ICYMI, oral sex is the best, especially if you can’t orgasm from
penetrative sex alone. Whether you use these positions for
foreplay or ~the main event~, have fun!

the shark fin

Since oral is impossible to pull off underwater, lie back on

a towel with your hips at the edge of the tub. Spread your
legs, letting your feet dangle in the water, and appreciate
what your partner can do with their mouth. If they’re happy
soaking among the warm jets, they can stay down below
for a bit longer. Win-win for everyone.

the butterball

This is a great position not only for cunnilingus but for a

rim job as well. Get yourselves showered up, then the
receiver lies back with their knees bent up toward their
chest. “This position still gives the giving partner easy
access to the receiver’s breasts and clitoris—or with a male
butt, access to the penis and testicles—for stimulation fun,”
says Kenneth Play, sex coach and genius of sex hacks. “If
you want to use a barrier for your rimming but don’t have
a dental dam handy, a quick sex hack is to grab some
plastic wrap to use instead.”

the deep sea diver

Another A+ rim job pose, “it can be a really hot

introduction to take a shower together and start practicing
some rimming while you’re in there,” says Erika Lust, the
feminist erotic filmmaker and all-around badass. “For
beginners, I recommend doing a simple standing position.
The receiver can stand up, holding on to the wall if they
need to, and the other person can crouch down behind
them. I recommend this for people who feel self-conscious
or worry that it’s not hygienic or clean.”

the live show

If your partner is all into Mistress of the Dungeon stuff, you

could have a “take charge” session where you sit them in
a chair, blindfold them, and tell them you’re in control for
the night, not letting them orgasm till you say it’s okay.
Next time, it’s your fantasy.

the saddle straddle

If you’ve got a dominant partner, they will looooove

straddling you as you stroke and suck their beloved penis
that is jutting out right there in front of your face. Try using
both hands, twisting your way up and down their shaft and
licking the area around their head.

the constellation

If oral sex is uncomfortable, try rolling over onto your side.

“This position is awesome for people with spasticity in their
hips, which can make it hard to spread your legs apart for
oral sex. It still gives your partner good access without you
having to be in a position that hurts you,” says Eva
Sweeney, who teaches about sex and disability at
Cripping Up Sex With Eva.

the dam, girl

Let’s talk safety for a sec! Dental dams—rectangles of

protective plastic placed over your vulva during oral sex to
protect mouth from genitals and vice versa—have a side
benefit that lets you go a little dirtier. The receiver gets on
all fours, giver gets behind, drapes the dam over the vulva
and bum hole and commences licking. It’s good, close
access without the whole butt-in-the-face aspect. And if you
want to experiment with a little rimming, well, the dental
dam is like a disposable toilet-seat cover, letting you make
some contact without full-on touching.

the supersize me

When they’re close to having an orgasm (signs: ragged

breathing, balls tightening toward their body, or the
traditional “Oh god, I’m gonna come”), stop briefly
and/or gently tug downward on their balls to cool them
down. Repeat your torturous edging till they beg. Press a
finger or vibrator firmly against their taint as they’re about
to come and behold the results.

the swiper

Have your partner create a little suction with their mouth

over your clit and labia, then shake their head side to side,
in circles, fast or slow. This mimics the way a lot of us
touch ourselves and will get you there quite well. Elevate
your bum on some pillows to give them easy access.

the peace out

Take a seat while your partner places two fingers on either

side of your clit and makes a little scissor motion while
gently licking or sucking the tip of your clitoris. “It kind of
isolates the clitoris from the rest of the body and really
pinpoints that pleasure,” says sex therapist Dr. Susan
Block.

the faux deep throat

Go for the feel of deep throating without the gagging part

by lubing up your hand to take that part of his shaft you
can’t handle. Stroke in harmony with your mouth or work
them in opposite directions. Look up into your partner’s
eyes and moan if you’re feeling it to cause further
wreckage.

the corkscrew

Have your partner stand while you kneel in front of them.

Hold the base of their penis with both hands, take them in
your mouth, and tilt your head slowly from side to side as
you work your way up and down their shaft.

all hail the queen

The key to face-sitting is not actually sitting on their face

unless you want to literally have a killer vagina. Straddle
their head and give yourself a light thigh workout, holding
yourself a couple inches above their face while they go
down on you. They can reach up and hold on to your butt
and hips, because who doesn’t like grabbing a butt?

doggy goes oral

Not only is this a totally hot oral position that puts you in
control of the angle and pressure, it’s also a good segue
into the world of anilingus, if that’s something you’re into.

so-fa so good

Have your partner lie upside down on the couch, with their
back and head on the seat and their legs draped over the
back. Kneel over their face, facing the back of the couch.
Then bend over and 69 away. Much more relaxing than
an awkward, limb-flailing 69 in bed, isn’t it?

the cliff-hanger

Sit on the edge of the bed and lie back with your legs
draped over the edge. When they kneel between your
legs, their head will be angled down toward your vagina,
giving them direct access to your clitoris. This one also
leaves their hands free to play with your nipples or finger
you for double pleasure.
