Best Sex Positions For Beginners
We’re always hearing that we could be having better sex, a better orgasm, or a better relationship.
Here are my recommendations for the five best sex positions for beginners.
Missionary, With Your Legs Pulled In
When you’re in Missionary, lift your feet off the bed and pull your knees into your chest. You can do this while he’s inside of you or before he penetrates you. As he pushes in and out of you, let your hips rock back and forth. For him, the movement is pretty similar to what he’s doing during Missionary.
Missionary, With A Pillow Under Your Hips
Props and pillows are a good way to make any position more comfortable. Every body is different, and if the way you fit together doesn't quite work, or makes your lower back twitch, don't suffer through— find something that works for the both of you. According to Durex, you can use a pillow "under the woman's hips or buttocks during missionary-style sex to deepen penetration", and just to make things more comfortable.
Dangling Over The Edge Of The Bed
Get over to the edge of the bed and let your legs hang off. He places his body between your legs and enters you. You’re pretty much along for the ride with this one, and he gets to thrust away to his heart’s content! This is an easy position for guys because it doesn’t require him to hold up his body weight with his arms.
Girl On Top
How to do it: Have him sit in a chair. You want to find one that’s short and sturdy, and doesn’t have wheels. It’s also preferable to use something that doesn’t have armrests, since those can get in the way. Slowly lower yourself onto him like you did with girl on top (again, you may want to start with a different position first or use lube). Both of your feet will be on the ground, which will give you lots of leverage. You can also hold on to the back of the chair or to his shoulders for additional support. You can easily move up and down, or you can grind your hips in a seductive circle or figure-eight pattern.
When you’re new to sex, it can be awkward in the moment to not only try to think of what you want to do next, but also to figure out how to get into that position too. I would recommend that you and your boyfriend look at pictures of sex positions together, outside of the bedroom. Looking at pictures and talking through logistics together will make it a lot easier to try new things once you’re naked!
AND REMEMBER: safe sex is important.
