Sex positions to try this weekend:
1. Netflix and Thrill
Why it’s good for the weekend: This is the perfect move for a lazy Sunday and will get your mind off of those Sunday scaries. This position is also easy to get into if you’re already snuggling (with or without clothes on).
How to do it: Both partners will lay on their side with the penetrating behind the receiving, and the receiving partner will lift their leg up and place it behind their partner’s butt; this will bring them closer together. From there, the penetrating partner can hold onto their leg or chest and go in. Whoever’s doing the penetration shouldn’t be able to move their hands or mouth a little bit, either (think: kiss their neck, bite their ear, etc).
2. The Crab
Why it’s good for the weekend: This position can take some maneuvering to get right and requires you to take it slow, which is why doing it on a day where there’s extra time to kill is perfect. Plus, it’s an ideal position for mind-blowing yet intimate sex. The most important thing to remember with this position is to take it slow. This is especially important for bottom partners with a penis, because any sudden movement can strain it.
How to do it: The receiving partner will lay flat on their back with their legs out straight and the receiver will slowly lower themselves on top of them with their legs out in front, bent at the knees. From there, the top partner will lean back slightly and place their hands on their partner’s ankles or thighs. The bottom partner will then lift their neck up and hold onto their partner’s calves. Then, the top partner can get to work, slowly moving up and down or grinding back and forth.
3. Victory
Why it’s good for the weekend: Fall marks the beginning of cuffing season, and this intimate position is sure to heat things up. The angle of this position also allows for ultra-deep penetration, which will give vulva owners some major G-spot stimulation.
How to do it: The receiving partner will lie flat on their back while the giving partner kneels in front of them, grabbing onto their legs and holding them out in a V-shaped position. They’ll stay kneeling and holding on as they move in from there and thrust deep.
4. The Arch
Why it’s good for the weekend: Sometimes going back to basics is key to increasing intimacy. The arch puts a fresh spin on the standard missionary position. For those with a vulva, this move increases the chance for internal orgasm; and the deep penetration feels amazing for both partners. Really, it’s a win-win for everyone.
How to do it: Set up like you normally would for missionary with the bottom partner’s hips and butt in the air (like they’re doing a glute bridge or hip thrust). The bottom partner can either hold this position themselves or place a pillow underneath their hips and butt for support. Then, the top partner will hold onto the sides of their partner’s glutes and move in.
5. Oral Sex: Lying on Your Stomach
Why it’s good for the weekend: Oral sex is never a bad idea, and fans of doggy style will love this one. Although this move isn’t groundbreaking, it’s commonly overlooked. It gives the giver a great view and the receiver access to touch themselves if they want to. That said, this position really works best if the receiver has a vagina.
How to do it: Have the receiving partner lie flat on their stomach with their legs slightly spread apart and their hips slightly arched (their chest should stay flat against the surface). From there, the giving partner will then use their mouth and go at them from behind.
6. Simple Scissors
Why it’s good for the weekend: Getting into this one is easier than it looks (hence the name, LOL), and it provides ahh-mazing stimulation for both partners. That said, this one can create a lot of friction, so don’t be afraid to whip out some lube to keep things slippery and prevent chafing. (Lube is amazing, FYI.)
How to do it: Of course, if you’re having sex with a penis and vagina, then the penis-owner will be the bottom, but if both partners have a vagina, it doesn’t matter who’s on top. The bottom partner will sit up with one leg straight out and the other bent, leaning back slightly and placing their hands behind them for support; the top partner will face away from them with both legs bent at the knees and out to the side. This will make it so they’re leaning ever-so-slightly over to one side. From there, the top partner can proceed accordingly.
