Spring is all about new beginnings, freshening up your space, and the sunshine’s highly anticipated return. Take advantage of the warmer weather and those conveniently removable sundresses with these spring sex positions that are fresh as a godd*mn daisy.
“The hottest sex positions are sometimes the most simple!” says Angie Rowntree, founder and director of Sssh.com, a site for sex-positive, ethical porn made from a woman's point of view. “The simple things like skin-to-skin contact, eye contact, ability to freely kiss, lick, touch or toy each other—that’s what ultimately sets off the fireworks…or ‘April showers’ perhaps, if you squirt.”
Take advantage of the fresh start vibes and apply them to your sex life. “Spring is the perfect time to start planning sexual experiences and encouraging them into fruition,” says sexologist Marla Renee Stewart, MA, sexpert for Lovers sexual wellness brand and retailer. “Do a spring cleaning and get those cobwebs off your genitals." (Note: If you have actual cobwebs, go to the doctor.) Figure out what you’d like to have happen in your sex life and dive right in.
And if what you want is a spring fling/hookup situation, regular sex rules still apply. “It’s always good practice to be intentional and frank about your pleasure: Speak up about what feels good/how you want to feel, always make sure you’re both on the same page before hooking up, and respect boundaries so everyone has a great time,” says Rowntree.
Welcome spring with some (or, hell, all) of these spring sex positions to really help you celebrate.
The Breakfast Spoon
“Skip brunch and go straight to the spoon,” says Rowntree. “It’s perfect for those lazy mornings in bed where you can’t help but want another round of what kept you up all night. You can enjoy plenty of depth of penetration—and mix up your touch with some toys too. Or, if you’re feeling extra hedonistic, feed your partner grapes or strawberries as you hold them and make it a real breakfast in bed.”

The Kitchen Table
If simple is not your jam, bust out the kitchen table. “It’s a great position for the spring, especially if you're in warmer climates,” says Stewart. “It allows the person on top to get oral pleasure and allows the person on the bottom to be in a relaxing position.” Complete the kitchen theme with flavored lube.

Have At It
For an easy and ~extremely~ satisfying penetrative position, the receiver lies flat on their stomach and the giver comes in from behind. “This position has definite appeal for partners who might be (or just want to feel) submissive as they are penetrated—and it’s hot and feral for everyone,” says Rowntree. “If you prefer, you can also change this position up by placing a pillow under your hips to help direct the angle and depth of penetration.” If you’re a humper, put a vibrator under your vulva and have your way with it.

The Wet Dog
“Try doggy style in the shower after you've been outside over the course of a hot day and want to cool off,” says Weiss. This one’s pretty easy to execute. Just like you would in regular doggy, the receiving partner stands up in the shower and leans against the wall with their knees slightly bent, while the penetrating partner enters them from behind. If you’re the penetrating partner, Weiss suggests reaching around to play with your partner’s clit or nipples. Pro tip: Use silicone lube for shower sex so it lasts without washing away in two seconds. Contrary to popular belief: Sex in water does not equal more lubrication!

The Watch Dog
If you’re into the more ~risqué~, try another version of standing doggy: against a window. “Enjoy the beautiful scenery outside while using the windowsill to support you while indulging your exhibitionist side,” says Weiss. “Both people get a nice view of some sort!” If you want more stimulation, a vibrating penis ring is a great add. (FWIW, this is not a first-floor apartment rec.)

The Black Bee
Weiss recommends borrowing this Kama Sutra classic. “The penetrating partner is in a half-seated, half-lying-down position (their torso is at a 45-degree angle to the bed, so yes, implement some pillows or a headboard to support your back), the receiving partner squats on top of them with their feet on the bed in front of them, and they move their hips in a circular position,” says Weiss. It’s a very athletic position, so if you’re the one on top and need some motivation, hand your partner a wand vibrator to use on you.

The Tame Your Lion
Tame or be tamed with a sexy variant on the cat-cow yoga position. “One partner gets on all fours arching their back up into a cat-curl yoga position. The other partner approaches from behind, wrapping a scarf, tie, pillowcase, or any other long piece of cloth around their lover’s waist. They can pull them close and control the rhythm as they tame their lion,” says resident sexologist at Astroglide, Jess O’Reilly, PhD. Purring/roaring optional
The Ice Cream Sundae
Give your partner a taste of you by straddling them and offering yourself for a sampling. “Lean your head onto either side of theirs, giving them access to your neck for kissing, licking, and more,” says Casey Tanner, certified sex therapist and sexpert for Lelo. “Their hands are free to explore your hips, chest, clitoris, and other erogenous zones, even while having penetrative sex from this position.” Want to add toys? If your partner has a vulva, try a vibrating strapless strap-on. Penis? Try a vibrating cock ring.

The Spring Surprise
Flirt with a little danger by sneaking outside at night. “The balcony offers the perfect balance of both privacy and risk; you can always slip inside if you feel there may be eyes on you, but if you keep the lights and volume down low, no one will be the wiser,” O’Reilly says. “Lie down on a towel or mat so that no one can see what you’re up to.” A face-to-face position allows eye contact and the ability to signal if you suddenly need to bail. (Friendly reminder: Stay on your own property, please!)
The Pool(ish) Sex
If you dig the idea of pool sex but not the bits about possible waterborne weirdness getting inside you, just get next to the pool. One of you sits at the edge with your legs draped into the water, and the other is in the pool, conveniently located for all things oral.
The Hedge Clippers
If you want deep penetration and a variety of stimulation, lie on your back with your hips at the edge of the bed and your legs straight up. Your partner enters standing at the edge of the bed (use pillows to get your hips at penis/strap-on height). They then hold your ankles to open and close your legs, either thrust by thrust or more of a freestyle rhythm. Use your hand or a toy on your clit, too

The Easy Up
Your partner sits cross-legged, leaning back on their hands. You get on your knees and straddle them. Hold on to their shoulders and ride away. It has the usual advantages of being on top (more control, looking sexy as hell) but is a little easier because you have shoulders to hold on to. This works with a strap-on or penis, or you can use a flexible double-headed vibrator.

The Sexed-Up Bridge
The bridge position from yoga is way more interesting if you add sex. To get there: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet on the mattress. Raise just your hips, keeping your shoulders on the bed. From here, your partner can kneel for penetration (just make sure they’re not too rigorous so you don’t get hurt) or they can sit under your legs, put your legs over their shoulders, and commence kissing your clit.
The Sex on the Beach
No beach and no pool? Get yourself an inflatable pool and have at it. You can squirt lube, bodily fluids, whatever you want all over the place—just dump and clean after. Top recommendation: Get a waterproof vibrator. Hand it to your partner and lean back.
