What are the best sex positions for beginners?

Missionary

It is one of the most talked about sexual positions and is described as a classic that never gets old.

Missionary is an intimate position that requires a lot of intense eye contact and deep thrusting.

To get the most out of the movement, one partner needs to lie on their back, while the other lies directly on top.

While this is a great foundation, couples can also choose to mix things up a bit and can always make small changes as they look for what’s best for both parties.

For example, try changing the angle of your hips or lifting your legs to find new sensations.

Sometimes keeping it simple between the sheets really is best.

And as the name suggests, this one is self-explanatory – your partner lies down while you straddle him.

You can also use your arms to balance yourself on your partner’s chest if necessary, but the key to this position is bouncing up and down—and it’s also what burns the most calories.

You can go as slow or as fast as you want and relieve tension by leaning back so your weight rests more on your thighs.

And if you want to try something a little different, there’s always reverse cowgirl or, when you’re feeling confident, a different approach called Full Nelson.

While cowgirl can lead to great orgasms, it can also be tiring on your legs.

So this spin on the classic position is ideal if you still want all the pleasure that everyday cowgirl offers – but with less effort.

Start exactly the same way you would with a regular cowgirl, but this time, your partner lifts their hips to meet each thrust, while also supporting some of your weight by gripping your thighs.

You will find that you can last longer in this position as it puts less stress on your legs, and there are also many other tips for making the most of your bedroom activities, especially if you are a man.

To harvest

You often hear people discussing spooning sex in their sleep — but it’s also a win when you’re getting intimate.

It’s exactly the same spooning position as when you’re cuddled, but you just need to bring your knees slightly closer together and let your partner enter you from behind.

The spoon is perfect for morning sex or on days or nights when you don’t feel energetic.

Doggy is loved by many across the country in all its forms – and now it has a more direct and easy feel.

Also known as ‘lazy doggy’ or ‘speed bump’, this position involves lying on your stomach with your hips slightly raised.

This position makes it easier for one partner to relax while the person penetrating enters from behind.

To spice things up even more, try moving your hips slightly to create a different sensation.

face each other

For this position, what matters is the connection, because instead of standing up, your partner sits on the edge of the bed or chair, and you jump on top, facing them.

You’re right next to your partner’s face with this one, so you can whisper in their ear, letting them know how you feel and giving any other details or intimate instructions if you like dirty talk.

Since you’re both sitting, this is a great choice if you want to last longer and save energy for later positions—after all, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

How can you make sex easier?

Do you find that being intimate is sometimes a struggle?

The Sun’s agony aunt Deidre Sanders previously revealed her top tips to help improve and make your bedroom life easier. She said:

• Vary the environment: if you always make love in your good old double bed, look for opportunities to vary WHERE and WHEN you make love.
• Learn massage: being touched with affection is one of our most basic human needs
• Change positions: you often tend to settle for one or two that work
• Take your time: to discover the more intense pleasure and passionate intimacy that is a good, lasting relationship, which will more than replace the thrill of newness, you have to take your time
• Holding hands: If sex seems to be losing its sensation for you and you find it harder to get aroused, try placing your hand over your partner’s hand while he touches and caresses you
