Some things in life are better on repeat:


Friends, perfectly sunny beach days, your
trusty manicure. Your sexcapades,
though? Definitely not one of them. Even
the hottest spark in the bedroom needs
new sex positions to stoke the flames
from time to time—otherwise things get
boring, fast.

"Anytime you introduce something fresh


and novel into the bedroom, you set
yourself up for a more stimulating
experience and bigger finish," says
Vanessa Marin, a licensed sex therapist in
Los Angeles. In short, your brain craves
newness, and especially for women, your
brain is very involved in your excitement
and satisfaction.

Trying out different ~moves~ can also


work wonders for your relationship.
"One significant challenge to intimacy is
the loss of novelty in the bedroom," says
Shawntres Parks, licensed marriage and
family therapist in San Diego.
Exploration between the sheets amps up
emotional intimacy and encourages
partners to take risks and grow together.
New sex positions will encourage
vulnerability with one another in—and
outside of —the bedroom. And in the
end, you’ll find your relationship injected
with an extra dose of trust.

In some cases, switching up positions


might even be a must. "If you're thinking
'ouch' when the offer of sex is put on the
table, you could definitely benefit from
exploring other positions that are more
comfortable for folks with diverse
abilities, as well as those with chronic
pain, or pain from penetration," Parks
adds. But even after you’ve found that
pain-free position, that doesn’t mean it’s
your only option. While it’s easy to
become a creature of habit as soon as
you’ve nailed that go-to, comfortable,
climax-every-time position, Parks urges
you to keep mixing it up. There are SO
many possibilities out there—some even
beyond your wildest imagination.

Going it alone? You can mix it up on


your own, too. Try as they may, it's
unlikely someone pleasures you better
than, well, you can, so dedicate some
quality time to discovering what gets you
off without the pressure of having to
make someone else feel good. There are
tons of positions you can take on while
playing with yourself, and then, should
you want to bring someone in on the
action, you'll know exactly what you
want them to do and can communicate
that off the bat.

Missionary...I'm too Doggy or


self-conscious to Cowgirl...I like to
try anything else. bare it all!

1. 69

JEWELYN BUTRON

How to do it: Have your partner lie


down, flat on their back. Then climb on
top, so you're facing away from their
upper body. This way, you'll look like the
number 69, get it? Your genitals should
be lined up with your partner's mouth,
and their genitals should be lined up
with yours. Alternatively, try it in a side-
by-side position.

kingdom Download

Why: This position is one of the best for


dual pleasure as both partners can give
and receive at once.

Make it hotter: Sure, the mouth-to-


genitals stuff is the main attraction, but
don't shy away from getting handsy, too.
You might even want to bring in a sex
toy, especially if you find it hard to
concentrate while your partner's going
down on you and need to proxy for a bit.

2. Corkscrew

EMILY SCHIFF-SLATER

How to do it: Near the edge of a bed or


bench, rest on your hip and forearm and
press your thighs together. Your partner
stands and straddles you, entering or
grinding from behind.

Retouch & Makeover


Editor Download

Why: Keeping your legs pressed together


during this sex position allows for a
tighter hold on your partner as they
thrust.

Make it hotter: Instead of letting your


partner do all the work, try thrusting
your hips slightly to match the tempo.

3. Face-Off

EMILY SCHIFF-SLATER

How to do it: Your partner sits on a


chair or the edge of the bed; you face
them, seated on their lap.

Why: During this sex position, you’re in


control of the angle and depth of the
entry and thrust. Being seated adds
support, so it’s great for marathon sex
sessions.

Make it hotter: Let your fingers (and


hands) do the talking. Once seated, you
can put your hands anywhere on your
body or your partner's to make things
more interesting.

4. Doggy Style

EMILY SCHIFF-SLATER

How to do it: Get on all fours, then have


your partner kneel behind you, with
their upper body straight up or slightly
draped over you (ya know, like a
humping dog).

Why: This sex position allows for deep


penetration and easier G-spot
stimulation.

Make it hotter: Stimulate your clitoris


with one hand, or ask your partner to do
the finger work for you. "Temperature
play can happen here, too!" says Donna
Oriowo, PhD, is a licensed sex therapist
and owner and lead therapist at
AnnodRight. "Grab an ice cube and
slowly run it down the spine of your
partner."

5. Pretzel Dip

EMILY SCHIFF-SLATER

How to do it: Lie on your right side;


your partner kneels, straddling your
right leg and curling your left leg around
their left side.

Why: With this sex position, you get the


deeper penetration of doggy style while
still being able to make that important
eye contact. Or, if penetration isn't your
thing, your partner can easily grind
against up against you stimulating your
clit.

Make it hotter: Add nipple clamps into


the mix or grab an ice cube and have
your partner use it on your nipples, says
Oriowo.

6. Flatiron

EMILY SCHIFF-SLATER

How to do it: Lie facedown on the bed,


legs straight, hips slightly raised.

Why: This sex position creates a snug fit,


so your partner’s penis or strap-on will
seem even larger.

Make it hotter: "This is a great


opportunity to nibble or bite on your
partner's shoulders and the back of their
neck to add additional sensations,"
explains Oriowo.

7. G-Whiz

EMILY SCHIFF-SLATER

How to do it: Lie back with your legs


resting on each of your partner’s
shoulders.

Why: This sex position is awesome


because when you raise your legs, it
narrows the vagina and helps target your
G-spot.

Make it hotter: Ask your partner to start


rocking you in a side-to-side or up-and-
down motion. That should bring the
penis or strap-on into direct contact with
your G-spot.
