Side-by-side positions

In the side-by-side position partners have sex lying on their sides usually facing each other, but other alternatives are possible. Couples usually do not start off in this position, because it is less convenient for a man to penetrate woman in the side-by-side position. Couples can arrive at this position by rolling over from man or woman on top. Side-by-side position is considered to be one of the most restful ones, when lovemaking is gentle and slow. Either deep or energetic thrusting is quite difficult when a couple is side by side and many young couples do not like the side-by-side position for that reason.

At the same time, none of the partners have to bear the other's weight in this position, and a couple can achieve a very sensuous close body contact. It is possible to use thigh friction to give the penis and vagina extra stimulation, and the partners' hands are free to caress each other's back and genitals. A face-to-face variation of this position allows a couple to kiss.

In a "Spoon" position a couple lies face-to-face and neither partner's legs are spread out. This position won't allow you for very much activity, thus you can relax and enjoy each other's closeness lovingly caressing each other's back. You can arrive at the "Scissors" position most easily from a man-on-top position by simply rolling to your side. In this position partners face each other and the woman's legs are spread out and wrapped around the partner. In this position the woman's leg which is beneath the man will feel his body weight, which he should realize and therefore do not stay in this position for too long.

Another variation of the side-by-side position called "Upper scissors" is the same face-to-face position, but the woman has her one leg between his and the other wrapped around his back. This position allows the couple to vary the depth of penetration and there will be less body pressure on her. He will find this position enjoyable because it reminds rear entry position a bit. In side-by-side positions both partners can reposition legs quite often, thus altering the angle and depth of penetration.

In "Reverse scissors" the man wraps his leg around a woman. This position would allow you only very shallow penetration, but can be fun just for changing roles.

One of the most caressing and sensuous positions is a rear entry side-by-side position, when both partners lie on their sides and the man penetrates the woman from behind wrapping her body around with his body. This position is extremely comfortable and intimate, yet none of the partners will be strained by the body weight. She will find herself very protected and safe in this position. However, it is perfect only for slow lovemaking, so be gentle.

Although the man won't be able to make comfortable fast thrusting in most side-by-side positions, he will be able to control the depth and frequency of thrusting easily, because he is supported on one side. A better lover has to remember that a woman loves to play and to be played with, which makes such side-by-side positions ideal for a little play. And play with her whole body - back, buttocks, clit, arms, breast, lips and neck.

Be careful to avoid fast and shallow thrusting in the side-by-side position, which most women will find rather funny. There are other positions around for energetic thrusting, the side-by-side positions are meant for gentle and relaxing lovemaking.

All in all, side-by-side position is very good for slow and gentle lovemaking, for people who need to avoid strenuous activity or are simply tired and want to relax. It is also a good position during pregnancy because the woman's belly gets in the way less than in the man-on-top position.

Sitting positions

Sitting positions all in all are variations of the five basic positions described above, although rear entry is the most common type.

In "Leaning apart" position the man sits down and leans back on his hands. His legs are slightly spread out. The woman then sits on his penis facing him her legs being spread out past his body. She also leans back and supports her weight with hands. Such a position allows the partners to move quite easily, although the woman dominates the rhythm in this position.

"Sitting astride" is a position when he sits down and she sits in his lap on his penis facing him and hugs him with her whole body. The movements of both partners in this position are very limited, and none of the partners is likely to reach orgasm in such a manner. This is a hugging position, which allows showing your affection for your beloved person.

Standing positions

Standing positions are among the most aggressive sexual positions for men usually do not last very long in them, but highly enjoy them. The most common standing position is rear entry position with woman leaning forward and supporting herself with hands on some fixed object. The ease of the position depends on the relative height difference of the partners, the woman may have to wear high heels or the man may have to find some height-increasing base. The secret of this position is that both partners have to find a convenient position so that both feel comfortable and do not tense, for example, due to standing on one's toes.

Face-to-face standing position is generally not recommended, for the penetration angle of penis is very low.
