Though the goal for couples having sex is for both parties to receive mutual sexual satisfaction, there are certainly sex positions that are more pleasurable for the man or the woman. Often during sex, a couple will experiment with multiple positions, some of which are meant to provide more pleasure for the male while others are done for the benefit of the female. For men, the agility to thrust deeply into a female often maximizes the amount of satisfaction he is able to gain in the bedroom. Below are 10 of the top sex positions for men.
Doggy
A true favorite of many men, doggy position is when the man is behind his partner, both are facing the same direction, she is kneeling on all fours, and he enters her from behind. Usually, this allows the thrusting partner to penetrate quite deeply (be sure she’s really turned on and ready). If you’re on your feet or knees and standing upright, this allows you to thrust in and out quite easily, plus you can grab her hips and help her rock back on your penis. You get a terrific view of her backside, with great opportunity for a little anal play if she agrees.
Pile Driver
Mostly seen in adult films, the pile driver is a slightly complicated position that requires the woman to be almost entirely upside down, frequently propped up by leaning against a bed, with her head and shoulders on the floor. Her legs must be bent so that her feet come near her head, offering an unobstructed path to her fun parts. Generally, the man is standing up and can penetrate her and thrust by bending his knees up and down to create a full-body movement. This position must be done carefully--it’s not always comfortable for the woman, and vigorous activity can easily result in an injury!
Missionary: Legs Up
Missionary position is, of course, a classic. What’s not to love about an aroused woman spread-eagled and ready for action? Missionary allows the man to control the thrusting speed and depth, while getting a lovely view of her breasts and face. An easy adjustment on this position is to take her legs and gently push them up, aiming to put her feet by her ears (make sure her knees bend). Note: Do not force it, she may not be flexible enough! The point is not to actually put her feet up to her ears, but to rotate her hips, making the angle of entry much easier and enabling you to go deeper. An easier way to do it is to put her knees over your shoulders, then your body can help her maintain the angle. This will help your penis stroke her G-spot as you go in and out. (Terrific position for oral sex, as well!)
Cowgirl, Sitting Up
Feeling lazy? Let her ride you! Cowgirl position (woman on top) is a great way to let her control the pace of your action. It also leaves your hands free for stroking and touching, plus you get a great view of her body! If you’re sitting up slightly (in a chair or propped up against a cushion), she can control the action simply by rotating her hips, instead of hopping up and down. Also, this angle lets her get some wonderful stimulation to her clitoris, making it much easier for her to orgasm during sex.
Standing Up
If you can manage to do it standing up, showers with your lover can become a lot more interesting! Standing up sex, whether facing your partner or from behind, broadens your options for doing it anytime, anywhere. Because men generally are taller than women, it makes the action fairly easy--you’ll just be bending your knees to stroke down, and then standing up straight to thrust in and up. Help her out: If you’re facing her, lift one of her legs up with your arm, and hook your elbow under her knee (this angle helps her keep her hips rotated toward you). If you are strong enough, pick her up and carry her around while bouncing her around a bit.
Spooning
A lot like standing-up sex, only lying down. Got some morning wood, but still not fully awake? Enjoy the lazy, sleepy, sweetly sexy time with some slow, relaxed foreplay. Caress her from behind, get her all hot and ready, and then go to town. She may need to lift her top leg to give you the best access. Help her out by holding it with your arm--muscle cramps are no fun in the middle of sex.
Doggy: The Wheelbarrow
A more athletic variation of doggy-style, the wheelbarrow involves grabbing your partner’s legs and lifting so that she can wrap her legs around the small of your back. You’ll be supporting her weight on your hips and grabbing her under the hips or thighs to help with your thrusting. She’ll be holding herself up with her hands, or possibly leaning down with her head and upper chest on a flat surface. This position is easier to achieve with a little support, like an ottoman or chair.
The Lap Dance
Re-create the gentleman’s club at home! Sit in a chair (naked of course), and let your partner do her seductive dance and striptease. When she’s ready, she can climb on your lap, turned around so she’s not facing you (essentially, this is reverse cowgirl in a chair). She can bounce up and down, while you have both hands free to stroke and caress. Even better: Make sure there’s a mirror nearby so you can have a great view of her body and her pleasure ride!
Kneeling Missionary
As you kneel down and rock back on your heels, you can grab your partner and lift her onto your lap, so her legs come over your hips. She then leans back and props herself up on her arms so that most of her body is in the air. This puts you right at nipple-sucking level, plus it’s extremely easy to rock her back and forth on your penis.
Sitting/Standing Combo
In this fun position, she is sitting (on a stool, chair, table, or countertop) and you are standing. Terrific for a quickie when she’s really turned on! She is spread-eagled, upright, and facing you. Tip: Start with some hot oral sex on her before moving on. You can enter her easily when she’s sitting at the very edge of the seat. If she curls her hips under, the angle of entry is pleasing for both of you.
