Mix up your moves between grinding and thrusting. 2. Face OffSit on the bed and let your lover lower herself on your lap so you’re sitting face to face. 3. Missionary with a PillowLay her on her back with her legs open and put two pillows under her butt. The extra lift will make entering her easier and will give her much-needed G-spot and clitoral stimulation.4. The Eagle PositionThe Eagle Sex Position is a missionary pose where one partner lies on their back with their legs spread apart, or “spread eagle.”Lifting her legs up narrows her vagina and allows you to plunge incredibly deep.5. Sex From BehindJust as the name says, have your lover lay belly down, legs closed, and enter her From Behind.6. ScissorsInstead of laying on your sides like you would in the classic spoon pose, put her on her back and spread her legs. Slide in from the side with your legs between hers.This position is amazing for weekend sex or when you’re just feeling lazy. It’s also and easy pose to use a vibrator on her clit. 7. Doggy StyleIt’s the most popular sex position in the world, for a reason.
