We all know that one of the best parts of starting a new year is beginning fresh and making a few resolutions to ensure you’re living your best life. And believe it or not, that fresh start can extend to the bedroom. While no one will ever say it’s wrong to stick to only a few favourite sex positions, when you switch things up and experiment with other positions, you’re building intimacy with your partner, as well as furthering your own sexual exploration.
If you don’t have time to flick through the Kama Sutra, perhaps you need a 12-month calendar of sex positions to try out. It will give you one more sexual resolution to add to your list and will get you and your partner not just experimenting, but excited about what’s in store next month!
January – Spooning
Who doesn’t love a good spooning? It’s the perfect position for early morning sex, or when you’re in the mood for something lazy in the evening. Both are on your side facing the same direction, and rock gently until you finish. A great position for when it’s cold outside!
February – The Amazon
It’s the lovey-dovey month that contains Valentine’s Day, so a position that offers intimacy and comfort are ideal. The man sits on a chair, the woman then straddles him with her feet touching the ground, so she can bounce up and down easily.
March – The Pretzel
The man kneels and straddles the woman’s left leg while she is lying on her left side. Her right leg will be bent around the right side of his waist, giving him access to enter her. This position allows her to lounge comfortably while enjoying deep penetration.
April – Reverse Cowgirl
He lies on his back, while she straddles their hips, facing away from them. This is a sexy, and often liberating position for women – not only are they in control, but they don’t have to worry how they look – so they can let go of their inhibitions and let loose!
May – Stand and Deliver
The days are longer, the sun is (occasionally) shining, and you’re feeling energised – what better time to try some more daring positions?
He stands at the edge of the bed (or table/desk) while she lies back and raises her legs to her chest. He grabs her ankles and enters her. This position offers deep penetration, so thrust gently at first so she can get used to the new sensations.
June – Iron Chef
Take the passion into the kitchen with this sexy position. She positions herself on the edge of a kitchen counter (or table/desk), and raises her legs up and wraps them around his butt or thighs. Great for a quickie with deep penetration!
July – X Marks the Spot
The woman lies on her back, lifting her legs up and crossing them at the ankles or knees (whichever is most comfortable). In a standing position, he penetrates and uses her legs as leverage to pull himself in deeper. This is also a great position for people with smaller penises.
August – Doggy Style
August is hot and sticky, the perfect time for doggy style! It’s kinky, adaptable (it can be done in many different ways and in many different locations), and it provides great penetration. Achieving an orgasm in the position is easy as the position allows the tip of the penis to rub along the g-spot, making the experience extremely orgasmic for her. From him, the depth and friction feels fantastic, and it’s also a visually stimulating position, which only adds to the pleasure!
September – The Spider
Both are seated on the bed with legs towards one another, arms back to support themselves. She moves onto him, her hips will be between his spread legs, her knees bent, and her feet outside of his hips and flat on the bed. Rock back and forth gently.
October – 69
It’s getting colder, and you’ve probably realised you haven’t had enough oral sex in 2018! If that’s the case, this classic allows both partners to get intimate and is a sure way to get you both in the mood for intercourse. What’s great about the 69 is that it brings both man and woman intense pleasure: the taste, smell and sensations felt can often be more intimate than intercourse itself, because tastes and smells can be powerful aphrodisiacs.
November – The Lazy Man
He needs to be sat upright (with pillows behind his back for additional comfort, if needed) on the bed with legs outstretched. She straddles his waist, feet on bed. She then bends her knees to lower herself onto you. Pressing on the balls of her feet, she can raise and lower herself onto his shaft as slow or as quickly as she pleases!
December – The Cat
Why not end the year with guaranteed mind-blowing orgasms? The Cat is similar to the missionary position, except his body is farther up and to one side. Instead of being chest to chest, his chest is near her shoulders. Her legs should be bent about 45 degrees to tilt her hips up, which will cause the base of his shaft to maintain constant contact with her clit for added stimulation!
