The best sex positions to try

1. Lotus sex position

Just like a hug… but sex. This position requires both partners to wrap their arms and legs around each other, with whoever is on the bottom able to hold their partner’s weight. But it’s the partner on top that’ll do all the movement work.

2. The splitting bamboo

If you’re wondering how this one is considered ‘lazy’ given the height of that leg, the key is to have it resting on the other person’s shoulder. The move allows for deeper penetration with little effort from both parties.

3. The plough

Now this one requires some work. It’s like the adult version of a wheelbarrow race. One partner leans on their arms while the rest of their body is lifted and held from behind. It’s a bit of hard work but everyone wins once the finish line is reached.

4. The Catherine wheel

This one may require some twisting and turning to get into position. Begin with one partner sitting with their legs crossed, then have the other straddle them, placing their legs around the torso. The original partner should then move one of their legs to be across the other’s middle. If you feel like a pretzel, it’s probably working.

5. The bridge

Put those yoga classes to good use and try ‘The Bridge’ if you’re feeling flexible. One partner should be on all fours facing the ceiling and pushing up to create a bridge. The other partner can then kneel and position themselves between the legs.

6. The Amazon Sex Position

If you’re a woman who likes control and setting the pace, try the Amazon position. Have your partner lie on their back and bring their knees to their chest. Then, squat down diagonally across them, as they wrap their legs around your waist. All movement is now in your court.

7. On the edge

Prefer your partner to be in the driver’s seat? Have them kneel on the ground and saddle them face to face. Then lean back on your elbows, lift your legs up to rest on their shoulders, and enjoy the ride.
