Classic 69
Oh, the Classic 69. We all know it as one of the sexiest rides you can ever have and, in my opinion, the best 69 position for all genders. Classic 69ing is when each person’s mouth is aligned to their partner’s genitals, giving them easy access to perform oral on you and for you to give oral to them.
In general, all couples can do classic 69 without a hitch. But if you have a significant height difference, it could be a barrier. But do not fret; it doesn’t make it impossible. Just bring a sex pillow into the sexual act to help the shorter partner reach your genitals while making their body as comfortable as possible.
How to do the 69 position:
- The penis partner lies down first, preferably horizontally, on a bed.
- Place a pillow underneath your head to make it more comfortable for your neck. Or use a sex pillow for your back if you and your partner have a significant height difference. (More on sex positions for short girls here.)
- The vagina partner gets on top, with her head facing your genitals. She bends down until her vagina is aligned with your mouth.
- Each of you stimulates the other’s genitals. If you’re on top, perform a blowjob, and if you’re on the bottom, your partner does the same and begins eating you out or fingering you.
Inverted 69
An easy way to switch from the classic 69 pose and kick it up a notch in the pleasure department is to perform inverted 69. This position is when the female partner is at the bottom while the male partner is at the top.
The inverted 69 position is excellent for deep throat and rougher oral sex, with your partner’s penis directly over your mouth. They have control over the depth of oral you can take.
How to Do It
- The vagina partner lies down first.
- The penis owner climbs on top with the head facing the other way. They begin in a kneeling position before lowering down onto their elbows.
- Your penis should line up to your partner’s mouth. Thrust in gently while they perform head and go as deep as your partner can take it.
- Meanwhile, you are licking or sucking your partner’s vagina from an inverted position. Being inverted lets you focus on clitoral stimulation over internal stimulation.
Sex Swing 69
If you want more adventure and fun, the sex swing 69 is for you. It’s a good variation if you’re new at BDSM play; However, this sex position is still relatively beginner-friendly.
In this midair sex position, you’re weightless and don’t need to carry weight on top of you. Your partner hovers over your body while the other person rests on the swing. Not having body weight on top of you is great for gaining control over the pressure you want to receive. The only downside? You need to buy a sex swing, which can be a costly expense. More on sex swing sex positions here.
How to Do It
- Set up your swing to be below waist height for the male partner.
- Have your partner lie down on the swing with the straps supporting their back, butt, and heels.
- Spread your legs apart and align your body over their head. Forming an inverted L shape, bend down into your lying partner and perform oral the way your significant other enjoys.
- Getting used to this position may take some practice, but the sensations you receive are all worth it.
Sideway 69
Sideways 69 is a variation of the classic 69 position where both partners lie on their sides, facing opposite directions. This position allows for simultaneous oral pleasure while maintaining comfort and ease of movement.
One of the main benefits of Sideways 69 is that it reduces strain on the neck and back, making it more sustainable for longer sessions. Additionally, it promotes a more relaxed and intimate experience, allowing both partners to enjoy the sensations and connection fully.
How to Do It
- One partner lies on their right side, and the other faces them.
- Align your mouths closer to each person’s genitals and go to town.
- Lick, suck, or stroke their penis or vagina slowly and sensually.
- This position is perfect for build-up, so stick with the motions you both enjoy the most until you feel an orgasm coming up.
69 With Sex Toy
We all acknowledge that our tongues can get tired of giving oral sex. Introducing a sex toy in your 69 positions lets you take a break from using your tongue muscles and gives you pleasurable sensations only received from a sex toy.
You can think of this 69 position as similar to mutual masturbation; only you do it for each other. Take your favorite toy, such as wand vibrators and dildos for the ladies, cock rings and penis strokers for the guys, and butt plugs for any people involved.
How to Do It
- Be in a sideways 69 position and lie on the right sides of your body facing each other.
- Bring in your favorite toy of your choice. Vibrators or dildos for clitoral stimulation and penetration, butt plugs for anal penetration, cock rings, or male masturbators.
- Start by using it at low speed. Your partner does the same and uses it on you.
- Most couples enjoy focusing on one area to stimulate before moving on to the next. Switch things up and enjoy whichever variation feels best.
Standing 69 (a.k.a. Upright Sixty Nine)
One sex act that challenges your body strength is the standing 69 position. It’s a thrilling, fun challenge worth trying if you can pull it off. Unlike the other 69 variations, where you last long, standing 69 is perfect for a quick getaway. With all your excitement, a minute or two is enough to feel satisfied! (Unless you are super strong and can last longer.)
How to Do It
- Start on a flat surface before holding your partner upside down. Do this on your bed or couch.
- The male partner or carrier sits down on the edge of the bed with their feet flat on the ground. They have the option to lie on their back or to stay upright.
- Climb on top of them by placing your knees over their shoulders.
- Please try it seated first to make sure you are comfortable being in an inverted form.
- Your partner slowly gets off the bed and stands up. Wrap your arms around their back as they hold onto your body for support.
- Do a quick cunnilingus and fellatio on one another, and you’re good to go.
Squatting 69
Honestly, squatting in the gym is a pain in the ass – but squatting 69, on the other hand, is a delight, mainly because you’re getting some sexy action from it. It’s an excellent position for behind-the-belt oral. It also focuses on clitoral stimulation and can lead to anal play, as access to your partner’s anus is wide open.
How to Do It
- One partner sits down with their legs stretched out in front. Stretch your arms behind your back to support your body and stay elevated.
- Your partner stands before you and squats down until your face reaches their genitals.
- Bend your knees generously to maintain this position for as long as possible. You decide how low or high you want to squat, depending on how pleasurable it is.
- Meanwhile, your inverted head stimulates your partner’s genitals.
- You can do so here if you decide to go with anal play.
Threesome 69
If you find yourself in a threesome position, doing a threesome 69 variation is something you shouldn’t miss out on. Whether with two women or two men – you can successfully get in a triangle formation and create the perfect oral sex experience. The best thing is there’s no lull in making the third person feel awkward or left out. Everyone is receiving satisfaction simultaneously!
How to Do It
- All participants lie on their sides. People align their bodies to create a triangle shape.
- The first person faces the second person’s crotch, the second faces the third person’s genitals, and the third person faces the first person’s crotch.
- Perform head or eat the person out, focusing on the sensations while giving back.
The 68
Go down one step and perform a 68. There’s a reason it’s called 68 and not 69: only one person receives the oral experience. The woman is typically on top, lying on their partner’s chest, focusing solely on their enjoyment.
Of course, you can take turns being the receiver with the male partner. But please note that whoever is on the bottom carries the body weight of the receiver, so please be careful while performing it.
How to Do It
- Take a sex pillow wedge or regular pillow and place it on the giver’s neck. They lie down with their knees bent in front of them.
- The receiving partner lies on top with their genitals aligned to their partner’s mouth. Your back is on your partner’s thighs, and you use it for support.
- They begin licking, fingering, or kissing your clitoris. Take your time in doing this until you feel their climax.
- Use your free hands to caress their breasts, stomach, or side bodies.
- Switch places when it’s time to go down on your partner and reciprocate the gesture.
Face Sitting
Face sitting, or queening is precisely how it sounds. One person sits on their partner’s face to receive sensations like no other. It puts you in complete control, and some vagina owners find it provides a better angle for receiving.
Kneeling allows control over which specific areas you want to be eaten out of. It also lets you apply as much pressure as possible by adding more weight to your partner’s mouth. You can read more about women on top positions here.
How to Do It
- Your giving partner lies down with their legs stretched out.
- Kneel and place your knees on opposite sides of their shoulders.
- Support yourself by placing your weight on your thighs to hover over their mouth.
- They will begin performing orally by licking or kissing you. You can lean forward or back, depending on where you want to feel good.
- If you want more pressure while being stimulated, simply lower down and bend your knees more.
