Spoon
The spoon position is the classic Sunday morning sex position: It's highly romantic and allows for a slow, luxurious ride in whichyou're both likely to last a long time. Spooning is also good if the woman is pregnant or if the man is on the heavy side. Plus, it's an ideal position to fall asleep in after sex. Enter the spoon while you're both on one side, facing in the same direction. Have her draw her knees up slightly, then tuck up behind her pelvis so you can enter from behind. By adjusting the lean of your bodies, you'll vary the angle of entry and your latitude to thrust.
Cross Buttocks This is another good posisiton to take your weight off your partner. It's also enjoyable for her because it stimulates the side of her vaginal walls, something she normally doesn't feel. Insert yourself into your partner in the missionary position, but lie across her pelvis, slightly askew, while still supporting your weight on your elbows.
Classic Rear Entry,
Kneeling Also called doggie style, this position allows for sensuously deep penetration, which you'll both enjoy. It also is said to be the best for hitting the elusive G-spot and allows you to stroke her clitoris, breasts, hair and back--all powerful erogenous zones. Position yourself so you're kneeling behind your partner, who should be before you on her hands and knees. While kneeling, insert yourself and remain between her legs either upright or leaning over so your body drapes over hers. Take care while thrusting, since her wide-open vagina may allow you such penetration that you'll hit her cervix, something she can find painful.
Knees To Chest
This is a more advanced missionary position that requires some flexibility on her part and some strength on yours. Enter her as you would in the standard missionary position, but instead of simply spreading her legs, have her lift her knees to her chest and hook her ankles over your shoulders, while you support your weight on your hands. This gives you greater penetration and stimulates the back walls of her vagina.
Standing Wheelbarrow
This athletic variation is about the only position you literally can do on the run. Enter her as you would in standing rear entry, but lift her up by the pelvis and have her grip your waist with her legs. You'll be in a position similar to the "wheelbarrow" races you played in school--which were never this much fun. Because she'll be supporting her weight on her arms, she'll need to be strong. And although you'll both be able to stroll around the house in this position, it isn't something you'll want to do for an extended length of time.
Seated Missionary
This is a good position if you want to rest your elbows or feel that you are crushing her in the standard missionary position. Sit between her legs, with her knees bent, while keeping your legs spread wide. Ease yourself into her vagina by wriggling toward her and leaning forward. The limitedthrusting power is compensated by the more directpenetration.
Man On Top, Facing Away
Although this position limits movement for you both, it gives her full access to your scrotum, buttocks and anus for adding teasing and pleasuring. Have her lie down with her legs uplifted and spread. You then lower yourself between her legs, with your head going in the direction of her feet, entering in reverse. Your weight is resting on your elbows, which gives you leverage to lightly thrust backward.
Woman On Top, Leaning Back
This is a variation of the woman-astride position, and one that's sure to give you both novel sensations. From the facing woman astride position, she gently lies back until she's lying down between your legs. Although this limits your thrusting power, it allows either of you to caress her clitoris for added stimulation. If her knees ache, she can straighten her knees without interrupting. An interesting variation of this is when she's on top facing away: As before she lies backward gently, untilshe's lying on top of your chest. This lets you stroke her clitoris and breasts.
Squatted Kneeling
This is one of many kneeling positions, all of which are more athletic than some of the more familiar poses. The upshot of kneeling positions is that they allow your penis to better stimulate her clitoris and labia. In this position, you're squatting on the balls of your feet, with your legs spread apart about shoulder-width apart. She sits in your lap, facing you, straddling your legs with hers, while mounting your erect penis and bringing your upper bodies close together. By bouncing on the balls of her feet, she controls penetration and depth, but you both enjoy lots of intimate skin contact. This isn't a long-distance position and shouldn't be attempted by anyone with bad knees or a bad back.
Woman Astride
These positions have plenty of advantages, including deeper penetration and more exquisite sensations for both of you. You also get a full view of the action and can touch her clitoris and play with her breasts. Enter this position by getting into the woman-on-top missionary first. Then have her draw her knees up until she's in a kneeling position, straddling your hips and sitting atop your pelvis. If need be, she can relieve some of her weight from your pelvis by leaning back and supporting herself on your thighs.
Reverse Missionary
This position is identical to the traditional missionary, but she's on top. Also, her legs are spread and yours are closer together. Now you're the passive partner, and she supports her weight on her elbows. This position gives you greater ejaculatory control and is ideal if she's much lighter than you. Variations include alternating whose legs are spread or spreading both of your legs at the same time.
X Position Another easy-rider position,
this was called "a winner for prolonged slow intercourse" by Alex Comfort, M.D., in his best-selling book, The Joy of Sex. Start fully inserted, with her facing you in the woman-astride position. Clasp your hands in hers and move them out to the sides of your bodies. Then she lies back between your legs, which should be adjusted so that they "scissor" each other. Slow, leisurely wriggling movements will provide enough stimulation to make up for the lack of thrusting power. Either of you can sit up to change positions without disturbing the action.
Woman Astride, Facing Away This position gives you a pleasing view of her zaftig buttocks. And since neither of you is looking at the other's face, you're free to close your eyes and fantasize. As in the previous position, the woman is straddling your body on her knees, but facing toward your feet; optionally, she can squat over you. The advantage for her is deeper penetration and control. The benefit for you is that she can caress your thighs and scrotum, and you can caress her buttocks and back. To take a bit of pressure off your pelvis, she can lean forward on your thighs or backward on your chest.
