The 20 Rare Sex Positions That You Can Try When Having Fun Together

So, maybe you’ve done the missionary position a lot of times. And it might even be your favorite way to get close to your partner. 

But if you want to try something a bit different, then you might want to give these next positions a test to break the routine.

1. The Socket

If the reverse cowgirl position is your favorite and you want to upgrade it, then the socket is the key to making it more awesome!

Steps

1. Have one partner (the giver) lie down on their back.
2. Next, the receiver can sit on top, but instead of facing the giver's face, they face their feet.
3. The receiver can bend forward and rest their arms on their elbows just like when holding a plank.

Pro Tips

• If you have a vulva, you can easily touch your clit while being with your partner, which can feel really good.
• If you like spanking, this position makes that easy to do, too!

2. Standing Wheelbarrow

This one’s a bit tricky and definitely not for beginners!

Think of it like the yoga downward dog pose, but way hotter. It takes some flexibility and shoulder strength to hold the pose, so don’t worry if you can’t stay there long at first.

Steps

1. The person receiving gets into the downward dog yoga pose: hands and feet on the ground, hips high in the air, forming an upside-down "V".
2. Their feet should be about hip-width apart, and their hands about shoulder-width apart.
3. The giving partner grabs the receiver’s legs just above the knees and wraps them gently around their waist to keep close and steady.

Pro Tips

• Add toys during play, like cock rings, to give the receiver that double (or even more) arousal!
• This position opens up chances for fun things like kissing the lower back, gentle spanking, and whispered dirty talk.

3. Cross Booty

So, the "X" position is a pretty cool choice if you want to feel your partner moving with you. Plus, if you’re the person receiving, you can reach down and give your partner a nice butt or leg massage while they’re moving.

Steps

1. Start in missionary position, with the giver on top to enter the person on the bottom.
2. Then, the giving partner can start to slide to their side. So both bodies will form an "X" position while being connected.
3. You’ll want to find a comfy way to balance and support yourselves.

Pro Tips

• Massage, touch, and enjoy!
• Toss in some nipple cup massagers to keep your partner’s nips always perky while your hands roam.

4. Ballerina

The ballerina might be a bit tricky at first, just like trying a new dance move.

Steps

1. First, stand. And the person receiving lifts one leg up and rests it on the other person’s shoulder. But make sure you hold onto your partner so you don’t lose balance!
2. Then the person giving starts moving in and out, going with the flow, whether it’s vaginal or anal (whatever you’re both comfortable with).

Pro Tips

• If you’re worried about balance, stand near a wall or find something sturdy you can grab.
• Don’t be shy to take little breaks if your legs or muscles get tired.
• Try switching legs now and then for a fresh feeling.

5. Butter Churner

The Butter Churner can take some serious flexibility and strength. But it’s totally worth it, especially if you're looking for something intense.

Steps

1. To begin, the receiver lies on their back.
2. The giver grabs their ankles and gently pushes them toward the receiver’s head, lifting the receiver’s lower back off the bed.
3. Once the receiver is steady and supported, the giver squats and straddles their partner to start thrusting.

Pro Tips

• The giver can control depth and speed easily here, so take advantage of that to find what feels best.
• For added fun, try wearing G-spot vibrators to keep your pearls stimulated while your hands are busy doing other tasks.

6. Jellyfish

The jellyfish position is one of the weirdest and most challenging ones out there. You and your partner need some serious stamina and balance for this one.

Steps

1. The giver starts by kneeling in the middle of the bed. And sit back on their calves and ankles.
2. The receiver then squats down and straddles the giver’s lap.
3. From there, you both start grinding and moving together.

Pro Tips

• This one needs balance, so hold on tight to each other to avoid wobbling!
• The receiver is mostly in control here, so you can move at whatever pace feels good.

7. Shy Type

The shy type is a pretty easy and chill position to try, kind of like cowgirl, but with a little twist. But instead of facing your partner, you just turn your body to the side. ​

Steps

1. The giver lies down on their back, nice and comfy, and after that, the receiver straddles them.
2. But instead of facing forward or backward, turn your body so you’re sideways to your partner.

Pro Tips

• Since you’re sideways, it’s easier to reach around to touch, kiss, or whisper sweet things.
• Tossing an anal vibrator can also give the feeling of double penetration.

8. Bouncing Babe

So if you have one of those gym or fitness balls at home, you should totally try the bouncing babe position.

Steps

1. Set the fitness ball next to something sturdy, like a chair or a wall.
2. The receiver lies face down on the ball, while the giver gets behind and straddles the receiver.
3. Start penetrating, and the ball’s bouncing adds a wild, fun extra to the whole experience.

Pro Tip

• The receiver’s core will get a good workout, so maybe do some abs exercises before trying it!

9. Washing Machine

It’s not super weird, but what makes it stand out is that you’re actually doing it right by your washing machine while it’s running.

Steps

1. Turn your washer on to a high spin cycle so it gets really buzzing.
2. The person receiving leans over the machine while standing.
3. The giving partner stands behind them and starts penetrating.

Pro Tip

• ​Since the washer vibrations add extra sensation, try using a small vibrator or remote-controlled toy to stack the feelings on top!

10. Intersection

Next, the Intersection position is a pretty simple but cool twist on missionary without the complications.

Steps

1. ​The giver lies across the bed, so their head is near the receiver’s feet and their feet point near the receiver’s head.
2. The receiver opens their legs wide, and the giver positions themselves on top of the receiver’s lower leg to start penetrating.
3. The receiver rests their upper leg on the giver’s legs to stay comfy.

Pro Tips

• Putting pillows under your hips or knees can help you find the best angle.
• Keep talking and adjusting.

11. Sofa X

Hey! If you want to try something fun and a little different on your couch, the Sofa X position is definitely worth a shot.

Steps

1. The person receiving lies down on the sofa and their head rests on the armrest. And their hands behind their back and knees slightly bent, so one knee is up while the other rests on the seat.
2. The person giving sits on the backrest of the couch, legs spread apart for good balance.
3. Next, the receiver can place their feet on the armrest near their partner’s head.

Pro Tips

• Try using cushions or pillows to support your lower back or legs for better comfort.
• You can use multi-use toys for added buzz and suction.

12. Sybian

The Sybian position was inspired by the Sybian sex machine. So it's like a motorcycle you ride for pleasure. It’s pretty simple to do and can be awesome for the receiver to take charge.

Steps

1. First, you find a sturdy, padded chair. The giver lies back on it to support themselves with their arms and feet.
2. The receiver climbs on top to sit and ride like you would on a Sybian machine. Since the giver isn’t moving much, the receiver does most of the thrusting and humping.

Pro Tips

• Make sure the stool or chair is solid and steady so no wobbling happens during the fun.
• Add a vibrator, either in your hand or a small wearable one, to boost the sensations.

13. Drop Dead Gorgeous

This next position is where the giver has to be a bit strong so they can lift their partner.

Steps

1. The receiver lies close to the edge of the bed or couch, and lifts their legs straight up toward the ceiling.
2. The giver stands right in front of the receiver, gently grabbing their legs and placing them on their shoulders.
3. Then, the giver holds the receiver’s waist and slowly lifts it so only the receiver’s upper back and shoulders are resting on the bed.

Pro Tips

• This position is super intimate because you’re so close looking at each other, so enjoy the eye contact and those moments of connection.

14. Banana Split

If you’re feeling adventurous and want to try a really fun but challenging position, this one is a must-try!

Steps

1. First, the receiver can lie on their stomach with legs spread apart.
2. The giver can penetrate them from behind, spreading their legs further.

Pro Tips

• Warm up your body first, especially your arms and core, so you don’t hurt yourself.
• If full handstands aren’t your thing, try a modified version by leaning on a wall for support

15. Rock Stand

Want to try something seriously cool and a bit crazy? ​

Steps

1. The giver gets into an upside-down handstand against a wall.
2. The receiver bends over in front of the giver and spreads their legs a little for better access.
3. Once you’re both in position, the receiver glides their vagina or anus onto the giver’s hard-on, and the fun begins.

Pro Tips

• You can use a yoga mat or soft rug for extra cushioning.
• Try adding a penis ring for the giver to wear. So they can have buzzing sensations while upside down.

16. Supergirl

Next one, this is definitely a challenging position that’s all about lifting your partner and thinking "Go up, up, and away!"

Steps

1. The receiver positions themselves in front of the giver, while lying down flat on their stomach.
2. The giver bends their legs slightly, grips the receiver firmly around the waist for solid support.
3. The giver lifts the receiver while supporting their body using their arms..

Pro Tip

• Use pillows under the tummy if there's an emergency or you need to get down quickly.

17. Mermaid

The mermaid position is like the supergirl, but with way more support, so it’s easier but just as sexy.

Steps

1. ​The receiver stands with their back to the giver.
2. The giver wraps their arms around the receiver’s stomach and carefully lifts them up.
3. The receiver bends their elbows so they can lock their hands under the giver’s arms for support.
4. Then, the receiver bends their knees and presses their feet under the giver’s butt to stay secure.

Pro Tips

• This position takes a bit of teamwork, so go slow when lifting and finding your balance.
• Add a couple’s toy if you want to add more flavor while you’re locked together.

18. Stand and Suck

Here comes another upside-down position, but this time, it’s all about full-on oral! Anyone can give it a go as long as they can hold a headstand comfortably.

Steps

1. The receiver does a headstand, then they can bend their arms and elbows next to their head to support themself. 
2. The other partner kneels in front, ready to deliver some steamy oral while their partner rocks that handstand.

Pro Tips

• Make sure both partners are strong enough to support and balance each other.
• The kneeling partner can keep their hands free to lavish attention on other parts of their partner, like the thighs or hips, to heighten the pleasure.

19. Dolphin

If you want something different but still pretty easy, then this next one's for you.

Steps

1. The receiver stands right in front of the giver.
2. Next, they put one leg on the giver’s bent leg for support.
3. The other leg wraps around the giver’s waist, with their foot resting under the giver’s butt.
4. Now you can get into some penetrative fun while staying stable and connected.

Pro Tips

• Use plenty of lube to keep things smooth, especially if you're going for longer sessions.
• Keep communication open to adjust positioning and pressure so it’s comfortable and satisfying for both.

20. Giraffe

Just a heads-up: don’t try this if your back isn’t feeling great or if you’re not super bendy.

Steps

1. The giver stands solid on the floor with legs apart and puts their arms behind their back (yeah, it’s a stretch!).
2. The receiver stands beside the giver, bending into a bridge shape. Think one foot on the ground, the other leg lifted high in the air, and hands on something sturdy for support.
3. The giver can choose to go down for some oral action or start thrusting in and out.

Pro Tips

• It’s for the seriously flexible, so don’t push if it feels uncomfortable. Listen to your body!
• This position can be physically straining, so it's best to ask for consent. Consent can give respect, improve trust between both of you, and help prevent any abuse from happening, as stated by Lorraine Villorejo of Medium.
