Sex is great, yes, but what drives one woman wild might be a snooze-fest for another. But for all you men who want to step up your game and really deliver in the bedroom, you need to know what works for most women—and why.
So, we did some research, gathered real experiences, and even spoke to some of our female readers who know a thing or two about great sex.
Here’s what we found—the top 5 sex positions that women can’t get enough of and why you should be trying them ASAP.
- Cowgirl
What is it?
She’s on top, facing you, riding at her own pace.
Why women love it:
Control. It’s that simple. When she’s on top, she controls the rhythm, depth, and movement—finding the right spot for the perfect amount of clitoral stimulation. This way, she can reach the climax much faster, while you just sit back and enjoy the view.
“Women don’t always orgasm from penetration alone,” says Sophie, 29. “But when we’re on top, a lot of us find it much easier to finish. I also love putting on a show for the guy under me, so if anything, it’s a position enjoyed by men just as much as women.”
Want to make it even better? Use your hands. Play with her breasts, rub her clit, hold her waist and guide her movements.
- Doggy Style
What is it?
She’s on all fours, and you’re behind her.
Why women love it:
This position allows for deep penetration and G-spot stimulation, meaning the right angle can send her over the edge. It’s also perfect for those who like things a little rougher, as nothing beats the animalistic feeling of being taken from behind.
We reached out to Elite Society, a provider of high-class London escorts, to get the perspective of Ellen, one of their most sexually active ladies. Here’s what she had to say:
“I have clients who are obsessed with doggy because it makes them feel dominant. But what most of them don’t realise is that we love it just as much. There’s something about being taken from behind that makes it so much hotter, especially if you’re good at dirty talk. I’m a sucker for dirty talk while being taken from behind.”
- Spooning
What is it?
Both of you are lying on your sides, facing the same direction, with you behind her.
Why women love it:
Often referred to as the “lazy couples sex position”, this is one loved by plenty of women worldwide. It’s slow, sensual, and intimate, perfect for morning sex or those nights where all your energy is spent.
“It’s the most underrated position,” says Nina, 34. “People think it’s quite dull, but actually, it’s one of the best for feeling connected. It also makes it really easy for clitoral stimulation, which means the orgasms can come much faster.”
Hot tip? Wrap an arm around and play with her breasts or rub her vagina while thrusting slowly.
- Missionary (Legs on Chest)
What is it?
A spicy upgrade to classic missionary—her legs are pushed up against your chest (or resting on your shoulders) while you thrust deep.
Why women love it:
Missionary might get a bad rap for being too vanilla, but this variation? Much, much naughtier. With her legs raised, the angle is deeper, meaning you’re hitting her G-spot effortlessly. It also keeps things intimate—you’re face-to-face, able to kiss, whisper dirty things, and watch every reaction.
“Oh my god, this position is unreal,” says Jessica, 27. “When my legs are up, it’s like he’s just… reaching places he normally doesn’t. And the eye contact can get pretty intense too, which I love. You get that deep connection while also feeling completely dominated. What more could a lady ask for?”
Want to take it to the next level? Hold her wrists above her head, keep a firm grip on her thighs, and slow down the strokes every now and then.
- The Lotus Position
What is it?
Think of it as missionary meets intimate lap dance. She sits in your lap facing you, legs wrapped around your waist while you hold her close and rock together in perfect rhythm.
Why women love it:
Unlike harder, faster positions, the Lotus prioritises deep penetration and full-body contact. The slower movement means more grinding than thrusting, which is amazing for clitoral stimulation. Plus, there’s lots of eye contact and plenty of kisses, which never fails to make a woman fall for you.
“This position is my favourite,” says Leah, 31. “You’re chest to chest, totally wrapped up in each other, and feeling each other in every way possible. I especially love it when he holds the back of my neck, lets his hands roam over my body, and match my movements. I’ve had many an orgasm with this position!”
