Ah, oral sex. You know what I’m talking about: the act of using your lips, mouth and tongue to stimulate the genitals. Whether you’re doing it during foreplay, as the main event, or even for dessert, there’s nothing quite like it. It’s an important part of a healthy sex life.
However, just like anything else in life, oral sex can become stale. This is usually accidental and due to the fact that once you figure out what you like, those moves become your go-to. On the other hand, some people might shy away from oral sex altogether because they haven’t found a position that works for them yet.
Whatever the case may be, no one should be missing out on the mind-blowing orgasms that oral sex can bring. So long as you and your partner are safe and comfortable, it’s time to introduce some new mouth-watering positions into your life.
Important Tips for Oral Sex:
Before you go down on your partner, here are some important tips to remember:
- Oral sex isn’t a one-size-fits-all. Everyone’s different, so what works and feels good will vary from person-to-person.
- Communication is key. Telling your partner what you like and want is key to having a satisfying sex life. If something feels good, let them know! If it doesn’t, try politely suggesting they do something else. Likewise, if they’re uncomfortable with oral sex, check out this guide on how to talk to them about it.

Oral Sex Positions To Try:
1. Face-sitting
Why you should try it: This is a win-win for both parties. The giver has a nice view of their partner and can reach out and grab hold of their chest or butt, and the receiver can control the movement if they want by riding against their partner’s mouth and tongue for extra stimulation, so long as the giver agrees to it. Although the receiver in this move is commonly associated with vulva owners, it also works for penis-owners as well. Just have them “feed” it into their partner’s mouth at an angle that won’t suffocate them.
How to do it: The giver will lie flat on their back while the receiver straddles their face either facing forward so they can see their partner’s face, or facing away from them.
2. Doggy Style
Why you should try it: Doggy style isn’t just for penetration—it’s also a great oral sex position. Since the giving partner’s mouth is coming at another angle, the receiver can experience different feelings and sensations. That said, although this position typically works best on those with a vulva or for ass-eating, it can work on penis-owners with a little bit of maneuvering.
How to do it: One partner will get on all fours while the other kneels behind them. From there, the giver will use their mouth to go at them from behind.
3. Sitting Down
Why you should try it: Although this position is commonly used for blowjobs, it can also work eating out. This move is super versatile, and there’s really no limit to where it can be performed— on a chair, on the edge of a couch or bed, on top of a table or kitchen counter, in the shower, etc. You can get creative with it and have fun! Plus, it can be very empowering for the receiver.
How to do it: This one’s pretty straightforward: One partner sits while the other kneels down and performs oral sex on them. For those receiving with a vulva, make sure your hips and pelvis are titled slightly forward and up; this will allow easier access for your partner. The giving partner can also place a pillow, cushion, or soft blanket underneath their knees if they’re going to be at it for a long time.
4. Kneeling at the Edge
Why you should try it: Kneeling at the edge ups the ante of the standard laying down oral sex position and places one person on the ground while the other stays elevated on the edge of a flat surface, like a bed or the end of a couch. This position also frees up the hands of the giving partner, so they can stimulate the receiver’s erogenous zones or use a sex toy vaginally or anally.
How to do it: Find a flat surface and have the receiving partner lie flat on their back with their butt at the edge and feet dangling off. From here, the giving partner will kneel in front of them and please them orally. For extra balance, the receiver can place their feet on their partner’s shoulders, and for more comfort, the giver can place a cushion, blanket, or pillow underneath their knees.
5. The Kivin Method
Why you should try it: Another twist on the standard laying down method, The Kivin Method is super versatile and works for both blowjobs and cunnilingus. The stimulation comes from a different angle so the receiving partner can experience different sensations. This position usually works best on a large, flat surface, like a bed.
How to do it: The receiving partner will lie flat on their back while the giving partner will lie on their stomach, perpendicular to their partner’s body. From there, the giving partner can go in. For those receiving with a vulva, you can also place one knee on the back of your partner’s neck. This will open up the legs more and, in turn, increase clitoral stimulation.
6. Standing
Why you should try it: If you really want to feel powerful, stay standing while your partner performs oral sex on you. Since this position is often used for blowjobs, it can be especially empowering for a vulva owner getting eaten out. This is also a great way to experiment with power dynamics, and can also be performed in the shower or up against a wall or table for extra balance.
How to do it: Another move that’s pretty straightforward: The receiving partner will stay standing while the giving partner kneels in front of them and pleases them with their mouth. If you’re receiving and have a vulva, be sure to stand up against something (like a wall) with your legs slightly spread apart and pelvis pushed out.
7. Sideways 69
Why you should try it: The 69 is so beloved due to the fact that both partners are simultaneously giving and receiving pleasure. There’s no power imbalance happening here, so one partner isn’t working harder than the other. So, if you love the classic 69, you’ll love this sideways twist. Plus, it’s easier on your neck than the traditional 69.
How to do it: Both partners will lay on on their sides with their feet are at the other’s head. Then, both partners will take their top leg and place it behind their partner’s neck. From there, both can place their mouth on their partner’s genitals and go in.
