Traditional sex positions have a tendency to get old rather quickly, but does that mean you have to go for health-and-wellbeing-threatening karma sutra-style positions just to keep your sexual health and wellness in shape? Luckily, with a few clever tweaks, you can turn classic sex positions into something hot and altogether fantastic. These improved classics are easy to do, and don’t require you to develop acrobatic skills. More importantly, however, these sex positions deliver for both you and your partner, so we definitely recommend that you give them a try.
1. Cowgirl Lap Dance: The cowgirl position is pretty great in its classic form, but adding a chair to the mix takes it to a whole new level of hotness. The man should sit on a kitchen chair, pull the woman close and help her slide onto his lap. Women, make sure your feet touch the floor, as this will enable you to rotate your hips and tease his erection with your clitoris – which makes for a very sexy precursor to intercourse. When you’re ready for intercourse, sitting on his lap in this way will also give you better control than the traditional cowgirl position does, meaning that you can make this ride twice as wild and twice as good.
2. Doggy Leg Lift: Doggie-style is a classic that many couples enjoy, but if you’re looking to add a little something extra, a leg lift is definitely the way to go. The woman should bend over on the bed with her legs spread, and the man should lift one of her thighs. This will allow for the deepest penetration possible. Men, twist your body toward hers and drape her thigh across your hip while you thrust. You can either use your free hand to stimulate her clitoris or, if she’s into it, slip your hand into her hair for a gentle tug.
3. Missionary with Pillows: With the simple addition of a pillow, the somewhat “vanilla” missionary position can lead to mind-blowing sex. Not only is this sex position with a twist incredibly easy; it virtually guarantees orgasm – possibly for both of you at the same time. Women, lie down on your back and slide a pillow under your backside. Your thighs should be spread apart and your feet should be flat against the mattress. This enables your partner to penetrate you from an angle that’s deeper than ever before, and bring about unavoidable clitoral stimulation will make your orgasm deliciously intense.
4. Spoon Split: For many women, this sex position with a twist is a real favourite as it is both highly intimate and very naughty. While in a traditional spooning position, drape your top leg across his. This will force your thighs into a fairly widespread position, which – even if you’re traditionally quite shy in the bedroom department – can make you feel like a sexual nymph. This position also enables your partner to thrust deeply while also having very easy access to your clitoris.
5. Reverse Cowgirl Squat: Facing the bed’s headboard, the man should get on his knees and rest his bums on his heels. Then, the woman should squat over his lap while grasping the headboard, as this will enable leverage as she lowers herself onto his erection. Men, grip the curve of her waist as she rides you so that she will be better able to balance during sex. In this position, a bit of gentle hair tugging and mild spanking are also generally appreciated, and easily accomplished, just make sure your partner is on board!
