Let’s be honest — even the best sex can fall into a bit of a routine sometimes. You know what works, what gets you both off, and that’s great… but there’s something exciting about mixing it up and trying something new. That’s exactly what this guide is for.  

Whether you’re feeling flirty, deeply connected, or just a bit randy after a glass of wine and a wink across the room, these eight positions are designed to bring some fresh energy into the bedroom (or the living room, or wherever the mood takes you). We’ve chosen a mix — some are slow and sensual, some are more adventurous, and all of them are positions we’d actually do. Nothing overly acrobatic, no twisted-up nonsense — just sexy, feel-good ways to get closer and have fun.

Each position comes with a quick breakdown of how to do it, what makes it great, and little tips to turn things up a notch — whether that’s adding a toy, switching locations, or changing the angle. They’re illustrated too, so you’ve got a clear visual for inspiration — because sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand moans.

We’re not here to reinvent sex. We’re just sharing positions that help you connect, laugh, tease, and discover new ways to please each other. That’s what great sex is about, right?

So grab your lube, keep an open mind, and see which one you’ll be trying first tonight…  



Couple in Lovers’ Embrace sex position – intimate face-to-face seated pose

1. Lovers’ Embrace

Also known as: Yab Yum, Tantric Sit, Lotus Position

The Vibe: ✨
Soft, sensual, and all about connection. Lovers’ Embrace is one of those positions that makes you feel totally in sync with your partner — perfect when you want that full-body closeness and a slower, more intimate rhythm. It’s not just about penetration; it’s about feeling everything — emotionally and physically.

How to Do It:
Your partner sits upright with their legs extended or slightly bent for balance. You straddle them face-to-face, wrapping your legs around their waist. From there, you can move at your own pace — slow grinding, gentle rocking, or deeper thrusts depending on your mood. It's a position where both people feel completely involved, and it naturally encourages eye contact, kissing, and hands roaming wherever they please.

We’ve found this one especially lovely during slower, more affectionate sessions. It’s a chance to really tune into each other — you’re not rushing toward orgasm, you’re enjoying the build-up, the warmth, the connection.

Why You'll Love It: 💜
This position gives you heaps of control, especially if you're the one on top. It’s ideal for teasing, building tension, or having a laugh together when things get a bit wobbly (we’ve had a few giggles getting the balance right!). Because you’re face-to-face, it feels genuinely connected — perfect for when you want sex to feel more than just physical.

To Spice It Up: 🔥
Slip a bullet vibrator between your bodies for clitoral stimulation with every movement. Sit on a soft cushion or sex wedge to shift the angle for even more G-spot pressure. Or take it to the bath for a steamy, slippery session — just make sure you’ve got grip!


Standing Carry sex position – passionate lift with body-to-body intimacy

2. Standing Carry

Also known as: Ballet Dancer, Lift and Wrap, Uplift Love, Wall Support (variation)

The Vibe: ✨
Urgent, dominant, and dripping with passion. The Standing Carry is one of those positions that makes you feel like you’re starring in your own steamy movie scene. It’s bold, intimate, and a little bit wild — perfect for those moments when you just can’t wait to get horizontal.

How to Do It:
One partner lifts the other, who wraps their legs around their waist and arms around their shoulders. The position works best when the lifter is strong enough to hold the other comfortably — or you can lean against a wall for extra support. The lifted partner grinds and rocks while being held tightly — full-on connection, zero distance.

This one’s best when the mood is already hot. Think kitchen quickie, hallway surprise, or “we’re not even making it to the bedroom” vibes. It’s not one for slow and sensual — this is raw chemistry.

Why You'll Love It: 💜
The angle gives deep, intense penetration, and the closeness makes it feel electric. You’re face-to-face, free to kiss, talk dirty, or whisper sweet nothings. It’s sexy, it’s fun, and it makes you feel completely wrapped up in each other.

To Spice It Up: 🔥
If lifting’s tricky, use a wall or a sturdy counter for balance. You can also add a vibrating cock ring to increase stimulation for both of you. We’ve even played with teasing each other beforehand using a remote control toy — by the time you’re pressed against the wall, it’s game on.


Lotus Lift sex position – intimate seated pose with legs raised over shoulders

3. Lotus Lift

Also known as: Shoulder Yab Yum, Elevated Lotus, Seated Wrap

The Vibe: ✨
Deep, intimate, and seriously sensual. The Lotus Lift is a face-to-face position that creates incredible closeness and a fresh angle for deeper, more focused pleasure. It’s the kind of sex that feels slow, purposeful, and completely in sync.

How to Do It:
One of you sits upright with your legs bent or crossed for balance and comfort. The other partner straddles while facing you, lifting their legs up and over your shoulders. It’s more stable than it looks, and once you’re in, the closeness is unreal — think chest-to-chest, eyes locked, and bodies wrapped together.

This is one of our favourites when we want something slow and emotional with a bit more intensity. It’s perfect for lazy mornings or nights when you just want to take your time and enjoy each other — no rush, just a delicious build-up.

Why You'll Love It: 💜
The angle is brilliant for G-spot stimulation, and the upright posture encourages kissing, stroking, and holding onto each other. It’s a position that really pulls you into the moment — physically and emotionally.

To Spice It Up: 🔥
Use a cushion under your bum or lower back to increase the angle and pressure. A small wand or bullet vibe between your bodies adds even more intensity. We’ve even tried this one surrounded by pillows on the floor — a little messy, but so worth it.


Edge Tease sex position – partner sitting on the edge while other stands for intimate angle

4. Edge Tease

Also known as: Butterfly, Tabletop, Countertop

The Vibe: ✨
Controlled, focused, and seriously satisfying. Edge Tease gives you access, angle, and a great mix of intimacy and dominance. It’s simple, effective, and delivers that just-right kind of deep.

How to Do It:
One of you sits on the edge of a bed, table, or bench with your legs apart, while the other stands in front, stepping between. It’s perfect for gentle build-ups or taking full control — the standing partner sets the rhythm, and the seated partner gets to fully enjoy.

We love this for its versatility — you can go slow and sensual, or speed things up when the mood shifts. It’s especially good for keeping eye contact and giving your hands freedom to explore.

Why You'll Love It: 💜
The angle is ideal for deep penetration and G-spot stimulation, plus the upright posture keeps everything accessible. It feels exposed but connected — a perfect mix of power and pleasure.

To Spice It Up: 🔥
Use a wand massager on the clit while you stay in position — the combo hits hard. Or try this in front of a mirror so you can both watch the action from every angle. A blindfold or light restraint can also add a delicious layer of anticipation.


Chair Straddle sex position – intimate seated position with face-to-face control

5. Chair Straddle

Also known as: Seated Straddle, Lap Ride, Face-to-Face Chair

The Vibe: ✨
Slow, intimate, and full of body contact. Chair Straddle is all about closeness, eye contact, and letting one of you take full control while the other melts into it. It’s cosy, connected, and perfect for when you want something more sensual than wild.

How to Do It:
One of you sits on a sturdy chair, and the other straddles them, face-to-face. The seated partner can rest their hands on hips, thighs, or just hold tight while the one on top takes control of the rhythm. It’s especially great when you want to build slowly and enjoy every movement.

We’ve used this when we want to feel each other without rushing — it’s a great “let’s take our time” position that naturally brings in a lot of touch, kissing, and teasing. It’s almost impossible not to stay close.

Why You'll Love It: 💜
This one’s brilliant for clitoral stimulation during penetration, and it gives the person on top loads of power to adjust pace and angle. Hands-free? Not quite — because you won’t be able to stop touching each other.

To Spice It Up: 🔥
Try a remote control toy inside or around you for added buzz while you move — extra fun if your partner holds the controller. Or switch things up with a reverse straddle for a more grinding-style rhythm. A favourite chair might just become your new favourite sex spot.


Tangled Delight sex position – couples lying side by side in intimate, intertwined position

6. Tangled Delight

Also known as: The Scissor, Intertwined, Lovers’ Knot

The Vibe: ✨
Soft, slow, and fully wrapped up in each other. Tangled Delight is the perfect position for when you want closeness without effort — it's sensual, connected, and ideal for long, teasing sessions that focus on pleasure over power.

How to Do It:
Lie down facing each other, side by side. One of you hooks a leg over the other's hip, letting your bodies press close together. You can rock gently, grind in rhythm, or just enjoy the skin-on-skin contact as things build naturally. It’s ideal for slower sessions and emotional intimacy.

This is one we go to when we want that sleepy Sunday morning energy or post-date night connection. You can talk, kiss, laugh, and explore with your hands — all while staying in a warm, shared space that feels unhurried and close.

Why You'll Love It: 💜
It’s all about the connection. This position keeps your bodies fully entwined, and the angle is perfect for clit-to-pelvis or shaft-to-perineum pressure depending on how you’re moving. It’s also really easy on the body, so you can stay like this for a while — and you’ll probably want to.

To Spice It Up: 🔥
Hold a bullet vibrator or a wand massager between you for added stimulation during the grind. Or play with edging — slowly building pleasure together without rushing to climax. Some of our favourite shared orgasms have come from this position, because it lets everything unfold naturally.


Elevated Arch sex position – raised pelvis with crab-style support for deep penetration

7. Elevated Arch

Also known as: Crab Arch, Mutual Bridge, Suspended Missionary

The Vibe: ✨
Bold, balanced, and seriously sexy. Elevated Arch is all about strength and control — a visually striking position that delivers deep penetration and a totally different kind of rhythm. It's playful, intimate, and feels like a sexy, mutual workout (the good kind).

How to Do It:
You both sit facing each other, legs extended, and place your hands behind you for support. Slowly lift your hips so your bodies rise into a crab-style arch — pelvises aligned, bodies suspended. From there, you can rock, thrust, or grind into each other using your arms and feet to control the motion.

This one’s best when you're feeling adventurous. It’s not your everyday go-to, but when you pull it off, it’s hot as hell and makes you feel totally connected — and a bit like a flexible sex ninja.

Why You'll Love It: 💜
It creates a gorgeous open-body view for both partners, and the raised hips intensify sensation during every movement. Plus, you can maintain eye contact the whole time — it’s like a sexy staring contest with thrusting.

To Spice It Up: 🔥
Add a bullet vibrator to stimulate the clit or perineum mid-thrust. Want to go easier on the arms? Try it on a padded mat or use a low sofa edge for a bit of extra support.


Wall Press Kiss sex position – standing position with partner lifted and pressed against the wall

8. Wall Press Kiss

Also known as: Standing Wall Ride, Wall Pin, Vertical Grind

The Vibe: ✨
Raw, urgent, and cinematic as hell. Wall Press Kiss is for those moments when you can’t even wait to make it to the bed. It’s steamy, dominant, and full of that “can’t keep our hands off each other” energy. Think movie-scene sex — but better, because it’s real.

How to Do It:
One partner stands upright, back against a solid wall. The other presses in, lifting them up by the thighs while they wrap their legs around. The standing partner does the thrusting, using the wall for support. You’re close, locked in, and the intensity is unreal.

This is one of our go-tos when we’re already half-undressed and too turned on to care where we are. Kitchen wall? Bathroom tiles? Been there, done that, and would absolutely do it again.

Why You'll Love It: 💜
The closeness and deep angle create serious intensity, and the standing dynamic gives you both a feeling of total control and surrender. Plus, it’s incredibly hot seeing your partner pinned against the wall — there’s something primal about it in the best way.

To Spice It Up: 🔥
Use a chair, low surface, or sturdy countertop if full lifting isn’t your thing. Or tease with a remote control toy before you even make it to the wall — building that tension means it’s explosive when things finally happen. Don’t forget lube… things get slippery fast.


Try These With Your Positions

Want to turn the heat up even more? We've found that a couple of simple additions can take a position from “that was fun” to “we need a nap and a snack.” These are our go-tos when we want to add something extra:

  • 💜 Lube & Oils – Honestly, lube makes everything smoother, softer, and way more satisfying. We never go without it now.
  • 💜 Bullet Vibrators – Perfect for clit stimulation during positions like Chair Straddle or Tangled Delight. Small, powerful, and super effective.
  • 💜 Wand Massagers – If you like intensity, wands are where it’s at. Great for solo or partnered use mid-position.
  • 💜 Remote Control Toys – Add a cheeky twist to your play by handing your partner the remote. Great for teasing during build-up.
  • 💜 Bondage Gear – A blindfold or soft cuff can totally change the vibe — even if you're just experimenting for the first time.

You don’t need loads of gear — just one little extra can completely shift how a position feels. We’re big fans of trying things out, laughing if it doesn’t go to plan, and enjoying whatever works for us in that moment.


Which One Will You Try First?

That’s your full rundown of eight positions we’ve tried, tested, and totally recommend — not because they look fancy in a book, but because they actually work for real couples like us. Some are slow and sensual, others a bit bold and filthy, but all of them are about feeling good and getting closer to each other.

We’ve had laughs trying to get into them, moments of “wait, my leg doesn’t bend that way,” and some unexpectedly *amazing* orgasms in positions we didn’t think would be that hot. That’s the beauty of exploring together — it doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to feel good (and maybe give you a few stories to laugh about after).

If one of these made you go “ooh, that looks fun,” then try it. Grab a bit of lube, pull each other in close, and see what happens. Add a toy if you’re feeling cheeky, or keep it simple with just the two of you. Either way, you're setting the stage for something memorable.

Sex should never feel like a routine. Whether it’s a lazy Sunday morning tangle or a wild wall-press after date night, these positions are about creating new sparks — and keeping that intimacy alive no matter how long you’ve been together.

So go on… pick one. Try it tonight. And if it ends in giggles and tangled limbs before an orgasm? Sounds like a pretty good night to us.
