The 8 Best Sex Positions for Female Orgasm
Many women find it easier to achieve orgasm using hands or toys than during penetrative sex with a partner - but there are some fun, sexy ways to increase your chances! Whether your partner has a penis or uses a toy, penetrative sex can be fun, sexy, and plenty orgasmic. Remember, sex is an activity where each participant's pleasure and orgasm should be prioritized equally. We know it can take a little longer for women to get there. Everyone’s body is different, so you’ll want to experiment to find out what works for you, but here are 8 of the best sex positions for female orgasm:
1. Girl-On-Top
When you’re on top, you’re in control! Sure, it’s a bit more work, but when you can adjust the angle and intensity, you can find out just what your body likes. And if you get off on being in control, that’s extra fun, right? Plus, your partner’s hands are free to stroke, caress, and otherwise help you along.
2. Missionary With A Pillow
Sometimes, it’s all about the angle! Using a pillow under your hips can make penetrative sex more comfortable and more pleasurable, especially for women who enjoy G-spot stimulation. Try different pillows, or fold the pillow in half, to get different heights and see what works best for you. Make sure to throw down a towel, or use a pillow you’re not planning to sleep on. If it turns out that you really enjoy using pillows to amp up your penetrative sex, you can step up your game and get a special sex pillow!
3. Doggy Style With A Pillow
Doggy style, where the female partner is on her hands and knees and her partner enters her from behind, is a classic for a reason. But adding a pillow can enhance the experience and make female orgasm even more likely! Not only will a pillow keep your hips elevated without requiring you to support yourself, there are plenty of options for height and angle that you can’t achieve on your knees.
4. The Right Angle
In this position, the woman lays back on an elevated surface, like a bed or a couch (or a kitchen table, or a piano - hey, we’re not judging!) and her partner lifts her legs up, forming a “right angle” with her body. In this position, deep and intense penetration is possible, plus it’s very easy for either of you to reach your clitoris, helping you to orgasm. For an even more intense experience, have your partner hold your legs in an “X” shape.
5. The Drill
This variation on missionary has the woman wrap her legs around the penetrating partner. In this position, you can give some non-verbal feedback to your partner about the pace and depth. You also gain more closeness, which contributes to a sense of safety and intimacy that many women require for orgasm. Plus, it spreads your legs wide, meaning your clitoris will get more stimulation!
6. Face Down
This position is a combination of missionary and doggy style, and it’s as scorching as it is simple. Lying face down, let your partner enter you from behind. For some added heat, slide one hand underneath yourself and give your clit some attention! Try adding a pillow under your hips, too - sometimes that elusive orgasm is just a new angle away.
7. Spooning
Snuggly and intimate, the “spooning” position is a favorite among women who find it difficult to orgasm from more intense positions. While the mechanics are somewhat similar to doggy style - bent at the waist and entered from behind - it’s much gentler, preventing hard thrusts and deep penetration. If you need a more delicate touch to achieve orgasm, try this sweet position!
8. Your Favorite Position - With A Bonus
Bodies like what they like, and they’re all unique. If you already have a position you enjoy, but don’t always orgasm during sex in that position, try adding a toy! Vibrating toys can often make a huge difference when it comes to the female orgasm. Include your partner by using a vibrating cock ring, or having them use the toy on you during sex. Or, ensure that you’ll get exactly what you want by taking control of the toy yourself. Not sure where to start? Check out our exclusive sex toy kits.
