The 5 Best Sex Positions For When You're Feeling Stressed

a.k.a. Doggy-Style

Benefits: Deep penetration and an erotic view.

Entering her from behind, you'll be able to thrust deep so the tip of your penis touches her cervix, an often-neglected pleasure zone. But you should do this slowly and gently. Some women find it painful.

Hot Tip

She may be able to increase the intensity of your orgasm by pushing her pelvic floor muscles outward, as if trying to squeeze something out of her vagina. This causes the vaginal walls to lower, making her G-spot more accessible.

a.k.a. The Sleeper Hold

Benefits: Comfortable sex position if she's pregnant or you're heavy. Also ideal for long lovemaking. Good one for falling asleep afterward.

You both lie on your sides facing the same direction, you behind her. She bends her knees and pushes her rear back toward you for easier access to her vagina. Adjusting the lean of your bodies will vary the angle of entry and help with rocking and thrusting.

Now try this: synchronise your breathing. One of you takes the lead and the other follows so that you inhale and exhale together. The coordinated rhythm opens an unspoken dialogue of intimacy.

Hot Tip 

To give her the sensation of greater width inside her, from the spoon position have her bend and lift her top leg to her breasts. Adjust your position so you are more on top of her top hip than behind her.

Benefits: Intensifies vaginal pleasure

She lies face down on the bed, knees slightly bent and hips slightly raised. For comfort, and to increase the angle of her hips, she can place a pillow under her lower abs. You enter her from behind and keep your weight off her by propping yourself up with your arms. This position creates a snug fit, making you feel larger to her.

Now try this: you'll last longer in this position if you switch to shallower thrusts and begin deep breathing.

Hot Tip

Less friction means less stimulation—and can help you last longer. Try using a very slippery silicon-based lubricant, which may allow you to thrust longer before reaching orgasm.
