Sex Positions for When It’s Hot AF Outside:
1. doggy style
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF outside: Doggy style minimizes skin-to-skin contact and is a quick and easy way to get off since it feels amazing for both people. Plus, it’s a great way to stimulate the G-spot.
How to do it: Whoever’s receiving the penetration will get on all fours while their partner kneels behind them and enters them from behind.
2. happy scissors
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF outside: A quickie position that lets you test your flexibility? Yes, please. (Spoiler alert: heat and humidity can make your body looser and more flexible.) The splayed legs of the receiving partner in this position creates less bodily contact and allow for more breathing room between your two bodies’. Plus, it’s a great quickie position that allows for deep penetration. And, let’s be real—a quickie is often what we need on a hot and humid day.
How to do it: The receiving partner can start by laying down on a flat surface (think: bed, countertop, table, floor, etc.) and spreading their legs as far as they can. (This will mimic a pair of open scissors, which is where the position gets its namesake.) Then, the penetrating partner can hold their legs for support and move in.
3. X marks the spot
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF outside: Similar to happy scissors, this position allows for deep penetration with minimal exertion.
How to do it: Find a flat surface (preferably a bed or a table) and have the receiving partner lay flat on their back with their legs in the air crossed at ankles or knees. Then, the receiving partner 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 outside: This modified variation of the fire hydrant sex position is a variant of doggy style and allows you to get creative, test your flexibility, and gives you room for ultimate penetration and a chance to stroke the G-spot. Doing this standing will allow more air to circulate around your bodies so you won’t have to peel yourselves off of one another when you’re done.
How to do it: Find a flat surface the receiving partner can bend over and rest their chest on. They’ll then lift one leg in the air at around a 90° angle, or as far as their flexibility allows and they’re comfortable with. The giving partner will then hold their leg and get to work while staying standing. (Spoiler alert: this is a great position to do in the kitchen.)
5. spooning
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF outside: The spooning position is an intimate favorite and requires minimal effort from both partners. Both partners are laying down for this, so there’s no work imbalance because there isn’t one partner doing all the work while the other’s playing submissive.
How to do it: Both partners will lay down on their side, with the giving behind the receiving. The person behind will then enter and proceed accordingly. If needed, the receiving partner can lift one leg up to make things easier. Don’t forget that with this position there are tons of points of stimulation available, like the neck, chest and clit.
6. reverse cowgirl
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF outside: The cowgirl is a position those with a vulva love because it’s one of the quickest ways to stimulate the G-spot and reach climax (you’re welcome for those who didn’t know already). That said, though, the skin-on-skin contact is more intense in that position, which is why the reverse cowgirl is perfect for when it’s hot AF outside. Plus, whoever’s on top can control the pace and go as fast or slow as they want in order to avoid breaking out in a sweat.
How to do it: The person doing the penetration will lie flat on their back while the rider—aka the one receiving—faces away from them and lowers themselves down. If you want to switch it up, have the bottom partner move into a sitting position.
7. the linguini
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF outside: This super unique position minimizes bodily contact and is optimal for maximum pleasure for both partners.
How to do it: The receiving partner will lie on their side while the giving partner kneels directly behind their butt with one knee in between their legs. From there, the one doing the penetration can lean ever-so-slightly over their partner, and use their partners’ back to steady themselves as they go in.
8. one leg up
Why it’s good for when it’s hot AF outside: This is a famous shower sex position, but it can also be done up against a cool object (think: fridge). It also minimizes skin-to-skin contact and still gives you ultra-deep penetration. Really, it’s a win-win for everyone.
How to do it: The receiving partner will press themselves up against a wall or flat object (like the shower or the fridge) arch their back, and lift one leg up in the air and place that leg on an object like a stool or chair while the other one stays on the ground while the giving partner penetrates them from behind, holding onto their hips for support.
