The MUST Try Sex Positions of 2021

The idea of getting creative together with new sex positions alongside your sexual partner is nothing to be intimidated by or shy about. I mean, the celebration of sexuality and sexual positions and rituals, dates all the way back to the world pre-internet and Pornhub (thank you Kamasutra for inspiring the generations to come). There’s no denying that an involved and evolving sex life is usually a content and fulfilling sex life for both partners, and there is a long (and girthy) list of physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing benefits associated with doing the classic ol’ no pants dance. As an added benefit, it’s a great way to spice up lockdown, something I think we could all appreciate in 2021!

Sex lives for many, eventually begin to slow down, and understandably so! Life can be demanding, we’re tired and, sometimes, if we’re being honest, things can become a little monotonous (kind of like eating your favourite meal… everyday). There’s no embarrassment in admitting that either. It happens, especially if you’ve been having sex for a long-while or have been with your sexual partner for a long-time!

The bright side? Sex is a sustainable, well… sex booster. If your sex life has been put on the back burner as of late, a shortage of diversity or action in the bedroom could be the culprit. Trying new sex positions can bring life back between the sheets, your intimacy, and your relationship. So, before we get any further, here’s your reminder to grab the lube!

This guide contains all the knowledge and ideas, you could possibly need to start enjoying better sex! Whatever your level of experience, body type or flexibility is, it’s truly a sex positions blog for all.

** Most importantly, while many of these directions reference partners who have a penis, most of these positions can be assumed by just about anyone in possession of a vibrator or dildo! **

1. Happy Scissors

How to Do It: 

From missionary position it is easy to evolve into the Happy Scissors position! All you need to do raise your legs and extend them straight out (forming a “V”).

Why: 

This allows for good body contact with the vulva, allowing deeper penetration and clitoral pressure.

How to Make It Hotter: 

Try grabbing your ankles! It can give you stability and an added stretch to boost the sensation.

2. The Butterfly

How To Do It:

The Butterfly sex position involves having the receiving partner lay back on a slightly elevated surface (bed, table, countertop, go off!) tilting their hips upward and offering cervical stimulation and free hands for clitoral activities. 

Why:

More powerful and deeper penetration than missionary alone, that leaves hands free to stimulate other zones!

How to Make It Hotter:

Tag in a team mate, and introduce a vibrator into the fray! With all these free hands it’d be a missed opportunity not to!

3. Doggy Style

How To Do It:

Classic Doggy Style involves you getting on all fours, with your partner behind you and on their knees and entering you from behind. Simple and effective.

Why:

Perfect for getting the deepest penetration possible, they get to stare at your bum, and it’s an effective way of achieving the long-sought-after G-Spot orgasm!

How to Make It Hotter:

Try lying flat on your stomach, with or without a pillow under your pelvis (but definitely one under your face, for comfort). The snug fit will make your partner feel even bigger inside you...AND you get to be lazy.

4. The Face Off

How To Do It:

The Face Off involves the ‘giving’ partner sitting on a chair or the edge of the bed, you sit on their lap facing them as they enter you. And no, there’s no John Travolta or Nicholas Cage involved… unfortunately!

Why:

Not only do you and your sexual partner get to enjoy the satisfaction of looking right into each other’s eyes as you edge towards climax, but you also get far more control of the angle and depth of the entry and thrust. Plus, being seated provides support – necessary for a marathon sex-session.

How to Make It Hotter:

Add in a sex-swing and flip the positions.

5. Reverse Seated Cowgirl

How To Do It:  

A classic variation of the receiver-on-top position, the Reverse Seated Cowgirl, sees them straddle you facing the opposite direction while in a seated position.

Why:

More powerful and deeper penetration than missionary alone, that leaves hands free to stimulate other zones! By reversing, the “receiver” gets to experience a different stroke direction. The “giver” also gets to view them from the rear.

How to Make It Hotter:

Try it on the side of the bed or table, and let gravity do the work! Enjoy deeper penetration, at the cost of less strain on the legs! 

6. The Bridge

How To Do It:

Not for the faint hearted, The Bridge sex position is more than worth the effort. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet hip-width apart. Have your partner positioned on their knees facing you. Keeping your head resting on floor, raise your hips to form a straight line from knees to shoulders and have your partner penetrate you from above. Your partner can then hold on to your hips for stability and control while thrusting. Like the name suggests, you should resemble a bridge.

Why:

There are a tonne of different benefits to the bridge pose. First of all, it allows for deeper penetration and G-spot stimulation. Plus, there's plenty of room for your partner (or you) to stimulate your clitoris at the same time. Teamwork makes the dream work, right? The bridge sex position also works your core powerfully too, so it's a core-workout and sex position in one. For all our fitness fans out there – incorporate your daily calorie burn into something more constructive.

How to Make It Hotter:

C’mon – work smarter not harder and bring in a sex pillow (If you’re anything like me, there are no abs to workout in this situation). Take the strain off your core, and let the pillow guide you in to the perfect position, so you can lay back, relax, and enjoy with full stability!

7. The Notebook

How To Do It:

Now, this one does require a bit of upper-body strength on the penetrating partners behalf, but don’t lie, we’ve all had fantasies of taking Rachel McAdam’s place in The Notebook. So, make them a reality with The Notebook position! Holding the receiving partners legs around your waist, and their arms around your neck as you thrust in, use the natural moments body weight to increase penetration on each thrust!

Why:

I mean, it doesn’t get more intimate than literally being in your partners arms as you both join as one. Minus that sappiness, this position is *chefs kiss* perfect for deep penetration that focuses the g/p-spot

How to Make It Hotter:

Wear a penis ring to maximise vibrations for both yourself and your partner! It’s hands-free vibrations so you can focus on supporting them and maximising the intensity of your thrusts.

8. Sideways Scissoring

How To Do It:

Lay opposite one another; make sure you are facing the receiving partner on your side, and have them laying on their back. Position one of their legs between yours, and pull their other leg over your hips. Finally, slowly thrust until you have a comfortable rhythm.

Why: 

Not only does this intense position assist deep, controlled penetration, but your top leg will be pressed against her vulva, stimulating her clitoris with every move. The result? One (or more) explosive orgasm(s).

How to Make It Hotter:

I mean, can it get hotter? Of course, it can! Hold their leg over you hip on each thrust, and control the rhythm and flow even more!
