Best Sex Positions Based on Your Mood
How do you pick your sex positions? When you stop to think about it, several factors go into choosing which position you get into to get it on. Choosing sex positions based on your mood can significantly enhance the intimacy and satisfaction of your experience, tailoring the encounter to match your emotional state.
Maybe you consider practical things like how much time and privacy you have. And you probably tune into what would feel amazing to your body. But what about your mood? How does your mood (and your partner’s mood) factor into your sex life?
Why You Need to Tune-in to Your Mood
Sex involves more of you than just your body’s needs and cravings. If you want to have great sex, it’s essential to be in tune with your mind, emotions, and your overall disposition.
You’re a human being living in the twenty-first century. You’re dealing with a lot! And to live a healthy, fulfilling life, you need to nourish yourself in various ways. This is true in life, and it's true when it comes to sex.
To feel sexually satisfied and to nourish your sexual self, you need different sexual activities at different times. When setting yourself up to have the best sex possible, it’s important to check in with your mood, and then choose sex positions based on your mood.
The Benefits of Different Sex Positions for Different Moods
One benefit of picking a sex position informed by your mood is that you can use sex as a tool for tending to yourself. If you’re in a great mood, sex can enhance or prolong it!
Or, if you're dealing with a less desirable mood, sex may be a way to ease it or help it pass. And, as a bonus, you get laid in the process. ;)
Another benefit is the opportunity for communication and intimate connection with your partner. You end up having some juicy, intimate conversations when you talk about your mood and how to incorporate it into your sex life.
Remember to reciprocate and ask your partner if they need to tend to their mood and how you can support them in that together in the sack.
Best Sex Positions for Your Mood
Here are some sex position suggestions for you, based on your mood. Give them a try and tailor them to suit your needs!
Just a heads up, sometimes a sex position may be called different names by different people, so you may know these positions by other names. Regardless of what you call them, they’re hot!
When You’re Feeling Anxious
These days, who doesn’t feel a little anxious from time to time? For most people, having sex is a fantastic way to calm their nerves and get a boost of some feel-good hormones, which help relieve anxiety. Sex just may be what you need to relax!
Spooning
You and your partner lie on your side, facing the same direction. The big spoon penetrates the little spoon. Or use your hands or toys to manually stimulate each other.
When You’re Feeling Passionate
You could feel passionate about yourself, your partner, or your life in general. And if you’re already feeling passionate, why not go ahead and give that mood a boost? This position allows for deep eye-gazing and maximum skin-to-skin contact.
Seated Lotus
The penetrating partner sits with their legs straight or with their knees bent. The receiving partner sits on the penetrating partner’s lap, facing them. The receiving partner wraps their legs around the other’s bottom. Now grind.
When You’re Feeling Lazy
Just because you’re feeling low on energy doesn’t mean you can’t get it on! The next time you feel “meh” about sex, give this position a try. It’s practically effortless.
Lazy Doggy
It’s a simple variation of the classic doggy style position. The only difference is that in lazy doggy, the receiving partner moves from being on hands and knees to lying in a prone position.
When You’re Feeling Playful
Sex is basically playtime for adults. So what better way to honor a playful mood than to engage in sex? A playful mood is perfect for sexual creativity and experimentation. So make the most of your playfulness and try something new, maybe even something unusual.
The Mermaid
The receiving partner lies on their back on the edge of the bed, or you can get creative and lay on a table or desk or counter. The penetrating partner stands and enters in the front. The receiving partner extends their legs toward the ceiling. The penetrating partner can hold on to them for leverage.
When You’re Feeling Silly
When you find yourself in a silly mood, this is the perfect time to try a new position. You may have a few friendly giggles getting set up, but once you get going, you’ll love the G-spot stimulation you get in this position.
The Plow
The receiving partner leans over the edge of the bed, supporting their weight by resting their elbows on the bed. The penetrating partner stands behind the receiving partner between their thighs. Then, the penetrating partner lifts the receiving partner by their hips and waist. The receiving partner straightens their legs on either side of the penetrating partner.
