(Redirected from Sex positions)

This list of sex positions is a list of different ways to have sexual intercourse and other sexual acts.

Intercourse change

These positions involve a penis going into a vagina, or the anus.

On top with front entry change

 
Lovers in the missionary position

These positions are used for vaginal, or anal sex. The basic position is called the missionary position. In it, the receiving partner lies on their back with legs apart. The penetrating partner lies on top of the receiving partner, facing them. The penetrating partner enters so that the base of the penis rubs the clitoris.

From behind change

 
A doggy style position

Most of these positions can be used for either vaginal, or anal sex.

The receiving partner is kneeling or on all four limbs. The penetrating partner inserts their penis from behind. This position is sometimes called as the doggy style position.

On top change

Most of these positions can be used for either vaginal, or anal sex.

The receiving partner is on their hands and knees with their bottom exposed. The penetrating partner then pumps away at the receiving partner's vagina or anus with his penis.

Sitting and kneeling change

 
Sitting position

Most of these positions can be used for either vaginal, or anal sex.

The penetrating partner sits down, with their legs stretched out. The receiving partner sits on top and wraps their legs around the penetrating partner. This is called pounding on the spot.

Standing change

 
Standing position

In the basic standing position, both partners stand facing each other and have vaginal sex. The shorter partner can stand on a stair if the partners are different heights. It may be easier if the person being penetrated has their back to a wall.

Anal change

Most of the above positions can be used for anal sex.

  • From behind. This position is good for thrusting.
  • On top with front entry. The penetrating partner is between the receiving partner's legs. This position is good for beginners, because it allows them to relax.


Outercourse change

Outercourse or frottage is sometimes part of foreplay, or to avoid intercourse.

Genital-genital sex change

Genital-genital sex, sometimes called GG rubbing, is when two people rub penises together (sometimes called frot, or frottage), or when two people rub vulvae together (sometimes called tribadism, or scissoring).

Oral sex change

Oral sex is the term given to genital stimulation by the mouth. People may engage in oral sex as part of foreplay before intercourse, or during, or following intercourse. It may also be performed for its own sake.

Fellatio change

Fellatio is a kind of oral sex that involves a person letting their penis be licked, or "eaten" by their partner. The person's partner can be any gender, or sex. There are several ways to have oral sex.

  • The person with male genitalia lies on their back while their partner kneels between their legs.
  • The person with male genitalia lies on their back while their partner lies off to the side of their legs.
  • The person with male genitalia sits in a chair and their partner kneels in front of them between their legs.
  • The person with male genitalia stands while their partner either kneels in front of them or sits (in a chair or on the edge of a bed, etc.) and bends forward.
  • The person with male genitalia's partner lies on their back with their mouth open and the person with male genitalia lies so that their penis is in their partner's mouth.

Note: Fellatio doesn't have to involve two people. Some people with male genitalia have a long-enough penis and a good enough stretch to lick or put their own penis into their mouth. However, this is called autofellatio or autofellation.

Cunnilingus change

Cunnilingus is oral sex involving a person's female genitals. There are several ways to have oral sex.

  • One partner lies on their back as in the missionary position. The active partner lies on their front between the first partner's legs.
  • The active partner sits. The other partner stands facing away and bends at the hips.
  • The active partner sits. The other partner stands or squats facing towards partner.
  • The partner sits on the bed with their legs open, the active partner kneels in front of them.
  • The active partner lies on their back while the other sits on the active partner's mouth.

69 change

  • One partner is on all fours. The active partner is behind them.
  • A partner is on their back with their legs up.

  • A participant has vaginal or anal sex with one partner, and both have oral sex with a third.
