1. The Wheelbarrow

The wheelbarrow requires a bit of acrobatics because the receiver is essentially upside down, holding themselves up on their hands while their partner stands and thrusts, but it’s much more doable than it looks. Start in doggy style, and then have the penetrating partner stand up and bring the receiver’s legs up with them. The receiver’s hands remain on the ground, and they wrap their legs around their now-standing partner’s waist, creating a wheelbarrow shape. The standing partner holds the bottom partner by their hips.

2. Elevated Missionary

Elevate your classic missionary, literally, by placing a pillow or wedge underneath the bottom partner’s butt so their pelvis is angled upwards. There are specific sex pillows you can buy for this (for example, the Pillo by Dame), or just use whatever you have at home (as long as you wash it afterwards). You’d be surprised by how different the position can feel with a slightly different angle. This one’s also great for hitting the G-spot in vagina owners.

4. Mutual Masturbation

Really want to get out of your comfort zone? Try masturbating together. Sit across from each other and touch each other in full view of the other. It can make you feel exposed and vulnerable, and desired from afar, and like you’re getting your own private show, all at the same time. Incorporate some dirty talk to up the heat, or sit yourselves next to each other and reach over when the tension builds.

5. Standing Oral — For Her

It’s common for a woman to get on her knees to give her man head, but the opposite can be just as sexy. She stands, and he kneels to eat her out. She can place her hands on his head to guide his tempo, speed, and pressure.

6. Upside Down Doggy

Also known as the yogi, this sex position is another one that’s all about the angles. The receiver starts on their back with knees slightly bent and feet planted on the ground. They then raise their pelvis all the way up into the air while their head and shoulders remain on the bed. The penetrating partner then kneels between the bottom partner’s legs (their pelvises should be about aligned) and starts thrusting.

7. The Wall

You see it all the time in movies, but when’s the last time you actually picked your partner up off the ground and had sex with them against a wall? If not recently, consider giving it a go. The penetrating partner lifts the receiver up off their feet and presses their back against the wall. The receiver can wrap their arms and legs around the penetrator’s shoulders and back to hold themselves up, and the penetrator can hold the receiver under the thighs for more support and use the wall for added balance. You may need to find the right way to balance the weight to allow for easy thrusting, and the receiver can also keep one foot on the ground to make things a little easier.For added drama, initiate this one in an unexpected moment or unexpected place. When you’re ready to transition, simply move to the floor to keep the spontaneity going.


Now, any time you’re trying a new sex position for the first time, remember to be flexible and have a sense of humor about it. Sometimes something that looks and sounds great online doesn’t work for your real-life body types and that’s okay! Modify as needed and find your own specific version that works for you. Have fun out there.
