The 13 Most Basic Sex Positions, And What Your Favorite Says About You

For The Slightly More Adventurous Types


Sex
 

Doggy

What It Is: Girl kneels on (or stands and bends at the hips) the bed. Guy stands behind her. The end.
Girls who like doggy are the girls who get rings. Why? Because they don’t take things so seriously. Chances are that if you like doggy, you’ve also high fived at least once during sex. You’d drink a beer mid-blow job and you enjoy getting your hair pulled. You’re the girl guys dream of ending up with, and the fact that your favorite position is easy to add a hand (or vibe) to, just proves that you’re a smart lady who knows what she’s doing. Well done, and please invite me to your wedding. I dig an open bar.
Chance Of An Orgasm: 80 percent. If this is your favorite, you know what you’re doing and can most likely get yourself off, whether he’s doing a good job or not.


The Sit And Straddle (AKA Ride Time)

What It Is: Guy sits on the edge of the bed or on a chair. Girl faces him, straddles him, and rides him.
If this is your go-to position, you most likely also enjoy dancing on table tops and wearing heels when everyone else is wearing flats. I’m not saying that the bitch who gravitates towards this is an attention whore, but, actually yeah. That’s what I’m saying. She’s not afraid to give a blow job, and she loves making guys squirm and get excited (read: boners). She’s given a lap dance and yes, she gets off from the sheer idea of turning him on. And for that reason she is, of course, our worst fucking nightmare. If you’re a Sit and Straddle gal, just know all of your friends kind of hate you. But don’t worry, it’s not your fault. You can’t help that you’re such a goddess in the sack.
Chance Of An Orgasm: 60 percent. Because this is the kind of girl guys will actually try to please for at least a few minutes.


Spoons

What It Is: Girl lays on her side. Guy lays on his side behind her, as the big spoon. They bang.
Ah the Spoon girls. What clever, unique creatures. On one hand, they’re lazy AF. The don’t want to actually do work, and they would really prefer to just lay there. That being said, they’re not the basics who are expecting a Prince Charming to gaze into their eyes and make them come. But they also aren’t above a little bit of romance. They feel pretty good about their bodies (because yes, this position isn’t the most flattering), and they know how to manipulate most situations. Like laying down, while a guy screws her, in a position that just begs for extra hand assistance. Well played ladies. Well played.
Chance Of An Orgasm: I’ll give it a sold 50 percent because this position is super easy for guys to reach around.


Cow Girl

What It Is: Guy lays down (hands behind his head optional). Girl sits on top of him, face to face.
There are two types of girls who like this position. Ones who enjoy being in charge of literally everything. And pushovers. Let’s just say you’re the first kind. The plus side of this is that you get to be in control. Which is great, because that’s what you thrive off of. Your planner shows everything you’re doing, by the hour, and you don’t remember the last time you had to actually clean your room because it’s always organized perfectly. You thrive off of leading, and it’s no exception in sex. Plus, as long as you really go for it 100 percent (which you will, because you go for everything 100 percent), you can count it as your cardio. Respect.
Chance Of An Orgasm: 70 percent. As long as you’ve limbered up and have a good lung capacity.
