The holidays are coming, and what better way to spend a cozy night with your partner than to get intimate with romantic sex positions?
If you’re spending time with your significant other, intimate sex is a great way to strengthen your connection with them. If you have a holiday romance hook-up, there’s nothing more elaborate than to have slow, sensual sex.
And on the plus side, romantic positions are catered to satisfy the woman or vulva owner, while men love to enjoy making you feel satisfied. In my opinion, that’s all it takes to make your sexual experience out of this world, especially during the holidays!

Before You Start: Set The Mood
Create an atmosphere that’s inviting and seductive. You and your partner’s definition of romantic may be different from other partners.
It can mean lighted candles, dim lighting in a cabin or hotel room somewhere, being tied up BDSM-style with a blindfold in your bedroom, or an elaborate roleplay 2 hours before you have sex.
Figure out what works for both of you and discuss how to make it happen. The best way to get into the mood is by being in an environment that makes you feel good, safe, and comfortable.
Go right ahead and take the things you need to set the mood. Once that’s done, let’s dive into the 8 most romantic sex positions you can do for the holidays to light up the fiery passion in the bedroom even more.
Missionary With CAT
We all know the missionary position is intrinsically one of the best passionate sex positions. However, one way to take missionary to the next level is with CAT.
CAT is also known as the coital alignment technique – it emphasizes clitoral stimulation with vertical rubbing and movement, over thrusting vaginally. The coital alignment technique was created for people with difficulty achieving an orgasm from just vaginal penetration (more on female orgasm positions here).
The key to nailing this honeymoon position is angling your bodies the right way. It’s a simple technique with a slight variation from ordinary missionary to reach orgasm quicker.
How To Do It
- In this sex position, the receiving partner lies down and spreads their legs.
- Using a sex pillow or any pillow, place it underneath their lower back to help lift the hips for support.
- The penetrating partner gets on a high plank position on top. Your body is hovering over theirs.
- Make sure you are positioned between your receiving partner’s legs and your own.
- Start slowly by rocking up and down while using your pelvic area to rub up and down the clitoris.
- This is an excellent position for eye contact, deeper penetration, and intense orgasm.
Lotus
Next up on the list is the lotus position, one of the most intimate positions that keep you close to your partner physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Your bodies are in a full-body embrace while being face-to-face with each other – giving you all the opportunity to make it as romantic as can be.
The best thing about lotus is you can do this position almost anywhere. All this position requires is enough space to be in an Indian sit and have your partner straddle your lap.
How To Do It
- The penetrating partner sits cross-legged on the head of the bed. Leaning on the headboard for extra support on the back.
- The receiving partner sits on the penetrating partner’s lap. Straddle them with your legs wrapped behind your partner’s body.
- Use your hand to guide their penis inside and slowly rock back and forth. You may also bounce up and down if you prefer this rhythm.
- Run your arms around each other’s bodies to make it more intimate. Other options to take advantage of while in this position is to embrace your partner, kiss or suck their neck, stare into each other’s eyes, and whisper naughty things to your partner’s ear about how good you feel.
Spooning
The spooning position is suitable for slow movements, feeling every inch of your partner, and staying close to them. The receiving partner controls the depth and speed while the rear partner stays still.
As there’s not a lot of eye contact in this position, use entire body touches in the hips and waist area, kissing your partner’s shoulders or neck, and caressing their hair to maintain the romantic sex position aspect.
If you’re staying with family during the holidays and don’t want to make too much noise, spooning is the answer to experiencing pleasure while remaining quiet.
How To Do It
- Receiving partner lies on one side. You have the option to keep your legs straight out or keep your knees half-bent.
- Your penetrating partner lies directly behind you in the same direction.
- Next, raise your upper leg open. You may place your foot in front of your knee should that feel more comfortable for you.
- Reach behind and use your hands to guide your partner’s penis inside you.
- Move your hips the usual in and out, controlling the speed and depth of penetration. Stick with the movement that feels most pleasurable to you.
- Your top partner can run their fingers down the side of their body.
Cowgirl
Arguably, your sex life isn’t complete without Cowgirl in it. Who says romantic sex positions can’t have women in control? Nothing’s more erotic than when a woman is in charge of their sexuality!
In addition, it’s a sexy position to be in as you watch your receiving partner move their body in pleasure. They take charge of the speed and depth of penetration and do most of the work while you sit back and receive satisfaction in the middle of it.
Everyone loves cowgirl because it has the golden triad to make any sex position good; eye gazing, clitoral stimulation, and deep penetration are all in one position. More erotic positions here.
How To Do It
- The penetrating partner lies down on their back and lifts their knees.
- You will then straddle your partner and get on top. Spread your knees open, placing them on opposite sides of your partner’s waist.
- Use your hands to guide their penis or strap-on penis inside.
- Rock slowly by moving your hips forward and backward or in a circular motion. Find the speed and movement that feels most pleasurable, and stick with it.
- Start to increase your speed and watch your bottom partner writhe in climax.
Ballet Dancer
The ballet dancer is a standing sex position that makes you feel like you’re the main character in a romance movie. It’s not too complicated a position to get into despite how complex ballet dancer movements are.
Because you’re both face to face, there’s plenty of room for eye contact, kissing, and total body touching to increase intimacy. There are variations to the ballet dancer, like ballerina, which requires more flexibility.
How To Do It
- Both of you are standing facing each other. Do this with your penetrating partner’s back against the wall for security.
- Your penetrating partner stands with their legs hip distance apart.
- Meanwhile, the receiving partner raises one leg and wraps it around your partner’s waist.
- Your penetrating partner uses his hands to grab your butt and the other hand to hold your leg up.
- They will lean forward slightly while your back is arched and penetrate.
- This position has more shallow thrusts; you can grind against your partner to engage in clit stimulation. In turn, they can caress your butt cheeks, kiss you intimately, or such on your neck.
Sea Shell
It’s hard to come by a sex position that’s both raunchy and romantic, but the Sea Shell is one of those intimate sex positions that captures just that. It’s perfect for more adventurous nights where you want to feel rough vaginal penetration while ensuring your g spot is taken care of.
Sea shell is when missionary meets cowboy. And who doesn’t want to receive the best of both worlds from the two classic sex positions?
How To Do It
- The receiving partner lifts their legs over their head as far back as possible. You may slowly rock back and forth to gain momentum until your legs are over your head.
- You can hold onto your ankles like a happy baby pose in yoga.
- Then, your partner enters from the top and is directly face to face with you, their arms on either side of your shoulders.
- They enter from there and penetrate in and out of you repeatedly. Starting slow before thrusting harder and harder.
- To increase the intimacy in this position, watch each other’s eyes, touch his arms, or communicate openly about what you want.
Carry Me
Carry Me is one of the best face-to-face positions that keep you on the edge. It’s far from a plain Jane standing sex position. It’s also a great position to help stimulate your clit while your partner is inside you.
You can think of it as a step up from ballet dancer that’s a romantic position and a hot one at that. It does require some upper-body strength and a bit of flexibility, but the tradeoff is well worth it. Plus, getting into this position is only half the fun.
How To Do It
- There’s more than one way to get into this position.
- For the first option, you and your partner will stand on opposite sides of the room. You will then briskly run towards your partner ala Dirty Dancing style. Jump up to wrap your legs around him as he catches you.
- Your partner stands on the edge of your bed for the second option. Face him as you get on top of your bed.
- Go towards him and wrap your arms and legs around his body. He lifts you and carries you.
- From there, they may enter you and bounce up and down. Take advantage of being in a full-body embrace. Be sure to kiss, suck on their neck, or pull on their hair.
Pretzel
Last but not least, one of our favorite romantic sex positions of all time is Pretzel. The intimacy while being in pretzel is unmatched. Your arms are free to explore each other’s body, you can stare into each other’s eyes, and you are being penetrated at an angle that hits the sweet spot.
If you haven’t tried the Pretzel before, trust us when we say it’ll be one of the honeymoon positions you’ll keep returning to (You can find more married sex positions in this article).
How To Do It
- Lie down on your bed and twist your lower body to one side. Bend your knees at a 90-degree angle.
- Lift your upper leg open.
- Your partner kneels before you, inserting one knee between yours, your legs touching each other.
- He adjusts accordingly and enters from there. He thrusts in and out of you repeatedly.
- Your partner may use your thigh to thrust deeper into you. Stick to the movement you both enjoy until you feel a toe-curling orgasm.
Wrapping Up
Romantic sex positions are a surefire way to keep the spark alive with your significant other. If the intimacy is kept alive, you build a stronger connection as a couple.
The best part is you don’t always need to try the most difficult and acrobatic positions to spice up your sex life. Sometimes, returning to the familiar ones and perfecting them is enough to satisfy each other.
There’s always a time and a place to have whatever type of sex you want with your partner. During the holiday season, it’s best to slow down, enjoy each other’s passionate touch, and be romantic!
