Homemade Bloomin’ Onion Ring Dipping Sauce Recipe goes great with Fries, Onion Rings, Hamburgers and even on Chicken Sandwiches.
Better than Bloomin’ Onion Ring Dipping Sauce
My husband makes THE BEST BLOOMIN’ ONION RINGS, ever and the best Onion Ring Sauce. He hasn’t made the Bloomin’ Onions in a while, but he did made the sauce when I had a craving for plain ole onion rings.
I’m sure you have heard the expression “less is more” and in this case, less really is more. It’s so simple really, it’s stupid! ��
Just like with fried chicken, you're going to want to marinate the catfish in buttermilk before dredging and frying. It'll permeate the fish with flavor and make sure it stays nice and juicy after it's fried.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own with milk + lemon juice!
THE DREDGE
As for the dredge, there's a lot of debate about whether you should use flour or cornmeal. We think you should use both! You should also add some garlic powder, paprika, and salt for optimal flavor.
FRYING
You can definitely pan-fry catfish, but for the crispiest (most delicious) results, it's best to deep-fry. Neutral oil, such as vegetable, canola, or peanut, work best. Olive oil has too low of a smoking point and would burn.
Made this? Let us know how it went in the comment section below!
In a large bowl or Ziplock bag, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Add catfish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours.
In a large shallow bowl, whisk to combine cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Remove one catfish fillet from buttermilk mixture and lightly shake to remove excess buttermilk. Dredge in cornmeal mixture and place on a baking sheet or large plate. Repeat until all catfish is dredged.
Fill a large pot or Dutch oven halfway with vegetable oil. Heat over medium until oil reaches 350°, then fry catfish in batches until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Remove to a paper towel–lined plate and season with salt immediately. Serve with hot sauce and lemon slices.

Just about every person in the world likes sex. Hell, if most of us could just skip the whole work thing and spend all of our time in bed every day, we would.
But with a 24/7 sex schedule, variety becomes paramount. Fortunately, there are plenty of different configurations you and your partner can try out. To make them easier to imitate, and to jumpstart your imagination, we've also crafted illustrations of each and every sex position on this list and given you the skinny on just what you can expect from each. Whether you're into slow and steady, fast and furious, or great ways to play orally, you'll find something here to try tonight (and every night going forward).
1. Missionary Sex Positions
Ahhh, Missionary. Traditionally considered the "default sex position", Missionary offers lots of advantages to first-timers and people looking for sex that's more on the vanilla side. However, there are lots of slight variations on it that can amp things up in terms of the pleasure, intensity and kink factor – for both partners. Check out these Missionary-inspired positions:
1. Missionary
Carlee Ranger
The Missionary position (man on top, couple facing each other) is the most famous and classic of all sex positions. The eye contact, the mild male dominance and the angle of penetration make this a popular one, and odds are, the first time you had sex was in a Missionary position. A very comfortable position that allows for easy thrusting, and an easy pull-out if you’re a man, there’s plenty of benefits to it and it’ll work its way into basically any sexual encounter you find yourself in, at some point.
2. Coital Alignment Technique
Carlee Ranger
Another spin on Missionary, the Coital Alignment Technique (C.A.T.), aka the Frog or the Perfect Position, looks to sacrifice elevation and power for proper positioning. Start in regular Missionary, and then flatten your torso as much possible, while your partner should arch her legs and put her legs on your butt. What you're doing here is targeting the clitoris for more direct rubbing and friction. The pressure you put on her clitoris could help her get to orgasm quicker. You should also be staying nice and deep within her in this position, too, to ensure maximum. In other words, it's more for her pleasure than yours.
3. Legs On Shoulders
Carlee Ranger
A classic take on Missionary, this one can either be done with you lying down on top of her, or with her positioned at the edge of the bed and with you in standing (or more accurately leaning in) with her legs on your shoulders as you penetrate her. This position gives the man all of the control of penetration, but it will also allow for deeper penetration, so it’s a win-win. You may need to grasp her legs and pull in gently to prevent your thrusting from pushing her away from you.
4. The Pancake
Carlee Ranger
A more extreme variant of the Legs On Shoulders position, this one really puts you in the driver's seat. Start with your torso more or less vertical and her legs on your shoulders. Descend slowly until you're basically folding her in half. For more leverage, you can reach around her back with your arms and pull her tightly against you. This one is very intimate, but it also gives her very little mobility, so it's basically you who is 100% in charge of the thrusting. The pressure you're putting on her muscles can also create a tightness in her pelvis, leading to an increased tighter feel for you. You should make sure she's flexible enough to pull this one off – many women aren't – and keep in mind you'll probably be able to pull this off for just a few minutes.
5. Swivel And Grind
Carlee Ranger
If you’re working with a little bit less than the average man, the Swivel and Grind is your friend. Instead of the ol’ in-and-out pumping, which is actually better for you than it is for her, once you’re inside her, use your hip rotation to grind and twist inside of her, pressing your shaft as hard as you can against her clitoris. The friction and pressure will be what brings her to orgasm, no matter what your size. To get maximum closeness, Missionary with legs on shoulders works best. You may also want to consider propping up her hips on a pillow or wedge (you can find specially made ones) to create the perfect angle.
6. The Viennese Oyster
Carlee Ranger
Sex expert Tyomi Morgan says: The Viennese Oyster requires she place both of her ankles behind her head, fully exposing her vulva and folding her body into the shape of an oyster. He holds her ankles in place while she uses her free hands to prevent his body weight from crushing her contorted body. This is great for extra-deep penetration.
7. Spread Eagle
Carlee Ranger
This one's not for beginners, as it requires a little light bondage. But if you're exploring kinkier options with your partner, this is a great option that allows you to take a more dominant role while still offering both of you a lot of intimacy. With your partner on her back, have her spread her legs and tie her ankles and her wrists together. You then have total control for a very steamy, powerful romp.
2. Doggy-Style Sex Positions
Dogs, it turns out, are more than just our best friends. They've also figured out a pretty good way to get it on. Doggy-Style and other positions where you're doing your partner from behind offer you a lot of control, and while they're typically less intimate than Missionary or its variations, sometimes that's exactly what you (or your partner) are looking for. Doggy variations allow for all kinds of positioning possibilities, as each person can be standing, kneeling, or lying down; it can be good for role play where staring into each other's faces might ruin the illusion; and it typically means both of you have the option to stimulate her clitoris. What's not to love?
1. Doggy-Style
Carlee Ranger
Doggy-Style is one of the favoured sex positions of millions of people for a few reasons. It’s the classic female submissive position and really lets the man be in control, and there’s more than a few variations to it. In its simplest form, you kneel on the bed, with your partner on all fours. Enter her from behind, and hold onto her hips and/or torso. You can decide to go slow or hard. If you want to add some roughness, and your partner is into that, this position is solid for pulling on hair or spanking as well, to add to the general submissiveness of the position. If you have a free hand, a clitoral reach-around or playing with her breasts can add extra stimulation to the position.
2. Reach For The Sky
Carlee Ranger
Doggy-Style is normally done kneeling, but it doesn’t have to be. An easy transition from normal Doggy-Style, in this version you actually get up on your feet and stand up, and lean way over her. You’ll get somewhat of a less intense thrust than regular Doggy-Style, but in return you'll have a different sensation, particularly for her, and a pretty decent workout for your hamstring and ankles from it. The leaning forward actually lets you get a somewhat deeper feel, and the difficulty quotient will make you feel all the more accomplished for pulling it off.
3. Bedside Doggy-Style
Carlee Ranger
A lot of sexual positions have the woman on an elevated platform with the man on the ground – this one flips the script. Go to the edge of the bed and kneel. Have her standing straight up and back up to you slowly, and then bend over at 90 degrees. You then enter her from behind and thrust away. This one has a little bit less of the hands-on potential of traditional Doggy Style, but it’s an interesting take on a position that’s arguably more male-dominant. If you want to make things easier on her back, have her place her arms on a chair or desk for support.
4. Backdoor Planking
Carlee Ranger
Sex expert Tyomi Morgan says: This position not only accesses the G-spot and the A-spot to create squirting orgasms but it's also comfortable for the female partner after switching into several positions. Backdoor planking is a position where the female partner lies on her stomach with her legs positioned close together, and is penetrated from behind. This position requires little work on her behalf, but feels amazing because her legs are placed closely together which creates a tighter entry for him and increased sensation for her.
5. Doggy-Style Stairs
Carlee Ranger
Another set up that works for anal sex or vaginal sex, the Doggy Style sex on the stairs takes advantage of the natural incline of the steps to create new angles and support for a classic position. Again, carpeted steps or a towel to protect her knees are a good idea. Depending on your height, you can either be standing or kneeling for this one. The stairs mean she can keep herself more upright, and the fact that you’ll be on a lower step means you have a more natural, upright angle to enter her vagina than traditional Doggy Style on a flat surface. Just make sure you don’t fall.
6. Spooning
Carlee Ranger
Spooning is one of the “cuddliest” of the sex positions, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make it intense. You lie on your side, with your partner in front of you, facing away. Enter her from behind, and then both of you can control the pace and depth of thrusting. The position is comfortable, for longer sex sessions with a lot of sensual touching and kissing of the back of the neck. You can also get quite handsy and reach around to play with her nipples or even reach down and add extra stimulation to her clitoris from the front.
7. Kneel Together
Carlee Ranger
This position is a great variation on regular Doggy Style. In this edition, you enter her from behind as you would normally with Doggy Style, only then both of you straighten your torsos straight up. This position means her hands are freer than they’d normally be during Doggy Style, which means she can more easily play with her clitoris or even reach down and grab your balls.
8. Hyper-Connected Doggy
Carlee Ranger
Sex expert and founder of Sexpressed.com Scott Brown says: It's a variant of the Doggy Style position we are all familiar with. The man stands on the floor at the edge of the bed, and the woman gets into typical Doggy Style position on the bed. After the man has entered her he pulls the woman up towards him so that she is now kneeling at the edge of the bed, instead of being an all fours. He supports her with one hand wrapped around her torso. This position is so great because it allows you to get that deep penetration so many love about Doggy Style but you are more connected with your partner because her whole body is up against you. Added benefits are that you can pull her hair, see her face, and also whisper nasty things into her ear, all at the same time, since you have one free arm. It’s intense, intimate and feels good!
9. Chicken Wing Doggy-Style
Carlee Ranger
This is a pretty straightforward Doggy variation. Start in the typical Doggy Style position and then lift her up by her thighs.
Adult film actor and director Derrick Pierce says: Make sure your arm/hand is underneath her leg for support. For additional support, bring your leg up and plant on your foot (with the same leg of hers that you are holding) and rest her leg on top of your knee.
10. The Superhero
Carlee Ranger
Perhaps the ultimate strength test sex position, the "Superman" sees you bend her over a desk or table, with her using it for support. Then, once you're inside her, lift her pelvis up slowly until her feet are actually off the ground, and you're holding on to her as you thrust in and out. The sheer physical intensity of this one means it's not for the faint-hearted, but can provide an adrenaline rush as you go closer and closer to your breaking point. Keep safety in mind and let her down gently as soon as your strength starts to wane.
11. The Lean Doggy
Carlee Ranger
Dating writer Jeremy Glass writes: How it looks depends on (a) your partner and (b) the thing she's leaning over. If you have a really understanding woman-friend who doesn’t mind being boned from behind while she rests her elbows on a wooden desk, all is well. Leaning your partner over, say, a table and taking her from behind requires work from her end (no pun intended) but allows the dude to go about sexy times while literally just standing there. Literally! How it feels depends on the surface. If you’re leaning your partner over a bathroom sink, it probably won’t be the best for her. However, if you’re leaning her over the bed and there happens to be a plate of pancakes and waffles on said bed... everyone’s happy.
12. Bent-Over Standing Doggy
Carlee Ranger
This standing twist on Doggy Style takes some serious flexibility and commitment, but if you're up for it (or down for it) it can be a fun addition to your roster of sex positions. This is also a great choice if you're trying to get it on in public without being caught – she can completely dip down behind a bush or parked car for cover.
13. Out-Of-Control Cowgirl
Carlee Ranger
Astroglide's resident sexologist Dr. Jess says: In this one, the man kneels and sits back on his heels, while the woman sits atop him, facing away, to maintain total control, since he can’t thrust with as much power while on his knees.
14. The Cowboy
Carlee Ranger
Before we get to the Woman On Top positions (aka different variations of the Cowgirl) let's check out the Cowboy. Finally, your chance to ride. This is a variant on the Backdoor Planking position that sees you putting your thighs outside of your partner's thighs instead of inside them. Your partner should push her butt up in the air a little bit to help give you a better angle – a pillow can help here.
3. Woman On Top Sex Positions
While the Missionary- and Doggy-inspired positions typically mean the man is in control of the action, positions that feature the woman on top allow your partner a lot more control over the speed, intensity and angle of penetration. They do offer the possibility of both of you facing each other, or away from each other; and either partner can take control of the thrusting, making these positions a versatile option that offers pleasure for all.
1. Cowgirl
Carlee Ranger
Probably one of the first positions you learned, there's more than a few reasons why the Cowgirl is arguably the world's favoured sex position. You get to lie back and get a simply wonderful view of your partner moving up and down; she gets excellent clitoral stimulation and a lot of control of depth and penetration. Penetration-wise, this is arguably the quickest way for a woman to achieve orgasm, although quite a bit more difficult for you. Use your free hands to massage her breasts, and if you want to add an element of dominance despite your position on the bottom, you can place your fingers gently around her neck.
2. Reverse Cowgirl
Carlee Ranger
A classic, the reverse Cowgirl puts the man on the bottom and has the woman straddling him facing away. She can control the angle of penetration here, and the man gets a great view of her from behind. If you want to change things up, arch your knees up to give her something to easily push off of. If you want to make eye contact and get a view of her from the front, a mirror could also be your friend here.
3. Crouching Reverse Cowgirl
Carlee Ranger
The Reverse Cowgirl is usually done in something of a vertical T-position, with the man lying flat on his back and the woman bouncing up and down mostly upright. You can add a variation to this by having her lean forward, so that her head is actually almost over top of your feet. By planting her arms onto the ground/bed or even grabbing your shins, she can really get a lot of leverage to move herself back and forth. This one really leaves her in control and lets you sit back and chill out.
4. Woman Lying On Top
Carlee Ranger
This position requires a lot of exertion on the woman’s part but could be very intense; it can also work as an anal sex position, and give her a lot of control in that scenario. It’s pretty self explanatory; you lie flat on your back and hold her by the hips or butt, while she partly props herself up using her elbows and legs, arching her back and placing her shoulders and shoulder blades on your chest. Then she lowers her hips up and down, to control how deeply you move in and out of her. To prevent her from getting tired, help her by supporting her butt and taking off some of the weight.
5. The Backseat Special
Carlee Ranger
The backseat is a favourite sex spot because of it being the most convenient spot to have sex when you're young and still living at home. So if you and your lover are driving down the highway and you're bored as sin, and get understandably horny, you can't well have a roll on the interstate. The backseat is a cramped, semi-public locale for sex, which can add to the thrill of it. For this, you're probably better off sticking to the standard Cowgirl position, although Missionary might also be an option.
6. The Waterfall
Carlee Ranger
The Waterfall is one of the strangest-looking sex positions out there, but once you try it you’ll understand why it’s worth it.
Sex expert Dr. Emily Morse says: The Waterfall is a variation on the popular Cowgirl position, but packs a super-sized climactic punch. Start by laying on the couch or bed with your head near the edge and your partner on top of you, but instead of riding you from her knees, she’ll need to lean back and shift her weight to her feet. Once she’s got the stance down, inch toward the edge of the bed or couch, letting your head and shoulders slide off onto the ground while your hips remain elevated. If you’re on a couch, drape your legs over the back of the seat or simply let your knees fall open. From here, your partner has complete control over the speed, depth and intensity of her gyrations, not to mention a free hand to use as she wishes – clitoral stimulation, anyone? There are a couple of ways to execute this pose: You can either use it as a bridge while building to orgasm, or moving into it right before the big finale. Either way, this position will cause the blood to rush to your head (and your other head) for an explosive climax. (Now you’ll understand why it’s called the Waterfall.)
7. Zen Sex
Carlee Ranger
Some people want lustful, intense, passionate sex... and some people want more relaxed sex. If you're in the mood for something a little more zen, try this position. In order to pull it off, your partner should put her legs into a full lotus position and lean forward on her hands. Or, she can move her hips up and down. Alternately, you can help by lifting her hips from behind to achieve an up and down motion.
4. Oral Sex Positions
Not all sex has to be exclusively genitals-on-genitals. Oral sex is always a great pleasure option, whether you're giving or receiving – or both at once. Not to mention that many women report enjoying oral sex more than penetrative sex. So what are your options when it comes to blowjobs, cunnilingus and 69ing? Let's check it out.
1. Lying For Him
Carlee Ranger
This is probably the least work you'll ever have to do to achieve orgasm, as you just lie back and let your partner do the work. This allows her to control everything that's going on, too, meaning she has full say over the speed, the angle, the duration and more, making this a great option for both of you if you like her style.
2. Lying For Her
Carlee Ranger
One good turn deserves another – this position is the gender-swapped version of the above one and similarly allows her to relax and you to really get to work. It's also perfect for amping things up a bit by adding some fingering to the mix to really taking her pleasure to the next level.
3. Standing For Him
Carlee Ranger
This has been a staple of porn scripts for a long, long time. While it might be a little less relaxing position to receive a blowjob, it's a great option if there isn't a bed available and/or if you want to feel more dominant or engage in role play while receiving oral pleasure. It also means you can experiment (with your partner's express consent!) with thrusting a little rather than just being a passive recipient.
4. Standing For Her
Carlee Ranger
This is a bit trickier than the male equivalent, but it's a solid option if there isn't a bed available – although trickier to pull off in more public situations if your partner's wearing trousers or shorts. Just kneel at her feet, have her spread her legs a bit and go for it.
5. Face-Sitting For Him
Carlee Ranger
Face-sitting can be very hot because it adds an extra element of dominance and submissiveness to your oral play. Have your partner lie on her back; she can prop up her head either using a pillow or leaning her shoulders against the wall. Then, thrust into her mouth. It’s a good idea to go gently here because you could make this uncomfortable otherwise. Talk to her beforehand to establish some boundaries and maybe a signal for whether you should stop; then during the act, work with her body language and cues to figure out your rhythm and how deep you can go.
6. Face-Sitting For Her
Carlee Ranger
For female on male, this position works even better. The mechanics are pretty simple: you lie flat on your back, and she straddles your face with her thighs, lowering her crotch onto your head. You can also use a pillow to take some of the pressure off your neck. Women love this position, but a lot of guys do too, A) because it’s a pretty comfortable way to eat her out and B) there’s a bit of female dominance to the position. She can also add a bit more pressure if you want to kick it up a notch, in which case you’ll want to work out a signal in case you find yourself suffocating.
7. The 69
Carlee Ranger
The classic mutual pleasure oral position, 69-ing is a thrill for the head-to-toe positioning. It also works for any combination of two sex partners. If you're lying one on top of the other, typically woman on top is easier, with each of your pleasuring the other orally. An intense position, the 69 also tests your concentration and your ability to pleasure your partner while she’s doing the same for you. Work on this one and play with various configurations so you’re most comfortable.
8. Sideways 69ing
Carlee Ranger
Another fun option for the 69 is to simply turn it on its side. While sideways 69ing requires a bit more effort than the upright version, it's a great option if lying on top of each other is tricky for whatever reason, and offers a fun new spin – literally – on a classic oral sex position.
9. The Upside-Down 69
Carlee Ranger
Not satisfied with simply turning the 69 sideways? Amp it up another level with the Upside-Down 69. This variations, which is not for beginners, also requires some specific hardware, as you'll need a chin-up bar or some sort of equivalent bar for the top person to hang from. Don't try this without first ascertaining that it can hold your weight (or your partner's) though. You can also alternate which one of you is upside down if you're really enjoying yourselves.
10. Sideways Oral
Carlee Ranger
Recline on your side, and have your partner position herself so that her head is in line with your crotch. She should also be on her side, and can wrap her arms around your legs for balance and leverage. From there, it’s up to you; you can totally sit back and let her do all the work, or provide the thrusting motion yourself. This is an incredibly comfortable and relaxed position for both of you. Your partner may need to tuck her legs in to prevent her legs from hanging over the bed (if that’s where you’re at) or even placing a chair next to the bed if you’re a taller couple so that her legs aren’t hanging into the air.
11. Elevated Cunnilingus
Carlee Ranger
A table, a windowsill, a countertop, whatever the case, having your partner up above means that you can go down on her… without going down too much. Have her bring her legs right up to the edge of whatever surface she’s on, and then either kneel or stand (depending on her and your height) and give it your all. This is another one that is great for getting it on in public, because you don’t need a nice cushy surface to lie down on.
12. The Seated Blowjob
Carlee Ranger
Is there anything better than getting a blowjob while seated? Don't answer that; it's a rhetorical question, and besides, the answer is no. Perhaps the most famous version of this blowjob position is getting one in a car, known as "road head". That's a sideways angle, but of course you can always do this in the privacy of your home instead of in a motor vehicle. In that case, your partner would probably approach from the front, with you seated on a chair of your choice and her kneeling in front of it.
13. Doggy-Style Oral
Carlee Ranger
Unlike most other oral sex positions, this Doggy Style one is (crazy bending ability aside) pretty much just for performing on women. Have her get down on all fours, either propping herself up on her knees and hands or knees and elbows. You then either get down on all fours and pleasure her orally from behind, or have her on all fours next to the edge of the bed so that you can either stand or kneel on the ground to make it easier on your back. This position is also great for analingus, if you so desire.
5. Standing Sex Positions
Whether you have a bed at your disposal or not, sometimes you just want to get it on standing up instead of lying down. Standing sex is a great option if you're in the mood for sex positions that burn a few more calories, and if your heights line up just right, standing sex means, like some Doggy Style positions, that you have a lot of freedom of movement. It's also probably the most common go-to for public sex because it typically doesn't require anything except two open zippers (you can still be wearing most of your clothes).
1. Standing Sex
Carlee Ranger
Bro, do you even lift (your partner up to have sex with her)? Grab her thighs and then have her wrap her legs around you while hanging off your shoulders with her arms. Make sure you're strong enough to pull this one off, and then penetrate her. You'll probably have to lift her up higher and then slowly lower her onto your penis. We'd add a pretty big note of caution here: make sure you have a very firm grip and take this slowly and safely, as there is the potential for injury here if you drop your partner – ouch.
2. Against A Wall
Carlee Ranger
This is a staple of movie sex scenes – two characters passionately embrace for the first time and, too lustful to make it to the nearest bed, simply get it on against the nearest wall. Like its wall-less equivalent, it's taxing on your upper-body strength, but the wall means you're not supporting all of your partner's weight. It also offers great access to the neck and breasts so you can get in a lot of passionate kissing, and a lot of intimate face-to-face time.
3. Standing From Behind
Carlee Ranger
Another public sex favourite that can work for anal, this position is relatively simple: both of you are standing, and you enter her from behind. She can be completely upright, in which case you'll want either a wall, a tree, or a similarly vertical object for her to lean against. Another way to do it is to have her lean against a desk or table.
4. Woman On Table Sex
Carlee Ranger
For truly intense thrusting and sex that involves a lot of power, having your feet firmly planted on the ground is a great way to go. Have your partner lie flat on the table (this also works with any roughly waist-high platform) and have her butt pushed right up to the edge, or even overhanging a tiny bit. Then enter her and you’ll see how much power and stability you have from being in a standing position. As for her legs, there are a few options; you can have her wrap them around you, you could have them hanging down or up against your shoulders, you could even have her lie on her side as well for a differing angle of penetration.
5. Criss Cross
Carlee Ranger
Sex expert Lindsay Tigar says: This is one of the less standard positions, but great to have in your arsenal. What this position does, essentially, is make your penis feel twice as big as it actually is, and all she has to do is cross her legs. You in? Figured as much. Find yourself a surface that is roughly at hip-height. Then lay your lady down on said surface with her legs draping over the edge. Standing between her legs, enter her, then lift and cross them so they form an X. From here, you can place her ankles on your shoulders. By crossing her legs, you have better access to her G-spot and become the girthiest dude she’s ever had. Presumably.
6. Pile Driver
Carlee Ranger
This one is no walk in the park for the man either. It’s an intense position by any stretch of the imagination, and one you’re not likely to be able to sustain for long. To get into this one, have her lie on her back, then lift her legs up slowly from her thighs until her torso is coming off the floor. Slowly raise her butt up so that it’s almost above her head, and then straddle her, using up and down motion to enter her. You’re going to have to lean forward somewhat in order to position your penis at the right angle, which is going to take a bit of bending regardless.
7. Bridge And Tunnel
Carlee Ranger
This is a complicated sex position that shouldn't be attempted by the inexperienced. That being said, for a couple who are really in sync, it's a great option for trying something new and burning a few calories.
Astroglide's resident sex expert Dr. Jess says: The partner in front spreads their legs and bends over, placing their hands on the floor. The other partner holds onto their hips and slides in from behind.
8. The Sitting V
Carlee Ranger
Have her sit on table or counter with enough room for her to lean back, and with her butt slightly hanging off the edge. Support her back with your hands, and then have her place one leg on your shoulder, and then the other. Have her grab behind your neck or shoulders for extra support. Then you can enter. You control the thrusting in this position, because generally keeping her balance is going to be enough of a challenge in itself. This is a tough position, requiring flexibility on her part, and it’s made tougher if she has short legs or you have a long torso. But if she can pull if off, she deserves a pat on the back – she might need it for support anyway.
6. Sitting & Kneeling Sex Positions
Of course, standing positions aren't for everyone. If the two of you don't match up well height-wise, sitting or kneeling positions can be more comfortable and intimate, while also offering some new and unique options for getting it on.
1. Seated Sex
Carlee Ranger
Sex expert Lindsay Tigar says: In case bedroom sex has got you bored, familiarise yourself with some good old chair sex. Sitting in a sturdy chair where both of your feet can touch the floor, have her straddle you (facing toward each other) and let her lower herself on top of you. Similar to the Cowgirl position, she can move herself up and down, or just grind on you.
2. The Lover

Nick Hawk, star of Showtime’s reality show Gigolos says: With “The Lover”, the man sits at the end of the bed and the woman straddles him. Both of these allow deep penetration and extra skin-to-skin contact.
3. Kneeling Sex
Carlee Ranger
Another position that’s all about intimacy, kneeling sex can be rewarding if pulled off right. We’d suggest finding a cushion, pillow or yoga mat to take some of the strain off your knees. This position also works best if the man isn’t too much taller than the woman; if you’re 6’3” and your partner is 5’5”, this might not work. You kneel, placing your left outstretched knee to the left of her and your right leg behind you. The woman does the same. To get penetration, you should try to lower your pelvis beneath your partner’s (hence why this might be difficult for taller folk) and slip your penis into her vagina. Once you’re inside her, this position becomes easier, as she rocks her pelvis back and forth until you both get off. If your balance is good enough, there’s also potential for a bit of anal or nipple play with your hands.
4. Kneel And Deliver
Carlee Ranger
Another kneeling sex position, this one also doesn’t require a bed but it does require a soft surface. You get on your knees, resting your arse on your hamstrings. Have her sit down slowly until you enter her, with her wrapping her arms around your neck or shoulders for added balance. While this one looks uncomfortable, the angle and stability actually mean this one can be reasonably intense, while providing eye-to-eye contact and a “do-it-anywhere” convenience.
5. The Bridge
Carlee Ranger
A kneeling position for the man, the bridge gives you a wonderful view of her breasts and torso while demanding a lot of her physically. While she creates an arch with her arms and legs, you kneel in front of her and penetrate her. She won't be able to do too much moving, aside from keeping herself upright, so your job is to grab her ass and start pulling her hips back and forth to get the necessary motion to make the whole thing work. Supporting her ass with your hands a bit will also take some of the strain off her arms.
6. The Butterfly
Carlee Ranger
Dr. Kat Van Kirk, sex expert for Adam & Eve says: She lays on her back with her hips off the bed. Her legs can either be wrapped around your hips, her feet can be flat on the floor or she can have her knees bent up to her breasts. This position allows for her to control the angle of penetration with her hips and both of you have hands free to explore one another and make sure her clitoris isn't ignored. Plus, you can control the depth and speed of penetration that works for both of you. This position also promotes intimacy through ease of eye gazing and kissing and it promotes communication because you see one another's responses to stimulation.
7. Yab Yum
Carlee Ranger
This is one requires a lot of intimacy and patience; you won’t get much intensity or deep thrusting. To get into this, you sit down facing your partner, and wrap your legs around her. She does the same, keeping her legs inside yours. She should slide her bum forward a little bit until you can slide inside her. Probably not the one to try on a first date, but it can be rewarding all the same.
7. Unusual Sex Positions
Sex, being the diverse and crazy thing that it is, can't neatly be divided into six simple categories. So of course this list has to include a section for all the weird, wild, wet and wacky sex positions that simply don't fit anywhere else. Are you looking to try something a little bit outside the box, to cross a few more things off your bucket list, to mix in some furniture or to add some serious spice to your life between-the-sheets? This is the section for you.
1. The Wheelbarrow
Carlee Ranger
This one is all about her upper body, back and leg strength. Barring some kind of Olympian training you each have, this is probably a bit of a transition position rather than anything that’s going to lead to a long-lasting session. Have her start on all fours, and then lift up her pelvis until her vagina is in line with your penis. Grasp her around her hips firmly and thrust into her. Rather than having her try to do vertical pushups, or you pulling her back and forth, both of which are liable to tire you out, do the work with your hips. The position can actually be quite interesting for her clitoris.
2. The Surfboard
Carlee Ranger
Sex expert Tyomi Morgan says: This sex position requires a bathtub big enough to accommodate both partners and can be enhanced by lighting a few candles and adding some champagne. It is important to only fill the bathtub up halfway to avoid overflow when you both sit down. In this position, the male partner sits in the tub with his legs extended and gets to relax. The female partner sits on top of her partner and puts in the work. She can sit with her back facing him or face him positioned on her knees or with her feet flat in the tub. Like sex on the beach, the water in the tub can wash away natural lubricant, but the feeling of the water between both bodies will feel amazing!
3. Sex In A Hot Tub
Carlee Ranger
Is there a specific sex position for the hot tub? Probably not, but it’s a natural place for sex; you’re already in close contact with people wearing very little clothing anyway. In addition to the jets of a hot tub being a wonderful masturbatory aid for women (a very effortless extra to getting her in the mood), there are benches all around for one of you to sit on.
4. Scissoring
Carlee Ranger
To be honest, aside from the awesomeness of the name, you might find this one a bit challenging. Scissoring involves you intertwining your legs together, and placing yourself at something approaching a 90-degree angle to each other. Insert yourself into your partner, and then move your hips to thrust in and out. You'll need to do this slowly and carefully, as it's pretty easy to slip out in this position. This position is pretty unique because it involves very little eye contact, and places your heads pretty far away from each other, and your body position is such that you can't really use your hands to fondle one another in any way. Little eye contact, a lot of distance and difficult thrusting make this one a toughie, but sexually experienced couples should give it a go if only for the novelty.
5. Scissor Straddle
Carlee Ranger
Though “scissoring” is a real thing as well, this position requires a bit of twisting and endurance. Perfect for the woman to be fully comfortable and let herself go, this puts the man in full command of how fast and how deep he wants to penetrate. As with all such kneeling positions, this one is going to seriously test your hamstring muscles and how cramp-proof you are, but the effort is always worth it.
6. The T-Position
Carlee Ranger
Most sex positions have your bodies lined up more-or-less; this one does exactly the opposite. Have her start off by lying on her back, you lie on your side, and penetrate her from the side. This sort of thing either works best on a comfy floor or a queen or king-size bed; you’ll need a fair bit of real estate to pull this off. Once you’re inside her, you control the pace and depth of the thrusting. This position is a little bit less popular because it’s less obvious and doesn’t provide as intense or as intimate of an experience as some of the others, but it does allow you to shake things up. Additionally, because often men’s penises are taller than they are wide, this means that by effectively turning your penis sideways you can better target her clitoris.
7. The Sit 'N' Spin
Carlee Ranger
This position uses the vibrations of your washer or dryer to add a little extra kick to your sexual experience. Sit on the edge of the machine while it’s running (spin cycle works best on a washer), and then have her mount you in Cowgirl position, or with her legs wrapped around. From there, she should feel the vibrations running through your penis, making her orgasm all the better. Best of all? Once you’re done, you’ll have clean clothes to change into.
