According to the Kamasutra, there are 64 different types of sexual acts we can try during lovemaking and having sex with our partner. They vary, of course, from being complex muscle movements to soft, sexy postures. It’s time to start pleasing your ladies. While you think you might be pleasing her, more often than not, you’re missing the mark. Women know that most guys want them to reach O-land, and they don't want to disappoint.
To be good in bed doesn’t mean you have to be an expert, armed with vibrating goodies and a whip! You want to make sure your sexual partner appreciates you for all the right reasons. Follow our wise advice to ensure you get the best from your sex life. If things are getting a little slow in the bedroom, or you fancy a bit of fun outside the bedroom, then you've come to the right place. There are plenty of sex positions to choose from, but to narrow it down, we've put together a gallery of your favourite sex positions - the most popular sex positions.
1. The traditional missionary
Although the missionary position is widely regarded as the big grey pants of sexual positions, it's still the most popular, and it's easy to see why: it allows for close body contact and eye contact with kissing and talking throughout. There's very little the woman can do to chivvy things along though, so he has to be prepared to do all the work.
2. Woman on top
Most men love it when women take charge and this is the perfect position for you to do so. You can still have lots of snogging and body-to-body contact but you get to have control of how fast or slowly things are progressing. This can sometimes prove frustrating for him, but at least he gets a view to compensate!
3. The tabletop
This is a great one to try outside of the bedroom on any relatively flat, thigh-height surface like the dining room table, pool table, your boss's desk (you get the picture). It sounds like you need to be quite supple to get it right but in actual fact it's quite easy.
4. The spoon
This is an intimate position and is ideal for the incredibly lazy - you don't even need to move to fall asleep happily (afterwards though!). It's also a great position for a bit of neck nuzzling on his part, or for him to whisper sweet nothings or sweeter somethings into your ear.
5. Doggy-style
This is one of the most common positions for lots of reasons. Firstly, it's said to be one of the easiest ways to find the elusive G-spot (or at least to have fun trying). It's also a position that men really enjoy because it's quite primal. He gets to feel powerful and can see the mechanics of what's going on at the same time. Men love that for some reason.
6. The lap dance
This one requires the use of a regular chair with no arms. It's quite limiting in how much it allows you both to move (and you have to do most of the work), but it's easy to change to another position like doggy style, without too much bother.
7. The quickie
This is the perfect position for quickie sex. If you're wearing a skirt, it can be done quite easily without removing any clothing at all. This is the position you always see performed in the movies in a domestic setting - like on the washing machine or kitchen counter!
8. The rocker
This position is great for blokes who like bums as he'll get a great view but it's not one for novices. He'll be totally in control with the added bonus that you'll have an element of surprise thrown in - you won't be able to see anything he's doing!
9. The L
This one's a little fiddly to get into properly but the results are worth it for him and you. It can be hard work for you to keep her legs together and you could even get cramp (eek!) but crossing the legs at the ankles can avoid this.
10. Stand & deliver
Having sex standing up is demanding but passionate - you have to really be in the mood for it and have a good sense of balance! This position is an easy one to get you started but you'll probably want to switch positions when things get steamy.
