20 Hot Sex You and Your Partner Gotta Try in 2026
Hey, you two, ready to crank up the heat in 2026? These 20 hot sex positions are your ticket to non-stop fun with your partner!
1. Sideways Straddle
Want to mix in some toys while keeping things super sensual and all about your pleasure? The sideways straddle hands you full control right from the start, and it's perfect for you and your partner to play around and build that deep connection.
How to do it:
First, have your partner lie on their back or side, and keep one leg stretched out straight, while bending the other knee up nice and comfy. Straddle that bent leg with your back to them. Boom, you're set!
Pro tips:
Your hands are now free to roam, and the angle's ideal for grinding, bouncing, or swiveling, while add a vibrator or suction toy if that's your jam. Keep it slow and playful, chat about what feels amazing, and experiment till you hit that perfect combo.
2. The Cross
The cross is your go-to for lazy, cozy vibes with a naughty twist. You both prop up on the mattress, no one works too hard, and the angle delivers slow, steady thrills that feel oh-so-good.
How to do it:
Lie on your back. Have your partner relax on their side, perpendicular to you to form a T-shape with your bodies, and after that, just flop your knees comfy on their torso or hip.
Pro tips:
Keep it slow and rhythmic to build heat without rushing, spoon in closer for extra snuggles, whisper what feels best, and let your hands wander their body, and this one's great for lazy mornings when you crave pleasure minus the effort!
3. Standing Fire Hydrant
Love a bit of athletic fun in the bedroom? This next position hits you with a super hot, intense angle and just the right energy boost all at once.
How to do it:
First, the receiver bends over a countertop or sturdy surface and lifts one leg, while the giver steps in from behind, grips the hips or waist for balance, and starts with slow, deliberate thrusts.
Pro tips:
Play with speed and pressure to keep it electric. Hold on tight for stability, and add nipple clamps for a teasing pinch that amps the thrill. Great for quickies with a naughty, semi-public edge.
4. Corkscrew
Craving light, flirty sex that's fun but not acrobatic? The corkscrew totally nails that sweet spot with a fresh, exciting angle that's comfy as heck for both of you.
How to do it:
The receiver just lies there chilling comfortably on their side, all relaxed and ready to go, then the giver kneels or stands beside the bed and slides in from the side for easy entry.
Pro tips:
Shift paces playfully, tease with slow grinds or quick thrusts, and laugh through tweaks. Stay partly curled up for cozy intimacy, whisper sweet nothings, and let hands roam free. Low effort, big rewards!
5. Mutual Masturbation
Feeling bold and ready to own your pleasure? Mutual masturbation is your ultimate power move. It puts you both in control, watching and learning what drives each other wild.
How to do it:
Just sit facing your partner, legs open, and chill. Take turns or go simultaneously, touching yourselves while locking eyes.
Pro tips:
Show off exactly what feels good, then reach over to tease them too. Build tension with that steamy eye contact. Grab an egg vibrator or stroker toy to make it even hotter and share the buzz.
6. Standing O
This position rocks for all kinds of oral magic on the vulva or vagina, just think about clit sucking, rubbing, fingering, or G-spot play, so it's intimate, thrilling, and all about the receiver's pleasure.
How to do it:
First, the giver kneels; after that, the receiver stands upright and drapes one leg over the giver's shoulder. Dive in and enjoy!
Pro tips:
For the receiver, you can try hands above your head for that surrendered vibe, then grab a secure bar or use soft BDSM restraints if you're into it. Giver, mix up tongue flicks and fingers, then add a vibrating cock ring or bullet vibe on the clit for next-level buzz.
7. Waterfall
This one's a rush, as blood flows to the giver's head (and yeah, the other one too) for totally mind-blowing sensations, especially at climax.
How to do it:
The giver sits at the bed's edge, then lies back with head and shoulders hanging off onto the floor, and afterward, the receiver can straddle on top and ride.
Pro tips:
A pillow under the giver's head keeps it safe and comfy, a must-do! Being the receiver, you grind slowly or bounce for control, or add a cock ring at the base for extra throbs, but make sure to take breaks if needed and chat through it.
8. Lazy Man
This position hands all the control to the receiver while keeping things super intimate and close.
How to do it:
Giver chills on the bed, pillows tucked behind for back support, legs stretched out, then the receiver swings a leg over to straddle the giver's waist, feet nice and planted on the bed. Bend knees to lower onto the giver, using one hand to guide. Press on the balls of your feet to bob up and down at your own pace.
Pro tips:
Mix slow grinds with quick bounces for variety, and lean in for eye contact and kisses. Giver, lick those nipples for bonus sparks!
9. Pretzel
Get deep doggy-style penetration face-to-face? It's super comfy, especially if regular doggy bugs your back. This position is perfect for chilling into pure bliss.
How to do it:
To begin, the receiver should lie comfy on their side, and then, the giver kneels and straddles the receiver's left leg. The receiver hooks their right leg around the giver's waist for easy access.
Pro tips:
Giver, use your fingers for extra stimulation or rub the tip on the clit to edge them close. Go gentle around the clit at first, use soft pressure, then build speed, and add a small earpod vibrator for a subtle clit buzz if you want.
10. The Flatiron
This classic creates a super snug fit that amps sensations, all while staying comfy and controlled.
How to do it:
The receiver lies face down, knees bent a bit, hips lifted slightly. You can also tuck a pillow under your lower abs for extra comfort and angle, while the giver enters from behind, holding the weight on their arms.
Pro tips:
Giver, switch to shallow thrusts and deep breaths to last longer. Slather on slippery silicone lube to cut friction and keep going strong. If you're the receiver, rock your hips gently for mutual fun!
11. Ballet Dancer
This erotic move rocks quickies in tight quarters or outdoor sex, with easier penetration and receiver control over thrusting, depth, and angle.
How to do it:
You stand facing one another, so the receiving partner can raise one leg, wrap it around the giver’s buttocks or thigh, and pull the giver in close. Then, the giver steadies things by putting their hands on the hips or the wall.
Pro tips:
If that wrapped leg gets tired, the giver cradles it with their arm. Very flexible? Lift their leg over your shoulder.
12. Iron Chef
This steamy twist on the Ballet Dancer delivers quickie bliss with deep penetration, ideal for kitchen counter fun.
How to do it:
The receiver settles on the kitchen counter (perfect height!). They can raise both legs and wrap them tightly around the giver's butt or thighs. Next, the giver can position themselves between their partner's legs, so they can pull the receiver's hips much closer, and thrust deep.
Pro tips:
The giver can pull the receiver's hips toward to amp the thrusting power (using gentle force, please!).
13. Aquaman's Delight
Perfect for sneaky outdoor quickies by the pool or beach, keeping things discreet from prying eyes while feeling oh-so-naughty.
How to do it:
Another flirty twist on the Ballet Dancer, wade into chest-deep water. The receiver lifts one leg around the giver’s waist (buoyancy makes it effortless). Next, you can shift those swimsuits discreetly (for better access) and rock together for pleasure.
Pro tips:
Lifeguards won't suspect a thing! Water rinses natural lube, so focus on external grinding or use a thick lube.
14. Restroom Attendant
This thrill-ride is your go-to for sneaky party quickies, fast, fun, and full of risky excitement.
How to do it:
Slip into a bathroom together, while the receiver faces the mirror, and bends forward slightly. After the receiver bends forward, the giver slides in from behind for great rear-entry fun, then locks eyes in the mirror for that intense, steamy connection.
Pro tips:
Keep it quiet under the radar! And if the receiver is into dominance play, then the giver can gently pull their partner's hair for that extra edge. Also, add a quiet wearable vibrator for that buzzing buildup.
15. Face Sitter
Cozy comfort for the receiver, pure erotic thrill for the giver. Win-win pleasure time!
How to do it:
Tuck a pillow behind the giver’s head for neck support. The receiver straddles their shoulders, facing forward, and steadies by gripping the headboard or wall. Then, the giver dives in for oral magic while the receiver grinds at their own pace.
Pro tips:
The receiver can rock hips gently for custom bliss. Is the giver's mouth feeling dry? Dab on mint- or fruit-flavored lube for fresh, tingly fun. And extend the vibe with a vibrating wand held by the receiver on their clit.
16. Magic Mountain
Get the Doggy's deep thrust with the Flatiron's snug feel. Perfect for dirty talk!
How to do it:
Use low furniture like an ottoman. Or stack pillows on the bed. The receiver kneels over it and bends at the waist, then the giver kneels behind and enters from behind, so they can press their bodies against each other.
Pro tips:
Slow it down. Skip fast thrusts. Go for steady grinds instead, or add an anal toy on the receiver, but only if they're into anal play.
17. Swiss Ball Blitz
Fun bounce in every thrust is a great way to mix things up!
How to do it:
Grab a stability ball from your workout room. Have the giver sit on it with feet flat on the floor, while the receiver backs up between their legs (facing away). The receiver sits right down on their partner, as they roll their hips and bounce together. Super fun and playful!
Pro tips:
The giver can lean back against a wall for extra steadiness.
18. Hovering Butterfly
This hovering butterfly hands control to the receiver for custom tongue action. Fun, fierce, and orgasm-guaranteed.
How to do it:
The receiver straddles the giver's face with knees framing the ears, gripping a headboard or wall. They can lift or grind down to perfect that tongue placement and pressure. Then, tease the nipples or circle the clit up top while they devour below.
Pro tips:
The giver stays still with tongue out to ride it like your personal throne. The giver can cuff the receiver's hands high if kink's their vibe.
19. The Fusion
This easy leg-up move gets your partner there way quicker, just by using a few simple shifts!
How to do it:
The receiver lifts legs onto the giver's shoulders to boost muscular tension and fast-track your climax. Hoist your butt off the bed for easy thrusting and hip-circle grinds.
Pro tips:
The giver can prop against a headboard or wall and steady the receiver's lower back with their hands. They can also add a vibrating penis ring for clit-tingling vibes.
20. Snow Angel
This last position on the list is all about cheeky fun and deeper feels, because it lets the receiver score a hot, up-close view of the giver's butt while you keep things playful and steamy in bed!
How to do it:
To get in the position, the receiver lies on their back, while the giver straddles facing away. The receiver lifts their legs to wrap them around the giver’s back to elevate the pelvis for entry. They can also grab the giver’s butt to guide up-and-back slides, and add a little massage too!
Pro tips:
Let the giver spin to missionary position while facing the receiver (stay inserted if you can!). Then switch: receiver on top facing away. They can also put a pillow under their hips for easier lifts.
Why an Active Sex Life Rocks
An active sex life goes way beyond baby-making. It's packed with health wins like lower blood pressure, a stronger immune system (hello, fewer sick days!), and better heart health.
It boosts self-esteem, cuts depression and anxiety, ramps up your libido, and delivers instant pain relief.
Sex is a real exercise, burning 5 calories a minute while pumping your heart and balancing hormones like estrogen and testosterone.
Penis owners who cum more often (from sex, solo play, or even wet dreams) have a lower risk of prostate cancer, and for those with vulvas, it keeps things lubricated, boosts blood flow, improves vaginal elasticity, and strengthens pelvic muscles to help avoid incontinence.
As Brian Krans notes on Healthline, the post-orgasm prolactin rush chills you out for deeper sleep, melts away stress, and might even boost fertility.
