6 Advanced Sex Positions, Ranked by a Sexologist!

A couple in bedThere are numerous ways to engage in hot and steamy sexual activity. But, when your go-to positions become slightly monotonous then it is time for you to try out something more advanced in the bedroom.

Now, it is important to know that achieving comfort when exploring more advanced sex positions can be difficult. They demand extra attention and assistance to avoid causing physical discomfort, such as back injuries or muscle strain, which are not the kinds of sensations you want to feel as you are having sex. So, be sure to tell each other what feels good and what doesn’t! With that out of the way, let’s check them out!

Ballet Dancer

First up, we have a position that sounds difficult to get into but isn’t. Aptly named the Ballet Dancer, this position focuses on the flexibility of the woman, so girls, it would be best to get a stretch in before doing the Ballet Dancer. It can be done in different settings, but it is best if done against a wall so there is support. The Ballet Dancer can also be adjusted based on your preferences, your height, or the needs of you and your partner.

How To Do It

  1. The woman is standing with her legs hip-width apart.
  2. The man holds onto one of her legs, wraps it around his waist or, if she is super flexible, places it on his shoulder while she holds onto him for support.
  3. The woman arches her back slightly and tilts back her head for more intense penetration.
  4. The man guides his penis inside her and thrusts up and down. His other hand is used to play with her body, caressing her breasts or touching other parts of her body.
  5. He keeps going until both of them climaxes.

Split Missionary

To take things up a notch from the typical Missionary, we have the Split Missionary. Here the woman’s legs are spread apart as wide as they can go, offering intense penetration, more than the usual Missionary. Since this is an advanced position, this requires the woman to be quite flexible. Otherwise, it can become uncomfortable to stay like this for an extended period. For the men, do not forget to pleasure your woman with some clitoral stimulation by grinding on her clitoris as you thrust into her deep.

How To Do It

  1. The woman lies on the bed with her legs raised and spread apart as wide as she can.
  2. The man straddles her so they are facing each other.
  3. He penetrates her and thrusts in and out of her.
  4. He keeps going until both of them achieve an orgasm.

Pile Driver

We now move onto another position that requires flexibility and strength on the part of the woman: the Pile Driver, aka the jackhammer. Bear with us as getting into the Pile Driver may be a bit awkward, but once you’re there, you will be rewarded with deep penetration. This is so because the woman or receiving partner is in the best position to receive the entire length of the man’s penis. The man or giving partner is free to thrust as fast and deep as he wants since he determines the depth, pressure, and speed of penetration. All the woman has to do is enjoy and take in the intense sensations.

How To Do It

  1. The woman is lying down on her back.
  2. With her knees bent, she slowly rocks back until her feet reach the ground above her head. Her lower back should not be touching the surface.
  3. The man straddles her, holding onto her hips, and guides his penis inside her.
  4. He squats and thrusts in and out in a downward motion.
  5. He keeps going until both of them orgasm.

Wheel Barrow

While the woman does not need to be super flexible for the Wheel Barrow, she does need to have good arm strength and a pretty solid core. If you want to let your arms rest, you can opt to do this resting on a table or by the bedside. The unique sensual stimulation from the Wheel Barrow coupled with the feeling of being lifted from the ground is one you likely don’t always feel from the positions in your usual rotation, so it is worth a try.

The wheelbarrow

How To Do It

  1. The woman gets on all fours and extends her legs backward like in a planking position.
  2. The man lifts her by her ankles and then moves closer to her until he can penetrate. She can wrap her legs around his body to bring them closer to each other.
  3. He penetrates her and begins thrusting in and out repeatedly.
  4. He maintains or increases speed and intensity until both partners cum.

Pretzel

The Pretzel is another position that sounds more complicated to perform than it is. Do not worry, there is no need to be a contortionist to get into the Pretzel. It is good to note that the partner on top, usually the male, has to put in more effort. So, ladies, this is your chance to just lie down and enjoy the ride with deep penetration, eye contact, and intimacy. You can even do some hand play since you are not supporting yourself.

If you’re a fan of the closeness the Pretzel offers, you’re in for a treat. We’ve got a whole range of other intimate positions that are all about enhancing that deep, personal connection.

Bridge

Just like its namesake from the pilates and yoga position, the Bridge is a great stretch and workout. It is one way for the girl to display her strength, flexibility, and balance, all while receiving penetration. The Bridge will surely put your core and back to the test, so start with whatever you feel comfortable doing. And then, once you can lift yourself to the full Bridge, there’s no stopping you.
