Oral Sex Positions
Everyone has unique kinks and fetishes…what gets you off may leave someone else cold, and vice versa. This leads to plenty of debate about what the best forms of sexual pleasure really are. But do you know what everyone can easily agree on? That good oral sex is mindblowing.
Despite the fact that everyone loves oral sex so much, most people end up doing the same thing every time. Are you looking to spice things up with a few new positions? Then you’re in luck! The rest of this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.. Remember, at Know Your Sins, we put the top (the sloppier the better!) back into “top oral sex positions,”
The Classic Oral (The Recliner)
One of the best things about receiving oral sex is that it’s so damned relaxing. If you want to make things even more relaxing, why not move out of the bed and into the couch? In the Recliner position, one person lies on a very comfy surface (which may or may not be a literal recliner) while the other lies on their stomach and puts their mouth to work. Incidentally, this position isn’t just comfortable for the receiver…done right, it also makes it easier to find the best angles for the giver’s comfort.
If you’re still not sold, consider this: the Recliner is so comfortable that it usually makes oral sex sessions last much longer. That’s because the optimal angles can help prevent things like neck pain and jaw soreness. As a final bonus, it offers a killer view to whoever is receiving some mind-blowing head and its a perfect sex position for people with penises or vulvas!
The Venus Butterfly
Women love oral sex just as much as men. And if your own girl doesn’t think so, it’s time to introduce her to the Venus Butterfly position. In this position, the receiving partner lies back and spreads her legs, allowing her partner to kneel down and start using their tongue on her clit. For penetrative sex, this position also makes it easy to use fingers or toys to hit her G-spot and play with her ass.
Because this position makes it so easy to lick her clit, many women absolutely love it. It provides something traditional intercourse usually doesn’t: simultaneous stimulation of the clit and the G-spot. Done right, this is the path to orgasms that will leave her knees weak when she tries to walk!
The Side-Lay 69
From blowjobs to cunnilingus positions, most people think oral sex boils down to one parter laying down while the other puts in the work. However, the Side-Lay position changes things up by having each partner laying on their side while pleasuring each other. This can make for a super-intimate 69 position or just an opportunity for the receiving partner to stroke and caress his partner’s body.
The Side-Lay position is all about intimacy, granting each partner full access to the other’s body. That’s enough to really enhance the senses, and it’s also perfect for nights when neither of you has much energy. The entire affair is wonderfully relaxed while sacrificing none of the pleasures of oral sex.
Intermediate Oral Techniques
Those earlier oral sex techniques are great, but they are admittedly pretty basic. In fact, you might mastered them back in high school. In that case, you might desire to take things to the next level with some more advanced techniques.
Good news: school’s in session, and we’re hoping you’re hot for teacher! If you or your partner don’t mind putting in the work, the following positions will provide a more satisfying experience, incorporating both hands and mouth for maximum oral pleasure.
Oral from the side or The Kivin Method
The Kivin Method position has a weird name, but it’s easy to pull off. It involves the giver lying or kneeling perpendicular to the receiver. In this position, you can explore more dynamic angles that make it easier for the one giving pleasure to get the job done. Also, this position lets the receiver place a leg over the giver’s neck, which enhances intimacy and makes clitoral stimulation easier.
The Seated 69 or The Downward Dog
The 69 sex position allows both partners to give pleasure each other’s genitals at the same time, but it can sometimes be weird and awkward for one person to be directly on top of the other. A more comfortable variant is the Seated 69 position, where the receiver sits while the giver kneels on their knees in front or stands in downward dog position. The one giving pleasure can kneel on a pillow in order to protect their knees (some of us are getting old!) while pleasuring their partner.
The Sit and Kneel
Everyone loves a good blow job or cunnilingus and this is another great oral sex position for people with penises and vulvas. The Sit and Kneel position involves the receiver sitting on a chair while the giver kneels. This position is fun because it fosters intimacy while stoking excitement. Plus, it offers the receiver more control of the proceedings, which is particularly great for someone looking to lightly dominate their partners. More on how to be dominant, can be found right here.
The Standing Ovation
What if you could get an award during your performance instead of after? The Standing Ovation position allows the receiving partner to lean against a wall while the giver performs oral sex. Such a position provides a great view, and you may find that orgasms while standing is insanely intense in the best possible way.
Seated Oral or The Face Time
Here is another of the seated oral sex positions. It’s a sort of face-sitting, but with less emphasis on the sitting part. In the Face Time position, the receiving partner can control exactly how much intensity they want by straddling their partner and pressing their vulva against their mouth, while the giving partner sits back and has their hands free to squeeze the thighs and/or masturbate during because you’re so damn hot!
Face-Sitting Variations
One of the most exciting forms of oral sex positions is face-sitting or queening in which one person lies on the other’s face to receive some sweet, sweet oral sex. Believe it or not, there’s more than one way to pull off a face-sitting session, and we’ve got a brief guide on Queening to our favorite sex positions!
Standard Face-Sitting
The standard face-sitting position is quite simple. The giving partner lies down and the receiving partner sits on his face (facing forward), allowing for genital stimulation. Because this position is easy and provides a view worthy of any spank bank, it’s an eternal favorite. However, it’s not the only way to to provide some face-sitting, seat-squirming pleasure.
Reverse Face-Sitting
Reverse face-sitting is exactly what it sounds like. The giving partner lies down and the receiving partner sits on his face but facing backward. In addition to providing fun variety and backdoor access, this intimate position allows the receiver to take control of stimulation and pace.
Tips for Enhancing Oral Sex
If you follow our above instructions, you can add more than a few new positions to your oral sex repertoire. And that alone may be enough to add some serious spice to your relationship every time that one partner wants to offer up a bit of oral research.
However, not every oral sex session feels equally great. If you think that your own sessions could use some improvement, here’s more good news: we’ve got a few easy tips you can start practicing as early as tonight. Use these to drive your partner crazy or to have your lover make your toes curl!
You’re never too old to play with toys
The biggest myth about oral sex is that your mouth alone may be enough to blow someone’s mind. However, while your mouth is the main event, it’s going to need some supporting members to make this a truly memorable oral performance.
That’s where sex toys come in. Vibrating dildos and finger vibes can add additional stimulation to things like clitoris stimulation, and flavored lube can make the world’s tastiest activity even yummier. You can also use nipple clamps to explore the intersection of pain and pleasure. Put it all together and you’ll be able to give and receive oral sex like never before.
Talk it out (before your mouth is full)
Once the oral sex starts, at least one of you is going to have both your hands and mouth full. Before that happens, though, the two of you need to talk things out, discussing what your mutual needs and kinks are as well as any hard and soft boundaries.
Try incorporating this dialogue into your foreplay, kissing and nibbling on each other’s genitals while planning your session together. When you’re done, make sure that the dialogue continues…aftercare is the perfect time and place for both of you to take stock of what worked, what didn’t work, and what you’d like to do next time.
Take the Time To Explore Their Body
Here’s some irony: one of the biggest mistakes anyone can make during oral sex is focusing only on the genitals. Sure, sucking and licking on your lover’s private parts is the main attraction here. But as with any other form of sex, you need to take time to stimulate other parts of your partner’s body.
At the bare minimum, that means taking the time to kiss and stroke your partner’s nipples, thighs, and other erogenous zones before, during, and after oral sex. As mentioned above, you should also consider bringing some of your favorite naughty toys to the party. All of that adds up to more stimulation, and that’s always the key to more pleasure!
Blowjobs and Cunnilingus: Safety First
On a sliding scale, oral sex usually isn’t considered the most dangerous sex position. Despite that, though, it’s easy to hurt yourself while trying to show someone what dat mouth do. It’s also possible to ruin what would be a good session through poor hygiene and bad communication.
That’s the bad news. The good news is that our guide below will help you maximize safety and comfort even as you maximize your pleasure!
Neck Support
Good oral sex involves moving your neck quite a bit as you seek out the most pleasurable sensations for your partner. That can easily lead to nasty neck pain that requires a depressingly long recovery time. To keep this from happening to you, try putting a cushion under your neck before initiating oral sex. This will help mitigate neck pain while providing a sexy view to the person receiving the head.
Good Hygiene Is Crucial
Here’s a gross-but-true fact: far too many people practice bad hygiene when it comes to their sex lives. This can make oral sex unpleasant at best and dangerous at worst. To keep this from happening to you, be sure to shower and use a mild soap on your genitals before you receive oral sex. For maximum safety, make sure you wash your hands after completing your oral sexcapade.
Safe Words
In the middle of some earnest oral sex, at least one partner is going to have their mouth very full. However, well before the licking and sucking starts, it’s important to establish a safe word as well as a nonverbal way of telling each other when to slow down and when to stop entirely. It doesn’t take long to do so, and this can ensure enthusiastic consent as well as some wet and messy pleasure for both of you.
Oral Sex: Proof That Sucking Doesn’t Always Suck
Real talk: most lovers don’t regularly practice all of the aforementioned oral sex positions. But the key to having plenty of great sex is having plenty of options. With all of these tips and sex positions under your belt, you can put a new spin on familiar sexual pleasures with your favorite partner.
When it comes to oral sex, there’s always someone out there waiting to match your freak. Like, for every gal that dreams of sitting on someone’s face, there’s a guy out there getting hard just thinking about making his face into her very warm and very wet seat. As long as you have great communication with each other and follow the tips here at Know Your Sins, you can make everyone’s favorite sexual activity that much more pleasurable. Remember, everyone, this is the one time that sucking never sucks.
