Without further ado, let’s get down to business.

Pile Driver

Also known as the jackhammer, the Pile Driver is an interesting sex position as it requires a lot of strength and flexibility. Fair warning, it can be quite awkward getting into this position. But, one of the benefits of this position is that it allows for deep penetration, which both you and your partner will surely enjoy.

Pile Driver sex position

With your partner’s penis or strap-on, the woman or receiving partner is in the most optimal position to receive its entire length. The downward angle at which penetration happens also results in sensations that will leave your mind boggled. The guy can go as hard and deep as he can because he controls the pressure and depth of penetration.

How To Do It

  1. Start slow as you assume this position.
  2. Your receiving partner starts in a lying down position with their back on the ground.
  3. With bent knees, they rock back until their feet touch the ground. Their lower back should be off the floor.
  4. Next, your partner straddles your hips and slides his penis inside.
  5. They squat and thrust in a downward motion.

Wheel Barrow

The Wheel Barrow sex position is not just great for being an arm workout. This unique position is male-dominated and just like the pile driver, it gives your deeper penetration. To make things even more interesting, you can try doing this by the side of your bed or resting on a table to give your arms a break.

The wheelbarrow

With the Wheel Barrow, one partner supports themselves up using their hands while the other grabs their legs and performs the penetration. This creates sensual stimulation plus the feeling of being elevated from the ground, something you don’t always get from your usual sex positions. If this sex position seems crazy for you, here are more crazy sex positions you might want to see.

How To Do It

  1. One partner gets on their hands and knees.
  2. They extend their legs straight back, coming into a plank position.
  3. The other partner lifts their ankles, extends their legs out, then moves closer until they are about to penetrate
  4. The receiving partner may wrap their legs around the other’s thighs to bring their bodies even closer.
  5. The penetrating partner thrusts in and out repeatedly, controlling the level of intensity and depth of penetration.

Bridge

Just like in Pilates and yoga, the bridge position does wonders for the body. The same can be said for the Bridge sex position. While it’s not exactly a relaxing position, it combines the advantages of the yoga pose plus receiving sexual stimulation at the same time. Now, who wouldn’t want that?

This position does require some flexibility and strength on the part of the receiving partner, so it may help to practice or do some stretches beforehand to loosen those joints. Once you’ve got the hang of it, this could easily become one of your favorite unique sex positions.

How To Do It

  1. The female partner lies on the ground with knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
  2. They lift their hips. They can stay here in a simple bridge position or do a full bridge by stretching their arms out beside their ears and lifting their full body up. Do whatever feels best for you.
  3. Meanwhile, the other partner kneels in front of the receiving partner and grabs their hips for support as they begin penetration.
  4. The penetrating partner holds onto the receiving partner’s body and uses it to pull in and out of them for deep thrusts.

Spider

From the name itself, you know the Spider position is an intriguing one. It’s like doing a crab walk, but way sexier and hotter. An advantage of this position is that partners still maintain eye contact while giving and receiving pleasure. Oh, and not to mention the top benefit of the spider is that it hits your partner’s G spot. With your free hand, you can easily stimulate their clitoris and create an even more pleasurable feeling.

In the Spider position, both partners control the movement, allowing you to find a rhythm that satisfies both of you. With all the hip spreading and leg action, the Spider does call for some flexibility. But, once you’re in position, let your pelvises do the work.

To switch things up, you can also opt to grab your partner’s hands and lift yourself into a squatting position while your partner lies back. Another option is for your partner to stay seated upright and have them hold you against their chest.

How To Do It

  1. Sit on the floor and face each other with knees bent in front. Get closer to each other and alternate your knees.
  2. You can have both knees inside while your partner’s knees are outside, or switch positions.
  3. Stretch your arms out behind you.
  4. Your partner begins penetration, thrusting their hips in and out of your body.
  5. Stretch your arms behind you and use them to leverage your body to move forward and back to help you maintain this pose until orgasm.

Cross Booty

The cross booty is an interesting sex position for when you want to take things slow. It’s also perfect if you are paying with a dildo or if your partner’s penis is flexible. With this position, your bodies form an “X,” which helps with clitoral stimulation and G spot stimulation and allows you to feel each sensation more deeply.

This is one of those sex positions that require minimal effort but still offer a lot of pleasure. For an added thrill, you can even massage your partner’s legs, back, or butt while they thrust into you. For more sex positions that need minimal effort, check out some of the lazy positions we ranked.

How To Do It

  1. The receiving partner lies down and spreads their legs open.
  2. The penetrating partner goes on top and positions their body diagonally – with their head off to the side of the receiving partner.
  3. The penetrating partner enters and thrusts in and out.
  4. You may opt to start slow and shallow before going deeper and quicker.

Pretzel

The pretzel position combines some of the best things from positions such as missionary and doggy style. You have full-body embrace, intimacy, and eye contact from the missionary, and you also get deep penetration from both doggy style and missionary. It’s the best of both worlds.

With the pretzel, your legs are intertwined, giving the penetrating partner open access and allowing a deeper stretch for the receiving partner. There is even space for some hand play because you’re not holding yourself up. This is one of those romantic positions that will leave you feeling incredibly satisfied and pleasured.

How To Do It

  1. The receiving partner lies down and bends their knee to one side, whichever side is more comfortable.
  2. They lift their top knee and keep it open.
  3. Have your partner kneel and center their body on your lower leg. Both his knees are in between your legs.
  4. Wrap your upper knee around your partner’s waist. Your partner can also use it to leverage with each thrust.
  5. Keep eye contact and try to arouse each other’s erogenous zones to maximize this position.

Carry Me

You may have seen the Carry Me sex position in movies or read about it in books. It’s an intimate position that many women have probably fantasized about experiencing, because of how exciting it looks. This is also a pretty romantic position, with full body contact and being face-to-face with one another.

There is even room for stimulation of the G spot. One thing to note is that this sex position does require the carrying partner to have decent upper body strength. If standing positions are your cup of tea, you can find more here.

How To Do It

  1. On the edge of the bed, the bottom partner stands up hip distance apart.
  2. Meanwhile, the top partner climbs on top of the bed. They go closer to the standing partner and wrap one leg around their waist.
  3. Then, they wrap both their arms around their partner’s neck.
  4. The standing partner may hold onto their partner’s butt and lower body for support until they are fully carried.
  5. The standing partner penetrates while lifting their partner’s body up and down in a bouncing motion.

Table Top

Aside from Carry Me, one of the most popular sex positions in movies is the Table Top. It gives you face-to-face action, and it’s the perfect quickie position for those times you just want to have sex here and now. What makes this a great position too is if you and your partner have big height differences, the Table Top has you both at the same height. (More on short girl sex positions here.)

Though it is called the Table Top, the possibilities are endless when it comes to where you can do this position. In reality, any flat surface will do, whether it’s the bathroom counter, bedside table, kitchen counter, dining table, or even the office desk, whatever surface is nearest to you at the moment.

For added fun, you can bring your legs down and place your feet on your partner’s chest by their shoulders. This puts the receiving partner in control of the depth and speed of thrusts. And if you want to add “more fun”, check these fun sex positions.

How To Do It

  1. Find a flat surface that you can perform this position on.
  2. Get on top of it and lie down. Raise your knees above your chest and spread them.
  3. Your partner enters standing up and penetrates. He may need to move your body closer to the edge of the table for easier penetration.
  4. He thrusts in and out of you making slow movements to start before speeding it up. Both your hands are free to roam around and touch each other’s bodies.
