8 Sex Positions To Try For Deeper Orgasms

Let’s be real, we are all very obviously creatures of habit. We find ourselves repeating the same patterns, day after day with the same old routine… and you’re damn right that it feels good. The thing is, our brains desire to turn everything that we do into a routine to preserve energy, and while that’s great and all (thank you brain) – we don’t need to follow this narrative as our reality when it comes to the bedroom. Sure, you know which position is guaranteed to make you cum, but trying new sex positions can help keep things fresh and simultaneously help you discover new types of orgasms that completely change your perception on sex as a hole – deepening your connection with your partner outside the bounds of this reality.

 

Okay… you’re convinced. But where do you start? Try these 8 sex positions to ignite the pleasure and get down to business:

 

1. The “Amazon” Position

This is a graphic that covers the sex position of the week called "the amazon". It's when partner A with a penis or strap-on lies down and has their legs up or pulled to their chest. Partner B then squats above them, allowing penetration either anally or vaginally. Knees resting besides their partner, either bouncing up and down or squatting up and down.

 

You might’ve been hearing about this one a lot lately, and yes, if you’re wondering – it is ALL the hype. This position is essentially missionary, reversed. Here’s how:

 

How to do it: The person with a penis or strap-on lays on their back, and the person with the vagina (or anus) straddles or squats above them, allowing penetration. Once the giver has climbed on top, they can start riding the receiver by bouncing and bobbing up and down, rather than focusing on grinding.

 

Why:

  • Eye-to-eye contact.
  • Power-play.
  • Nipple play.
  • Potential for mutual orgasm if the person on top is being stimulated to their preference (vaginal, clitoral, g-spot, nipple).
  • Allows for deep penetration.
  • The person on top can control the depth, speed, rhythm.

 

  1. The “Jackhammer” Position

This is a graphic of what the jackhammer sex position looks like, with a text that covers how to reenact the position yourself. The receiver lays on their back, lifting their hips to raise their legs over their head. Once their butt is in the air, they can spread their legs or push them forward above their head. The giver stands above them, squatting and penetrating vaginally or anally.

 

Well, this one might not be for the faint of heart, especially if you’ve never bent your body like this before.

 

How to do it: To get into this position, the receiver lays on their back, lifting their hips, raising their legs back and over their head. The giver then positions themselves over the receiver, in a squatting motion and penetrates them either vaginally or anally.

  • Eye-contact depending on how you’re positioned.
  • Deep vaginal or anal penetration.
  • The giver can easily control the speed, depth and rhythm.
  • The angle allows you to get all the “hard-to-reach” spots.

This one’s an interesting one – feedback says you either hate it or you love it with no in-between.

 

How to do it: This position is usually transitioned into from missionary, where the receiver lies flat on their back with their legs spread flat on the bed. The giver then slides their body over the receiver forming an X, and while keeping their pelvis in place, they thrust in up and down motions.
