Looking for some new ways to get busy in the bedroom? First things first. Let’s remember that there’s no pressure to try new sex positions unless you want to. Don’t fix what’s not broken, right?
We’re all about doing what works for you between the sheets, whether that’s embracing a postpartum break or sticking to tried-and-true positions that keep things easy.
But if you’re looking for some fun new sex positions, we rounded up 10 new sex positions – as inspired by Redbook – that you can start trying tonight.
Bridge of Desire
Lying on your back, raise your legs and drape them over his shoulders so your knees or calves are on either side of his head. (Don’t worry – it’s not as hard as it sounds.)
If you’re worried about flexibility issues, you can always pop a pillow under your back or hips to help you reach his shoulders. No shame in the modification game!
The Narrow Path
This position will be especially potent if you’ve been practicing your Kegels. Once he’s inside in missionary position, squeeze your legs together so his thighs are straddling yours for a really snug fit. It helps focus the sensations – and the pleasure, of course.
The Flamingo
If you like the missionary position, raise just one leg so it rests on his torso while keeping the other flat on the bed. Elevating one leg provides you with access to your hands for other types of stimulation – for both of you!
The Coiled Kitty
This one has a rather scientific name, but we promise, the journey will be more pleasure than business. This position incorporates the Coital Alignment Technique, or CAT.
In a modified missionary position, have him slide his torso up a few inches so he rocks, rather than thrusts, into you, keeping his pubic bone connected to yours at all times. The added clitoral stimulation can boost your enjoyment level.
Arc de Pleasure
From a woman-on-top position, slide your legs down so they’re straddling his thighs rather than his torso. Arch your back so you’re nearly perpendicular to the bed to maximize clitoral stimulation.
Reverse Cowgirl
This one may be an oldie, but it is a goodie. And even if you’ve heard of it, it’s possible that you’ve never actually put it into practice, so tonight could be the night!
In this you-on-top position, spin so you’re facing his feet, and then go at it with your torso perpendicular to the bed (or you can lean back against his chest) for an exciting new angle and for possible G-spot contact.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
If you like doggie style, you can make it even more sexually charged by lowering your chest to the bed. This angle elongates and tightens the vaginal walls, resulting in an even more snug fit.
It can also simply change the sensations by introducing new angles and views. To make it more comfortable, you can also lean on a pillow.
The Swinging Door
When you’re in the spooning position with your back to his, lift your top leg and have him hold it, or drape your leg over his for deeper penetration. If that doesn’t work, swing to the other side and see what happens.
Face-to-Face
Believe it or not, it is possible to have penetrative sex sideways while facing each other – just lift your leg so he can scoot in there. Movement will be limited to grinding rather than thrusting, but sometimes less is more, more, more.
This is also a great position that allows partners to explore with their hands.
The Kneeling Knight
Your guy kneels, grabs your legs, and hoists them up onto his shoulders, and then enters you while you’re practically doing a headstand below. A neck ache may ensue over time, but while it lasts, it’s definitely impressive.
Like with some of the other new sex positions, a pillow might be your best friend when trying this one for the first time.
