11 Sex Positions Pretty Much Guaranteed to Help You Orgasm

Sure, wild, crazy, never-knew-my-body-could-bend-that-way sex might keep your love life exciting, but if your goal is to really learn what works for you, keeping it simple to start is key. "Trying to accomplish complicated acrobatics distracts you from the sex itself, putting your focus on how you can contort yourself, rather than on just experiencing the sensations," explains sex educator Dorian Solot, co-author of I (Heart) Female Orgasm. "When you want to climax, the simplest positions are often also the best positions." To help you get there, here are eleven sex positions recommended by experts to make sure your orgasm is the main event.

1. The Eagle

Why's the classic oral pose so damn good? “It's a relaxed position for the person receiving pleasure, allowing them to lay back and focus on the sensations,” say Jiz Lee, adult film performer, who knows of such things. “With feet grounded, they can tilt the pelvis or lift their legs to change things up. I recommend folding a pillow under the hips to reduce the angle required of the giver's neck. It can also allow for eye-contact between partners.” Lee also recommend a sex wedge pillow for better angling or switching up the position with giver kneeling on the floor by the bed, receiver lying with hips at the edge, feet over their partner's shoulders. 

2. Cowgirl Style

Sex therapist Dr. Susan Block is all-in with woman on top, because you can stimulate your clitoris without losing momentum. “Rather than laying there wondering when he’s going to thrust in perfect time with your erotic needs, you can set the rhythm and take him in as deep or as shallow as you like. Or, if you prefer, stay perfectly still (you can do it—you’re on top!) and tantalize both of you by squeezing and releasing your Kegel muscles,” says Block. “You can bend over, give him a kiss and rub your chest against his or sit up and let him have a good look at your gorgeous self, maybe play with your boobs... or reach behind you to squeeze or spank your bottom. Really, the possibilities are endless.”

3. Pushin’ The Cushion

Get on your knees in front of the couch and drape your torso over the cushions in a sort of modified doggy where you're kinda humping the couch as well. “The key here is to press your vulva against a throw pillow that in turn is pressed against a high-powered vibe against the couch. And I mean turn that Hitachi Magic Wand all the way up,” recommends/commands Trisha Borowicz, orgasm equality blogger and director of Science Sex and the Ladies. “Your partner should allow you to get consistent pressure and grinding against the vibrating pillow while he moves inside you so you have the clit stimulation you need in order to orgasm. Don't be shy about telling him exactly how to accomplish that. Also, maybe don't use the nice throw pillow.”
