Great sex is amazing. However, achieving great sex is not something that can happen overnight. You need to try new sex positions and put effort into your sexcapades to take your sex life to the stars. Below, you will learn the best sex positions that can add a little spark to your bedroom antics. These positions include doggy style, 69, reverse cowgirl, amazon sex position, and Coital Alignment Technique (C.A.T).

Sexual satisfaction continues to take a bane in various bedrooms across the world. Most couples use same-sex positions, making the sexcapades boring. Any sex expert will tell you were introducing a new sex position can revolutionize your entire sexual experience. When it comes to sex, your goal should be to get as much excitement and satisfaction as possible. If you have chronic pain or experience discomfort from penetration, you can achieve this by trying new sex positions. You don’t have to get sex off the table completely. By exploring new positions, you are more likely to find something that considers your comfort. While it may be easy to stick to it, it is important to keep exploring. Now, with tons of sex positions, knowing where to begin can be challenging. Here are the 10 orgasm-inducing positions that will take your sex life to a new level.

The 69

Fahs (2020) explained that with the 69-sex position, you give and receive oral pleasure. To start, the penis-having person should lie flat on their back. The woman or vagina-having person climbs on top, facing the bottom partner's legs. While on top, the top partner moves their genitals close to the bottom's mouth. Once they are aligned, the bottom partner can start eating them out as it is a mutual oral pleasure position.

For this reason, the top partner lowers themselves onto the bottom's genitals and starts licking and sucking them. The 69 comes with many variations, including side-by-side 69 and the inverted 69. In the latter, the man or penis-having person becomes the top while the woman or vagina-having person becomes the bottom partner.

Doggy Style

After warming up with the 69 positions, you may want super deep penetration and fulfilling orgasms. That is where the likes of doggy style come in handy. The receiving partner should get on their knees and hands to assume this position. Miranda et al. (2019) stated that one with a penis or strap-on dildo kneels behind them and penetrates them. While in this position, the penetrating partner gets optimal access to the receiving partner's genitals. Talk of deep vaginal and anal exploration. To make the latter more fun, exciting and pleasurable, you may want a lake of lube.

Cowgirl

Williams (2018) explained that cowgirl is women’s favorite sex position for a good reason. While on top, riding on the bottom partner's penis or a strap-on dildo, women get full control of the play. It involves controlling the penetration depth, rhythm, pace, and angle. The penetrating person lies flat on their back. The receiving partner crawls on top, facing the bottom's upper body. Next, they spread their knees on either side of the bottom partner's waist to evenly distribute weight for maximum comfort. Once the top’s and bottom’s genitals are aligned, the former can lower themselves onto the latter’s genitals and starts moving up and down. The closeness and eye contact from this position makes the play hotter. Yes, apart from penetrative sex, there is room for nipple stimulation and kissing.

Reverse Cowgirl

Cowgirl and reverse cowgirl are cousins. Because they are the opposite of each other, you can use the above procedure of cowgirl to get into the reverse girl. However, instead of facing your partner, you face their feet. They will only enjoy the erotic view of your back and butt. Although eye contact will be off the table, there is still more to enjoy in this position. These include clitoral stimulation and deep stimulation. For the latter, the top partner decides. Like cowgirl, reverse cowgirl gives the top partner control over the play.

Amazon Sex Position

Gersen (2019) explained that for the amazon sex position, the penetrating partner lies on their back and moves their knees close to their chest. The receiving partner then squats onto the bottom's penis or strap-on dildo. For added comfort, the bottom partner can wrap their legs around the top’s waist. The amazon sex position puts your flexibility into strength to the test. While controlling the penetration depth, pace, angle, and rhythm, the top can also use their fingers to stimulate their clitoris.

The Pretzel Dip

The receiving partner lies on their side. Once they do, the penetrating partner kneels and straddles the receiving partner’s bottom leg. From there, the receiving partner should wrap their top leg around the penetrating partner’s waist. It gives the top optimal access to their genitals, encouraging deep exploration.

Spooning

Spooning is the best position for morning sex when one or both of you are still feeling sleepy. To start, you both lie on our side (the big spoon or the man should face the small spoon or woman's back). The small spoon then slightly leans forward, allowing the big spoon to enter her from behind.

Missionary

In this position, the receiving partner lies flat on their back with their legs bent at the knee wide apart. The penetrating partner then crawls on top and penetrates them. Missionary is one of the easiest and most intimate sex positions out there.

The Flatiron

The flatiron is a rear entry sex position. The receiving partner should lie flat on their stomach to assume this position. Once they do, the penis or strap-on dildo owner enters from behind. To take things to another level, the penetrating partner can use their fingers to stimulate the bottom's clitoris while thrusting deep into them. If they are lazy to do it, the receiving partner can help.

Heir to the Throne

Heir to the throne is another great sex position for oral sex. To start, the vulva-owner should sit on a sex stool or armless chair and spread their legs apart. The giver kneels between their legs and lowers themselves onto their genitals to suck, lick or finger them out. Since chances of experiencing discomfort while in this position are high, consider placing a pillow underneath the giver’s knees to boost endurance.

Conclusion

What does your bucket of sex positions look like? Whether or not it is satisfying, you may want to switch things up frequently to satisfy your sexual whims and desires accordingly. Switching sex positions can add a little spark to your sex life and strengthen your relationship. For this reason, it can be safe to say exploring new sex positions is a must if you want the best for your sex life and relationship.
