Most Popular Sex Positions: Benefits & Orgasm Rating

Recent research has found that doggy style is the most searched-for sex position. Google data from 47 countries spilt the tea. An average of 820,000 searches per month - wowzers! - tells the truth. It seems we all love a bit of doggy!

Read on for the five most popular sex positions, according to the sexy survey.

Doggy Style Sex

Doggy style is a firm favourite with many couples.

Women & vulva-owning partners receive intense G-spot stimulation as the dildo or penis rhythmically strokes in & out. Feeling submissive can be an immense turn-on if you are a little - or a lot - kinky. The feeling of taking control is a huge boost for the giver, and the view is a fantastic bonus! 

Switch up the doggy style by playfully spanking the receiver’s bum or gently inserting a lubed-up finger into their butt for double penetration. 

Orgasm Rating: Doggy style is hot if you love deep penetration, but it can be tricky to orgasm if you need a lot of clitoral stimulation. 

Missionary Sex Position

Many diss the missionary sex position as ‘dull,' but we disagree. With a couple of easy moves, this could be your new go-to favourite sex position! 

Ask your partner to position themselves so they can rest their pubic bone against yours. This small change delivers pressure in the right area for many of us. By rocking your pelvises together (rather than in & out thrusting), the chances of orgasm are much higher.

Add a bit of kink to your missionary with another easy switch-up. The giver places most of their weight on the receiver while holding their wrists firmly above their head. All you can do now is lie back and let the pleasure wash over you...

Orgasm Rating: The orgasm rating is high with this one, but we recommend adding a We-Vibe Sync Lite couples vibrator for a 10/10. The slimmer arm of this couple's vibrator rests against the G-spot, and the external one snuggles against the clitoris. A penis or dildo fits in simultaneously, and you both rock & roll with the added benefit of thrilling vibrations in places where it counts!

Cowgirl Position

Around 75% of women & vulva owners need clitoral stimulation to orgasm. This is where the cowgirl position comes into its own: If you have a vulva and a clitoris, cowgirl lets you grind, rub and ride as much as you want!

Our top tip is to set a slow pace, especially if you want to orgasm. Mix it up with lots of eye contact, kissing and touching. If you need a rest, sit still for a while, using your internal muscles to squeeze & release around the penis or dildo. This keeps the simulation going for them while you get a breather... Tried and tested, babes! 

Orgasm Rating: This sex position has a high chance of orgasm if you get the pressure on your clit right. To boost your chances, try adding a small cock ring to the base of the penis or dildo. Grinding against the vibrations ramps up the potential of a thundering climax. And, of course, if you choose a cockring with a remote control, you take full charge of the pleasure!  

Reverse Cowgirl

Reverse cowgirl is big on visuals for the receiving partner. Getting to lie back and watch you work and twerk your butt is hot! 

Being on top allows you to choose the speed, the depth and how you move. Riding, grinding, bouncing - it’s all up to you, and you get to show off! The position is sexy and feels great for both, but it might be tricky if you need clitoral stimulation to orgasm. But - as always - we have a tip!

If your knees need a break, lean back so you are lying on top of your partner (or leaning on your arms) with your legs stretched out alongside theirs. From here, they’ll be able to wrap their arms around you and provide clitoral stimulation. A clit vibrator is handy here - it can easily be held against your vulva while your partner thrusts into you from below. 

Orgasm Rating: Tricky But Worth It!

Sex Position: 69

Oral sex is one of the most reliable ways to orgasm, so it makes sense that 69 is a huge favourite with many couples. You can tease and thrill and get your hands involved... 

A 69 is a deliciously slow position, one to be savoured. You get up-close access to your partner's bits, and you can take the time to edge them close to orgasm - before slowing the stimulation down again.

If kneeling over your partner's face is too hard for your knees, moving into a gentler version of 69 makes a difference. By laying on your sides and nestling against each other, you can still give & receive pleasure simultaneously. If your jaw or neck needs a break, use a small finger vibe to tease for a while. 

Orgasm Rating: High!
