8 Make Out Sex Positions for Extra-Intimate Face Time

Remember how insanely sexy your first make out sessions with your partner were? The ones where you were desperately pressing against each other, hot with wanting, discovering exactly what to do with your tongue? Even if you’ve been together for a while now, you can still harness that knee-weakening swoony energy of the early days with these make out sex positions.

“Making out has to be one of the most underrated activities among adults—and that’s unfortunate because it certainly isn’t just for hormonal college party days,” says Angie Rowntree, founder and director of the award-winning ethical-porn site, Sssh.com

Plus, kissing isn’t just sexy—it does all kinds of magic biological stuff too, like determining compatibility and releasing feel-good hormones that can bring you closer. “A kiss can unleash a torrent of arousal and anticipation, not to mention the endorphins that are a vital aspect of our sexual responsiveness,” says Rowntree.

A good kisser can also help turn you on quicker, aka: consider it the ultimate foreplay. “People are not lightbulbs who get turned on by flipping a switch, and benefit from building arousal, as only making out can do. Instead of trying for instant results, making out allows your ‘light’ to gradually emerge and shine as your body and mind get in sync,” she says.
A make out sesh can also get you to slow down and appreciate what’s happening between you, which can help with arousal. “There’s also a time and place for the fast and furious quickie—but for most women, the time spent getting aroused (and thus properly lubricated) is definitely time well-spent,” she says.
