Positions of the Week

Yin and Yang

If stimulation of your external hot spots is a must for explosive sensations, then Yin and Yang is the position for you. Slide your bodies into a scissor-like position and rub, thrust or tease your way to that special place.

How?

One partner lies on their back with their legs spread apart. The other partner lies on their side and faces the opposite direction, positioning their body so it looks like two pairs of scissors crossing each other, touching at the base where the blades would meet.

Why?

This scissor-like position is usually associated with two people with vulvas rubbing against each other, but Yin and Yang is fantastic for all genitalia types, whether vulva to vulva, vulva and penis, or penis and penis.

Rub against each other, indulge in penetrative sex, explore the position as part of foreplay, grind against other body parts or let hands go to town on stimulating all of those pleasure-hungry external hot spots – Yin and Yang is to be interpreted to suit your desires.

Try

One or both partners could wear vibrating knickers to heighten the intensity of two vulvas rubbing against each other – who takes charge of the remote control(s) could add another level of excitement to your play.

Similarly, a vibrating cock ring or a vibrating butt plug with a remote control could be just the thing to build on sensations with thrilling buzz.

Make it even better

A small amount of orgasm balm or gel applied to the clitoris, nipples or other sensitive external spots will add pleasurable tingle, as well as heightened sensitivity and arousal which may help unleash intense orgasms.

Not the position for you?

We’re working to make sure that everyone is represented on our website, regardless of who you love, so we’ll be using a variety of gender depictions in our Position of the Week posts.

Heart to Heart

Get up close and personal with the Heart to Heart position – perfect for when you want to gaze into each other’s eyes, feel each other’s bodies and hit your hot spots with orgasmic ease.

How?

The receiving partner lies on their back with their legs spread apart to welcome in the giving partner. The giving partner lies on top and in between the legs of the receiving partner, so both partners are face to face.

Why?

The closeness of your bodies and direct eye contact is very intense in the Heart to Heart position, and easy access to each other’s hair, neck and face can only heighten the connection. Heart to Heart also allows for fantastic control over the angle of penetration, and you can use whatever surface you’re on as leverage.

Try

Slipping a cushion or sex position enhancer underneath the receiving partner’s derrière is an easy way of changing up the angle of penetration so you can experiment with what really hits the spot(s).

Make it even better

If the receiving partner has a vagina, adding a clitoral suction vibrator into the pleasure mix could catapult stimulation to the next explosive level. One such as the We-Vibe Melt is slim enough to fit between two bodies, so is a perfect match for the Heart to Heart position.

Adding internal vibrations in the form of a vibrating butt plug or vibrating strap-on is another fun and exciting way of upping the satisfaction levels – especially when remote controls are involved…

Alternatively, a finger vibrator slipped onto the receiving partner’s finger could work wonders on extra stimulation of external hot spots on both partners’ bodies.

The Love Chair

The Love Chair takes the art of sitting comfortably up a few notches, delivering an incredible view, mind-blowing deep penetration and the opportunity to grind and wind your way to explosive results.

How?

The receiving partner kneels and bends forward to support their body on their elbows. The giving partner squats down on top of the receiving partner, facing in the opposite direction and placing their hands on their thighs to help them keep their balance.

The giving partner will need to employ an up-and-down motion when penetrating the receiving partner, taking it nice and slow to experiment with achieving the best angle.

Why?

Whether you’re indulging in anal or vaginal penetration, The Love Chair position is perfect for achieving deliciously intense G-spot or P-spot stimulation. A challenging position to maintain for both partners, it does however reward grandly and is ideal for exploring Dom/sub scenarios as it puts the giving partner in control.

Try

The receiving partner can free up a hand and direct it straight to their chosen hotspot for added stimulation during penetration. Depending on whether they have a vagina or penis and whether it’s vaginal or anal sex on the menu, a vibrator, dildo or stroker could add instant extra gratification.

Make it even better

The addition of vibrations is a sure-fire way of ramping up the sensations for both partners in this position. Whether it’s with a vibrating cock ring, vibrating strap-on or vibrating butt plug, the added stimulation will give The Love Chair an even more explosive edge.

Saddle Up

Holy smoke! We know some of you like a challenge when it comes to bedroom gymnastics, and Saddle Up is most definitely that. Fantastic if you’re bored with your sex life and want to show off your strength, flexibility and stamina – there are also some pleasurable perks to be enjoyed in this position.

How?

The giving partner gets into a bridge-like position and invites the receiving partner to straddle them, supporting themselves on tiptoes to lighten the weight on the giving partner.

Why?

Think of Saddle Up as an elevated version of the classic cowgirl position, which allows the top partner to swivel, grind or gently bounce to achieve the desired depth and rhythm, and very much puts them in complete control. Saddle Up is also a great position for maintaining direct eye contact which enhances the sense of intimacy.

Try

This is a taxing position to maintain even for the strongest and most agile of giving partners – fear not, though, abbreviated, easier versions of Saddle Up are available.

The giving partner could achieve the same position by resting their body on a bed or sofa to take the strain off. It’s also key that the receiving partner leans forward at a 45-degree angle to achieve the easiest and most comfortable penetration.

Make it even better

The addition of vibrations that both of you can share will undoubtedly heighten sensations and excitement. A wearable couple’s vibrator, vibrating cock ring or vibrating strap-on will get those internal and external sweet spots singing loudly in an instant.

A little dab of orgasm gel or balm is always a fab way of achieving an extra-pleasurable tingle on the clitoris or nipples, and can be enjoyed by both partners in this position.

Sunday Brunch

Nothing beats a nice bit of Sunday Brunch, especially when what’s on the menu is bursting with pleasurable possibilities. Find your best spot for dining and get into position as one partner devours the other while enjoying a spectacular view and build-up to an explosive finish.

How?

The giving partner kneels in a seated position, whilst the receiving partner stands with their feet either side of the giving partner’s thighs, folds at the waist and places their hands either side of the giving partner’s ankles.

Why?

The bent-over positioning of the receiving partner opens them up (quite literally), welcoming the giving partner to explore their vagina or anus with their tongue to discover what cunnilingus tricks work their magic.

Try

The giving partner can pull the receiving partner in closer and hold onto their thighs to provide a bit of resistance whilst their tongue gets to work. The giving partner’s hands can also be freed up to add their fingers, a clitoral vibrator (if the receiving partner has a vulva) or a stroker (if the receiving partner has a penis) to the mix.

Alternatively, the giving partner might want to treat themselves to a bit of self-pleasuring while they make their partner squirm with delight.

Make it even better

Make it a brunch to remember and reach for the condiments (aka flavoured lubes) to really get the taste buds excited.

And why not choose a side of added buzz in the bum for either or both partners? Pulling out some vibrating anal beads at the point of climax, or letting deliciously fulfilling sensations build with a vibrating butt plug could tip your Sunday Brunch into a whole new league.

Space Hopper #2

Space Hopper #2

Jump aboard the Space Hopper position and bounce your way to orgasmic galaxies, while hitting some key pleasure spots along the way. Perfect for both vaginal or anal sex, it puts the top partner in the driving seat of some hoptastic, mid-level penetration fun.

How?

The bottom partner stands on all fours, leaning on their elbows and knees, with their legs slightly spread. The top partner crouches over the bottom partner so that their feet are next to their knees, and places their hands either side on the floor to help keep their balance.

Why?

Although primitive in appearance, Space Hopper is a forward-thinking position when it comes to exploring a Dom/sub scenario for the first time, as it very much puts the top partner in control.

Ideal for a medium depth of penetration, the top partner’s hands can also be freed up for stimulating the bottom partner’s breasts, clitoris or penis – although they may want to hold onto the side of a bed or sofa to balance them while they pleasure away.

Try

Accessorise the top partner with a finger vibrator or stroker so the bottom partner can enjoy a truly explosive session. And if you really want to cover all hot spots, one or both partner’s could wear a vibrating butt plug to add delicious, building sensations into the mix.

Make it even better

Explore the Dom/sub scenario further by introducing handcuffs or ankle restraints to the bottom partner. A blindfold could then be the next step to put them into a completely submissive position, that adds to their excitement by heightening every touch and thrust.

Intersexion

Intersexion

Meet at the Intersexion and enjoy sweet, languid sex that can go as slow and sensual or as fast and passionate as you like. Perfect for fans of shallow or deep penetration, Intersexion also offers up new angles that may be the key to outrageously powerful orgasms.

How?

The receiving partner lies down on their stomach, with their head at the top of the bed and their feet at the end of the bed. The giving partner climbs on top and lies with their feet on one side of the bed, and their head on the other side to create a cross shape.

Why?

Intersexion is ideal if you’re bored with the same old angle of penetration, and want to mix it up a little. Depending on whether you indulge in vaginal or anal penetration for the position, the 45 degree angle of the top partner will give you new and exciting sensations for the G-spot, A-spot or P-spot.

The top partner is ultimately in control of the pace, and as each partner is facing away from the other, communication via your bodies is key. If a slow and steady pace is doing the trick, keep going at that pace. If fast thrusts are getting a good reaction, that’s the way forward.

Try

If the flat positioning of the receiving partner isn’t quite hitting the spot, slip a cushion or sex position enhancer under their pelvis to experiment with different heights of penetration. Remember – everyone is different and simple changes can give you big results.

Make it even better

Whether you indulge in vaginal or anal sex in the position, the addition of a butt plug for both or either partner could add a delicious feeling of fullness into the orgasmic equation. If added buzz is your go-to, there are plenty of vibrating butt plugs to choose from, and an exciting range of wearable couple’s vibrators too.

Kanga-ooh!

Hop to it and embrace your inner animal with Kanga-ooh! – a position that takes inspiration directly from the mating position of our marsupial friends. Thrust and hop your way around the bedroom, and you’ll find G-spot or P-spot heaven before you can say bounce!

How?

The receiving partner crouches on all fours with their knees bent, while the giving partner crouches and enters them from behind. The giving partner holds onto the receiving partner’s waist to draw them in deeper.

Why?

Kanga-ooh! allows both partners to move freely with plenty of hopping and thrusting to really hit the gold spots and gain momentum while doing so. It’s not an intimate position that allows you to look sensually into your partner’s eyes, but you’ll have a whole lotta fun and a bucketload of deep penetration pleasure from it.

Try

Kanga-ooh! may feel like quite a primal position, but that’s not to say that a little gadgetry can’t be brought into the mix to propel it to new levels of sensation. If the receiving partner has a vagina, why not try out double penetration with a vibrating double penetration strap-on or try a vibrating strapless strap-on if the giving partner has a vagina as well?

Make it even better

A butt plug worn by the receiving and/or giving partner could add a whole new set of fulfilling sensations to the position. Whether you opt for a vibrating butt plug is your call, but be prepared for a mighty hullabaloo of sensations…

I’ve had to rebuild 2021 a bit due to them sneaking a couple of extra ones in when no one was looking. :slightly_smiling_face: On the upside, it’s given me an opportunity to merge March, April and the start of May into the 2021 index, and we also get an updated Massive One. :partying_face: I think shufting them about may have mucked up the polls a little, so you may want to riffle back through them and make sure your votes match the right positions. :slightly_smiling_face::+1:

And that’s where the back catalogue ends. Probably time to get yourself a glass of water and have a sit down. :slightly_smiling_face:

But don’t worry, I’ll keep adding the latest ones as they arrive. :slightly_smiling_face::+1: In the meantime, maybe its a good moment for a massive catch up…

Mount Joy

Hop on board and climb up to receive the most spectacular of seated ovations as your partner in pleasure delivers the finest of oral treats. Now this is the kind of altitude we like.

How?

One partner sits on a sofa and welcomes the other partner to straddle them, with their legs either side of the seated partner’s hips, and their crotch aligned with their face. The receiving partner can hold on to the back of the sofa for additional support, as the giving partner grasps hold of their buttocks to bring them in closer.

Why?

The raised position of the receiving partner gives them fantastic control over their partner’s head, so they can guide them in what feels good with every kiss, lick and suck. Being able to pull their partner’s crotch in for a snug oral embrace also gives the giving partner fantastic control over the delivery of their oral delights.

Try

Enhance every lick with a delicious flavoured lubricant. And did you know that you can even freeze flavoured lube for extra sensory thrills?

Make it even better

The giving partner can indulge in some extra-pleasurable sensations as well by slipping in a vibrating butt plug, or wearing a knicker vibrator, while they deliver their oral extravaganza to their partner. Plus, the receiving partner’s bottom is perfectly positioned for the seated partner to pull out some anal beads at the point of climax to make it even more intense.

Rub-a-Dub

Gaining pleasure by rubbing and sliding against your partner’s body is hugely underrated when it comes to intimate play. And, hey, sometimes you might not be in the mood for penetration. Rub-a-Dub is the perfect example of how you can use each other’s lumps, bumps and curves to enjoy a good rub and all the perks that come with it.

How?

The bottom partner lies on their front and the top partner positions themselves on all fours, facing their partner’s feet. If the top partner has a penis, lube up and position it between the bottom partner’s bum cheeks and grind, thrust, and slide away. If the top partner has a vulva, they can position their over one of the bottom partner’s butt cheeks or thighs, and rub their clitoris against it.

Why?

It’s a fab opportunity to explore the notion of intimate pleasure from non-penetrative stimulation while exploring each other’s body parts to do so.

Try

Super-versatile, the Rub-a-Dub position means you can absolutely go to town on accessories to take sensations to the next level. If the partner on top has a penis, the thrilling textures from a stroker or vibrations from a vibrating cock ring may be just the thing to send stimulation soaring. If the top partner has a vulva, wearing a vibrating love egg could take care of delicious internal stimulation, while the clitoris gets a good rubbing.

How to make it even better

Make sure the bottom partner is receiving plenty of stimulation as well by positioning a knicker vibrator under their crotch (if they have a vulva) and handing the remote control to the top partner. If the bottom partner has a penis, a realistic vagina or ass placed under them to thrust into while the top partner slides and grinds away could bring an exciting threesome scenario into your Rub-a-Dub session, minus an extra person in the room.

Let’s Talk About…

Get naked, sit on opposite ends of the sofa and engage in a two-way masturbation conversation. Now Let’s Talk About…

Why?

Sitting opposite anyone with your legs open while you pleasure yourself may put you in a vulnerable place, but try and move beyond this and it could also be one of the most sexually liberating things you can do. Plus, it’s super hot to watch each other in the throes of heady passion during a self-pleasuring session. How?

Position yourselves at either end of a sofa so you’re facing one another, and quite simply go to town on stimulating yourselves. Maintain eye contact throughout to up the intensity levels, and pleasure yourself like nobody else is watching i.e. don’t hold back on how you would usually masturbate when alone.

Try

Your fingers may be absolute pros when it comes to knowing how your hungry pleasure zones like to be teased, massaged, and stroked, but how about a little extra in the sensation stakes from stimulating textures and vibrations? A vibrator or handheld masturbator for penises could send your solo sessions straight to climax heaven.

Make it even better

Invite your sofa-dwelling partner to get involved in your play from afar (well not too far depending on the size of your sofa) with the addition of remote control toys. Choose whatever floats your boat from a wide range of remote control vibrators, vibrating cock rings, and butt plugs. The remote control element allows you to add to the voyeuristic element of the Let’s Talk About… position, which is key to helping you learn what makes each other tick, and an incredible turn-on.

Concertina

If you’re looking for gentle penetration and a subtle introduction to a Dom/sub scenario, Concertina could be the position to fold and entwine yourself into. It may look complicated, but once your arms and legs have mastered it, you’ll be off.

How?

One partner lies on their back with their legs bent and raised. The other partner squats over them and straddles them with their feet positioned either side. The reclining partner places their legs on the shoulders of their partner and puts their hands on their butt to help pull them in. The penetrating partner reaches back with their hands to use the reclining partner’s hips for balance and support.

Why?

Intertwining your limbs gives both partners fantastic support and resistance, and enables you to completely tailor the depth, pace and angle of penetration. Concertina also gives the penetrating partner a nice bit of control in the driving seat, introducing a kinky Dom/sub scenario which could be explored further.

Try

Take advantage of this position being a delightful tangle of limbs and further the Dom/sub scenario by introducing restraints for the reclining partner. Restrain their ankles with a spreader bar or handcuff their wrists to add delicious kink and put the penetrating partner in complete control.

Make it even better

A wearable couples vibrator, love egg vibrator or vibrating butt plug could provide the ‘buzz’ to tip both partners over the edge. The added bonus of a vibrator with a remote control could be another way of putting someone else in the driving seat of your pleasure.

Standoff

Standoff

Say hello to getting upright and dirty with Standoff – a position that can be enjoyed in most locations and in tight spots too. Perfect for when you’re feeling frisky and need a quick fix, as well as for taking it nice and slow. Vertical is back, baby.

How?

One partner stands in an upright position and places their hands on a waist-height piece of furniture that is sturdy enough to support their weight. The other partner snuggles in behind them in an upright position and enters them from behind, holding on to their lover’s waist to help guide them in with each thrust.

Why?

Standoff can start off nice and slow with a bit of foreplay and build up to a middle ground of penetration depth, with just a little tweak required if you want to go deeper. It’s a particularly intimate kind of standing position as, without the direct eye contact, you are very much led by your bodies.

Try

The penetrating partner’s hands are free to please, so their lover’s external pleasure zones are up for grabs (quite literally). Why not add a wand vibrator or stroker to turn the Standoff position into an explosive pleasure party?

Make it even better

The penetrating partner can indulge in some good vibrations as well. They can even share them with their partner – vibrating hollow strap-ons, strapless strap-ons and vibrating cock rings all provide scintillating vibrations and are super-easy to introduce to this position.

Not the position for you?

We’re working to make sure that everyone is represented on our website, regardless of who you love, so we’ll be using a variety of gender depictions in our Position of the Week posts.

The Love Tug

Who doesn’t love a good reach-around? Enjoy a full embrace plus a jolly good tug or rub to get you to that happy place with the Love Tug position.

How?

One partner kneels on all fours with their legs slightly apart, and the other partner kneels behind them and hugs them around the waist in order to pleasure their external hot spots, whether it’s their nipples, vulva, penis or testicles.

Why?

Love Tug creates ample opportunity for the giving partner to get well and truly stuck into delivering the best pace and intensity of rubbing, tugging, and tweaking for their partner. Being able to lean over the receiving partner gives the giving partner the support needed to well and truly focus on delivering a spectacular session of stimulation.

Try

A stroker or bullet vibrator could be the perfect way of delivering extra special sensations, depending on whether the receiving partner has a penis or vulva. Stimulating textures and intense vibrations as an extension of your hands and digits can change the direction of intimate play in an instant.

Make it even better

Go to town on treating all of those external pleasure zones with some delicious sucking action from a pair of nipple suckers to heighten sensitivity. And oral pleasuring doesn’t have to be off the cards in the Love Tug position… simply introduce a clitoral suction vibrator for incredible sucking sensations on the clitoris or tip of the penis.

The Handshake

Take a moment to face each other and have sex with each other’s hands. Believe us. It may sound strange, but the benefits of getting to know each other in this intensely intimate position are explosive, to put it mildly.

How?

Stand facing each other and position your hands so they are about 2 inches away from your partner’s crotch. Let your bodies come to each other’s hands as opposed to your hands taking the lead. You’re essentially having sex with each other’s hands.

Why?

It feels exhilaratingly different and creates a super-intense connection with your partner thanks to the face-to-face, upright positioning and the fact that your bodies are making the call.

Try

Introducing toys that are designed to fit in the palm of a hand provides an extension of the notion of having sex with your partner’s hand. A pebble-shaped clitoral vibrator is perfect for all-encompassing external stimulation, while a handheld stroker with internal textures could be just the thing to transform each thrust.

Make it even better

Give those pleasure-hungry nerve-endings in the anus a little treat in the form of a butt plug, while your other hotspots are lavished with attention. Either or both partners could wear a butt plug in The Handshake position to help enhance orgasms.

Grind and Recline

Combining flexibility, strength and the desire for some sensual teasing and lovemaking, Grind and Recline is perfect for hot summer days when you have the horn but don’t want to get all sweaty and tangled.

How?

The seated partner sits with their legs out in front of them. The other partner straddles them and lowers themself down onto them, placing their knees either side of their partner’s body. The top partner then leans back into a backbend, with the seated partner holding on to their hips to guide and support them. The reclining partner can prop themself up on their forearms if it’s more comfortable.

Why?

Grind and Recline can be enjoyed at a nice relaxed pace as you slowly tease each other, and is also lovely and intimate due to the exposed positioning of the reclining partner. Rock and grind together, while the seated partner takes full advantage of being able to reach the reclining partner’s sweet spots.

Try

The seated partner can go all out and heighten their every touch with powerful vibrations from a wand vibrator. Perfect for this position due to their unrestricted reach, a wand vibrator can be swapped between each partner to direct at external hot spots for explosive results.

Make it even better

Not only can good vibrations be shared on your external pleasure zones, they can also be indulged in as part of penetrative pleasure in the form of a vibrating cock ring, vibrating strap-on or wearable vibrating strap-on.

The Embrace

The Embrace isn’t just a deeply intimate position, it also creates optimum angles for genital stimulation, and can easily lead to oral delight. Plus, it’s an access-all-areas type of position, whether you’re reaching to pleasure the nipples, perineum or clitoris.

How?

One partner lies on their back and places their elbows and hands under their waist so that they are at a slight angle. The other partner then lies on their side and leans over to meet their lover, so that they come together at the pelvis.

Why?

The beauty of The Embrace is that it can be enjoyed as a form of foreplay, getting to know what makes each other tick, or as a sensual penetration position. If it leads to penetration, make full use of the easy access to each other’s external hot spots for an explosion of combined internal and external stimulation.

Try

The Embrace also lends itself perfectly to incorporating a sex toy or two. Intensify stimulation of the clitoris or nipples with a finger or bullet vibrator – either partner can take charge, directing the extra buzz to their lover’s top external zones.

Make it even better

Whether The Embrace is indulged in as foreplay or penetrative sex, the added thrill of internal vibrations could be just the thing to tip you over the edge to that extra-special place. Throw a remote control into the mix and a whole new element of ‘control’ is introduced to intensify your session. Choose from a wearable vibrator such as a We-Vibe vibrator, a vibrating butt plug or a vibrating love egg, and prepare for lift-off!

Sexy Squat

Doing squats has never had so many benefits, thanks to this gym bunny of a sex position. Perfect for athletic couples who love to incorporate a workout into their sex life, the Sexy Squat has got it going on in all the right places, and then some.

How?

One partner lies on their back and brings their knees into their chest. The other partner then sits on the back of the reclining partner’s thighs with their legs in a kneeling straddle position, while holding on to their partner’s raised knees for extra support.

Why?

The position allows the seated partner to be in the driving seat of the depth, pace, and rhythm of penetration thanks to the supportive positioning of the reclining partner. A great amount of strength and gusto for each grind and thrust can be achieved from the squatted kneeling position of the receiving partner, plus the angle of penetration is ideal for targeted G-spot or P-spot stimulation.

Try

Get all of the internal pleasure zones singing from the rooftops with the addition of a butt plug for one or both partners. With a whole host of nerves to stimulate in the anus, slipping in an anal toy could add new, explosive sensations to your session.

Make it even better

The perfect way of harnessing all of those sensitive nerve-endings to make your play even more exciting, nipple clamps worn by both or one partner could give you just the right amount of pinch to take you to that special place.

Oral-style sensations could also be introduced with a clitoral suction vibrator. Ideal for clitorises, nipples and penis tips, these toys deliver all the pleasure of cunnilingus, without adding another person into the mix.

Face Off

A superb position for flirting while you masturbate, Face Off allows you to intensely gaze into your partner’s eyes and talk your dirtiest talk, while you rub, stroke or tease yourself to orgasm. You can of course give them a helping hand to get to that special place if you’re of the one-handed strummer variety.

How?

Lie facing each other on your sides, and maintain direct eye contact as you masturbate yourselves.

Why?

Showing someone how you like to touch yourself is incredibly intimate, especially as masturbation is something which is often done in privacy. Not only are you able to teach your lover how and where you like to be touched, but you can also heighten the sexual tension by telling them what you’re doing, how it feels, and what you would like to do with them post-masturbation. The build-up from the anticipation can be truly explosive.

Try

There are no rules about keeping it purely as a self-pleasuring session. If you have a free hand, you might want to let it roam to your partner’s body to enhance their pleasure with a little teasing of their top sensitive spots.

Make it even better

Why not add some oral delight into the mix with a clitoral suction vibrator? It can be held against both clitorises and nipples and introduced to your own self-pleasuring repertoire or as an aid to your partner’s.

A wand vibrator also makes an exciting addition to your play and can be swapped between each partner for self-pleasuring or to reach your partner’s best bits. Wand vibrators are wonderfully versatile and can be directed to vulvas and sensitive parts of the penis such as the head, or perineum.
