Whether it’s Hollywood movies or homemade porn, we’re used to seeing women cumming every single time. But let’s be honest – real life isn’t always quite so explosive. In fact for many of us women, having sex doesn’t automatically mean having an orgasm. And if that sounds familiar, you’ve come to the right place.

We’ve got five positions that we reckon can turn your sex from ‘oh’ to your Big-O (and whilst we all know that one size never fits all, we hope you’ll have fun trying). 

1. Supported missionary

Think missionary’s boring? Think again. Sometimes, simple is simply sexy.

You below, him on top, so far so usual. Now try putting a pillow (or two) under your bum to add a little something extra. It’ll raise your hips so your partner can go deeper and your clit should be perfectly positioned for stimulation. His weight on you between your legs can be a real turn-on too.

2. Cowgirl

Get on top and take control, girl.

 He’s laying down, you’re sat across and facing him. Once he’s inside you and you’ve got a rhythm going, start changing things up – a little faster, a little slower. Long slow slides mixed up with just-enough-to-where-you-like-it. You’re in control so do what feels good for you – if you wanna get your grind on then girl, you go for it. Taking charge in this way can be a massive turn on for you and for him. Oh, and remember that if your hands aren’t busy then you’re free to play (and so is he) – trying reaching down to your clit, ask him to play with your breasts or maybe one of you reaches for a sex toy…

3. The kitchen table

Why wait until bed? Spontaneous sex can be really, really hot (And it beats emptying the dishwasher any day).

For this position, get yourself up onto a waist-high table (or get him to pick you up and put you there, if you want to feel a little more dominated). With your bum on the edge of the table, lie back and let your partner slide inside. Wrap your legs around their back or get them over his shoulders if you’re flexible and you want to feel it even deeper. Their hands are free to touch you, so get those fingers working on your clit or your breasts or wherever does it for you. And maybe keep some lube handy – getting things wetter could help you cum sooner.

4. Against the wall

Standing-up-sex. Not always the easiest, but we reckon this variation’s worth another go…

Have the top of your back against the wall and lean your hips forward, wrapping one leg around your partner to allow them to slide in. Then enjoy finding out how deep and fast you both like it. Having your hips forward like this in an upright position can be one of the best ways to give that sometimes-difficult-to-reach/hypothetical G-spot plenty of attention. Just remember to change legs every now and again, all that balancing can tire them out!. 

5. The chair

If you don’t fancy standing up, then this sitting position really hits the spot.

Grab a chair that has a back (but isn’t too bulky) and get your partner sat down and facing forward before you get on top and straddle him, sliding him inside you. If you can, keep your feet on the ground as this will make it easier for you to move up and down (as you can use the floor to push against). Then it’s up to you – however fast or slow – and deep – you want it.
