7 Intimate Sex Positions to Try
There is always a discussion on what are the best positions for orgasm, or the best feeling positions, or even the most acrobatic. However, what about the most “passionate” positions? Which sexual positions offer the most intimacy between partners? So, the next time you want to add a different level of intimacy to sex, give one of these positions a try!
1. Missionary
The missionary position always gets a bad rap as being “too vanilla” for some people. While it is true that the missionary position is a fairly, well, common position – the truth is that it is popular for a reason. Mainly, couples have been doing it for centuries because it is a very romantic and close position where you are face-to-face with your partner. This promotes closeness, kissing and gazing into each other’s eyes. For passionate positions, missionary definitely comes out on top!
Benefits:
- Ideal for intimate kissing, feelings of closeness, and body contact
- Allows the bottom partner to explore their partner's body while maintaining gentle stroking
- Allows for the top partner to control rhythm and speed
2. Lifted Missionary
Next up, we're going to take the classic missionary position and spice things up a bit. Rather than laying down and looking into each other's eyes, you're going to be standing up. The penetrating partner will pick up the receiving partner, push them up against a wall and basically have missionary sex but standing up. In order to make this intimate, continue to maintain eye contact and embrace your lover with passionate touches.
Benefits:
- An ideal position for deeper penetration and mutual satisfaction with the perfect angle for G-spot stimulation
- Increases intimacy with direct eye contact and passionate kissing through face to face positioning
- This position is an opportunity for physical closeness that allows access for fondling and caressing
3. Spooning
Spooning is not just for after sex or sleeping. Oh, no, it is also for having sex! In the spooning position one partner cuddles up behind the other partner and enters from behind. Throw in a little neck kissing, cheek kissing, whisper in their ear and touch all over their body. The person being the "little spoon" will feel tenderly embraced by their partner. It is for this reason that spooning adds a great deal of intimacy as a sex position.
Benefits:
- Fosters a deep sense of connection and closeness between partners, enhancing intimacy
- Allows for direct stimulation to sensitive erogenous zones such as the G-spot, encouraging partners to explore and discover new sources of pleasure.
- This highly versatile position allows partners to experience and experiment with new techniques for mutual satisfaction
4. Reverse Spooning
Similar to the spooning position, another very intimate position is laying side-by-side. This is a modified version of the missionary position, where you and your partner are each on your side looking into one another's eyes. Doesn't get much more intimate than deep eye contact with someone you love.
Benefits:
- Provides opportunity for mutual stimulation as partners can easily reach each other's erogenous zones
- The comfortable and relaxed posture of this position reduces strain on the body and promotes long lasting sex
- Look in your partners eyes and experience the deep connection you've been longing for
5. The Lotus
The lotus is basically a hug in the form of a sex position. What you're going to do is sit down cross legged (butterfly legs!) and your partner will basically come down to sit on top of you. Then you'll intimately embrace one another with your arms. This position is often used in tantric sex, and can be very intimate even without any kind of penetration.
Benefits:
- The proximity in the Lotus position allows for a deeply emotional experience that fosters intimate connections between partners and enhances the overall experience
- This position promotes a sense of closeness and connection between partners
- In this position the receiving partner is in prime placement for clitoral stimulation, enhancing the arousal of both partners
6. The Cowgirl
The cowgirl sex position can be kinky, but it can also be incredibly intimate if done the right way. If you've done the cowgirl position before, then you know what to do. The person receiving will hop on top as their partner enters them. But how do we make this more intimate? Well, it's alllll in the eye contact baby! While you're riding your partner, look them deeply in the eyes and maintain that eye contact to deepen the intimacy level.
Benefits:
- Allows for close and intimate eye contact that can heighten arousal and sexual excitement
- This position fosters trust and communication allowing partners to connect on a deeper level, understanding one another's desires
- Team work makes the dream work! With this position the partner on top can take control of angle and speed while the bottom partner controls overall rhythm and pace
7. Doggy With an Intimate Twist
Last but certainly not least intimate, is the classic doggy style position. However, we're gonna put a twist on it to make it more intimate for you and your lover. Rather than the receiver being on their knees with their ass in the air waiting for a nice smack on the rear, the receiver is actually going to fully lay down. Then the penetrating partner will climb on top of them and fully embrace them while slowly inserting themselves. It's basically like you are being hugged or spooned while also being intimately penetrated. It's a win, win!
Benefits:
- This position promotes a sense of relaxation and pleasure, making it ideal for prolonged and highly enjoyable sex
- By lying down and fully embracing their partner, the receiver is relaxed and open to deeper penetration, enhancing sensations for both partners
- Offering balance of physical and emotional satisfaction, this position allows both partners to experience heightened arousal.
I agree with Phillip 100%! The T position is the best overlooked position for comfortable and prolonged sex since there is no body weight on either partner. Another variation of the T position is the female putting her legs over her partner pulling the hips tightly and then rocks back and forth controlling the sexual contact then holds the penis or strap-on deep and tight inside the woman’s wet “V” while having orgasms. Another position I like is the L which is great for oral sex! One partner laying on her back or side lengthwise and he or she comes across and lines up his head at the crotch area or butt hole and licks away and one partner can masturbate the other depending what body part is being licked sucked on. Out of the 7 positions that were shown I’ve only done 1, 6 and 7 and another sex position missed I call 6A – Reverse Cowgirl which I enjoyed more than the regular Cowgirl! One thing I didn’t like – speaking from experience – was changing sex positions to quickly and often which my 1st wife loved to do. My current wife had a book given to her by one of her besties, but disappeared a while back called the 365 days of sex positions that you opened one day at a time, and you performed that sex act on the page you uncovered. The problem she had with the book there was a warning that some of the covered pages included adding partners and I assured her we could skip those pages if she wanted to, but deep down I think she threw the book away after checking out the whole book, I know I would have!

How come no one ever mentions the T-SQUARE position? Our favorite. Look it up on Wikipedia.
My favor is to let my husband have anal sex! He love that alot! I love it went he is foreplay and I’m the one receiving it especially went he had his fingers inside of me
I love the Lotus position with a little twist. We both get into the jacuzzi tub and after a little of foreplay, he pulls me on to his lap and enters me. We hold a tight embrace while he moves me slowly back and forth until we cum together. Ultimate foreplay session before you climb into bed.
