Some things in life are better enjoyed on repeat: a favorite TV show, your go-to playlist that lifts your mood, or your reliable skincare routine. But when it comes to your intimate life? That’s an area where variety is key. Even the most passionate moments in the bedroom can lose their spark without trying new positions now and then—otherwise, things can get dull quickly.
"Many couples fall into a routine and stick to a predictable pattern when it comes to intimacy," explains Rachel Needle, PsyD, a licensed psychologist in Florida and co-director of Modern Sex Therapy Institutes. "But passion often thrives on excitement and new experiences. Switching things up can bring fresh energy to your relationship."
Exploring new ideas in the bedroom can also strengthen emotional closeness and encourage partners to grow together, says Shawntres Parks, PhD, LMFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist in San Diego. Experimenting with different approaches builds trust and vulnerability, not just in the bedroom but in the relationship as a whole, leaving you with a stronger, more connected bond.

A➺ Sex Position: 69
How to do it:
One person lies flat on their back while the other gets on top, facing away from their partner's upper body. This position looks like the number 69. Your mouths should line up with each other's genitals. You can also try lying side by side for a different angle.
Benefits:
This position allows both partners to give and receive oral pleasure at the same time.
Make it better:
While oral is the main focus, don't forget to use your hands too. If you're on the bottom, you can use a sex wedge, like the Dame Pillo, to get a better angle, suggests Donna Oriowo, CST, a licensed sex therapist and owner of AnnodRight.
B➺ Sex Position: Corkscrew
How to do it:
The receiving partner lies on their side near the edge of a bed or bench, supporting themselves on their hip and forearm while keeping their thighs pressed together. The giving partner stands behind them, straddling and entering or grinding from behind.
Benefits:
Keeping the legs pressed together creates a tighter hold, adding more sensation for the giver during thrusting.
Make it better:
The receiver can join in by moving their hips slightly to match the giver's rhythm, making it even more enjoyable for both.
C➺ Sex Position: Face-Off
How to do it:
The giving partner sits on a chair or the edge of the bed, while the receiving partner sits on their lap, facing them.
Benefits:
This position lets the receiver control the speed and depth of movement, says Needle. Plus, sitting provides support, making it ideal for longer sessions.
Make it better:
Use your hands to add more fun. Once seated, you can explore each other's bodies with your hands, making things more exciting. (How about some nipple play?)
D➺ Sex Position: Doggy Style
How to do it:
The receiver gets on all fours, and the giver kneels behind them, either keeping their upper body straight or leaning slightly over the receiver.
Benefits:
This position allows for deep penetration and makes it easier to stimulate the G-spot.
Make it better:
The receiver can stimulate their clitoris with one hand or ask their partner to do it. "You can also try temperature play," says Oriowo. "Take an ice cube and gently move it down your partner's spine."
E➺ Sex Position: Pretzel Dip
How to do it:
The receiving partner lies on their side. The giving partner kneels between their thighs, straddling the bottom leg. The receiver’s top leg rests on the giver's thigh.
Benefits:
This position offers the deep penetration of doggy style but also allows for eye contact. For vulva owners who don’t want too much penetration, the giver can grind against them to stimulate the clitoris instead.
Make it better:
To spice things up, try using nipple clamps or an ice cube on your or your partner's nipples, suggests Oriowo.
F➺ Sex Position: Sideways 69
How to do it:
Both partners lie on their sides, facing each other's genitals. You can lift each other's thighs for easier access if needed.
Benefits:
If you enjoy spooning and 69ing, this position combines the comfort of lying on your side with the fun of mutual oral pleasure. What’s not to love?
Make it better:
Sex pillows can be really helpful here. Place one between your thighs to keep your legs apart or under your neck to avoid neck strain.
G➺ Sex Position: Flatiron
How to do it:
The receiver lies facedown on the bed with their legs straight and hips slightly raised. The giver enters from behind.
Benefits:
This position creates a tight fit, making the giver’s penis or strap-on feel larger.
Make it better:
"Use this position to nibble or gently bite your partner's shoulders and neck to add extra sensations," says Oriowo.
H➺ Sex Position: G-Whiz
How to do it:
The receiver lies on their back with one leg resting on each of the giver’s shoulders. The giver enters from the front.
Benefits:
For vulva owners who are also receivers, this position is great because lifting the legs helps narrow the vagina, making it easier to reach the G-spot.
Make it better:
The giver can move in a side-to-side or up-and-down motion to add extra pleasure.
I➺ Sex Position: Cowgirl’s Helper
How to do it:
Similar to the cowgirl position, the receiver kneels on top, pushing off the giver's chest and moving up and down their thighs. The giver helps by supporting some of the receiver's weight and holding their hips or thighs while they move with each thrust.
Benefits:
This position reduces pressure on the receiver's legs, making it easier to reach climax. Also, if the giver has a penis, it can help delay their climax, extending the pleasure.
Make it better:
Try alternating between shallow and deep thrusts to stimulate different nerve endings.
J➺ Sex Position: Wheelbarrow
How to do it:
The receiver gets on their hands and feet, and the giver lifts them by the pelvis. The receiver then wraps their thighs around the giver’s waist.
Benefits:
This position not only gives your arms a workout but also allows for very deep penetration since the receiver’s legs are wrapped around the giver.
Make it better:
To avoid arm strain during longer sessions, the receiver can rest their arms on a table or the side of the bed for a break.
Thank you for your valuable attention.💗
