Sex Positions 101: 25 New Orgasm-Inducing Positions That Belong On Your Bucket List

Some things truly are better on repeat; like your favourite Netflix series, that one parlour wali didi you trust to thread your eyebrows and that Chinese restaurant that makes a kickass Schezwan dip. But what about your sexual experiences? Does only the bedroom make it to your list or is missionary the only style you’ve tried? Chances are, sooner or later, you will get bored and crave some excitement. That’s just how the human brain works. So surprise yourself and your partner with new, fun sex positions that’ll turn up the heat!

5 Orgasm-Inducing Sex Positions For Women 

Here are 5 sex positions that are more likely to help women achieve the big O.

1. On Top

Cowgirl, reverse cowgirl or simply ‘woman on top’; call it what you want but this position is a favourite among women. And for a good reason, for it’s time to be in charge, initiate sex and ride the wave of pleasure. The cowgirl position gives the clitoris a chance to get stimulated and the women complete control over the pace, angle, and level of stimulation. There are a ton of fun variations of this position, making it very versatile. Plus, it isn’t the most intense position for a partner with a penis, so you may be able to last a lot longer than usual, giving you more time to reach your peak.

How To Do It: 

  1. Have your partner lie on their back. 
  2. Climb on top, with one leg on either side of their torso. 
  3. It’s usually better to focus more on rocking your body back and forth, rather than trying to bob up and down. 
  4. As you work at a rhythmic pace, lean forward for a different angle, depth of penetration and sensation.
  5. You can also try grinding your pelvis in slow circles or in a figure-eight motion.
  6. Your partner can run their fingers down your back, play with your breasts or even caress your clit as they move in and out of you.

2. Doggy Style

Doggy style makes for super deep stimulation. Women who are able to orgasm from penetration alone will benefit from the intensity of this position, and from the direct G-spot stimulation. And women who require clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm will find it particularly easy to use their hand or a toy in this position.

How To Do It: 

  1. Start on your hands and knees as your partner kneels behind you.
  2. They can hold onto your hips while they thrust away. 
  3. You can either stay still or, alternatively, push your hips back against them.
  4. Or change the angle of penetration, and get down on your elbows. The intensity of this position could allow for multiple spot stimulation.
  5. Another option is to lower your chest to the bed as you leave your hips high in the air and your partner crouches low.
  6. Try using one hand to rub your clit or your partner could reach around with their hand and do the same.

3. The Bridge

This is one of the best positions for experiencing an orgasm. This position creates very deep stimulation and a wonderful feeling of fullness. The elevation allows your partner to get deeper and puts your vagina in a different position. Your clitoris is also front and centre for your partner to stroke, or for you to reach down and stimulate.

How To Do It: 

  1. Start in missionary, then have your partner sit up so they’re sitting back on their ankles, with their knees spread wide. 
  2. While staying on your back, put your feet flat on the bed and arch your hips up a bit. 
  3. Your partner can then enter the space between your legs, holding your hips to use them as leverage.
  4. They can grab your hips to help hold you up when thrusting.

4. Sideways Straddle

This position allows for fantastic grinding action. You get to control the pace, and you get to decide exactly how much pressure gets placed on your clitoris. As well as being cute and intimate, as your partner will be cuddling you from behind, this is one of the easiest positions for dual stimulation. It’s also a pretty unique position, and the novelty of it can be quite arousing.

How To Do It:

  1. Lie on your sides with your partner behind you so that you’re both facing the same direction.
  2. Push your bum towards them. 
  3. As they enter you, your partner can easily reach around and stimulate your clitoris.
  4. It might need a little practice, especially navigating the buttocks and hips, but practice does make it perfect!

5. Coital Alignment Technique (CAT)

Yes, the name sounds like a national-level examination but this is a great position for a lot of women. Changing the alignment of your pelvis allows for your partner’s pubic bone to rub up against your clitoris and deliver the kind of direct stimulation that many people with vaginas need to reach orgasm. It’s also great if you happen to be shy about trying difficult or new positions since it’s extremely easy to manoeuvre from the traditional missionary. It’s intimate and low-stress at the same time.

How To Do It:

  1. Start off in a missionary position, with you on your back and your partner on top of you, between your legs. 
  2. Have them pull their body up toward your head so that their pelvis is slightly higher up your body than it usually is in traditional missionary. 
  3. Instead of thrusting in and out, they can move in more of a gentle grinding action against your pelvis to start off with. 
  4. This can help stimulate your clit – the direct stimulation that some women need to reach orgasm.

5 Best Shower Sex Positions You Can Try

Finding a great sex position in the bathroom shouldn’t be difficult. The key is to keep trying different shower sex positions and making it a fun adventure. 

Here are 5 steamy positions to try with your partner in the shower.

1. Ballet Dancer

Make sure to get a good stretch in before executing this position. This is a fun front-facing position that requires a little less balance on your partner’s end. While this position doesn’t offer much flexibility, it offers the opportunity for optimum face-to-face time and spanking if you and your partner are into that.

How To Do It:

  1. Have your partner standing and positioned to enter you from the front.
  2. Bring one leg up to brace against the edge of the tub or your shower wall for extra support and thrusting leverage.
  3. The change in angle adds a stimulating twist to a shower standard and the added sensation of warm water on your back definitely doesn’t hurt.

2. Stand And Deliver

Looking for a shower sex position that gives you tons of clitoral stimulation? Try this one that’s plenty of fun.

How To Do It:

  1. Start with both your and your partner’s feet planted firmly on the mat.
  2. Then turn away from your partner and lean into the wall, pressing your palms against it and tilting your butt upward and out. 
  3. Your partner should enter you from behind, thrusting with their hands anchored on your hips, breasts or clit.

3. The Caboose

There’s no reason you can’t have sex sitting down, on the shower floor. Plus, not being able to see your partner can be incredibly sexy since you don’t know what they’ll surprise you with next.

How To Do It:

  1. Your partner needs to be seated on the shower floor.
  2. And you need to back into their lap, facing away.
  3. You’ll be the one doing most of the riding so be gentle and use circular grinding motions.

4. Wet Lotus

This is a great position to try with your partner for penetrative sex and offers you a comfortable position in just the right ways. 

How To Do It:

  1. Instruct your partner to sit with their legs crossed on the bathroom floor.
  2. While facing your partner, sit as close as you can to them and wrap your legs around their torso. 
  3. Then, your partner should tuck their legs under you. 
  4. Next, wrap your arms around each other in a hug-like embrace and feel your chests melt together.

5. The Chairman

If you have a shower bench, then this sex position is perfect for you. And if you don’t, it will make you buy one for sure.

How To Do It:

  1. For this position, you can sit on your partner’s lap, lap dance-style.
  2. You can do vaginal or anal penetration in this position.
  3. Your partner can also reach around to play with your nipples and clit.

5 Sex Positions For Pain-Free Sexual Intercourse

Sex between you and your partner should be enjoyable, not hurt or cause you to stress. While preventive measures and expert medical advice will definitely help, trying new sex positions can make a difference as well. Sex, of course, should never be narrowly defined as just penetration. But, if you find yourself wanting to have intercourse, there are some angles and positions that can potentially reduce, or even fully avoid, discomfort. 

Here are the top 5 pain-free sex positions to try!

1. Sexual Spooning

Longer penises that strike the cervix can cause pain to flare up. Hard and fast thrusting with those long penises can definitely cause pain as well. Spooning allows for cuddly and slow sex; it’s also great for a clitoral reach-around.

How To Do It:

  1. Instead of spooning after sex, try it during the act. 
  2. Lie on your side with your partner directly behind you. 
  3. Bend both of your knees a bit. 
  4. The position makes sure that the penetration is shallower than normal as the buttocks provide some cushioning.

2. Missionary With A Twist

When you press your legs together in missionary, suddenly every stroke is enhanced. This position is also good for controlled movements because you can take control without moving. Roll your hips around slowly and you’ll get this amazing slide-y friction that will drive you both towards a climax.

How To Do It:

  1. Create a new experience of the classic missionary. 
  2. In place of widening your legs, have your partner’s legs straddle your body, permitting mutual genital touching. 
  3. This works great because it isn’t dependent on size but on the connection you and your partner have.

3. Lean On

Women with endometriosis tend to have a lot of abdominal pain and trigger points in the belly that can activate their pain and cause them after-sex pain. Standing sex positions decrease the pressure put on the abdominal area and help to decrease pain.

How To Do It:

  1. Find a wall or table to lean against. 
  2. Face each other and choose who will hold each other’s butts, and hook their leg around the other person’s leg for support. 
  3. Stimulate each other, by rubbing your clitoris against your partner’s genitals, and then create a comfortable rhythm whereby you’re able to move your body closer or away.

4. The Seesaw

Being skin-to-skin, eye contact, and arms wrapped around each other – doesn’t that sound romantic? Well, that’s not all. The position ensures that the thrusts aren’t as powerful. The angle of the entrance also shifts a bit. Just be mindful, take it slow, stop as soon as things become uncomfortable, and alter the position as needed. 

How To Do It:

  1. Your partner kneels, and you straddle their thighs. Hold on to their shoulders for stellar eye contact and leverage. 
  2. They can thrust up, you can thrust down, and for more clit stim, grind against their pubic bone. 
  3. Or for a more direct approach, just reach down and start rubbing.

5. Modified Doggy Style

If the classic doggy-style position is too painful for enjoyment, modify it! Be patient while trying to do this. You can try lowering your head to the bed/pillow, with your back arched. Another option is to try it standing up: place your hands on the bed/table and bend over. Move around a bit, and try three or four variations to figure out what feels best.

How To Do It:

  1. Instead of being on your knees, try lying on your stomach (you can also add pillows if you need to). 
  2. Have your partner lay on top and enter you with a hand, toy, dildo, or penis. The modified version of this position also allows for intimacy. 
  3. Your partner can easily kiss your neck or back or hold your hands in this position. 

5 Types Of Orgasms With Ways & Positions To Stimulate Them

From clitoral orgasms to nipple orgasms to some even we have never heard of (but can’t wait to try out), here are all the kinds of orgasms the female body is capable of, although this varies from person to person. Each climax can feel different in terms of intensity and duration, depending on how and what part of your body is being aroused.

Here’s a guide to different types of orgasms to help you step up your game in the bedroom!

1. Clitoral Orgasm

The clitoris is the go-to sweet spot for most women when they want to experience the pleasure and release of an orgasm. But while clitoral orgasms may be the most accessible kind, this tiny, mostly hidden bliss button is highly individualistic. Every woman prefers a different type of touch to reach climax.

How To Do It:

  1. Having it touched, caressed, or stroked via direct or indirect stimulation (through the fabric, or by touching the labia surrounding the clitoris) prompts an increase in blood flow to the area, making the clitoris engorged and in need of release. 
  2. Several types of clitoral strokes like up-and-down, back-and-forth, and both wide and small circles can lead to orgasm. 
  3. Experiment on your own and show your partner what you like.

2. Anal Orgasm

Anal sex or anal stimulation doesn’t fall on everyone’s comfort list. Some love it and others don’t care for it at all. But if you’re in the former category or are keen on experimenting with it, an anal orgasm is one you should know about. Remember, you must, must, must use lube, as your anus doesn’t self-lubricate naturally.

How To Do It:

  1. Start massaging the outside and inside of your anal opening, then slowly and gently insert your finger or sex toy into your anus. 
  2. Switch between a circular and in-and-out motion as you penetrate your anus. 
  3. Go faster as the pleasure begins to build until you’re ready to finish. 
  4. Experiment with toys like vibrators, plugs, anal beads, and massagers can intensify your orgasm tenfold. 

3. Nipple Orgasm

You know your breasts and nipples are major erogenous zones; your nipples especially react to being touched and stroked, since they’re loaded with nerve endings and super sensitive skin. But some women really can experience a big O just by having their nipples caressed and kissed. There’s no clear consensus on how many women are able to orgasm without any below-the-belt contact, and researchers aren’t sure why nipple orgasms happen. But no one can deny the feel-good factor nipples offer.

How To Do It:

  1. You can rub, pinch, pull, squeeze, or tug your nipples during a solo session. 
  2. With enough kissing, sucking, and caressing, these are zones that can bring some women to orgasm. 
  3. Get experimenting with temperatures, textures, sex toys or even everyday objects. 

4. Blended Orgasm

If you can handle two, three, or even four times the intensity and pleasure of a regular O, this kind of orgasm is for you. A blended orgasm is a climax that happens when more than one erogenous zone is being stimulated at the same time. Penetration along with clitoral touching is one way to experience the explosive orgasm that typically results. But it could also come from vaginal penetration along with clitoral, or anal stimulation—or all of these simultaneously.

How To Do It:

  1. Many combinations of touching and teasing can trigger a blended orgasm, but if you’re looking to have one with a partner, consider the woman on top position. 
  2. This lets your hands, and your partner’s, be free to touch your clitoris, breasts, or butt. 
  3. Or try bringing a vibrator into the bedroom.

5. Multiple Orgasms

Multiple orgasms generally refer to more than one orgasm in a single session. Sex therapists believe that not only can we differentiate between multiple orgasms and one orgasm (as we do with vaginal orgasms and clitoral orgasms), there are a few different types of multiple orgasms. If you want to get good at something, you’re going to have to put in some practice. And what’s more fun than sex! 

How To Do It:

  1. Discover something new about yourself or your partner as you indulge in sexual intercourse. 
  2. You may find some hidden erogenous zones or come up with a unique way to satisfy each other. 
  3. Each orgasm will feel more intense than the one before it, and the more you practice the easier you’ll find it to reach the second, and third, and fourth. 
  4. If you’re expecting yourself to orgasm again and again with the same stimuli then you’re probably going to be disappointed, so mix it up a bit. 
  5. Try mutual masturbation, vibrating sex toys, changing the place and space along with some never-tried-before positions.
