Ready to spice up your sex life? Starting with easy sex positions is a great way to build comfort and connection, making every encounter more enjoyable. Perfect for beginners, these straightforward setups help you explore your preferences and enhance your experience in a relaxed way. Dive in and discover the joys of keeping it simple!


1. Missionary

Missionary Sex Position

The classic missionary is considered ‘vanilla,’ but there’s nothing wrong with enjoying your partner’s body without fancy toys or outfits. When you start your sex journey, you’re just beginning to explore what you like and dislike in bed, so taking things slow is essential.

This easy sex position lets you savor every sensation and teach you how to communicate with your partner. Please talk about your boundaries beforehand but also pay attention to their facial expressions.

In addition, since it’s a face-to-face position, you can see any signs of discomfort on their faces plus witness their climax, beating any kind of crazy position that doesn’t have this level of intimacy.

In missionary, your partner can keep eye contact or lean forward and steal a passionate kiss. From here, you can progress to missionary variations: pillow under your pelvis, legs on your partner’s shoulders, legs around their hips – let your imagination run free!

How To Do It

  1. Lie on your back with your legs spread.
  2. Your partner positions himself over you.
  3. You can wrap your legs around his waist for deeper penetration.

 


2. Cowgirl

Cow Girl Position

The cowgirl position puts you in control, allowing your partner a full view of your body and the action, which might feel intimidating at first. However, as you grow more comfortable, this exposure can feel empowering. There’s a unique allure to steering the pace and depth of penetration yourself. Experimenting with various angles and techniques helps you find what pleases you most, transforming any initial self-consciousness into a celebration of your own sexuality.

How To Do It

  1. The penis owner lies on his back.
  2. The vagina owner straddles them and places their hand on the chest for better balance.
  3. You can also lean forward to change the angle of the penetration. You can also try leaning back.

 


3. Spooning

Spooning Sex Position

Spooning is a wonderfully simple position that’s perfect for beginners. Think about it—you’re already used to cuddling this way, so involving your genitals (or a strap-on) is just a small step further. What makes spooning ideal for new couples is the comfort of having your partner’s arms around you. The first few times can be nerve-wracking as you get used to new sensations, and spooning helps ease those nerves. It’s a gentle reminder to take things at your own pace and let comfort build naturally.

It’s also one of the most intimate sex positions. Your partner can stroke your hair or kiss your neck to help you feel more comfortable. Plus, he has access to all your erogenous zones, teaching him to focus on your pleasure.

Pro Tip: Spooning is the best way to introduce a sex toy. Since your partner can’t see your face and watch how you touch yourself, it will give you more confidence to try different types of stimulation.

How To Do It

  1. Lie on your sides facing the same direction, like in the regular spooning position.
  2. The receiving partner lifts her top leg.
  3. The giving partner slides into the position and wraps his arms around his partner.
  4. The vulva owner can keep their top leg up or squeeze legs together to allow their partner to go deeper.

 


4. Doggy Style

Doggy Style Position

Doggy is one of the most popular search terms on porn sites. For some, it’s exciting, while for others, it’s intimidating. So why does it work so well for beginners?

Well, the answer is simple. It’s effortless to get into, and your partner just turns you around and slides inside. And because it’s a rear-entry position, it allows you to experience G-spot stimulation and discover new sensations.

The only downside is your partner won’t be able to spot the signs of discomfort if you’re facing away. Make sure you talk about your concerns and boundaries before giving it a go.

Pro Tip: When you want to take this to the next level, try having sex in front of the mirror. It might sound intimidating at first, but it’s extremely hot!

How To Do It

  1. Kneel on the edge of the bed.
  2. Your partner then stands behind you and slides inside.
  3. You can arch your back for deeper penetration.
  4. In addition, you have room to stimulate your clit.

 


5. Lying Doggy (Prone)

Once you’ve mastered the doggy, it’s time to progress to lying doggy. It’s a full-body position with plenty of skin-to-skin contact, allowing you to feel emotionally connected to your partner even though you can’t keep eye contact. Plus, the positioning means he can whisper words of affirmation to your ear. In between neck kisses, of course!

The lying doggy is also one of the best first-time positions for those who enjoy deep thrusting. In this position, your partner can go all the way inside of you and help you reach a G-spot orgasm. Unfortunately, it leaves no space for clitoral stimulation, but the sexual journey is not always about the orgasm, is it?

Pro Tip: You’ve already mastered lying doggy and want to mix things up? Try butt play. Have your partner finger you or use toys to stimulate your anus for maximum pleasure.

How To Do It

  1. Lie on your stomach with your legs straight and slightly spread.
  2. The top partner positions himself in between your thighs and slides inside.
  3. You can squeeze your knees together for a deeper thrust.

 


 6. Table Top

Are you feeling adventurous, but you’re still new to sex? The tabletop is a good option to spice things up but still play it safe. Here’s why it’s a fantastic position:

  • This basic sex position follows the same rules as the missionary, so that you won’t have problems getting into it.
  • The only difference is you have to use a table, an excuse to take things from the bedroom to the living room. Imagine having friends over and replaying the sexy time in your head. Yummy!
  • It also allows you to explore your likes and dislikes. Make it more intimate – have your partner play with your breasts and steal a passionate kiss here and there – or wild – you can try choking and hair-pulling.

How To Do It

  1. The receiving partner sits or lies on the table with legs spread.
  2. The penetrating partner stands between your legs and places his hands on your hips.

 


 7. 69

Many people watch porn to prepare for their first time and learn how to satisfy their partner. Unfortunately, sex in porn movies doesn’t quite reflect reality. Even worse, it usually values men’s pleasure over women’s. That’s why you should try the 69 position.

The 69 shows you how exciting and rewarding it is to please your partner at the same time as they please you. Plus, it’s excellent foreplay that can prepare you for super deep penetration.

As you become more comfortable, you should try adding more stimulation. Yes, I’m talking about sex toys. A good adult toy will help you explore new sensations and bring you to an intense orgasm. Try a rabbit vibrator or a vibrating dildo.

How To Do It

  1. The giving partner lies on their back.
  2. Position yourself over your partner’s body while facing the opposite direction.
  3. Please stay in the kneeling position to avoid putting weight on the penis haver.
