The Best Sex Positions That Belong in Every Woman’s Repertoire

A person’s sexual preferences are as unique as the person themselves. Some people like to be in control, while others prefer to let their partner take the reins. Others are down for a little bit of both, depending on their mood that night (or day – no judgments here). Some people are happy with one partner, some enjoy several. So whether you’re trying to make a baby, get your partner(s) off, or learn how to have better sex, you can find the best sex positions for any and all needs you may have between the sheets.

While every body, every relationship, and every sexual encounter is bound to be different, there are a couple of things every sexual relationship should have in common: consent and communication. «Research shows that couples who can communicate openly about sex have better sex than those who don’t,» Isiah McKimmie, couples therapist, sexologist, and coach, tells Woman’s Day. «Voicing what you want and like is important.»

It is also helpful to expand your definition of sex from simply penetrative intercourse to any consensual interaction for the purpose of pleasure, sex and relationship coach Ashley Manta says. «Stop focusing so much on penetrative sex as ‘sex,’ and start focusing on what feels good,» she tells Woman’s Day. Removing the pressure you or your partner may feel about climaxing is another thing that could make your sexual activities more enjoyable. «Orgasm is not a benchmark for success. Sometimes it’s elusive, and that’s OK,» Manta explains. «Sex doesn’t have to end just because the penis ejaculates. There are still lots of other avenues (hands, toys, oral, kissing, caressing) to make sure everyone leaves feeling satisfied.»
