Sex Positions – The Ultimate Guide (with tips for a more intense experience)
Share
What are sex positions – and why are they important?
A sex position is more than just a body posture. It determines the angle of penetration, the friction, the control – and thus, what you and your partner actually feel. The same person, the same intensity, but a different position: The result can be completely different.
Studies show that variety in intimacy increases long-term satisfaction. But it's not about trying out as many positions as possible. It's about finding the right ones for you.
What influences which position works?
- Body shape & height differences – some positions work better with certain proportions
- Arousal level – deep penetration feels different at high arousal
- Aids – a pillow, a vibrator, or a high-quality toy can transform any position
- Communication – the best position is the one you've talked about
The Classics: Tried and Tested, but Underestimated
Missionary Position
The missionary position is considered boring – unjustly so. No other sex position offers as much eye contact, physical closeness, and emotional connection. The angle can be dramatically changed with a pillow under the buttocks.

69 Position
Mutual oral sex, simultaneously. The 69 position sounds simpler than it is – coordination and focus are required.
Cowgirl Position
The receiving partner sits on top – and has full control over pace, depth, and angle. Particularly suitable for clitoral stimulation.

Positions for Clitoral Stimulation

A variation of the missionary position where the penetrating person is positioned higher – the base directly stimulates the clitoris. Scientifically proven (Eichel, 1988) as one of the most effective methods for orgasm. Completely hands-free.
Butterfly Position
The receiving person lies on the edge of the bed, legs raised, the penetrating person stands in front. Perfect G-spot angle, both hands completely free.

Advanced Positions

An acrobatic variation for the experienced – the result is unforgettable.
Wheelbarrow Position
The receiving person supports themselves on their hands, while their legs are held by the penetrating person. Intense depth, physically demanding.
Positions for Same-Sex Couples
Gay Sex Positions
Many classic positions work universally. For male couples, angles and depth are crucial for anal penetration. Prone Bone and Cowgirl offer particular intensity here.
Lesbian Positions
Scissoring, tribadism, oral positions, and toy-assisted variations. The variety is greater than many think.
Anal Positions
Anal sex requires preparation, communication, and the right lubricant. The best entry-level positions:
- Spooning Position – relaxed, controllable, ideal for beginners
- Missionary Position with raised legs – good angle, plenty of control
