MAN’S BEST FRIEND

a.k.a. Doggy-Style

Benefits: Deep penetration and an erotic view.

Entering her from behind, you’ll be able to thrust deep so the tip of your penis touches her cervix, an often-neglected pleasure zone. But you should do this slowly and gently. Some women find it painful.

Hot Tip

She may be able to increase the intensity of your orgasm by pushing her pelvic floor muscles outward, as if trying to squeeze something out of her vagina. This causes the vaginal walls to lower, making her G-spot more accessible.

SPOON

a.k.a. The Sleeper Hold

Benefits: Comfortable sex position if she’s pregnant or you’re heavy. Also ideal for long lovemaking. Good one for falling asleep afterward.

You both lie on your sides facing the same direction, you behind her. She bends her knees and pushes her rear back toward you for easier access to her vagina. Adjusting the lean of your bodies will vary the angle of entry and help with rocking and thrusting.

Now try this: synchronise your breathing. One of you takes the lead and the other follows so that you inhale and exhale together. The coordinated rhythm opens an unspoken dialogue of intimacy.

Hot Tip 

To give her the sensation of greater width inside her, from the spoon position have her bend and lift her top leg to her breasts. Adjust your position so you are more on top of her top hip than behind her.

DOWNWARD DOG

Benefits: Intensifies vaginal pleasure

She lies face down on the bed, knees slightly bent and hips slightly raised. For comfort, and to increase the angle of her hips, she can place a pillow under her lower abs. You enter her from behind and keep your weight off her by propping yourself up with your arms. This position creates a snug fit, making you feel larger to her.

Now try this: you’ll last longer in this position if you switch to shallower thrusts and begin deep breathing.

Hot Tip

Less friction means less stimulation—and can help you last longer. Try using a very slippery silicon-based lubricant, which may allow you to thrust longer before reaching orgasm.

STAND AND DELIVER

Benefits: You can enjoy the view of your manhood thrusting.

Stand at the edge of a bed or desk while she bends forward in front of you. Grab her wrists and enter her. Thrust slowly as the deep penetration may be painful for her.

Hot Tip 

Let go of one her wrists and encourage her to play with her clitoris manually. Also, show her that she can control your penetration by flexing her thighs.

COWBOY 

Benefits: Intimate eye contact between you and your partner while you get a nice view.

Riding a little higher, you won’t just be thrusting, Instead, you’ll have to move your body down a bit each time you want to get deeper, which means your pelvis and the shaft of your penis can massage her clitoris.

Now try this: If she wants a stronger touch, thrust deeper inside of her so your pelvic area presses harder against her clitoris.
