Physical intimacy is a part of daily routine, just like a go-to breakfast, a skincare regimen, and other daily activities. Sex is not just a passion; it’s about connection, trust and discovery. Couples explore different sex positions to build their intimacy deeply, communicate desires more clearly and experience great pleasure. Trying new sex positions can benefit your relationship, whether it is a long-term relationship or exploring new romance.

Below, we dive into some of the best sex positions for couples, balancing comfort, stimulation, and emotional connection.

1.Missionary

This position is often underrated and timeless. It allows for deep penetration, and you can have eye contact and closeness. In this position the receiver lies on their back, while the giver lies face down on top. Both the partners can feel the sensations.

2.See Saw or Lotus Position

This position is considered an ancient position for romance and deep connection. In this position, facing your partner, sit in their lap and mount them with your legs wrapped around their waist. Hold each other's hand and lean back.

3.The cross

This position does not have much movement; it is one of the resting positions while having sex. In this, the penetrating partner is lying on their side, and the receiving partner is lying on their back. They make a 90-degree angle to the penetrating partner’s torso, her legs draped over the receiving partner’s hips.

4.Cowgirl

The cowgirl position allows more angling and shallowing to make her experience more pleasurable. To perform this position, the penetrating partner should be lying on their back; mount them, straddle their hips, and be penetrated from the upright position.

5.Side by Side

This position is considered both active and passive for both the partners; they will control how deep they can go in sex. In this, the partners face each other, lying on their sides, face to face; the receiving partner lifts their free leg and wraps it around the penetrating partner’s hip, which can give access to the vagina for the partner.

6.Doggy style

This rear-entry position allows for deep penetration and intense stimulation. It’s particularly favoured for G-spot access and can be varied in angle depending on preference. While it may feel less intimate, it can be incredibly passionate. It offers strong physical sensations and can be very arousing for both partners.

7.Reverse missionary

This position allows a woman to grind her clitoris against the man’s shaft without the vigorous thrusting that causes premature ejaculation. It is similar to cowgirl; the woman climbs on top of the penetrating partner and lies chest to chest.

8.G-Whiz

This is a very awesome sex position because raising the legs narrows the vagina and helps target the G-spot. In this position, the receiver lies on their back with one leg resting on each of the giver’s shoulders. The giver can enter as they would from the front.

9.Butterfly

This position is considered very low, but it can make a consistent rhythm while having sex. The receiving partner will be lying on the bed with her hips close to the edge. The penetrating partner will enter and bring her legs to his shoulders.

10.Spooning

This position targets the G-spot and makes the partner feel great. In this position, both partners lie on their sides, your front pressing against her back like the spooning cuddle position. There is a chance of premature ejaculation, as the strokes will be very short.

11.Standing Spooning

This position makes the process slower and romantic. The standing position provides g-gpot simulation. In this, both partners will stand straight. The penetrating partner will enter from behind. Doing modifications is also a chance in this position.

12.Standing Ovation

This position offers deep penetration and intimacy. The penetrating partner can thrust fast or slow. The G-spot can be targeted in this position easily. In this position, the receiving partner lies on a table or flat comfy furniture. The penetrating partner stands facing her, lifts her butt slightly and inserts his penis inside her.

13.Little dipper

In this position the woman is on top and allows the receiving partner to adjust the penetration to her liking. In this, the penetrating partner will be lying down on his back on the bed. Then the receiving partner will sit on him in the cowgirl position. You can also do some modifications according to your comfort.

14.Standing doggy style

This is a comfortable position, and it allows for G-spot simulation and deeper penetration. The receiving partner can stimulate their clitoris at the same time for increased pleasure. It is similar to traditional doggy style; the receiving partner bends over in a standing position, placing her hands against a wall for support. The penetrating partner will hold onto her hips and enter from behind.

15.Scissoring

In this slow sex will build your arousal. Shallow thrusts can also stimulate the nerve endings in the head of their penis. This position is done while sitting on a bed facing each other with legs forward; the giving partner’s right leg goes over the receiver’s left, and the receiver’s right leg goes over the giver’s left.

16.Seated on a chair

This is a very easy and exciting position. In this you and your partner come close together, where you sit on a chair and lower yourself down on your partner’s lap.

17.The bridge

This position is for those who love adventures; it gives you a high level of stimulation and excitement. In this position, the receiver supports themselves on their hands and feet by creating a bridge and allowing the other partner to penetrate.

18.Standing

The standing position proves to be a great position, which is adventurous as well. It opens up new sensations and angles. Couples often try standing penetration as an experiment or to add a sudden dose of intensity.

19.Face Off

This sex position allows you to control the pace and depth of penetration and adds support to the partner. In this position, the giving partner sits on a chair or the edge of the bed, and the receiver faces them while seated on their lap. Both partners can put their hands anywhere on each other's bodies to make it more interesting.

20. The Sea Shell

In this position, vulva owners are free to work their clitoris. In this, the receiver should lie back with their legs raised all the way up and their ankles crossed behind their own head. The giver enters from a missionary position.
