Are you ready to rediscover the joys of the classic missionary position? Contrary to popular belief, missionary doesn’t have to be mundane. In fact, it’s about to get a whole lot more exciting! We’re here to breathe new life into this timeless sex position with a list of thrilling variations that give you more intimacy and pleasure. Dive into our guide and discover why it’s making a major comeback.
Fun Fact: Missionary is women’s second favorite sex position. [1] Do women care more about intimacy (missionary is a face-to-face position, after all), or is it the unique stimulation that wins them over?

1. Traditional Missionary
Many people might call the missionary boring, but that’s not giving it enough credit. If your sex life feels a bit dull, the problem isn’t the position—it’s the lack of creativity. Here’s why it deserves more love:
- Missionary is great for maintaining eye contact and moving slowly, making it incredibly intimate. Plus, it doesn’t have to be gentle—you can spice things up with some intensity, like adding a bit of choking.
- Being able to see each other’s expressions is incredibly sexy. It helps you connect, communicate, and find out what each other enjoys.
- You’re close enough for dirty talk or whisper sweet affirmations. Who doesn’t like to be told they’re amazing in the heat of the moment?
How To Do It
- Lie on your back with your legs apart.
- Your partner climbs on top and slides into the position.
2. Cross Booty
Cross Booty doesn’t seem appealing at first glance, but it’s all about how it feels. Cross booty allows your partner to move his penis at an angle that results in an unusual but powerful type of stimulation.
Plus, there’s a bonus: you can relax and let your partner do all the work! You can even reward him with back rubs and butt squeezes. And if your partner likes anal sex, don’t forget to stimulate his anus. While the positioning makes it hard to maintain eye contact, nothing says intimacy more than anal play.
Pro Tip: You can also consider using a butt plug to enjoy double anal penetration.
How To Do It
- The vagina owner lies on the bed with legs slightly apart.
- The penetrating partner enters them while lying sideways so that their limbs form an X.
- To make things easier, the penis owner can enter them in a classic missionary position and then turn sideways.
3. Table Top
While Tabletop is not the most comfortable missionary sex position (unless you think ahead and cover the table with something soft), roleplay is key. Think of a scenario that goes well with penetrative sex on the table and turn your fantasies into reality. No more lazy tired missionary. It’s a hot having-an-affair-with-my-boss kink night!
Another benefit is your pelvis is slightly elevated, making it easy for your partner to reach your G spot. You can also rub your clitoris while he’s riding you to maximize the pleasure.
Pro Tip: Incorporate toys into the play (think a rabbit vibrator or gag ball).
Pro Tip 2: Consider putting a pillow under your head to make it more comfortable.
How To Do It
- Lie on the table with your legs apart.
- Your partner stands between your legs and slides into the position. He can rest one arm on the table and put the other on your hips.
4. Pretzel
Despite its name, this missionary position isn’t as complex as a yoga pose. It’s a straightforward face-to-face setup, though it offers less skin-to-skin contact than other variations. However, this can actually work to your advantage if you like teasing your partner.
You can take control of your partner’s movements by squeezing your thighs or placing your hand on their chest to keep them from coming in for a kiss. This allows for slower, more teasing stimulation, letting you watch as your partner grows increasingly eager.
How To Do It
- The bottom partner is lying on their side and rests on their elbow.
- She lifts her leg while the penetrating partner kneels with one of his partner’s legs between his knees.
- The receiving partner hooks the raised leg on her partner’s hip.
5. Missionary With Pillow
This twist on the missionary position is perfect for the coital alignment technique (CAT), which focuses on clitoral stimulation. Both partners start in a typical missionary pose, but the penetrating partner positions themselves slightly higher. This adjustment allows their shaft to rub against the clitoris.
The coital alignment technique is designed to give you both clitoral and vaginal orgasms, enhancing sexual compatibility and satisfaction between partners. This approach could be the key to more fulfilling intercourse.
How To Do It
- One partner lies on her back and slides a pillow under her pelvis.
- The top partner can then climb on top.
6. Missionary With Legs On Shoulder (Seashell)
Missionary with legs on shoulders is my favorite variation as it allows for extra-deep penetration, and it’s easy to control the depth of penetration. Your partner is deep inside you, and you can hear his breathing quicken with every move. Plus, you can see each other’s faces, making it easier to orgasm simultaneously. Nothing hotter than that.
You can add oral sex to spice things up even more. Have your partner go down on you and make sure he gives enough attention to your clitoris. He can then move over your face and have the favor returned.
How To Do It
- Get on your back and have your partner kneel between your legs.
- Put your legs on his shoulders and let him slide into the position.
7. Missionary With Legs On Chest
Missionary position might not be known for deep thrusting, but by placing your legs on your partner’s chest, you create an angle that allows easier access to the G-spot, paving the way for powerful orgasms.
Struggle to climax without a vibrator? No worries! You can seamlessly incorporate your favorite toy between you and your partner to take charge of your pleasure. Consider trying a couples vibrator that stimulates both your clitoris and your partner’s penis (or strap-on) simultaneously. After all, sharing pleasure enhances the experience for both of you!
How To Do It
- The receiving partner is on her back, just like the standard missionary position.
- She puts her legs on her partner’s chest and lets him slide into the position.
8. The Spork
This cute name comes from a combination of the spooning and missionary position. It gives you proximity, intimacy, eye contact, and deeper penetration. Because of these benefits, it’s excellent for both couples and friends with benefits who like being affectionate.
Since it favors slow thrusting, it’s a place to start if you want to try tantric sex positions. Also known as sexual yoga (more sexual yoga poses here), it refers to sex that’s slow and deliberate. The key to Tantric sex is to enjoy being present and learning about your partner’s body rather than climaxing.
Sure, orgasms are incredible, but if you combine heightened sensations and body exploration, you’ll have a recipe for sex from another level. Keep eye contact and enjoy the sexual journey.
How To Do It
- Lie on your back.
- Your partner then positions himself between your legs at 90 degrees, basically in a spooning position.
