In case you were wondering, Google searches for “best sex positions” have increased by 355 per cent in the last week.
Blame it on the fact we’re all home a lot more or that Valentine’s Day is coming up, but either way, it looks like a lot of us are looking for some new bedroom moves.
And while the most-Googled sex position in Australia may be pretty beige, the research team at SlotsUp has discovered five other popularly-searched positions you may not have heard of.
So if you’ve already given the best sex position for your star sign a try, see if any of these take your fancy…
1. Lotus sex position
Just like a hug… but sex. This position requires both partners to wrap their arms and legs around each other, with whoever is on the bottom able to hold their partner’s weight. But it’s the partner on top that’ll do all the movement work.
2. The splitting bamboo
If you’re wondering how this one is considered ‘lazy’ given the height of that leg, the key is to have it resting on the other person’s shoulder. The move allows for deeper penetration with little effort from both parties.
3. The plough
Now this one requires some work. It’s like the adult version of a wheelbarrow race. One partner leans on their arms while the rest of their body is lifted and held from behind. It’s a bit of hard work but everyone wins once the finish line is reached.
4. The Catherine wheel
This one may require some twisting and turning to get into position. Begin with one partner sitting with their legs crossed, then have the other straddle them, placing their legs around the torso. The original partner should then move one of their legs to be across the other’s middle. If you feel like a pretzel, it’s probably working.
5. The bridge
Put those yoga classes to good use and try ‘The Bridge’ if you’re feeling flexible. One partner should be on all fours facing the ceiling and pushing up to create a bridge. The other partner can then kneel and position themselves between the legs.
Had you heard of any of these sex positions?
Spicy! Some fab positions mentioned and I’ve tried a couple but not all!
I didn’t know the names of the positions but seeing the pictures I am familiar with some and have tried some 🤭🤫
So many comments come to mind but probably won’t be posted as they are too naughty. Done a couple of these a while back but there would be a few couples probably hurting themselves trying some of these, lol.
yes could get tricky XX
Some of these look interesting haha
lol at google
Corny joke (copied). What do you call an avocado that has been baptised? A holy guacamole. Nothing else to add here…
Ha Ha love it
Haha, Chrystalage!
That sounds like the type of corny joke my Google Home tells me! It’s getting needy – it asked me to rate one of its jokes out of 5 the other day! WTF?
Yeah, love lotus and bridge =D
yes have heard of them and tried some -not athletic enough for all !!
Flexibility on both counts required here
some of these could induce cramps lol
My thoughts exactly @ShopA.
Gee, my days are just reading books and doing jigsaws now and no way can I bend or do any of the above now.
Some very interesting positions you would definitely need to be a Gymnast for some of them 😊
I have heard of these positions! They aren’t new but didn’t know they had such interesting names haha
yes oldies but goodies
Lotus & Splitting Bamboo – yeah. What do you mean the Splitting Bamboo is for lazy couples? I’ve got to prop myself up on my elbows, for goodness sake!
Good to know some of them.
My, who has the energy for those!
The internet has too much time on its hands… Ha ha!!!
Haha, I wasn’t familiar with the names of all of these positions. I’ve tried a few of them back in the day
Some of those are a bit gymnastic – not for everyone.
A cheeky revisit to this article has me smiling!
