4 Sex Positions Every Man Should Try

by

As the classic comedy, Clerks famously quipped, it’s simple for men to reach orgasm. (“Insert somewhere close and preferably moist; thrust; repeat.”)

But for her to reach the big O? Count the ways. According to the latest research published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, vaginal and clitoral orgasms are, in fact, separate sensations.

Don’t obsess over the source of her pleasure, though—just try something new. Interest in testing out new positions actually makes a big difference in her pleasure and her arousal, explains Jen Landa, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of BodyLogicMD and author of The Sex Drive Solution for Women.

Whether your goal is to give her a blended orgasm or target her G-spot, focus on vaginal pleasure or hone in on her clitoris, we’ve rounded up four positions that will help you perform like a pro in between the sheets.

For ultimate access to her clitoris, try: The Pretzel a.k.a. The Camel Ride

How it works: Kneel and straddle her left leg while she’s lying on her left side. From here, she should bend her right leg around the right side of your waist—allowing full access to her vagina. This position is an upgrade from standard missionary because this sets you up for deeper penetration and allows you to slow your roll.  “Most women find sex much more pleasurable when it’s not just constant thrusting,” says Landa. So spend some time exploring her body.  This setup gives you complete access to her clitoris for manual stimulation. But don’t feel limited to solely hands on fun. Try withdrawing your penis and, while holding the shaft with your left hand, rub the head against her clitoris. Start out soft and slow, then as you increase speed and pressure, reinsert once you’ve brought her to the brink of an orgasm.

For targeting her G-Spot, try: The Standing Dragon a.k.a. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Serpent

How it works: Position her on the edge of the bed, posing on all fours. As you stand behind her, have her arch her back so it lifts her butt upward. With your legs outside of hers, use your thighs to squeeze her knees together, which tightens her vagina around your penis. This position is ideal for G-spot stimulation and also gives you a great view of her curves.

For intensifying vaginal pleasure, you should try: The Flatiron a.k.a. Downward Dog

How it works: Have her lie face down on the bed with her knees slightly bent and hips slightly raised. For comfort, and to increase the angle of her hips, you can suggest placing a pillow under her lower abs. From here, enter her from behind and keep your weight off of her by propping yourself up with your arms. This position creates a snug fit—which intensifies her pleasure by making you feel larger to her. (A killer tip for you: You’ll last longer in this position if you switch to shallower thrusts and deeper breaths.)

For optimal dual pleasure, you should try: The Pole Position a.k.a. Thighmaster

How it works: Lie on your back and bend one of your legs, keeping the other outstretched. Have her straddle the raised leg with a thigh on either side and then lower herself onto your member so that her back is facing you. From here, she should hold your knee and use it for support as she rocks up and down. “This position is great, because it’s a lot like the reverse cowgirl, but with a twist,” says Landa. Raising your knee allows her to rub against your thigh—which produces optimal clitoral stimulation, says Landa.

Working Up A Sweat With Your Man

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Working out with your man can do wonders for your relationship. Not only does exercise provide the perfect opportunity to share goals and accomplishments, but the bonding that takes place during a workout can actually get you fired up for other things. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic, regular exercise makes you look better and feel more energized, all while increasing sexual arousal. Simply put, the people who workout more, have more sex; and, the couples who workout together…well, let’s just say the stars align!

If you’re not currently working up a sweat with your man, there’s no need to…well…sweat it. Ease into a new togetherness routine by trying active date nights or signing up for a race that you can train for together. The whole point of couples workouts is to have fun, so find something you both enjoy or that you’ve always wanted to try and start with just one or two couples routines a week. Check out a few of our favorite date night workout ideas.

TURNING DATE NIGHT INTO A WORKOUT

According to a recent survey by WET, the best-selling line of personal lubricants, more than 67 percent of respondents said that workouts noticeably increased their sex drive. So, what better way to heat things up with your date than by working up a sweat on date night? Here are a few suggestions for keeping things flirty and fun:

  • Choose an activity that is new to both of you. You may feel a little awkward at first, but you’ll both be learning (and laughing) together – a great way to improve your bond. Activities like indoor rock climbing, snowboarding or surfing are all great options. If you’re less of an adventurer, try renting a tandem bike or a set of inline skates for the afternoon. Who knows, you just might pick up a new, shared hobby!
  • Choose an activity you haven’t done in years. If you haven’t gone ice skating or mini golfing since you were a kid, use date night as the perfect opportunity to revisit your past. You can also look for new twists to an old activity – like heading to an indoor trampoline gym or turning a hike into a geocaching adventure.
  • Choose an activity that encourages touching. This is especially important for couples who have been together for years. It’s easy to get sucked up in the dullness of day-to-day life and forget to hold hands, hug and kiss. By finding activities that encourage touching, you can help re-ignite your fire. Try couples yoga, salsa dancing or even strength training – every time you need a spot, your man will be right there to help you!
