The Cork Screw Sex Position
I came home from work to find my partner with candles lit and a cheeky smile on his face.
“Feeling horny?” I asked. He nodded and moved forward to kiss me passionately.
I dropped my bag as he started to undress me, finding myself getting lost in his kisses. The sexual tension built.
He led me to the bedroom and laid me down on the bed, caressing my body. I was wet and aroused, wanting more.
“Let’s try something new – the corkscrew,” He said. I agreed and he guided me into the right position. He slid inside me and I was instantly in heaven…..
If you want to try a sex position that offers deep penetration, new realms of pleasure, and plenty of close contact – then the corkscrew sex position is the one for you!
This guide walks you through mastering the corkscrew, its benefits, and tips for an amazing experience.
What Is the Corkscrew Sex Position?
No, I’m not talking about opening a wine bottle when I say corkscrew. I’m actually talking about one of the best sex positions for deep pentration and closeness with your partner.
The corkscrew sex position is a position where the receiving partner is on the bottom and the penetrating partner is on top, similar to the missionary position. In this case, the penetrating partner kneels. One of the receiving partner’s legs is between the legs of their lover, the other is wrapped around their partner’s waist to create a twisted angle.
The twisting motion allows for deep penetration and can target areas like the G-spot and A-spot for enhanced pleasure.
It sounds complicated, but actually, it’s one of the easiest sex positions to master. It’s also very accessible for most people and is fairly low energy. It’s one of my favorite sex positions, both as the giver and the receiver. It’s so much fun!
One of the best things about the corkscrew position is its versatility. Whether you’re looking to add a new dimension to your missionary position or explore different angles, the corkscrew can be adapted to suit your needs.
Any pairing can enjoy this position with the right accessories, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. It can be used for both vaginal and anal penetration.
Why Do People Like the Corkscrew Sex Position?
You’re probably starting to understand why people like the corkscrew sex position – there are lots of reasons! Let’s take a closer look together.
Increased Pleasure
The main reason people love the corkscrew sex position is because it feels great! Many people (myself included) find it offers more pleasure than the traditional missionary position.
The twisted angle provides new sensations, especially for people with a vulva. With deep penetration and a tight fit, it enhances G-spot access which feels incredible. Some people will even enjoy reaching the A-spot. Clitoral stimulation is significantly enhanced in this position, which can lead to more intense orgasms.
It also feels fantastic for the penetrating partner if they have a penis. The bottom partner can keep their legs pressed together, creating a tighter fit which increases pleasure.
I love that either partner can easily adjust the angle with a simple movement of their legs or by leaning back or forward. This creates so many new sensations which can boost stimulation.
Increased Intimacy
Like the missionary position, the corkscrew sex position allows partners to be close to one another and maintain eye contact, this closeness can create a deeper emotional connection. It’s one of the best sex positions for romantic, slow sex!
You can lean forward to kiss one another, explore each other’s bodies with your hands, and even hold one another during sex. You’re able to see each other’s bodies and enjoy looking at each other, which increases that sense of intimacy. It also adds to sexual arousal.
Spicing Up Your Sex Life
Trying new things in your sex life is a great way to keep things fresh, especially in long-term relationships. Research shows that repetition in the bedroom can lead to boredom and frustration for both partners. New positions introduce new sensations and excitement.
Great For Additional Stimulation
The cork screw sex position is a great position for involving sex toys and other forms of stimulation to make it feel even better!
The penetrating partner has their hands free to explore their lover’s body. It’s easy for them to access multiple erogenous zones, including the clitoris or penis and breasts or nipples. Likewise, the receiving partner has their hands free to explore their lover’s body.
I highly recommend adding sex toys like a cock ring or a vibrator. If you’re into bondage, it’s a fun position for tying up the receiving partner or introducing other BDSM elements. You even explore some power dynamics with the corkscrew sex position.
Versatile and Accessible
One of my favorite things about this position is that it’s so accessible. I’m disabled so I love positions that are easy to master and don’t require a ton of flexibility or strength.
As with the missionary position, the receiving partner can simply lie on their back. If needed, you can have your partner move your legs around and support your raised leg with their hands if you aren’t able to hold it up yourself. Despite the slightly twisted angle, in my experience, it’s a comfortable position to be in for long periods. Top tip – add a pillow or wedge behind your back to help you stay in the right position and increase comfort.
It’s also a fairly accessible position for the penetrating partner, as they simply support their weight on their knees. You can add a pillow under your knees if you need extra support or struggle with knee pain.
For both partners, it’s a fairly low-energy position, especially for the receiver, which is great if you struggle with fatigue from a chronic illness.
As a plus-sized person, I also love that this position is suitable for larger people. Neither partner has to support the other’s weight, and there’s plenty of room for beautiful big bellies!
It’s also incredibly versatile and can be used by any couple, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. I’ve found it’s one of the best sex positions for pegging!
How to Perform the Corkscrew Position
Getting into the corkscrew sex position is easier than you might think. Let’s break it down.
Start by having the receiving partner lie flat on their back, just like they would for the missionary sex position. The penetrating partner should kneel and straddle one of the receiving partner’s thighs.
The receiving partner should twist their body toward the leg being straddled. They can support their weight on one arm to raise themselves up or they can lie back if they prefer.
The receiving partner should then lift their free leg, wrapping it around the penetrating partner’s waist, creating a twisting motion. The penetrating partner can help to hold their partner’s raised leg for additional support. I find this makes things much more comfortable.
You can adjust your bodies slightly to try different angles until it feels right for you. You can also choose between anal or vaginal penetration with this sex position.
What Does the Guy Do in the Corkscrew Sex Position?
The ‘giver’ can be any gender and can have either a penis or a sex toy (like a strap-on). In the corkscrew position, the penetrating partner kneels between their partner’s legs to penetrate their lover. They support the receiving partner’s leg to maintain the twisted angle.
The ‘giver’ is the one in control of the pace and depth for the most part in this position. They can also use their free hand (or hands) to explore their partner’s body and provide additional stimulation.
What Does the Woman Do in the Corkscrew Sex Position?
The receiving partner can be a person with a vulva or a person with a penis who is going to be penetrated anally.
In the corkscrew position they lie back, maintain a twisted angle, and enjoy themselves! They can adjust the position of their legs and move their hips if they’re able to add new sensations. They can also use their hands to explore their partner’s erogenous zones.
Tips For Enhancing Pleasure in the Corkscrew Position
Here are some tips to make sure you’re getting the most out of the corkscrew position.
Communicate With Your Partner
Talk to your partner about your expectations and boundaries. It’s important to share your thoughts to make sure you’re both on the same page before trying any new sexual activity. Remember that enthusiastic consent is vital.
Use Protection
Always consider protection, particularly if you’re not in a long-term monogamous relationship. Condoms, dental dams, and other barrier methods don’t just protect against pregnancy – they protect against STIs too. So even if you’re a queer couple, thinking about protection is important.
Explore together
Explore various angles, depths, and paces to enhance stimulation for both partners. Mix things up to figure out what feels the best for both of you.
Try Manual Stimulation
Incorporating manual genital stimulation, breast or nipple massage, or exploring power dynamics can significantly enhance the experience.
Introduce Sex Toys
Adding a vibrator or dildo can add sensations. Double penetration can be great fun! I also love using a cock ring in this position to make things even more intense for both partners.
Add Support
Pillows can provide support and improve comfort. You can also use a sex wedge or bolster cushions to improve stability and support. You want to be as comfortable as possible so you can enjoy yourself (that’s the whole point, after all).
Switch Positions When Needed
Listening to your body and adjusting angles or positions as needed can prevent discomfort and keep things pleasurable.
Have Fun!
Sex is supposed to be fun and feel good. If it’s not, stop and try something else. If you find this position doesn’t work for you, there are plenty of other sex positions to try.
Final Thoughts – Corkscrews Aren’t Just For Wine!
The corkscrew position offers deep stimulation, intimacy, and plenty of opportunity for exploration. Trying new things in bed keeps things fun and fresh!
But why stop at one position? If you’re feeling adventurous, here are a few other positions to try that’ll take your pleasure to the next level:
The Butterfly position
Perfect for both, relaxation and intense pleasure. The receiving partner lies on their back with their hips at the edge of a surface—like a bed or table—while the penetrating partner stands or kneels in front. This angle creates deep penetration and easy access for clitoral stimulation.
Bonus points: it’s low energy but feels so good!
The Pile Driver Position
A bit more acrobatic but totally worth it! The receiving partner lies on their back, lifting their legs high over their head while supporting themselves on their shoulders. The penetrating partner kneels and thrusts downward for a deep, intense angle that hits all the right spots.
The Full Nelson Position
Ready for a challenge? In this position, the receiving partner sits in front while the penetrating partner kneels behind, lifting the bottom partner’s legs and holding them under the knees. It’s intimate, fun, and allows for maximum eye contact while offering an exhilarating, tight fit.
The Butter Churner Position
Don’t let the name fool you—this one’s a powerhouse! Similar to the Pile Driver in this position the receiving partner lies on their back with their legs lifted straight up, and the penetrating partner kneels over them, thrusting downward. It’s deep, intense, and perfect for exploring those hard-to-reach spots.
The main difference is that the Butter Churner is more relaxed and accessible, with legs lifted straight up, while the Pile Driver is more advanced and intense, requiring the receiving partner to fold their legs far over their head.
So, why not give the corkscrew sex position or one of these spicy alternatives a go and see if you like it? Just remember to relax and enjoy yourself!
