Many women enjoy specific sex positions that allow for intimacy, comfort, variety of sensation, and direct stimulation of erogenous zones. Many women’s favourites are the Lotus, Cowgirl, Spoon, and doggy-style variations, which frequently appear in polls and expert advice about female pleasure.
Intimate & Sensual Positions
Lotus:
This position involves sitting face-to-face, with one partner straddling the other’s lap, usually while both are seated. This maximizes intimacy, facilitates deep kissing, maintains eye contact, and allows for manual or toy clitoral stimulation
Seesaw (modified Lotus):
By having the penetrating partner sit with the receiving partner rocking or grinding while facing them, women can adjust angles for better G-spot stimulation and clitoral contact
Woman-on-Top & Control Positions
Cowgirl:
The woman on top position lets the receiver control depth, pace, and pressure. This makes it easier to find pleasurable angles and allows for combining clitoral and internal stimulation.
Reverse Cowgirl:
Facing away from the partner, this variation offers visual and sensory novelty, putting women in control, which many describe as empowering and pleasurable.
Comfort-Oriented & Relaxed Positions
Spooning:
Both partners lie on their sides, with the receiving partner’s back to the other. This position is cozy, promotes clitoral stimulation with free hands, and can feel especially safe and nurturing.
Flat Doggie Style:
Lying flat with pillows under the hips allows for deep penetration and closeness, as both partners can maintain contact and embrace, while the angle can hit the G-spot.
Deep Penetration & Stimulation
Woman-on-back, legs up/held:
Raising the receiver’s legs over the partner’s shoulders opens access for deep thrusting and can dramatically stimulate the G-spot. Dropping one leg creates access for clitoral stimulation.
Doggy Style (and variations):
This position provides deep penetration and hands can freely stimulate the clitoris or use toys, but some modifications like “flat doggie” increase comfort and skin contact.
