Standing sex positions offer a wide variety of options. While some aren't the easiest way to have sex, they can bring an added level of exciting physical challenges and spur-of-the moment newness to your lovemaking. How Does it Work?

Your weight can mostly held by your knees and thighs, so don’t get too wound up about “crushing” your partner — just make sure they feel comfortable communicating how much pressure is good from you on top! Getting oral with your legs closed turns arousal up to 11. This position puts all the pressure right where you want it, so if an intense orgasm is what you’re after, you’ll want to give it a try. To that end, below you’ll find five sex positions, courtesy of sex therapist Marissa Nelson,that are geared toward serious clitoral stimulation. Because while we won’t argue that sex for the sake of connection isn’t fun and all, sometimes a woman just needs to cross the finish line. So let’s all do our part to close the gap!You could surprise your partner with your favourite position from the list. Or perhaps you prefer to look through these positions with your partner, to warm up the atmosphere and raise the temperature? The man must have a strong erection for this to work. For some men, this may mean limiting this position to the morning. When it comes to women getting off, sex experts say the key (at least physically) is to stimulate the clitoris, which is the anatomical equivalent of the penis in terms of structure and sensitivity. But because much of the clitoris is buried in tissue, muscle and fat, it can be more complicated and time-consuming to stimulate and bring to orgasm. That anatomical difference is one reason why the term“orgasm gap” was coined — because men’s bodies may make it a bit easier for them to come. But because of outdated societal norms that depict sex as a vehicle for men to get off, they’ve also traditionally had the luxury of expecting to climax, even if it was at the expense of a woman’s pleasure. Climb on top of your partner while they’re sitting with their legs straight ahead. This is a great one for serious friction, deep penetration and feeling intimate and close — a winner all-around. “Instead of bouncing up and down, try grinding simultaneously,” says Nelson. “They can also put their hand on your butt for more assertive and deeper penetration.”

The Uncloak the Clitoris sex position is here to remind you that you’re never too cool for hand stuff. Another reminder: the vast majority of people with vulvas can’t orgasm from penetration alone (which is totally fine — and orgasm isn’t the point of good sex anyway!). But if you are looking to help your partner get off, keeping your hands free to give their clitoris some love is an expert move.If you’re looking for a hot self-lovin’ moment, the Superstar is where it’s at. Kneel on a soft surface with your torso upright, opening your knees to a comfortable position. Use your arm for support or lean against a wall and experiment with angles to find the explore the sensation. One position is ideal if you have a bench or a wider rim of your tub — have the penatrating partner keep both legs on the ground (they do need to keep their balance game together here!) while the partner being penetrated takes them from the front, lifting one leg up to wrap around their partner or to rest on the side of the tub. Just add water. Keeping beach sex under wraps can make it even hotter. Doing it under a blanket is best if you try a simple but sexy spooning position and wrap your arms around each other. Just remember to wait until the beach clears out for the day!

The blindfolds that both partners (!) use in this move will remove every last inhibition. The receiving partner is on top this time, with their heels planted on the bed for leverage and the perfect angle. Just make sure you get into position beforeslipping on the blindfolds. To make it even better, when they’re thrusting, start doing some Kegels, you will be squeezing his penis tight, which will be a pleasurable sensation for both of you,” she adds. This position is basically beach sex 101: Just pull your swimsuit to the side and get busy. For this on-your-feet move, find a secluded, wind-protected area, lean up against a sturdy support, and enjoy some intimate time in the sun.If you’re a fan of cowgirl and girl-on-top, this position will be a natural fit for you. “While it’s not the easiest of positions, it gives the partner on top ultimate control and deep penetration from a different angle,” says Nelson. “You should also self-stimulate the clitoris at the same time to have a possible blended orgasm.” The woman’s range of motion is quite limited in the missionary position, other than to thrust upward in time with her partner. English: This video is an example of a man and woman having penile-vaginal intercourse in the standing position, a relatively normal example of sexual intercourse. It begins with the insertion of a man's erect penis into a woman's vagina at 0:07, followed by pelvic thrusts, becoming faster, initially to stimulate the vagina as it continues to lengthen and become lubricated. At around 0:49 the man moves the woman's legs apart from each other to allow for better penetration of the vagina. At this point, the man thrusts with his penis moderately, trying different rhythms while the woman is mostly stationary. Then at 1:27 the man and woman begin to thrust against each other in a steady rhythm. The moans and deep breathing associated with increasing arousal begin at about 1:43. At around 2:13 the woman makes very big thrusts, suggesting she is nearing a climax; after her intense thrusting, she pauses at 2:25, whispering "oui," French for "yes," indicating that she experiences an orgasm. The man and woman then continue to thrust vigorously, and at 2:43 both the man and woman reach an orgasm; the man also begins to ejaculate into the vagina. His penis exhibits noticeable contractions both during his ejaculation, and after he withdraws his penis from the vagina at 2:55, when the contractions cause his penis to bounce (which may be assumed partly voluntary) as his erection subsides. Semen can be seen dripping from the vagina after the penis is withdrawn. This is a great opportunity for the penetrating partner to easily stimulate the clitoris with their hands and get a great view at the same time,” says Alden. “It doesn’t require a ton of physical labor, just a little flexibility. It’s also an opportune moment for people who are feeling exposed or body-conscious to practice self-acceptance.” Once both partner’s heads are between each other’s thighs, each partner should wrap their arms around the other’s waist and hold on tight. Next, the stronger partner stands up and each partner stimulates their partner’s genitals with their tongue and mouth.
