Guide to Sexual Positions for enhanced pleasures
Are you bored in the bedroom or just want to spice up your play? Then check out our Guide to Sexual Positions for enhanced pleasure. Engaging in intimate activities involves exploring different positions that can heighten pleasure and intimacy between partners. Here’s an informative overview of some of the most popular sex positions that you might consider incorporating into your experiences.
Top ten sexual positions
1. Missionary
The Missionary sex position is perhaps the most recognised sex position of them all. Missionary involves the woman lying on her back with her legs spread open, and the man lies on top, penetrating her vaginally. This position can also be used to penetrate the woman anally. When people think of this position, they generally think of a man and a woman, but same sex couples can also enjoy this position, either with sexual penetration or non-penetratively.
This position allows for face-to-face intimacy and is adaptable for deeper penetration. Couples enjoy this position due to its romantic feel. The closeness of both partners, skin-to-skin contact and maintained eye contact are extremely intimate. If you’re trying to conceive, you may also be interested to know that missionary is believed to be a good position for reproduction.
The missionary position is considered to be a low-effort position as it requires minimal physical exertion compared to other positions. Although this position is one of the most recognised ones of all, some people consider it a boring position due to its basic nature.
2. Doggy Style
The doggy style position involves one partner bending over and kneeling on all fours or lying on their belly while the other partner penetrates them from behind. Doggy-style is a rear-entry position as the receiver is penetrated from behind. This position provides a different angle for penetration, often resulting in increased stimulation.
The person in the doggy position is usually the passive partner, while the other partner is the more dominant and active participant. However, the person in the doggy position can get more involved by backing up onto their partner.
This sexual position is great for enjoying vaginal and anal sex. Engaging in this position also provides added stimulation during penetration for the woman, as his scrotum sometimes provides friction to the clitoris. Doggy style is also known to stimulate her G-spot, leading to greater orgasms. This position is great for dominance and submissive play. The woman can often feel vulnerable, as they need to trust and surrender control to her partner. Some women enjoy surrendering to their partner, and feeling vulnerable is arousing.
Although many enjoy this position, some find it a little unromantic because there is no eye contact or kissing involved.
3. Cowgirl Girl on top position
This position involves the man lying down while the woman straddles them, facing forward. If the woman faces away from the man, it’s called the reverse cowgirl. The cowgirl position gets its name from the image of a woman riding a man as a cowgirl rides a bucking horse. It allows the woman to control the pace and depth of vaginal stimulation, creating a unique experience. Surveys and studies have shown that this is a favourite position for women, as they often find it easier to orgasm this way.
We all know that men are visually oriented, which is why they like this position, as they have a full view of their partner while they lie back and relax, leaving the woman in control. They can watch their partner’s body and every movement, making the experience highly enjoyable. For him, lying there while her boobs bounce is just magical. Cowgirl requires less physical effort for the man, leaving him to enjoy the sensations.
Cowgirl is an intimate position as both partners can maintain eye contact, and both partners will have their hands free to explore other things. The partner on the bottom can grab their lover’s ass, boobs, hair, or whatever they fancy. The on-top partner will also have their hands free to touch whatever they wish, either their own body or their partner’s.
4. Spooning
Spooning is a side-by-side cuddling position where one partner is behind the other and penetrates them vaginally or anally. This is a rear-entry position as the penetrator penetrates from behind. One partner lies on one side with their knees bent while the other person lies with their front pressed against their back. This position is ideal for slow, gentle movements, fostering closeness and an incredibly intimate experience.
For a man and a woman in this position, he can caress her stomach, breasts or clitoris. Or the woman can stimulate her clitoris and his scrotum. Additionally, the penis stimulates the front of the vagina and may stimulate the G-spot. Both partners have control of the angle and depth of penetration with the spoons position.
Spooning sex is quite a low-intensity sex (perfect for mornings or when you’re tired). It also usually lasts longer, as it takes longer for the man to climax. It’s a good position if you’re recovering from illness or have had surgery, as it’s not a strenuous position and puts less strain on muscles.
5. Standing
For a more adventurous option, couples can try the standing up sex position. This position is where one or both partners are on their feet during sex. You can achieve this position in various ways using a wall or piece of furniture for support, adding an element of spontaneity.
Standing sex can bring up some challenges; for example, if one partner is tall and the other is short, this might be awkward. Height differences can be overcome with furniture, or if the man is strong enough, he can stand and hold the woman in position.
6. Lotus
In the lotus position, one partner sits cross-legged while the other sits on their lap, wrapping their legs around the seated partner. This position allows for intimate eye contact, skin-on-skin contact and deep connection. This position is actually named after a yoga pose, as it requires flexibility, balance and a bit of core strength.
Once you’re both in position, lean into each other and hold eye contact if you both feel comfortable. Wrap your arms around each other or let your hands wander around their body. Start with a gentle rocking or grinding motion and increase the intensity as required.
This position is great for vaginal and anal stimulation; being in full contact with your partner allows you to see if they are comfortable and happy during intimacy. Lotus is also great as both partners will have easy access to kissing, making your encounter extremely romantic.
7. Scissors
In this position, both partners lie on their sides facing each other and cross their legs so their genitals touch, intertwined in a way that resembles scissors. This allows intimacy and close body contact while also offering varied angles. Another name for this position is Tribbing. All genders can enjoy the scissors sex position.
To begin, one partner usually lies on their back while the other person rests on their side. Once comfortably in position, both partners move their hips forward to make genital contact. Now penetration can begin either vaginally, anally or even with a sex toy.
When people think of scissoring, they usually think of a woman with a woman, but as mentioned, all genders can enjoy it.
8. Wheelbarrow
The wheelbarrow position requires physical strength and balance. One partner faces the ground, resting their weight on their hands and keeping their arms extended. The man then stands between your legs and holds them while you walk forward with your hands.
This is definitely not an easy sex position to achieve, and it can quickly become tiring for the person in the barrow position. The standing partner can help mitigate this by carrying some of the weight. He can lean forward and hold her up by placing his hands under her waist. The man should avoid thrusting back and forth, as this can cause the other partner to lose balance. To make this easier, he should move up and down; this keeps the person in the wheelbarrow position more stable.
The wheelbarrow position is great for vaginal and anal sex. It can provide a fun and athletic experience if you’re physically able. It’s not a very intimate sexual position, as both partners are looking away from each other. It’s not an overly popular position because it takes a lot of effort, but everyone should try it at least once.
9. Sixty-Nine
The sixty-nine position is all about giving and receiving pleasure at the same time; what could be better than that? For this one, one partner lies down while the other turns around and straddles their face, maintaining just the right position for mutual oral sex. Named 69 after the numbers it resembles.
Any gender can enjoy this position, and it’s an extremely easy one to achieve. It’s perfect for foreplay to warm up before sex or as the main event. Understanding what each other likes is helpful but not essential, as you’ll quickly learn what each other likes and dislikes.
This position is perfect for building a connection with your partner. Giving and receiving pleasure encourages good communication and emotional closeness.
10. Edge of bed
For this position, one partner sits or lies on the edge of the bed with their legs dangling. The other partner penetrates them vaginally or anally whilst standing. Get your partner to thrust as fast or as slow as you desire.
This position is easy to achieve and can be adapted if you want to switch things up. The person on the bed can place their feet on their partner’s chest for a change of angle, providing deeper penetration. Or, if physically able, throw your legs over his shoulder for even deeper stimulation.
This is also a great G-spot sex position due to the angles and depth of penetration. Another benefit of the edge-of-the-bed position is better control for him. As the standing partner doesn’t have full-body momentum, it’s easier for him to go at a slower pace, avoiding premature ejaculation. It’s not surprising to know that this sex position is one of the most popular positions, as the bed is one of the most comfortable places to be and for all of the reasons mentioned above.
When exploring these positions, communication with your partner is key. Discussing preferences, comfort levels, and boundaries ensures a pleasurable experience for both partners.

Remember, every couple is unique, and finding what works best for you is part of the journey to a fulfilling intimate life.
