Sex Positions

In an intimate and emotionally open sexual relationship, the role of more dominant and more submissive partner may alternate between the man and the woman.

Each partner can be comfortable with whatever a particular sexual position demands of them. For example, during man on top sex the woman is not so much passive as receptive, opening up to her man while he's in a position that seems to imply the more dominant or more "active" role.

By contrast, woman on top sex suggests that the woman takes over the role of the more active partner; she is literally "on top" and in control of the rhythm and pace of the couple's sexual activity. And, just as the woman's movements are somewhat limited when her partner is in the man on top position, so his movements are more limited when she is riding high!

Side by side sex tends to be more equal - it looks and feels like an act of mutual love and respect, where communication and intimacy between two people is reflected in long, slow lovemaking, albeit with deep penetration and powerful orgasms.

Celebrating 12 Great Years!

I'm very happy indeed tell you that this site has now passed its 12th anniversary on the Internet! This makes it one of the longest established sex positions sites – and hopefully also, one of the most useful! When I started the site there was a complete lack of any good information on sex positions, male sexuality, female sexuality, and sexual techniques on the Internet.

The few of us who were around in those days got hundreds of e-mails every year from people who wanted to know about sex positions and sex techniques. Over the years, I've seen the queries from Europe and America slowly decrease as the quantity of information available about sex positions has increased, but interestingly enough there has been an increase in questions from places like India and South America, where the advent of the Internet has clearly opened up new levels of interest and frankness about lovemaking and sex positions.

There's so much information on this site now about sex positions, the disadvantages and advantages of each of them, suggestions about which sex positions are best for deep penetration or men with large endowment, getting pregnant or having better orgasms, introducing new excitement or enjoying relaxing sex – and in fact, just about any other thing that you can imagine sex being used for – that it's about time we reorganized the site and regrouped our material.

So watch out for exciting developments in the months ahead as I and my team reorganize our material on sex positions and seek to serve you better by giving you the information you've asked for on the different lovemaking positions and when you might use them!

If you're interested in working out exactly which positions ought to be best sex for you and your partner, there's an amusing new site you might like to have a look at called Make Love With Passion - this offers a sex positions quiz, the object of which is to choose the best sex positions!

On another subject entirely, if you want the hottest most intense sex imaginable, you've got to remember that even the best sexual techniques in the world aren't worth anything if your partner isn't aroused. It can be a problem for men to understand how important foreplay is, when their position is usually just about having rampant sex as quickly as possible. It's hard for a woman to think they managed just interested in getting her into bed with display of affection. She might go along with that, but she's not likely to be very enthusiastic next time. So: here's some information for men on how to make a woman orgasm. And should you be having trouble in the orgasm and ejaculation department yourself, most likely you have delayed ejaculation. You can see how to cure it on that link.

Enjoying good foreplay is actually really important, and when you've enjoyed sex with an enthusiastic and aroused partner, you'll understand why. Foreplay is the thing that really gets sex going – and if you think that's only true for women, try stimulating yourself to the edge of orgasm several times over a period of about 20 minutes while you make love (or even while you're watching porn) before you finally allow yourself to ejaculate. You might just be astonished by how powerful your orgasm is! What this amounts to is that foreplay is fun, easy, and the best valued the great sex – regardless of the sex position you use when you get down to the main event.
