Kama Sutra: 100 Sex Positions With Photos And Explanations

Product Information

There are several dozen standing sex positions. You can use them for vaginal or anal penetration, oral sex, or manual sex. Here are a few options. Of course, orgasm is not the goal of sex, but that doesn’t mean we should give up trying to have the best, most mind-blowing sex possible. We just need to get a little creative with our positions and technique to ensure that the right parts are getting stimulation at the right time (and for the right amount of time). This position is basically beach sex 101: Just pull your swimsuit to the side and get busy. For this on-your-feet move, find a secluded, wind-protected area, lean up against a sturdy support, and enjoy some intimate time in the sun.

When it comes to women getting off, sex experts say the key (at least physically) is to stimulate the clitoris, which is the anatomical equivalent of the penis in terms of structure and sensitivity. But because much of the clitoris is buried in tissue, muscle and fat, it can be more complicated and time-consuming to stimulate and bring to orgasm. That anatomical difference is one reason why the term“orgasm gap” was coined — because men’s bodies may make it a bit easier for them to come. But because of outdated societal norms that depict sex as a vehicle for men to get off, they’ve also traditionally had the luxury of expecting to climax, even if it was at the expense of a woman’s pleasure. Each of these positions has its own unique benefits, and allows you to find pleasure in new ways. It's up to you to try them to find the ones that suit you best and that you want to repeat. Of course you can take these positions and modify them as you wish, because in love nothing is fixed and everything is possible!You may know this position by its other less SFW name —“face sitting”— but Queening in Bondage is when a partner recieves oral stimulation while resting on or above their partner’s mouth. Adding restraint play to this is yet another way to up the sensation and intensity of the scene or sexual encounter, allowing the receiving partner to really own the power of the pose (as pictured here) or offering an equally sexy subversion if you switch places.

For that sweeping-off-the-countertop (or desk) hot sex moment that you’ve totally fantasized about, the Countertop sex position can utilize just about any flat surface that is the right height for the penetrating partner. Take turns controlling the depth of penetration (the receiving partner can adjust their legs at their partners shoulders as well) and you’ll both be seeing stars. The penis may not provide sufficient stimulation to the clitoris for many women to reach orgasm. Additionally, the man is resting on his arms and cannot use his hands for additional clitoral stimulation. (If this is a problem, the woman may want to consider providing that additional stimulation herself.) Begin with the stronger partner sitting in a chair or on a bed. Facing the same direction, the other partner leans over and puts their head in their partner’s lap and uses their hands for support. The stronger partner helps them get to an upside-down position.

A Lazy Grind

Another one that is excellent for any flat surface, the sweet, wide-open energy of the Happy Scissors sex position is totally erotic. Again, the penetrating partner can adjust depth depending on how they support the recieving partners legs. It also gives access to other erogenous zones down the legs and feet, for folks who are into that. Whether you’re flying solo or are showing your partner some of what you like, a solid go-to masturbation position (like grinding on a firm pillow or a toy) can be an excellent way to heighten pleasure. Straddling said pillow (or your lover’s thigh, go off) makes this position is great for people with vulvas to get the friction they really want. If you’re looking for a hot self-lovin’ moment, the Superstar is where it’s at. Kneel on a soft surface with your torso upright, opening your knees to a comfortable position. Use your arm for support or lean against a wall and experiment with angles to find the explore the sensation. Yep, turns out a beach ball can turn into the bouncy sex prop you never knew you needed. It provides lots of soft support to the receiving partner, who leans their body over the ball while the penetrating partner enters from behind. Bonus: suspending yourself above the ground reduces the risk of sand getting into uncomfortable places.
