Top 10 Sex Positions You Should Try

two cartoon couples, each featuring a male and female engaged in sexual intercourse. the positions they are in represent two of the top ten sex positions you should try.

In gathering the information for this piece, I realized there are a myriad of sex position options, but only a handful that seem to make it to the suggested top 10 lists. I tried to then find some fun alternative positions to the ‘Plain Jane’ positions you are probably already familiar with.  This comprehensive list covers a wide range of difficulty levels so don’t be nervous but keep on your toes as I introduce you to the top 10 sex positions you should try. 

Inverted Spoon

    It’s likely most people know what spooning is. This is spooning with a twist, and a little side by side action. This position is easy and requires no props; making it number one on our top 10 sex positions you should try. 

    How to:

    The male partner (or female with a strap on) lies on his side on a long flat surface (preferably the bed). The partner then lies in front of them facing away, with their heads at each other’s feet. Make sure to bend at the waist just a little bit to make the angle of penetration better and the penis more comfortable. This position can also be used for rear entry if everyone is comfortable with that idea. 

    Sybian 

    Like missionary but with a fancy furniture twist, this position will take you to new heights (literally); making sybian number two on our top 10 sex positions you should try. This position is done best on a small ottoman, four sofa cushions stacked 2 x2, or a long robust coffee table. Something short that the male partner can lay on where his waist to his head can be supported. This position is a little bit harder than the last. 

    How to:

    The male partner lies supported on the chosen piece of furniture where only his feet and legs are draped over the edge. The female partner climbs on top, straddling his hips at first and then lowers herself on to his penis while facing him. She is in control, of her climax, and his. 

    Side Saddle

    Ride that stallion, ride! Side saddle is more for him than her, that being said, it is a performance he will surely enjoy. This position is about the same in difficulty as the Sybian, medium, making it our number 3 on our top 10 sex positions you should try. 

    How to:

    With the male partner laying down on a sofa or the edge of the bed, his feet planted on the ground, the female partner lowers herself perpendicular (as though she was riding side saddle on a horse) on to his penis. Her feet planted firmly on the ground, she uses her feet and hands to move her body up and down against him. The trickiest part about this position is the physical strain it may have on the female partner. 

    Lotus

    This position is the most intimate position on our list. With a medium difficulty this position makes number 4 on our top 10 sex positions you should try. The lotus can be performed on a variety of different settings, but anywhere you have enough space will do (i.e. bed, large recliner, floor with a blanket…) 

    How to: 

    With both partners sitting cross legged facing each other, the female partner sits in her lover’s lap with her legs wrapped around him so their pelvises touch. This position is about rocking not about thrusting. Starting off slow and gradually increasing the intensity you can easily rock your way into climax together. 

    The Daily Grind

    This is to remind everyone that foreplay is existentially important and for the girlies, although this isn’t extreme in any case, a position for the inclusion; making it number 5 on our top 10 sex positions you should try. Side by side Handy Jay’s for everyone! 

    How to:

    Laying side by side with your partner, grab a fist full of lube and hold it against your partner’s penis or vulva or whatever and both work yourself against each other’s hands. 

    Doggy Style

    I know we were staying away from ‘Plain Jane’ positions; however, doggy style is an oldie and a goodie for all sexes and hole options. It also makes a great segway into bondage; making it our number 6 on our top 10 sex positions you should try. 

    If you haven’t already tried doggy style by some stretch of the imagination, try it. But if you have, I suggest trying a new hole. If all that is not new try number 7. 

    How to: 

    With one partner on their hands and knees, the other partner kneels behind them and grabs their partners waist for support, putting their penis into the appropriate hole. 

    Bound Leapfrog

    Whenever doing bondage you need to put in some safety measures with your partner, the most important being a safe word or hand signal. This position isn’t difficult but can be an introduction to the world of bondage. Which is why it becomes number 7 on our top 10 sex positions you should try list.  

    How to:

    Now, keep the previous doggy style in mind, but this time the recipient has their face against a pillow and their hands tied to their feet. Whether you use rope or cuffs is your choice. Or if you don’t want to be bound at all it simply turns into a position called the turtle and the recipient hugs their knees curled up into a ball. You also have the option to take this position to the edge of the bed, having the giver standing if you want and it works for rear entry as well if you want to take that leap.

    Lunge

    Number 8 on our top 10 sex positions you should try, is the lunge and this is where things start to get a little tricky. For the lunge the female partner needs to be flexible. 

    How to:

    With the male partner laying on his back and his feet roughly shoulder width apart the female partner climbs on top placing one foot by his waist and the other straight, positioned in between his legs as though the female partner were doing a lunge type stretch as she moves up and down on the penis.  

    Snow Angel

    This position is a little more advanced still; number 9 on our top 10 sex positions you should try. You don’t need any props for this move but be careful you don’t tangle yourselves up too much. 

    How to:

    To start the female partner lies on her back spread eagle. The male partner climbs on top with his feet by her head and hers by his. The female partner can hold on to his ankles and wrap her legs around his body. Once in position this is less of a traditional thrusting motion and more of a rocking of the hips you’re looking to achieve. 

    Twister

      And last, but not least for our top 10 sex positions you should try, the Twister. This is the most complicated on our list, which makes it number 10. The Twister is another inverted position, one that you probably want to do on the bed. Challenging, but a must try.

      How to:

      The female partner lies on her side and her male partner lies on his side facing toward her but inverted with his head at her feet. Both partners will have to bend their knees to lift them up so their groins can meet. In the end both partners are in between each other’s legs. Just imagine a game of Twister. Right side on bed, left knee up and around your partner, grind and thrust against your partner, go!

                  Hopefully our top 10 sex positions you should try will inspire you to get sexy and boost your confidence with your partner, reestablishing your connection. Don’t be nervous, communication is key, remember you are sexy as hell, get into it, and always remember to be safe. Now go get it.
