Sex Positions

Sex positions are the various physical configurations that partners may adopt during sexual activity. These positions influence sensation, intimacy, power dynamics, and emotional connection.

Types of Sex Positions

  • Missionary: One partner lies on their back while the other lies on top. This position allows for eye contact and intimacy.
  • Doggy Style: One partner is on all fours, the other enters from behind. This position can feel primal, exposing, or empowering, and highlights the back, hips, and posture.
  • Cowgirl/Reverse Cowgirl: One partner straddles the other, facing towards or away. This position gives the partner on top control over movement and rhythm.
  • Spooning: Both partners lie on their sides, facing the same direction. This position is intimate, relaxed, and allows for full-body contact.
  • Standing: Both partners are upright, which can be spontaneous and passionate, but may require height compatibility and balance.
  • Sitting/Lap: One partner sits while the other straddles. This position allows for face-to-face intimacy and embraces.

Writing Tips

  • Use position to reveal character dynamics: dominance, submission, comfort, or playfulness.
  • Describe the physical sensations, emotional responses, and visual details of each position.
  • Link to human_positions, posture, and body_language.

Example

"She arched her back as he entered her from behind, her posture both vulnerable and commanding. The angle allowed him to trace her spine, each touch sending shivers through her body."

Why this works: The example uses posture and position to heighten erotic tension and sensory detail.
