Alright, let’s cut the fluff. You don’t need a science book or Kama Sutra encyclopedia to enjoy sex. Most people figure things out by just doing what feels good. That said, if you’ve been sticking to the same two or three moves, things probably feel a bit... predictable. That’s where trying new sex positions can change everything.
I’m not here to list 101 acrobatic ideas you’ll never try. This is about what real people actually do in bed, what feels good, and what’s just plain awkward.
Because routine kills excitement. That’s true in relationships, and 100% true in bed. Trying different sex positions isn’t just about showing off — it’s about discovering new ways to connect, new angles of pleasure, and honestly, new reasons to laugh with your partner when things don’t go quite right (they usually don’t).
Sometimes, you’ll hit a position that just works. Other times, you’ll feel like a tangled pretzel. Either way, you’ll learn something.
Let’s keep it real — there are a few best sex positions that people come back to again and again. They’re simple, they feel great, and they don’t require a yoga mat.
Missionary (but not boring)
Look, this one gets a bad rep. But it’s intimate. You’re close, you can kiss, talk, watch each other’s faces. And yeah, you can adjust things a bit with pillows or leg placements to change how it feels.
Doggy (rear entry)
It’s deep. It’s intense. It gives the partner in the back more control. Also, some people just love this view. No shame in that.
Cowgirl (On top)
This one flips the control. The one on top gets to set the pace, angle, depth — everything. It’s also a solid position for clitoral stimulation and eye contact (or not, if you go reverse).
Spoon (lazy, but loving)
This one’s made for rainy days or nights when you’re tired but still want that connection. It’s slow, soft, and super underrated.
Depends who you ask. If you’re counting every tiny variation, probably hundreds. If you’re talking about the ones people actually use without breaking something, maybe 10 to 15. Don’t stress about hitting all the sex positions in existence. You’re not collecting Pokémon. Pick a few that work and enjoy the hell out of them.
Honestly? Yeah, if you’re a visual person. Sometimes, reading about a position doesn’t really explain how to get into it. Watching a quick sex position video or checking out sex position images can help a lot.
Just don’t expect to look like the actors. Most of those clips are made for cameras, not comfort.
Try If You’re Feeling Adventurous
Feeling brave? Here are three you probably haven’t tried yet — and they’re actually doable.
The Cross
One person lies flat, the other lies across their body like a T. It looks weird, but the angle hits different. Literally.
Seated Hug
Sit facing each other, wrap your legs and arms around each other. It’s slow, emotional, and great for talking and kissing.
The Edge
One partner sits on the edge of a bed, the other stands between their legs. It adds height and power to the rhythm. Just make sure the bed’s not wobbly.
Some Real Talk: Not Every Position Is Great
Don’t believe the hype — some sex positions just aren’t worth it. The ones where you need to balance on one arm while twisting your body like a pretzel? Yeah, no thanks. Sex is supposed to feel good, not like a gym workout.
It’s okay to try something and say, “Nope. Not for me.”
Final Thought: Connection Over Technique
You can try all sex positions in the world, but if you’re not connected with your partner, none of it really hits. The goal isn’t to be impressive — it’s to feel something real.
So yeah, explore. Try the best sex positions. Play around with new sex positions. Watch a couple of sex position videos if that helps. But don’t stress about doing it “right.” If you’re both laughing, sweating, and smiling by the end, you nailed it.
