Whether you’re single, married, or in a long-term relationship, sexual intimacy is an integral part of the equation. However, after a while, sex becomes dull, and the initial flame starts to subside.
If this sounds familiar, you came to the right place. This guide will explore the 10 best sex positions to spice up your sex life. In addition, all the positions come with pictures and illustrations so it will be easy to try them yourself in the bedroom.

1. Doggy Style
“Doggy style, famously known as “doggy” is my favorite sex position for many reasons,” Rachel Sommer, Ph.D.
How to Doggy
As the name implies, this position shares a strong semblance to dogs’ sex. The giving partner kneels behind the receiving partner, bending forward on all four with an arched back and slightly elevated butt. You can also do doggy style at the edge of the bed.
Benefits of Doggy
- Deep penetration: The doggy position offers deeper penetration. The vagina will take the entire length of the penis, and thrusting is much easier. You literally feel tingles all the way to your tummy. (Check out this article for more sex positions for deep penetration)
- G-spot Stimulation: Because of how deep your partner’s genitals penetrate, doggy is one of the best G-spot positions for finding that sweet spot and stimulating it. It also allows you to easily reposition yourself until you locate that sweet spot.
- A great view: The giver can bask in the glory of their partner’s beautiful behind, seeing the full size as it’s stretched out. A downside to this, though, because of the magnificent view coupled with the deeper penetration and thrusting motions, both parties might experience orgasm faster, especially the penis party. But if you do not mind, rest assured that it will be a beautiful orgasm, so you might as well enjoy that nut.
Pro Tips
- Use your hands to stimulate other parts: Doggy gives you easy access to many erogenous zones like breasts, clitoris, and anus. Stimulating these parts provide maximum pleasure for your partner. You can also try anal sex.
- Do not just thrust in and out; occasionally allow the receiving partner to take control: Try grinding and moving side to side. Then, let the receiving partner do some of the work by bouncing and grinding.
- Add BDSM/Bondage: Doggy style is one of the best bondage positions. So throw in some restraints in the mix for a more spicy experience!
2. Missionary Style
“Though considered boring by many, the missionary is still one of the most enjoyable sex positions for couples,” Rachel Sommer, Ph.D.
How to do the Missionary
The receiving partner lays on their back with their knees up and legs spread open. The giving partner goes on their knees or lies between the partner’s legs, inserts the penis and thrusts, or rides slowly or quickly.
Benefits of Missionary Style
- Simple: Missionary is easy to perform. Unlike other love-making positions that require partners to stay in certain complicated and uncomfortable positions, missionary is straightforward. It’s highly comfortable for both parties while still being hot and raunchy.
- Helps conceive faster: Health experts say the missionary gives the penis the right angle to aim at the vaginal canal, which may increase the chances of a pregnancy. More on the best positions to get pregnant here.
- Increased intimacy: Missionary is one of the most intimate sex positions, and I call it the “love style.” This one is very sensual, as you get a lot of eye contact while you ride. Hot right?
Pro Tips
- Add variety: Although considered old-school, missionary is versatile and offers many options. You can spread your partner’s legs in the air, curl them on your chest or have them rest on your shoulder while thrusting. In addition, missionary is one of the best oral sex positions.
- Missionary is also great for the coital alignment technique (COT).
3. Spooning
“Just like your spoons in the kitchen rest in one another, it is the same for you,” Rachel Sommer, Ph.D.
How to Spoon
Both partners lay on their sides facing the same way, with the penetrating partner cuddling up from behind.
Benefits of Spooning
- Clitoral stimulation: Any position where penetration is from behind makes clitoral stimulation easy. Both parties have easy access to the clitoris, meaning you can touch yourself or your partner can touch you. Penetration while touching the clitoris increases the chances of having an orgasm.
- Intimacy: Spooning is very intimate. There is something about how you both are cuddled up. This position also makes it easy to kiss the neck, gently bite the ear, and whisper sweet words into your partner’s ear. Talk about ultimate satisfaction!
- Comfortable: Spooning is perfect if you’re not looking forward to lifting your partner’s body weight. You can easily do it before bedtime or as you wake in the morning without too much fuss. It’s also one of the best pregnancy sex positions.
Pro Tips
- Switch control: Unlike some positions where only one person does all the action, spooning provides the opportunity to switch as the receiver can grind on the penetrating partner.
4. Lying Doggy
“It’s just doggy but more comfortable and deeper,” Rachel Sommer, Ph.D.
How to do the Lying Doggy
In contrast to the usual doggy where both partners get on all fours, the receiving partner lies flat on their tummy with a slightly elevated bum. The giving partner either kneels or lays down while penetrating through the elevated space.
Benefits of the Lying Doggy
- G-spot stimulation for quicker orgasm: Being in this position is not only hot and sexy; it also allows the penis to hit the G-spot, increasing the chances of squirting and multiple female orgasms. It’s also one of the best sex positions for small penis sizes.
- It makes your partner’s penis or strap-on seem larger: A snug is created, allowing the penetrating object to appear bigger than it is. This phenomenon can help a partner with a small penis feel more confident. Find more pegging positions here.
Pro Tips
- Add a pillow underneath their belly: This could get a better arc on the back, allowing you to reach the G-spot.
5. Cowgirl
“Women take charge, ride, and grind,” Rachel Sommer, Ph.D.
How to do the Cowgirl
Simply put, it’s like a lap dance but with your bodies facing each other. The receiving partner stays on top of their partner, with their legs spread across as they sit or lay down.
Benefits of cowgirl
- Control the pace: The cowgirl allows the receiver to dictate the tempo of the whole experience. Whether they like it fast, slow, or a little side-to-side, they are in total control.
- Dictate how much penis you want to take in: If your partner packs a heavy D and you fear taking it all in, cowgirl allows you to control how much of it you want going in. If it’s not long enough and you want it deeper, you can put a pillow underneath to add a few inches.
- Variety: The cowgirl is yet another great sex position with a variety of ways you can perform it. You can have your partner sit, let their legs stay up as they lay to elevate you, or sit with your foot on the ground or bed. It’s also one of the most effective threesome positions.
Pro Tips
- Try tying your partner up: BDSM might not be everyone’s forte, but if you are looking to try it out, this is one of the better styles to make the sexual experience as erotic as it can be. Tie your partner’s hands, tell them they have been a bad boy as you slowly grind, and watch them struggle to contain their pleasure!

6. Reverse Cowgirl
“Like a lap dance, but better,” Rachel Sommer, Ph.D.
How to do the Reverse Cowgirl Position
Like the lap dance but with the butt grinding and bouncing on the penis while your partner sits or lays down.
Benefits of Reverse Cowgirl
- A great view: Some of the most popular POV porn videos have this style for a reason – the view is simply immaculate. It’s also a good sex position if you want your butt worshipped and adored by your partner.
- Good for a workout: If you want sex as a form of exercise, reverse cowgirl is an excellent avenue for burning some calories.
- It gives room for some good spanking, too!
- It’s also one of the best car sex positions!
Pro Tips
- Put the finger in the anus: Get kinky and place the finger inside her booty hole if they consent! (Find a list of anal sex positions here.)
- Use sex toys!
7. Standing Against a Wall
“I need your body now; there’s no time to get to the bed,” Rachel Sommer, Ph.D.
How to do it Standing Against a Wall
The receiving partner puts their hand on the wall, leans forward, and slightly elevates one leg (or both). The giving partner places their hands on the butt, waist, boobs, or other body parts.
Benefits of doing it while Standing
- Allow you to mix foreplay with sex: One of the fastest ways to reach orgasm is to use your hands while penetrating. Rub the clit, grab their breasts, rub the nipples, finger their anus, or spank their butt. Doing all these make them peak faster. You can also stick your finger(s) in their mouth. Remember to communicate and ensure consent before doing any of these things. You can find more standing sex positions in this guide.
Pro Tips
- Pull your partner closer: Make your body feel as connected as possible by drawing your partner close to you and making the penetration as deep as it can be.
- Grab their hair, close their mouth, let them look back at it: Being one of the raunchiest of all sex positions out there, going the extra mile to make it hotter can be very pleasing.
8. The Wheel Barrow
“Yoga lovers and flexible people gather here,” Rachel Sommer, Ph.D.
How to do the Wheelbarrow
Wheel Barrow gets a bit technical. Have your partner wrap their legs around your waist, possibly while you kneel on the bed or while standing, whichever one rocks your boat. It should look like you are pushing a wheelbarrow.
Benefits of the Wheel Barrow
- Deep penetration: Wheel Barrow allows very deep penetration, making you feel butterflies in your tummy.
- Good for weight loss: For partners who want to use sex to lose calories, this position will certainly help them lose weight!
Pro Tips
- Take it slow: You should do it slowly and gently to enjoy maximum satisfaction and safety.
9. The Caboose
“Lean on me,” Rachel Sommer, Ph.D.
How to do the Caboose
While your partner is seated on the bed, sit in front and lean in. Then, look away, keeping your eyes forward. It should look like you are being lapped by your partner.
Benefits of the Caboose
- The element of surprise: You are sitting with your back towards your partner, making you unaware of what trick they will pull next. That can be extremely hot!
- A whole new Adventure: Caboose is not well-known, so you’re likely reading about it for the first time. Imagine acting it out with a partner now!
Pro Tips
- Use a vibrator: The caboose presents you with the opportunity to access the clitoris and the rest of the vagina gang. So, while penetrating from behind, use a vibrator to blow their mind (quite frankly).
10. Carry Me, Baby
“Another style for flexible intercourse,” Rachel Sommer, Ph.D.
How to do the Carry Me, Baby
Hug your partner from the front, have them jump and wrap their legs around you while you insert your penis or dildo to penetrate.
Benefits of the Carry Me, Baby
- A faster way to conceive: Because of the angle it presents, there may be a higher chance you get pregnant with this carry position.
- Body exercise: This position gives your partner good sexercise, helping him grow abs and lose calories. Yummy!
