Sex Positions for When It’s Hot AF Outside:
1. doggy style
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF: Getting in and out is key on days with scalding temperatures, and this position will leave both partners satisfied. Not only does it feel amazing for both people, but it’s also a great way to stimulate the G-spot.
How to do it: The receiving partner will get on all fours while their partner kneels behind them. From there, the penetrating partner will enter from behind and can hold onto the receiver’s hips for stability.
2. happy scissors
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF: Heat and humidity can improve flexibility, and this position capitalizes on that. Plus, it creates a lot of breathing room because the receiver’s legs are splayed in the air. And if that’s not enough, this position also provides deep penetration and can lead to faster, more satisfying orgasms for vulva owners.
How to do it: The receiving partner will lie down on a flat surface, like a bed, table, floor, etc. Then, they’ll spread their legs as far as they can to create a V, mimicking a pair of scissors. From here, the penetrating partner will stand over them, hold their legs for support, and move in.
3. X marks the spot
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF: Similar to happy scissors, this position allows for deep penetration with minimal exertion.
How to do it: The receiver will lie on their back on top of a bed or table with their legs in the air, crossed at the ankles or knees. The giver will stay standing and use their partners’ legs to pull themselves in deep.
4. standing fire hydrant
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF: This position is a crossover between the fire hydrant and doggy style sex positions. So, it minimizes skin-to-skin contact and, therefore, decreases your chances of sweating on each other. Plus, the fact that both partners stay standing allows more air to circulate. What’s more, it also strokes the G-spot.
How to do it: The receiver will bend over and place their chest flat on a countertop while the giver stays standing behind them. Then, the receiver will lift one leg in the air at a 90 degree angle or as far as their flexibility allows. From here, the giver will hold onto their raised leg and enter from behind.
5. spooning
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF: Who says you can’t cuddle during a heatwave?! The spooning sex position is perfect for hot days when you just want to be close since it requires minimal effort from either partner.
How to do it: Lie on your sides, with the giver behind the receiver. From here, the receiver can enter and proceed accordingly. If the positioning feels awkward, the receiver can lift one leg and rest it on their partner’s thigh. Likewise, don’t be afraid to spice things up by playing with some erogenous zones while doing this.
6. reverse cowgirl
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF: It’s no secret that vulva owners take longer to orgasm than penis owners. But with reverse cowgirl, they can target and stimulate the G-spot. And this in turn will increase their chances of orgasming faster, which is ideal when it’s hot AF. Plus, the top partner controls the pace and go as fast or slow as they want to avoid breaking a sweat.
How to do it: The penetrating partner will lie flat on their back while the rider—aka the receiver—faces away from them and gently lowers themselves down on top. From here, the rider can bounce up and down, grind back in forth, in circles, or do whatever feels best. And if you want to switch things up, the bottom partner can move into a sitting position.
7. the linguini
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF: Not only does the linguini minimize bodily contact, but it also maximizes pleasure for both partners. Which is exactly what you need in the summer.
How to do it: The receiver will lie on their side while the giving partner kneels behind their butt with one knee between their partner’s legs. Then, the giver will slightly lean over their partner, using their back to steady themselves as they go in.
8. one leg up
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF: This is a famous shower sex position, but it can also be done against a cool object, like a fridge or freezer. What’s more, the ultra-deep penetration will feel amazing for vulva owners, while the penetrating partner gets to enjoy the view. Really, it’s a win for everyone.
How to do it: The receiver will press themselves up against a wall or flat object, arch their back, and lift one leg up and place it on a nearby object, like a stool, chair, or ledge. From here, the giver will enter from behind, holding onto their hips for support. (P.S: This is a great position for some hair pulling.)
