These Steamy Positions Will Reinvigorate Your Sex Life

Like anything in life, sex drives have their ups and downs. And even someone with the most active sex life can encounter a slump where, let's be real, you just don't feel like it. Even me.

I don't know if it's how hectic my life has felt, how much busier my mind has felt, or if it's just the natural rhythm of me getting older – but I have not really been as lustful or as randy as I've been in the past several years. I'm not biting my lip from a solicited dick pic, and I'm damn sure not eager to bust it open for a real one.

I'm at a place where I'm perfectly content with a quickie with my vibrator and leaving the energy session of a half-hour romp to the left on "Read". Or, at least, I was at that place. Admittedly, along with my slump and lower sex drive, I had become a lot more complacent in how I showed up in the bedroom. Little did I know that that had a lot to do with my newfound feelings about my sex life. As with anything in life, in order to strengthen it and ensure its health, I have to work at it. Recently, I've experimented with some moves that helped remind me how much better sex is when you're present, open, and spice things up a bit. Tried and true is beautiful, but so is new and improved.

The Amazon

The Amazon gives the woman all the power. The standard version features the man on his back with his legs raised in the air, knees bent back towards his chest. The woman then mounts him, crouching over him from above in a kneeling or squatting position (Planted Amazon). It takes a bit of flexibility, but the intensity felt in this position is worth the effort. And the power you feel in this one of a kind Woman On Top position is undeniably exhilarating.

The Lotus

The Lotus is quite possibly one of the most intimate and sensual sex positions a couple can partake in. To achieve the position, the man sits down and crosses his legs, while the woman sits on top of his crossed legs, crossing her own legs tightly behind his back. Wrap your arms around his neck and allow your mate to help you as you find pleasure in this position. The depth of closeness that happens between the couple. Deep kisses are easy, as well as touching and eye contact. The experience itself is tantric.

The Standing Doggy

Doggy anything can be the G-spot-stimulating ride of any woman's dreams, but there's something urgent about standing doggy that makes the move even hotter. And as you know the hotter the move, the easier it is for you to cum. Standing doggy means you can do it anywhere. It can be in the bedroom, the kitchen, or the restroom at your mutual friend's BBQ. Just bend over, anchoring yourself on either a wall, or using your calves, or even the floor. Your partner will enter you from behind. You'll back it up to meet his thrusts. And you can increase the intensity of the pleasure felt by spreading your feet wider apart, or bending your knees slightly to adjust his angle and depth.

The Spider Web

The Spider Web feels like a heightened version of the missionary position. The two of you lie on your sides, face to face. Your legs will go through his, bringing him deeper inside of you upon penetration. The intimacy and the sensuality is still present, but this position offers greater depth and easier access to different body parts during the act. While he gyrates his hips in a slow grind, you can reach down to rub your clit, and he can intensify things even further by playing with your tits.

The Bridge

This is another entry to the list that grants optimal G-spot stimulation. For women who have problems with achieving orgasm, this one's for you. Start by getting into the missionary position, then have your partner kneel in between your legs. Arch your back slightly and have him pull your hips towards his pelvis. There, the both of your pelvises should be leveled. Have him spread his knees wide enough that you can rest your ass on his thighs with ease as he takes you. Get ready for to be in the throes of pleasure as he thrusts inside you, hitting all the right spots.
