List of sex positions
This list of sex positions is a list of different ways to have sexual intercourse and other sexual acts.
Contents |
Intercourse [change]
These positions involve a penis going into a vagina or anus.
On top with front entry [change]
These positions are used for vaginal or anal sex. The basic position is called the missionary position. In it, the receiving partner lies on his or her back with legs apart. The penetrating partner lies on top of the receiving partner, facing them. The penetrating partner enters so that the base of the penis rubs the clitoris.
From behind [change]
Most of these positions can be used for either vaginal or anal sex.
The receiving partner is kneeling or on all four limbs. The penetrating partner inserts his penis from behind.
On top [change]
Most of these positions can be used for either vaginal or anal sex.
The female is on her hands and knees with her bottom exposed to the male. The male then pumps away at the lady's vagina with his penis.
Sitting and kneeling [change]
Most of these positions can be used for either vaginal or anal sex.
The penetrating partner sits down, with their legs stretched out. The receiving partner sits on top and wraps their legs around the penetrating partner. This is called pounding on the spot.
Standing [change]
In the basic standing position, both partners stand facing each other and have vaginal sex. The shorter partner can stand on a stair if the partners are different heights. It may be easier if the woman has her back to a wall.
Anal [change]
Most of the above positions can be used for anal sex.
- From behind. This position is good for thrusting.
- On top with front entry. The penetrating partner is between the receiving partner's legs. This position is good for beginners, because it allows them to relax.
Outercourse [change]
Outercourse or frottage is sometimes part of foreplay or to avoid intercourse.
- Dry humping – similar to sex, but with clothes on
- Handjob – Rubbing a partner's penis
- Footjob – using the feet to rub the penis
- Mammary intercourse – using the breasts to rub the penis
Genital-genital sex [change]
Genital-genital sex, sometimes called GG rubbing, is when two males rub penises together (sometimes called frot or frottage) or when two females rub vulvae together (sometimes called tribadism or scissoring).
Oral sex [change]
Oral sex is the term given to genital stimulation by the mouth. People may engage in oral sex as part of foreplay before intercourse, or during or following intercourse. It may also be performed for its own sake.
Fellatio [change]
Fellatio is a kind of oral sex that involves a man letting his penis be licked or "eaten" by his partner. The man's partner can be either a woman or another man. There are several ways to have oral sex.

- The man stands while his partner either kneels in front of him or sits (in a chair or on the edge of a bed, etc.) and bends forward.
- The man's partner lies on their back with their mouth open and the man lies so that his penis is in his partner's mouth.
Note: Fellatio doesn't have to involve 2 people. Some men have a long-enough penis and a good enough stretch to lick or put their own penis into their mouth. However, this is called autofellatio or autofellation.
Cunnilingus [change]
Cunnilingus is oral sex involving a woman's genitals. There are several ways to have oral sex.
