10 Best Sex Positions You Should Know By Now

Lily Hush on 3rd Jul 2015

Many couples, regardless of how long they've been together, enjoy doing many things to help spice up their sex lives. From using sex toys to roleplaying, couples have their own personal preferences. However, one of the most common things that couples can do to help spice things up involves trying out some of the most common sex positions. There may be some that the couple may be rather inexperienced in performing; however, plenty of practice can most definitely help to remedy that situation. Here is a list of the top ten most common sex positions and how you can get the maximum amount of enjoyment and pleasure out of them.

1. DOGGY STYLE

Doggy style is easily one of the easiest and most recognized sex positions in the world today. The way to do it is rather simple: the woman kneels on all fours with her legs parted while the man kneels behind her and holds her hips either before or during penetration. The doggy style sex position is also one of the easiest ways to find a woman's G-spot, in addition to having fun trying to do so. This particular position is pleasurable for both men and women alike. Men will sometimes wear a cock ring while taking part in doggy style with their partner due to it keeping their penis hard the entire time. It's not recommended that other kinds of sex toys be used in this position, as the woman may find it difficult to remain positioned using one arm.

2. MISSIONARY

The missionary position is one sex position that is also commonly used by couples, and it's also one of the simplest as well. In this position, the woman lays on her back, opening her legs. The man then gets on top of her, face-to-face, holding himself up with his forearms to support his weight. In addition to sexual intercourse, the couple can also engage in kissing and, if the man chooses to do so, the woman's breasts and nipples can be licked and sucked. The missionary position also allows for close body contact between the couple. This is also a position in which the man is the one who will mainly have to do all of the work while the woman comfortably lays back. Sometimes, a man will also use a vibrating ring in this position, such as he would do with doggy style, in order to help keep his penis as hard as possible.

3. SPOONING

This particular position is one that is extremely easy to engage in and requires virtually no positioning at all. Spooning allows both people to lay on their sides (whichever side they choose and/or feel is the most comfortable) with the man positioned behind the woman. The woman then brings her knees up and opens her thighs, which allows the man to insert his penis into the woman's vagina or anal cavity. This is a position in which the woman can also use a sex toy on herself, especially if the man decides to put his penis into her anal cavity. This will make it easier for the woman to place something such as a vibrator or similar sex toy into her vagina while the man continues to penetrate her. It is also in this position that a man can also take the opportunity to whisper into a woman's ear if he wishes to do so in order to help keep her aroused. A cock ring can also be used by a man in this position, as with others. As previously mentioned, it will help to keep the man's penis hard, which means the woman will continue to get as much satisfaction as possible.

4. WOMAN-ON-TOP

Another common sex position that some couples enjoy is where the man lays down on the bed and the woman gets on top of him. All that is required on the woman's part is one of two things - "spreading her legs apart" or "keeping her legs together". Whichever one of these the woman decides to go with, the next step is to insert the man's penis into her vagina and, in a sense, "riding" it. This is a position where the woman is the one who is mainly in control, leaving the man virtually powerless to do much of anything in terms of movement. This can sometimes frustrate the man, but the view that he gets will more than make up for that. Not to mention that sometimes the woman can get frustrated as well since all the man has to do is virtually lay on his back while she does all of the work. It is also practically impossible to attempt to use any sex toys while in this position; however, this is another position in which the man may wish to use a cock ring to help keep his penis hard throughout the entire session.

5. TABLETOP

The name of this position is practically self-explanatory. This involves the woman positioning herself over a flat surface - such as a tabletop - keeping her rear end exposed. The woman may also choose to lie down on this same flat surface and raise her legs in the air at a 90-degree angle. All in all, whatever position the woman chooses, the man will still position himself behind her to get a piece of the action. He can do one of two things: either put his head between the woman's legs or engage in sexual intercourse instead. This is also another position in which, if the woman chooses, a sex toy such as an oral vibrator or a clitoral vibrator can be used on the woman's vaginal area. This, of course, requires the man to insert his penis into the woman's anal cavity first.

6. LAP DANCE

This is a position that requires the use of an outside object - in this case, a chair. When the man is seated, the woman opens her legs and places his penis into her vagina, almost as if she was literally sitting on his lap. It's also important that the woman's feet are able to touch the floor - this will help to make sure that she's properly balanced and won't fall and injure herself. While this position sounds exciting, it's also one that essentially limits what the couple can do and how much they can move. In addition, like the woman-on-top position, lap dance is another instance in which the woman must virtually do all of the work.

7. ROCKER

This is a position that is pleasurable for both men and women in their own special ways. In this position, the man lays on his back while the woman gets on top of him and lays on her front, making sure that she faces the man's feet. The woman should then make sure that her legs are spread slightly apart, all while resting on her elbows and grabbing the man's ankles. The most pleasurable part for the man is that he'll get a close-up view of the woman's rear end and will be able to do virtually whatever he wants to it. As for the woman, she'll be the most pleasured by the fact that everything the man does to her will actually be a surprise. However, this is also a position that is recommended for the more experienced couples rather than ones who really aren't.

8. STANDING-UP

This is one sex position that, while it sounds fun and interesting, can be difficult to engage in, especially if you are not very experienced in taking part in it. In this position, the man stands up against a wall to steady himself before slightly bending his knees. The woman then gets into position by lowering herself onto him and supporting herself on his shoulders. The man then stands straight up before the woman pulls one of her legs up, which the man then supports by using the crook of his elbow. The standing-up sex position is definitely a good one to get started, but it's also one that you will want to stop doing when the action starts to get hot. As may be evident by now, it will be virtually impossible for any sex toys to be used while in this sex position, but some good amount of personal lubricant would help do the trick.

9. SHOULDER-STAND

This is a position that is especially pleasurable for a woman in the sense that she will be able to experience deep penetration that will lead to an amazing orgasm. For this sex position, the woman lies on her back and the man kneels in front of her, lifting her up and allowing her to wrap her legs around him so that he can easily insert his penis into her vaginal area. The woman then uses her shoulders as rests to support herself. The only downside to this position is that depending on the man's overall strength, he may find himself getting tired after a while and will need to put you down. It's also possible for sex toys to be used in this position; however, the man will have to be the one to insert it into the woman's vagina since the woman will be using her shoulders to rest herself.

10. BACK-BEND

This is another position in which the woman will feel the most amount of pleasure thanks to her G-spot being hit. The woman begins by laying down on a bed, letting her legs and her rear end hang over the edge. The man then kneels in front of her and begins engaging in sexual intercourse with her. Once this begins, the woman then needs to push up on her toes and arch her back, which will allow the man to hold her rear end. Getting the woman to push up on her toes is especially important, as it will actually heighten the orgasm that she experiences. It's also important to keep the man in mind, as this is another position (similar to the shoulder-stand) in which he may eventually get tired and have to stop. Another important tip regarding this sex position is that it's important for both the man and the woman to be turned on completely before engaging in it, which will decrease the amount of fatigue that can be experienced.

These are just a select few of the many different kinds of sex positions that can be used and tried out by many different couples. In the end, it all depends on what the couple themselves personally feel, think, and want in terms of what positions are the most comfortable for them. Regardless of whatever positions that they choose to go with, the overall goal is the same: experiencing the most maximum amount of pleasure possible during a sexual encounter, which is something that can certainly help keep a couple's sex life completely satisfied for years to come.
