It’s no secret that women find it difficult to orgasm with penetration alone. We need a little something extra to get us off that edge. And this is why boob and nipple play is such a fan-favourite. Unfortunately, people forget about the two fluffy pillows once the sextivities are out of the foreplay stage and into the main act. And this is just sad because boobs can be stimulated in a myriad of ways—each sexier than the other—even during sex. Of course, you have to strategise and put in some planning because if you choose a position like missionary (which is a default setting for a lot of people), you can’t really enjoy boobie play as much because the penetrating partner is too busy trying to keep themselves propped up and supported. With cowgirl, on the other hand, it’s quite possible. In fact, it’s encouraged.
If you don’t know where to start, we’ve listed down a few positions you can try with your partner to get some boob-loving into your sexy time.
The lotus
The lotus is one of the most sensual positions. Its slow and passionate nature teaches you how to enjoy pleasuring your partner. If you’ve not tried it before, consider this your cue to try it immediately. First, the penetrating partner sits on the bed with their legs stretched out. The receiving partner climbs into their lap and wraps their legs around the former’s body. And considering you and your partner are sitting face-to-face, all intertwined and pressed up against each other, you have some easy access to nipple nibbling and sucking. Since it’s a slow position, you can take your time to elevate the boob play to the next level—we’re talking nipplegasms!
When it comes to boob and nipple play, it doesn’t get easier than during cowgirl since the partner being ridden has their hands free to get frisky. They can pinch, squeeze, and whatever else they have in mind. And if they want to use their mouths, you could try sitting cowgirl where the penetrating partner is sitting against something solid (headboard, chair etc) instead of lying down. To get into this position, the partner with the penis (or its equivalent) sits or lies down while the receiving partner gets on top and starts grinding. If it starts to get tiring, try arching forward and using your partner’s chest as leverage to slide up and down.
Spooning
The spooning position doesn’t get half the credit it deserves. There is something so sweet and comfortable about being cuddled by your partner during sex. For this position, both must lie on their sides facing the same direction. The receiving partner brings their knees up slightly while the penetrating partner enters from behind and thrusts. This is also a great position to throw in some boob action by having your partner reach around and stimulate your nips before and during the main act. This will steam up the room in no time!
Don’t go by the name, this position is not as tricky as it sounds. Think of the spork as a mix between spooning and missionary. The receiving partner lies on their back and raises one of their legs to rest it on the penetrating partner’s shoulder, while the latter positions themselves at a 90-degree angle and enters the receiving partner. The person on top can arch forward or remain upright while thrusting.
Considering it’s more or less hands-free, the spork is a brilliant position if you want to elevate boob play from the foreplay to the climax level. And if some hand-to-nipple action is not enough, you could always pull your partner closer so they can use their tongue to transport you into pleasure paradise.
Modified doggy
The regular doggy position might get a tad strenuous for your partner to reach around to fondle your boobs while focusing on what they’re doing. So, we are going to modify the position a little so you get some deep penetration as well as some nipple action. Basically, instead of a bed, you’ll kneel on a sofa or a comfortable chair and rest your arms above your head. Unlike regular doggy, you won’t be fully bent over. This position makes it more accessible for your partner to reach your boobs while thrusting.
