What are the best sex positions to try?
Trying new sex positions helps couples stay present and reduce stress during intimacy.
“When we're stressed, it’s often harder to feel desire or to stay in the moment, because our mind is distracted and wandering”
Why try new positions?
Justin Lehmiller, PhD, says switching positions creates immersive experiences that raise sexual arousal.
“Trying something new can create this immersive experience that lets us be in the moment and raises sexual arousal”
How to choose positions?
Ask what you want to achieve, like helping a partner orgasm or exploring power dynamics.
“If your partner has a vulva and you’re looking for positions to help them orgasm, then you want to look for sex positions where you can manually stimulate your partner’s clitoris during penetration”
Adaptations for all bodies
Positions can be modified for any gender, sexual orientation, or anatomy needs.
“We encourage readers to modify any position to suit their bodies, preferences, and needs”
Expert advice on comfort

Key to success
Communication is essential when trying new positions to ensure mutual enjoyment.
“Communication is always important, especially when we're trying new things. Listen to each other about what's working and what isn't”
