partner to hold tightly to each other or else lose your balance.

The limited movement available in this position encourages grinding and circular motions, rather than deep thrusting. It also allows you and your partner to kiss lazily, making it ideal for longer, more laid-back sessions.

Chapter 2 – Branching Out: Learn Something New!

While you’re taking a break from the classics, try some of these positions on for size. If you’re nervous about branching out, many of the positions listed in this section are variations of some of the classics. Hopefully that will help ease you into a more liberating sex life!

While these new positions may seem exciting and stimulating, don’t forget to go back to the classics every once in a while. The more positions you try, the less likely you are to get bored!

Half-Doggy

The woman kneels on her hands and knees at the edge of the bed, back arched downward to cant her hips up for a better penetration angle. The man, standing at the edge of the bed, can then enter her from behind.

As with doggy-style, he can place his hands on her hips or shoulders for leverage, depending on height.

This position has all the fun and stimulation of doggy-style while giving the man more thrusting power. If the man feels stable enough that he doesn’t have to hold on to the woman’s hips or shoulders, he can lean over her and use his hands to stimulate her breasts and clitoris.

The angle is also great for hitting that elusive G-spot.

As extra stimulation, have to woman squeeze her legs together once the man is already inside of her. This will tighten her around the man as he thrusts. Many men also find being able to see themselves penetrate the woman to be highly erotic.

Face Time

The man sits up on a bed, and the woman straddles his lap, facing him. The woman wraps her legs around behind his back, and he brings his legs in as if to sit cross-legged. This forms a sort of cradle for the woman to sit in.

Though this is similar to Lap Dance, this position has you and your partner wrapped around each other for added intimacy and balance. Since the man doesn’t have his feet planted on the floor or anything to lean back against, you’ll need each other’s support to keep steady.

This position, though simple, is quite intimate. You and your partner have nowhere to look except each other’s eyes, and the close proximity encourages kissing. Deep thrusting and wild movements aren’t easy, so it’s well suited for a lazy, intimate grind when you two have nowhere to be anytime soon.

Side Saddle

Have the man lay on his back, legs bent and spread. From here the woman places herself between his legs at a right angle to him and guides him inside of her.

This is easiest when she rests on her knee between his spread legs with the foot of the other leg resting on the bed beside his waist, so she doesn’t kneel on his stomach.

Depending on comfort level and mobility, she can either support herself between her knee and foot or sit on the man’s pelvis.

This position lends itself to rocking back and forth, rather than thrusting. The sideways twist provides all kinds of new sensations, and is a wonderful way to start branching out into different sex positions!

The Squat

The name is pretty succinct. Similar to the Cowgirl, the man lies on his back as the woman squats over him, feet on either side of his hips. She can brace her hands on his chest or the bed on either side of him.

For a slightly more involved role, the man can raise his arms to support to woman’s torso by her shoulders or ribs, just below her breasts.

Unlike a great deal of the woman-on-top positions, this one is great for thrusting, rather than just grinding.

The squatting position makes it easy for the woman to bounce herself up and down, and the man’s hand are free to support her or stimulate her breasts or clitoris. However, the bouncing does take quite a toll on her knees.

Speed Bump

The woman lies on her stomach with a pillow or two under her hips to cant them upward. The man lies on top of her, and she spreads her legs so he can enter. This is a great position for a quickie, as the man can go as fast as he want.

As with most rear-penetration, the position is great for stimulating the woman’s G-spot.

Since the woman is lying on her stomach, she can’t really move. The man has to do all of the hard work, but you’ll both enjoy the outcome! She can keep her legs spread or squeeze them together to tighten herself around the man’s shaft.

The Twist

The woman lies on her stomach, as with Speed Bump, but twists her hips to the side, bending one or both of her knees, which will raise one side of her hips off the bed slightly. The man kneels between her legs and enters her.

This position may cause problems if the woman’s butt is quite big, but if it works, her G-spot will be singing its praises!

Right Angles

Have the man sit up on the bed, legs spread a bit. The woman sits in his lap to guide him inside of her and wraps her legs around his hips, then lays back on the bed. All he has to do it roll his hips!

If the woman wants to add to the motion, she can brace her hands on the headboard to push back against him.

This position is great for lazy days or when you or your partner have sore muscles, as not much movement is needed. Not only that, but the man has a splendid view of the woman laid out in front of him. Lie back and enjoy!

Tetris

The woman lies face up on the bed, legs lifted straight up in the air (she may need a pillow or two beneath her hips). The man kneels (knees wide to lower himself) and enters her, grasping her legs. He can also let one hand drift down to stimulate her clitoris and, if his arms are long enough, stretch up to explore her breasts.

This position may make the woman’s legs ache. If this happens, have her bend them at the knees and rest her calves on his shoulders. The man’s legs may inch further apart. If this happens, he can try sitting back on his heels to brace himself.

The Cat

This position starts just the same as the missionary position. Once the man is inside the woman, he crawls up her body until his penis is both inside her and rubbing up against her clitoris. This dual, simultaneous stimulation makes for a rocking orgasm!

The man has to make sure he doesn’t move too fast of he’ll become dislodged. Stick to grinding and some gentle circular motions. Penetration won’t be deep, but it should give you both a great ride.

Spin Cycle

The name says it all. Set your washing machine to its highest spin cycle and hop on up! For this position, the man sits directly on the washing machine with the woman in his lap, facing away from him.

The spin cycle of the machine beneath you adds some extra vibes to your grinding and thrusting. Try to keep thrusting to a minimum or you’ll lose your balance. Just make sure you have a sturdy model!

Please note: not intended for use in a laundromat.

Stairway to Heaven

The woman sits on the stairs with pillows behind her to keep the edges of the stairs from bruising her back. The man stands several steps below her and leans forward to slide into her.

He may want to rest his knees one or two steps below her for balance. She wraps one of her legs around the man to help keep the rhythm.

If the woman can stand not having the pillows behind her, this position is great for a quickie. If not, the unusual location can still add an extra dose of exotic stimulation.

The Arch

The woman starts lying on the bed with the man kneeling between her legs. After he enters her, she can wrap her legs around his waist as he rises up on his knees, lifting her hips with him and helping to support her with hands around her hips or under her butt.

The woman will be arched from her shoulders to where she and the man are joined.

Depending on the strength of the man’s arms, this position may not last long. But for the time it does, the woman’s G-spot will be stimulated, along with the head rush she’ll get from the arch.

Standing Ovation

The woman bends at the waist and braces her hands on either her knees or the floor for support, depending on her flexibility and balance. The man enters her from behind, his grasp on her hips helping to support and balance both of them.

While this position is great for thrusting and isn’t limited by needing a bed or furniture, you have to make sure you and your partner have steady, wide stances to avoid losing your balance.

This is easier with shorter, more leisurely thrusts. However, since your movement isn’t hindered, it’s easy to get carried away.

Drop the Soap

In a bathroom, the woman faces the mirror and leans forward to brace her hands on the counter. The man enters her from behind, stimulating her G-spot while being able to maintain eye contact through the mirror, a rare treat for rear-entry positions.

This position is ideal for sex just before or after a shower, or even when slipping away from a party for a quickie! It can be taken fast and hard (especially if she is wearing a skirt) or slow and sensual, depending on how much time you both have. It can also be used against a dresser with a mirror above it.

Couch Potato

For this position, the woman stands next to a couch, facing it, and leans over the cushions with her hips resting on the arm. The man can slip inside her easily from behind while he remains standing.

Once he is inside, the woman raises her feet up off of the floor, resting entirely on the arm and cushions of the couch. Her legs will naturally hover between his, where she can cross her ankles to keep her legs tight together for extra friction for both you and your partner.

This position is great for quickies or just moving things out of the bedroom once in a while. The man’s standing position is ideal for deep, hard thrusts. Meanwhile, the woman can grind down onto the arm of the couch. Since the woman doesn’t have her feet on the ground, she’ll feel like she’s at the mercy of the man’s movements, which can provide an extra thrill.

Leg Up

While facing your partner, the woman lifts one of her legs and wraps it around the man’s hip, keeping the other leg on the ground for support and balance. The man can then bend his knees slightly to slip inside of her, then straighten and hold the leg wrapped around his hip to help support her and help set a rhythm.

Due to the somewhat precarious balance, this position is best suited for short thrusts, grinding, or circling motions. It also has a downside: unless you and your partner are similar in height, it can be quite difficult.

Birthday Treat

Have the man lay on the bed with his hips right at the edge and feet planted firmly on the floor. The woman then straddles him and sinks down onto him, facing his torso.

This is a great treat for his birthday or a similar occasion, as he doesn’t have to do any work. The crouching/standing position of the woman gives her an excellent range of movement and control. Of course, he may find himself thrusting his hips up anyway.

The Bicycle

Another position where the man is standing while the woman is in a horizontal position. The woman rests on her back, her rear level with the edge of the bed (or desk, table, etc.) and legs up in the air, knees partway to her chest as if she is doing a bicycling exercise.

The man stands at the edge of the bed and enters her, grasping her ankles or legs for support.

In this position it is easy to get over-zealous and thrust hard and fast. However, since the position allows deep penetration, this may cause the woman some pain. Moderate thrusts until the woman’s comfort level is determined.

Pat Down

This position has the woman plant her hands on a wall, leaning forward at the waist with her legs spread at least a shoulder’s length apart, similar to a police pat-down position. The man stands behind her (possibly bending at the knees or widening his stance to account for a height difference) and enters her.

This position, unlike most standing positions, is great for thrusting since the woman is braced firmly against the wall. The woman gets the added pleasure of being able to thrust back hard herself by using the wall as leverage. This isn’t a position where she just takes whatever rhythm the man sets. She can make her own!

Kitchen Prep

The woman sits on the edge of the kitchen counter with the man standing in front of her. She wraps her legs around his waist as he enters her. Depending on the speed, the woman may want to wrap her arms around the man for intimacy or lean back and brace them on the counter behind her for stability.

This position is great for a quickie and doesn’t have to be limited to the kitchen, despite the name. You can try it on the bathroom counter, a high stool or chair, etc.

Advanced Yoga

Give some extra bounce to a regular seated position by using a yoga ball! Have the man sit on the ball and the woman sit on his lap, facing away from him. Use the extra bounce and roll of the ball to add to your movements and sensations!

As everyone knows, balls roll! This position is only for those with very good balance and control so the bouncing doesn’t get away from you. You may also want to consider covering the ball with a towel or blanket first to avoid the plastic sticking to your skin when you try to get up.

Aquaman

For those couples with an exhibitionist streak, this position is for you. At the beach or in a backyard pool, the couple stands chest-high in the water.

The buoyancy of the water makes it easy for the woman to wrap her legs around the man’s waist, with her arms around the man’s neck and his arms at her hips to support her.

A few tugs here and there on the bathing suits and no one is any wiser! Stick to small motions to avoid suspicion, and you can get away with a quickie right there in the water!

Chapter 3 – Non-Penetrative: More than One Way to Have Sex!

There can be several reasons a couple is unable to have penetrative sex. If the woman is far along during a pregnancy, she is advised not to have sex or exert herself. She may also have her period and be too sensitive for penetration.

If one or the other of you has a sexually transmitted disease, sometimes avoiding penetrative sex will keep it from spreading. Or it may just be that the man’s penis is too large the woman finds penetration uncomfortable.

Whatever the reason, there’s a large variety of ways to have sex without penetration!

So Close

This position works whether you and your partner are laying facing each other or spooning. With you facing each other, the woman lifts her top leg as the man slides in close, positioning his penis between her legs.

The woman then lowers her leg and the man can thrust between thighs. The woman controls how tightly she clenches her legs, and if the man is thrusting up high enough, she’ll still have clitoral stimulation from him rubbing back and forth.

If the woman is pregnant, this position will be easier with the man behind her. As a bonus, if he is thrusting from behind he will get stimulation from both her thighs and butt clenching around him.

Remember: since there isn’t any penetration, you and your partner will need lubricant to smooth the way.

Queen Bee

This one’s all about her. Have the woman sit in a chair (or on a surface similar in height) and spread her legs. The man can sit or kneel on the floor in front of her and give her oral to her heart’s content!

This can be used as a precursor to penetrative sex or count as her turn when you’re trading oral stimulation. It can also be a great way to explore her erogenous zones for later exploitation and make the evening all about her for a special occasion — such as a birthday — or just because you want to.

From this position, the woman has a great view of the man on his knees between her legs, which often can be a huge turn on. She can also help guide the man’s head by his hair or ears to hit that perfect spot.

To turn up the heat, the man can use one or several fingers to thrust into the woman (if she’s willing and able) to massage her pubic bone. The combined pleasure of his mouth and fingers can send her into a stunning orgasm.

Chest Bump

This position is often less-eloquently referred to as a “titty-fuck.” The woman lays on her back on the bed with the man straddling her belly or chest. As with So Close, you’ll need lubricant.

Once the man is slicked up, one or both of you can hold the woman’s breasts, squeezing them together in the middle to form a tight channel. The man then thrusts between them.

This position is more visually stimulating than physically, so its effectiveness will depend on the man’s preferences. To add physical stimulation, if the man is fairly well endowed, the woman can tuck her chin in and open her mouth to lick the head of his penis every time he thrusts up from between her breasts.

Face Plant

Visualize Reverse Cowgirl, but over the man’s face. The man lies flat on his back and the woman kneels over his head, lowering herself to his mouth. The man can then put his lips, tongue and mouth to good use!

While he’s working away, the woman can either sit back and enjoy the ride or reach a hand down to stroke the man’s penis and play with his balls. It is also an easy transition for her to lean down and take him into her mouth to start 69-ing.

The man may want a pillow behind his head to help support his neck. This is about all of the control he will get, though, as the woman is clearly in charge of positioning and pressure.

Conclusion

There are literally hundreds of sex positions and variations out there to explore! This book is intended to be a starting point to let you begin expanding your horizons and spicing things up.

You may not try all of them, or even most of them, but hopefully a few struck your interest and have encouraged you to start branching out into the unknown.

Sex is a natural and necessary part of any healthy relationship. It acts as a strong support to form connection. If the support becomes weak from monotony, the whole relationship can be threatened. Boredom, while not the cause, can often contribute to one or both parties cheating on each other and looking for physical satisfaction elsewhere.

In addition, wanting and having regular sex has numerous health benefits. It can lower blood pressure and stress levels, both of which contribute to heart problems. Or course, it can also have some health risks, primarily for people with pre-existing conditions in the cardiovascular system.

Whatever positions you explore, remember to return to the basics. Whatever feels good is worth going after, no matter how commonplace it may seem. Keep a healthy variety of positions in your sex life and say goodbye to boredom in the bedroom!
