Did you know 62% of Americans rely on just a few sex positions, and 52% don’t have sex outside the bed? [1] If you’re tired of the lack of desire and boredom in the bedroom, you might be a part of these sad statistics. Luckily, our clinical sexologist, Rachel Sommer, Ph.D., has prepared a list of the 10 couch sex positions to help you overcome this problem.
Now you might be thinking couch sex is out of your comfort zone. After all, there’s nowhere to hide, no sheets to cover your body and the windows are often directly in front of you. But believe me when I say this seemingly small change will make a significant impact.

1. Couch Wheelbarrow
Are you looking for a relaxed yet exciting sex position? Try the couch wheelbarrow. This variation is much easier than the traditional wheelbarrow, which demands a lot of strength. You’ll only feel a bit of pressure on your wrists, as the couch supports your lower body. A quick wrist warm-up is all you need to prepare. This way, you can enjoy the thrill without the fatigue.
The benefits are worth it; deep penetration with a good angle for hitting your G-spot, allowing for a more intense orgasm. Additionally, your clitoris can rub against the couch at the same time, heightening the sensations even more.
Pro Tip: You can rest your arms on a cushion or pillow for wrist support.
How To Do It
- The penis owner sits on a couch with their back against the back of the couch.
- The vagina owner starts in a plank position resting their knees on the couch.
- Your partner can pull you closer and help you slide into the position.
2. The Lazy Man
Don’t let the name fool you; the “lazy man” isn’t just a one-person effort. Intimacy plays a crucial role here. Without a strong emotional connection, this position might feel lackluster. However, the bond can elevate the experience, making it deeply enriching and almost spiritual.
Here’s how to take your sofa sex to the next level:
- As you get into the position, try to trace your fingers along your partner’s skin and have him do the same. This technique comes from tantra sex, where the intercourse is deliberate, often slow, and cultivates emotional connection.
- As you start swinging your hips, make sure your breathing synchronizes. Pay attention to how your body moves and feels when your partner is deep inside you.
- Keep eye contact the whole time, except when you’re locked in an embrace or kiss each other’s neck.
How To Do It
- Your partner sits on a couch sideways with his legs outstretched.
- Straddle your partner’s lap in a squatting position.
- He can then pull you against his chest so you remain embraced.
- He can also put his hands on your butt to help you guide the movement.
3. Missionary (Legs On Shoulder)
Missionary on the couch—talk about a guilty pleasure! While some might call it basic, I think it’s a game-changer. Switching from the bedroom to the living room does more than just change the scenery; it totally revamps the vibe. Forget just lounging and watching TV—unless you’re spicing things up with a steamy scene on the screen.
Imagine the thrilling possibility of being watched. It turns a simple change of location into an exhilarating experience that makes even the classic missionary feel new and adventurous. Who knew the living room could be this hot?
How To Do It
- The vulva owner lies on their back while the penetrating partner kneels between their legs.
- The receiver puts their legs on the partner’s shoulders. They then lean slightly against their legs.
- To experiment with different angles, the vagina haver can put one leg on their partner’s shoulder and turn their body to the side.
4. Couch Cowgirl
This cowgirl variation has all the elements we love it for: deep penetration, control over the speed and angle, and the power play. Plus, it’s one of the most intimate sex positions.
If you’ve ever wondered what was missing in the traditional cowgirl position, it’s the proximity. Riding your partner with your hands on his throat is hot, but you can be just as dominating if you pull his head when close enough to maintain eye contact and kiss you.
If you want to take things a step further, try dirty talk. It’s a great way to get out of your comfort zone and gain more confidence as a dominant partner. Don’t say how much he turns you on – tell him you enjoy him serving you.
You can find more female-dominant positions in this guide.
How To Do It
- Have your partner sit on a couch and slide into his lap.
- You can let your feet rest on the floor or keep your knees on the couch.
5. Lapdance
The Lapdance position on the sofa is like a steamy ticket to a private show, combining the visual thrill of reverse cowgirl with the comfort of your couch. Perfect for those who love being the center of attention, this position allows your partner to sit back and relish the view of your body in motion.
To really turn up the heat, focus on the build-up. Remember, foreplay isn’t just about arousal—it’s your chance to etch a lasting impression in your partner’s mind. Embrace the essence of a lap dance by teasing and grinding rhythmically against him. You don’t need to be a pro dancer; just let your hips move confidently to the rhythm, touching him lightly, ensuring he remains completely captivated by your performance.
How To Do It
- Your partner sits upright, and you face the same direction as him.
- Sit in between his legs with your feet on the floor.
- Lean forward and keep your hands on your thighs for better balance.
- You can also lean back and rest your body weight on your partner.
6. Couch Doggy Style
If you love the doggy style but your knees aren’t in the best condition, couch sex is the solution. Whenever you and your partner want to get down to business, move to the living room and enjoy doggy with all the benefits and no downsides.
Apart from deep penetration and the thrill of being dominated, doggy style on the couch adds a bit of variety and excitement as you can fantasize about getting caught. It’s also great for smaller and compact couches.
If you want to make it hotter, take advantage of the shorter days. Get down to business right after work—turn off the lights and open the blinds. You can watch your unsuspecting neighbors do their daily tasks while having the time of your life.
How To Do It
- Get on all fours over the armrest.
- Your partner stands behind you and slides into the position.
7. The Hammock
The Hammock is one of my favorites as it’s versatile but not too crazy. The angle allows for direct G-spot stimulation and leaves plenty of room to rub your clitoris.
Even though the Hammock favors small movements, you can achieve deeper penetration by moving up and down instead of sliding in and out. It will allow you to explore a different angle and take your orgasms to the next level.
Pro Tip: Unless you have great upper body strength, you’ll need extra support for your head; use a coffee table or an armchair.
How To Do It
- Your partner sit upright on the sofa.
- Sit in his lap and lean backward so your back rests on his legs.
- Keep your knees bent and squeeze his waist.
- Have your partner hold onto your waist to guide the movement.
8. Couch Pile Driver
If you’ve ever tried our list of the craziest sex positions and failed for whatever reason, you don’t have to give up on adding variety to your sex life. This couch pile driver variation allows you to go wild without pulling a muscle. Since your partner can sit on the couch, he doesn’t have to exert his thigh muscles and can focus on going in extremely deep.
Similarly, you don’t have to be a yoga instructor to get the bottom positioning right – just let the couch support your body weight and experiment with the angle to achieve maximum pleasure.
If you’re feeling especially adventurous, try having anal sex in this position, and add a dildo to enjoy double penetration. Thanks to the couch’s support, you can stimulate your clitoris at the same time!
How To Do It
- Your partner sits on the edge of the couch with legs spread.
- Position yourself so that your butt remains on the couch, but your shoulders are resting on the floor.
- Your partner can pull you closer to his hips and hold onto your legs.
9. Couch Oral Sex
Sex is best when it’s spontaneous and when you need it the most. Imagine that your partner returns from work and throws himself on the couch, and you immediately get down on your knees before him.
It might sound like a cheap porn plot, but it’s actually thoughtful, and the element of surprise makes it hotter. But of course, you shouldn’t be the one who does it each time. When the session ends, ask your partner if he liked it and encourage him to return the favor.
How To Do It
- The receiving partner sits on the couch while the giving partner kneels in front of them.
- Don’t forget a pillow or couch cushions to protect your knees.
10. Couch Grinding
Being single doesn’t mean you’re stuck with dull solo sessions hidden under the covers. Think bigger and embrace the thrill of solo play with couch grinding! If you like a little voyeurism, imagine you’re in one of those countless movies where a secret observer adds a dash of excitement.
Picture yourself as the star of your own thrilling, voyeuristic adventure—it’s about creating a scene as exciting and daring as you want it to be. Turn up the heat and let your imagination run wild!
Start by grinding fully clothed. When you finally undress, make sure you don’t put too much pressure on your clitoris to prevent hurting your skin. To get even more enjoyment out of the sofa straddle position, try using a dildo at the same time (here are some examples of dildo positions). Go for a vibrating model to ensure it stimulates your G spot.
Pro Tip: Play with all your erogenous zones; rub your breasts, and trace your finger along your inner thighs and other sensitive parts.
How To Do It
- Sit on the top of the armrest with your legs on each side.
- Start gently rubbing your clitoris against the armrest.
