While there are many factors that come in to play when talking about lasting longer in bed, one key dynamic is the sex positions you can use to help keep the fun going.
We’ve rounded up the best science-based sex positions that can help keep both partners satisfied.
In the past, there hasn’t been much research on specific sexual positions. But in recent years, studies have come to some interesting conclusions.
A research article published in the National Library of Medicine reviewed the techniques women use to make vaginal penetration more pleasurable.
The researchers concluded that the main way women made sex more pleasurable was through bending.
This technique involves lowering, raising, or wheel your pelvis or hips during penetration to adjust where the penis or sex toy rubs against your vagina. In other words, it’s more pleasurable when she’s in control.
The second main way women enjoy sex is through shallow penetration. Shallow penetration involves rubbing just inside the entrance to the vagina, but not too deep or on the outside.
Another study also analyzed the frequency and enjoyment of certain positions. Although men and women didn’t differ in the positions they frequently used, there was a clear difference in the degree of enjoyment.
Women were more likely to have orgasms in face-to-face positions with the woman on top or sitting face-to-face.
All of these positions meet at least one of the criteria we mentioned above. These are the best sex positions for mind-blowing, orgasm-inducing fun.
The best sex positions for a new fun pleasure
1. El Yab-Yum

This position also allows for greater control in determining the angle and pace of penetration.
2. Cowgirl
How to do it: To perform this position, the penetrating partner must lie on their back. This allows the partner to mount the woman, straddle her hips, and be penetrated from an decent position.

Why it feels good: Short strokes target the G-spot, so it’s very pleasurable for the receiving partner.
Concentrate on moving your hips against her buttocks and, at the same time, try to stimulate her clitoris with your fingers.
The strokes available in this sexual position will be very short, avoiding the long wild thrusts that cause most men to experience premature ejaculation.
4. From side to side
How to do it: It’s similar to the spooning position, but partners face each other. Lying face to face, the receiver lifts their free leg and wraps it around the penetrator’s hip. This gives the penetrator’s hips access to the vagina.
Why it feels good: Both partners control the depth of penetration, resulting in an active and passive sex position for both partners.
The penetrating partner gives up some control, allowing you to focus on the sensations while limiting how much you can thrust.

The angles available here are really versatile, and lying on your side can make things less tiring for the penetrating partner.
Additionally, access to the clitoris is easier. Studies have shown that clitoral stimulation during intercourse increases the peril of orgasm.
6. The lazy dog
How to do it: The receiving partner gets on all fours while the penetrating partner kneels and penetrates from behind.
Why it feels good: It’s thought to be good for stimulating the G-spot. It’s also easier for couples who may have back problems.
There isn’t as much clitoral stimulation through penetration alone in this position, but the penetrating partner can still use their hands to intensify the experience.
7. The woman on top
How to do it: Similar to cowgirl, the woman climbs on top of her penetrating partner but lies chest to chest, like in the reverse missionary position.

The receiving partner should then lower themselves into a sitting position on the lap, with the penis being inserted as they do so.

Why it feels good: Without long, intense thrusts, it’s easy for the penetrating partner not to become overstimulated.
The receiving partner will love the frontal action as he rubs her clitoris while filling her vagina completely.

This position is very beneficial for her, as the pillow slightly elevates her pelvis, allowing her to reach her G-spot more effectively.
Positioning and getting used to the pillow may take a minute or two, but everything else is smooth sailing once it’s comfortable and in the right place.
11. Kneel high
How to do it: The receiving partner lies on their back, missionary style, with their legs spread. The penetrator kneels upright, penetrating them missionary style from a perpendicular position.
Why it feels good: The penetrating partner can’t thrust as deeply or as hard from this position because you don’t have the leverage of your hips.
Plus, you have the control and freedom to dial things down if things get ugly.
Plus, the tension required to maintain the kneeling position can distract you from the pleasure enough to delay orgasm.
Maintaining this kneeling position can be tiring. You can delay orgasm, but this position can be difficult to maintain.
