Twists That Will Make You Shout

Bust out these fresh takes on your favorite tried-and-true sex positions and prepare for spine-tingling satisfaction.

SHAKE UP YOUR SEX POSITIONS
Call in sick, clear your schedule, and make sure you’re hydrated. You’re not going to want to leave your bedroom for a while. These inventive tweaks will shake up your favorite sex positions—and the results are volcanic. And just in case you need a reason to break away from your typical repertoire, know this: The more moves women try out during sex, the higher their likelihood of reaching the big O, according to the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior.
Plus, adding some variety can also prevent things from going stale outside the bedroom. Couples who constantly try new things together—which can include mattress play—report better romantic chemistry and higher relationship satisfaction than couples who stick to the same routine, according to research from Stony Brook University. Not to mention, trying new moves in bed causes your brain to release dopamine, the feel-good chemical that keeps you feeling hot for your partner, says marriage therapist Pat Love, Ed.D., author of Hot Monogamy. Now, get ready to do a little racy road testing.
1. Clitty CAT
Technically called the coital alignment technique (CAT) this move maximizes clitoral contact. In fact, women who were unable to O in regular missionary were 56 percent more likely to climax using CAT, finds the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy. Have your guy scoot two inches up from standard missionary, and wrap your legs around his thighs Rock in a forward-and-back motion as you press your pelvis up against his while he presses down against yours.
2. Knee Hugger
Lie on your back and draw your knees into your chest. Your partner should kneel, facing you, and hold your knees together for maximum tightness. Plus, this position forces him to thrust at a slower speed, so he’ll last way longer.
3. The Leg Press
It’s standard missionary–with a lift. Raise your legs so that your feet hug his neck or press into his chest, says Dana B. Myers, founder of BootyParlor.com and author of The Official Booty Parlor Mojo Makeover. Your guy will get even deeper penetration, and the added leverage will put you at the ideal angle for him to hit your G-spot.
1. Reverse Cowgirl
Spin yourself around so you are in the same position as girl on top, except facing his feet, says Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of Sex Recharge. This variation allows for some serious G-spot stimulation and gives you the freedom to let your fingers wander to your hot spot…or his.
2. The Catcher
Instead of kneeling on top of him, straddle him in a squat position with your feet flat on the bed or floor, says Love. He’ll enjoy the view, and you’ll be in better control to hit your G-spot.
3. Easy Glider
Lie on top of your partner so your bodies are pressed together and your legs are fully extended, says Sonia Borg Ph.D., author of Marathon Sex. Then glide back and forth slowly. For slippery fun, rub massage oil over his chest and yours during foreplay.
1. Love Seat
With your partner seated on a chair or against the headboard, kneel down onto him so that your back is touching his chest, says Kerner. Alternate between moving up and down and rocking forward and back to maximize the sensations for both of you.
2. Thigh Master
Have your guy lie on his back and bend his knees to his chest. Lower yourself onto him, using the back of his thighs as a seat and his feet (pressed against your shoulders) as a backrest Extend your arms back so he can hold your wrists for balance. It sounds Cirque du Soleil but he’ll go extra deep, while your cervix is stimulated.
3. Downward Dog
Take basic doggie out of bed: Bend forward and place your hands on a shower wall sturdy mirror, or piece of furniture for support as he enters you from behind. The standing position frees up his hands, so he can reach around and give you manual pleasure in multiple spots.
Tingly Twister
As you’re spooning, lift your top leg over his body and turn your head toward him so you’re making eye contact, says Ava Cadell, Ph.D., author of The Sexy Little Book of Sex Games. Locking eyes while your bodies are pressed together makes the spoon even more physically and emotionally intimate.
The Ladle
Try this position on a chilly spring night: As you’re spooning, draw your knees up to your chest so you’re in the fetal position on your side. Have your guy spoon you as tightly as possible, pressing his chest and legs into yours for ultimate physical closeness, so sex feels more intense for both of you, says Kerner.
Open Pose
From the spooning position, roll so you’re facedown with your knees tucked under your chest and your arms are stretched out in front or at your sides. Then have your partner mount you in the same position. The angle opens you up down below, giving him a direct line to your G-spot.
