When it comes to getting down and dirty, there are so many different positions to try — and it seems everyone has their own personal favourite (with some regularly topping the most-loved list, *cough* doggy style *cough*). Whether you’re dabbling in casual hook-ups or in a long-term partnership, it’s always fun to read about what other women would deem to be their favourite sexual position.
There’s also something reassuring about other real women sharing what actually works for them — as opposed to the polished (often unrealistic portrayals TBH) examples of sex we see in TV shows and films.
Preferences can come down to everything from comfort and confidence to connection and control, and what feels good can shift depending on your mood, your partner, or even just the kind of day you’ve had. In other words, there’s no ‘right’ answer to the question, ‘What is a woman’s favourite sexual position?’, there’s only what feels right for you.
So, whether you’re looking to switch things up, get inspired, or simply feel a little less alone in your go-to choice, hearing directly from other women can be both eye-opening and affirming.
15 women on their favourite sex position
- “Missionary. I get to feel close to my partner, touch them easily, and see their face (sexiest part). It’s comfortable for me and physically feels really good.” [via]
- “When you’re flat on your stomach (or with a pillow under your hips) and he’s behind.
Sort of like doggy but laying yourself down flat!” [via] - “Any position where I can see his face. I enjoy doing different positions because sex is fun and amazing, but I really have a soft spot for the ones where I can see his face and wrap my legs around him. There’s something really sensual and intimate about looking at each other, reading each other’s expressions, and moving together. It’s more intimate than other positions.” [via]
- “Mine is definitely doggy. I feel it’s when boyfriend can be the most dominant and I love the intimacy of it. He always pulls my hair and head back toward him and kisses my back and shoulders from this position. It’s incredibly sexy. Can’t get over it.” [via]
- “It’s a close tie between full-contact missionary (chests pressed together) with my legs wrapped around his waist, and a variation of doggy style where he leans forward over me as he thrusts, so his face is right next to mine. It’s super hot. I also really love doggy style in the shower.” [via]
- “I love getting to watch the emotions on his face and how great he’s feeling from what I’m doing when I’m on top. Plus his hands are free to touch me wherever. It’s the best.” [via]
- “Doggy for sure. Something about the way a man’s hands grasping my hips while going in and out drives me crazy.” [via]
- “Missionary is actually too underrated imo, I don’t get why it has gotten a ‘boring’ rep. It’s very comfortable, you get to look at your partner’s face/eyes and their body, play with other parts and kiss. It’s great.” [via]
- “I love cowgirl... but one of my favourite positions is when I sit in his lap and we kind of hold each other as if we’re embracing. It feels amazing, plus we get that intimacy of being close to each other while fucking.” [via]
- “Best for me is when I’m flipped over laying on my stomach, and he’s getting me from behind. This way I always get off. It’s the best.” [via]
- “Missionary is my favourite, followed by cowgirl. I love being face to face with my partner, and I enjoy romantic, intimate sex. Not into anything wild or crazy.” [via]
- “I like being bent over objects, either kneeling or standing. This doesn’t really have to do with being dominated, I just enjoy the angle and feeling the person pushing their body against mine while thrusting. Other than that, I really enjoy being tied to the bed on my back. This way, there’s no tension on my legs or other limbs and when I orgasm, it reaches through my entire body.” [via]
- “Doggy style, for sure. He hits all my sweet spots, he’s able to get aggressive, I’m able to get aggressive, I’ve got a hand for my clit — it leaves me pretty happy. I also love missionary, not necessarily because I can orgasm from it, but because he loves it — and I love being able to have that effect on my man.” [via]
- “On the table, leaning back. Hits the clit and the G-spot at the same time. Incredible high.” [via]
- “Missionary. I like the intimacy and eye contact. But I also would not want to only ever do missionary.” [via]
