The best positions for deep penetration
How deep is your love?
Penetration depth is kind of a Goldilocks issue — too deep and it's like they're challenging your cervix to a boxing match, too shallow and it's just kinda "meh." But when you can figure out ways to get it just right — deep penetration can be so, so good. Luckily, we're here with some positions to help you do just that. These positions are great if your partner has a penis on the larger side, or if you're using an extra daring strap-on.
Deep Impact
For a whole new way of experiencing each other, get on your side, lift a leg up, and have them straddle your leg, entering from a kneeling position.
They may find spots you didn't know you had, and if they don't, squirt a little dollop of lube on their fingers so they can cup their hand over your clit, giving you a long smooth rub with every thrust.
If your partner happens to be a man with a bit of a bend to his penis, this is a great way to embrace his curves.
The Wheelbarrow
Give the wheelbarrow a try if you are up for a challenge and strong as hell. It's like the primary-school wheelbarrow game, but naked.
Assume the position, with your arms straight out to the floor, holding your weight (I told you this was hard) while your partner holds up your legs and enters standing from behind.
If things get too crazy, or you just can't hold yourself up, lie facedown with your hips at the edge of the bed and let them lift up your legs to get you to dick-height.
Best rec with this is trying the first version, just to have done it, but finishing in the second way, so you can give relax and give yourself some clit love.
Rolling in the Deep
If you haven't already discovered this way to take missionary much, much deeper, give this tweak a try.
Put a pillow under your bum to raise your hips up and wrap your legs over their shoulders. This is pretty damn glorious on its own, but if they hold onto your legs and pushes them back toward your head (only slightly, you're not made of rubber here), they will hit places deep on the top of your vaginal wall (sorry, there is no decent synonym for "top of your vaginal wall") which can feel so amazing.

Bitilasana, Baby
Bitilasna (aka The Cow position in yoga, but don't think of that in class 'cause it will ruin everything) is surest way to get Tab A waaaaay into Slot B.
Get on all fours doggy-style but really exaggerate the arch of your back so your hips are tipped up enticingly.
Get an even deeper feel by pushing your body back with your hands to take them in further or rotate your hips to play with the angle.
The Extra Mile
Another fun (and I do mean *~fun~*) way to play with depth is throwing yourself over the arm of a couch and angling your hips up even higher.
If your partner is on the smaller side, has some erection issues, or you just want to go really deep once in awhile, there are silicone penis extenders that they can slide over what they've already got going on to add some depth and width.
