Here are 10 fun, sex-on-a-chair positions to try with your partner and spice up your sex life tonight.
10 Sitting Sex Positions to Get the Sparks Flying
Let’s be honest. We are not gymnasts or contortionists who can shape ourselves into pretzels or slinkies. Some of the suggested positions in Kama Sutra books, blogs, and advice are impossible for most regular people.
Too many twists and bends can take away all the fun, and we don’t want that. So here are some sitting sex positions for those who don’t like body-bending contortions, but are still hot as f*ck.
1. The Classic Lap Dance
Position type: Vaginal sex, anal sex, grinding, face-to-face
Main stimulation: C-spot
Auxiliary stimulation: Chest-to-chest, kissing, full-body touch
Who takes the initiative: Top
Position description:
This position is perfect for a slow build-up if you want to heat things up. The top straddles the partner’s lap, facing them. The movement is slow, with teasing grinds, circling, or back and forth with your hips. To make it even more intimate (and hotter), maintain soft eye contact (but not that serial killer stare, please).
2. Lotus
Position type: Vaginal sex, anal sex, face-to-face, hugging
Main stimulation: G-spot and C-spot
Auxiliary stimulation: Full-body contact, deep kissing
Who takes the initiative: Shared
Position description:
According to Woman and Home, the Lotus sex position (also known as yab yum) blends meditation, yoga, and sex. It’s all about building a deeper physical and emotional connection with your partner.
This is unlike the other sex positions where there are lots of intense movements. Like the lap dance, the rhythm in this sex position is slow. The partners sit upright, where their legs wrapped around each other, while they’re hugging each other. For a deeper emotional connection, allow slow, deep thrusts with your partner.
3. Triceratops
Position type: Vaginal sex, anal sex, from behind
Main stimulation: G-spot
Auxiliary stimulation: No
Who takes the initiative: Top
Position description:
In this position, the penetrating partner sits in a chair, leaning back with their legs spread apart. The receiving partner faces away and straddles them, leaning forward, with their hands on the floor or their knees. This is the ideal position if the receiving partner wants to control the pace.
4. Reverse Cowgirl on Chair
Position type: vaginal sex, anal sex, facing away
Main stimulation: G-spot
Auxiliary stimulation: No
Who takes the initiative: Top
Position description:
According to Business Insider, the receiving partner takes control here. They sit facing away from the penetrating partner, straddling their lap. A pro tip: Try varying the speed for a more exciting love session.
5. Side Saddle
Position type: Vaginal sex, anal sex, side facing
Main stimulation: C-spot and G-spot
Auxiliary stimulation: Neck kissing, chest stimulation
Who takes the initiative: Shared
Position description:
In this position, the penetrating partner sits on the chair and turns slightly to the side. The receiving partner straddles one of their thighs. This one’s perfect for foreplay, think rubbing and grinding. For a more intense session, use both hands to explore each other and take it up a notch.
6. Edge of the Seat
Position type: Vaginal sex, anal sex, seated entry
Main stimulation: G-spot
Auxiliary stimulation: No
Who takes the initiative: Top
Position description:
The penetrating partner sits at the edge of the chair, while the receiving partner is in front of them, facing away and straddling their lap. This one is all about deep, seated penetration.
7. The Chair Stand
Position type: Oral
Main stimulation: C-spot, prostate
Auxiliary stimulation: Breasts, neck
Who takes the initiative: Either
Position description:
If you’re in the mood for some oral, the chair stand position is a must-try. One partner sits at the edge of the chair, almost standing, while the other kneels in front (depending on height) to pleasure them. It’s all about that intimate angle.
8. Chair 69
Position type: Oral sex, mutual
Main stimulation: Clitoral, penis, anal
Auxiliary stimulation: No
Who takes the initiative: Shared
Position description:
This position is all about mutual pleasure. The receiving partner lies on their back across the chair, feet planted firmly on the floor, with their head hanging freely over the edge. The top partner bends over, facing the opposite direction. Both partners get a turn at receiving oral, talk about the ultimate pleasure!
9. The Hot Seat
Position type: Vaginal sex, anal sex, power play
Main stimulation: G-spot, prostate
Auxiliary stimulation: Teasing
Who takes the initiative: Top
Position description:
In this power play position, the penetrating partner sits at the edge of the chair with their feet planted on the ground. The receiving partner straddles them, facing away, with penetration from behind. For a more dominant feel, the top can control the rhythm, making things as intense as you like.
10. The Chair Spoon
Position type: Vaginal sex, anal sex, from behind
Main stimulation: G-spot, clitoral, prostrate
Auxiliary stimulation: Breasts, neck
Who takes the initiative: Bottom
Position description:
This sex position is like the classic spooning position, but with a twist. The penetrating partner sits on the chair, and the receiving partner is in front, with their back against the chest of the other.
This is a slower, more intimate position, perfect for when you want things gentle and tender. It’s all about that deep, close connection.
Why Chair Sex Positions Are Worth Trying
Lying and standing positions have their perks, but let’s not forget that sitting sex positions have their own merits. Here’s why you should consider giving them a try:
- Increased intimacy and eye contact
- Perfect for days when you feel tired but still want to be in the mood
- Provides better angles for deeper penetration
- A boost in clitoral stimulation
- Best position for teasing and edging
When you’re sitting, you’re closer to each other, creating a much more intimate experience. Whether you’re face-to-face, with skin-to-skin contact, or getting deep with a new angle, it’s an invitation to connect.
How to Prepare for Chair Sex
Now that you’re all excited about trying these positions, let’s talk prep. You don’t want your passion to come crashing down because your chair broke or you slipped mid-thrust. Here’s how to get ready for a smooth session:
Use a Sturdy Chair
You’re in the mood for some serious action, but a flimsy chair isn’t going to cut it. Check that your chair has a solid build, no wheels, and can handle the weight before getting into it. Safety first.
Clear the Area
There’s nothing worse than stepping on a Lego mid-thrust. Don’t let a mess or clutter kill the mood. Tidy up before things heat up. And for me, nothing is worse than seeing critters during sexy time. A clean space equals a happy vibe.
Use Cushions
The goal here is fun, not pain. Make sure your bones and joints are comfy, too. Place a cushion on hard surfaces, so you’re not sore afterwards. Plus, a cushion can help achieve those perfect angles (wink, wink).
Prepare the Essentials
Lube, sex toys, and maybe a little oil? Have everything ready to go so you’re not scrambling for them when things get hot. And hey, if you’re into kink, a bondage kit or rope can also spice things up. Just be ready, so nothing kills the mood.
Expert Tips to Make Sex-on-a-Chair Positions Even Better
You can make a sitting sex position by doing the following tips:
Communicate
Be open about what you like and dislike. Don’t be shy. Your partner might surprise you by being just as into your desires as you are into theirs. Trust me, this makes things so much hotter.
Be Creative
Sex is fun. Don’t be afraid to play around. If a position isn’t working, tweak it. There’s no need to follow the “rules” if it doesn’t feel right. The goal is pleasure, so get creative.
Start Slow
Take your time to learn each other’s tempo and rhythm. Experiment with different angles and positions, and don’t rush. Sometimes slow is just as hot, if not hotter.
Use Toys
If you’re looking for some extra fun, why not incorporate a toy or two? Something like BeYourLover’s Abe for penetrative action, or the adult clock alarm for a little extra spice. Toys can make everything more exciting.
Pull Up a Chair and Play
So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to chat with your partner and try something new. You don’t need to do the most complex sitting sex positions, but small changes can bring a fresh spark to your routine.
Personally, I always talk things through with my partner. We communicate, make sure we’re both in the mood, and, most importantly, ensure we’re having fun.
Remember, we’re not porn stars who have to look good while contorting our bodies into crazy positions. Not everyone can do those gymnastic moves, and that’s perfectly fine. Sex should always be fun, pressure-free, and all about what feels good for both of you.
