6 Best Positions to Hit Your G-Spot
on May 26, 2025
The G-spot may be the most talked and least understood part of female anatomy. Dr. Ernst Gräfenberg is credited with discovering this erogenous zone in the 1940s (hence the name G-spot), but he probably wasn’t the first. Indian scripts from the 11th century mention something similar.
In the decades (or centuries) since, countless people have gone on quests to find their own. The G-spot may be tricky to locate, but the intense orgasms can be worth it.
Whether you’re finding it for the first time ever or the first time this week, here are the six best positions to hit your G-spot – with tips for making each one even better!

What to know before you try G-spot sex positions
Looking for your G-spot is an art not a science; where it is and what kind of touch it reacts to can be different for everyone. Don’t get upset if it takes a few tries – even failed attempts may end in orgasms!
What is the G-spot?
There’s still some debate about what the G-spot is. Today, most experts believe it’s an area underneath the front wall of the vagina, where you can stimulate a network of clitoral nerves. (Yes, the clitoris runs much deeper than we can see.) When looking for your G-spot, think of it not as an anatomical part but as an erogenous zone.
Where’s the G-spot?
The G-spot is on the front wall of your vagina about two inches from the opening. If you’re lying on your back, it’s under your stomach somewhere between your belly button and the entrance to your vagina. If you run a finger along the vaginal wall, you might feel a different texture, a little bumpy or rough.
Don’t be too worried about whether you found THE spot. If it feels good, you found your spot.

How to pleasure your G-spot
First you have to find yours. You can do this on your own or with a partner. Put a finger in your vagina facing the front of your body and hook it forward like you’re telling someone to “come here.” (This might go without saying, but make sure that the finger is clean and add some lube so that it slips in easily.)
Once you’ve found it, apply some gentle pressure, wiggle your finger around, or try a sex toy. There are tons of dildos and vibrators that are curved in just the right way to reach your G-spot.
If you can’t find one special spot or you find it but don’t like the sensation, that’s okay. There are a lot of other ways to achieve mind-blowing orgasms (cough, cough, the clit, cough, cough).
Why does it feel like you need to pee?!
Some people feel like they have to pee if someone gets near their G-spot. It makes sense. The G-spot is close to your urethra and pushing on it may send the wrong signal.
You might also be part of the 40% of women who can squirt. Experts aren’t sure why some people squirt and others don’t, but they do know that what comes out isn’t pee. So don’t worry, you might feel like you’re going to pee but you probably won’t!

Six best positions to hit your G-spot
Whether your partner has a penis or you’re using a sex toy, penetration is the best way to find the G-spot and pleasure it. Grab the lube before you play: it’ll make penetration feel smooth and sensual and prevent any irritating friction.
Here are some of the best penetration positions for G-spot orgasms.
Flat Doggy
In this variation of Doggy Style, the receiver is lying comfortably on their stomach, rather than on all fours.
If you’re the receiver, raise your hips and put your butt on the air so your partner can find the right angle for penetration. Then lie down slowly together and let gravity (and the weight of the person on top) do some of the G-spot work.
Hot tip
This position is very popular with people on the Lovehoney Forum, and they’ve got a couple of tips for how to make it better. Firstly, try putting pillows under the receiver’s hips to help angle their pelvis just right. You can also switch up the leg position:
“We find with my partner on her front, legs together and me with my legs either side of hers, like Doggy [but] with her laying down, works every time for us,” says @Graeme90. With the legs close together, you might find the vagina feels even tighter, increasing pressure on the G-spot.
Cowgirl
While the penetrating partner reclines, the receiving partner straddles them with their knees on either side. If you’re on top, you might need to guide the penis or strap-on inside you.
Lean back on your hands to make sure the penis or strap on touches the front wall of the vagina where the G-spot is located. This classic woman on top position allows the Cowgirl to find the right spot and control the pressure (and the speed).
Hot tip
Just because we’re looking to hit the G-spot doesn’t mean we should forget about the clitoris. This position gives you room to press a finger or a sex toy (like a clit sucker) against the clit for some direct stimulation. If Cowgirl isn’t comfortable or you want something new try straightening your legs out over your partner’s shoulders in the Starfish sex position.
Missionary
This is one of the most popular sex positions. We get that it might seem basic but hear us out. With a little variation, the Missionary position can actually be a good way to get to that special spot.
Try it with pillows under the receiving partner’s butt. At that angle, the penis will slide past the G-spot with every thrust. The receiving partner can also straighten their legs, which makes the vagina a little tighter and the thrusts feel more powerful.
Hot tip
This is another position that lends itself to added clitoral attention. Try a couple’s toy like the We-Vibe Sync 2. The internal arm slips inside the vagina, intensifying G-spot pleasure while leaving room for a penis or strap-on. The rest of the toy stays outside on the vulva for direct clitoral stimulation. It’s a win-win situation.
Pillow Princess
Lie down, lift your legs up, and get ready for some pleasure. There are so many ways you could go with this position.
Your partner could cozy up behind you and help hold your legs up while they penetrate (a penis or a strap on works well). Or they could come a little lower and let a sex toy and their tongue do the job.
Hot tip
This is great position for experimenting with the many sex toys that have been designed with the G-spot in mind. Whether it’s a dildo or a vibrator, if it has a little curve to it, it has been made for just this task. Or you could use a rabbit vibrator; the shaft goes in to find the G-spot while a curved arm or “bunny ears” stay out to play with clitoris.
Lotus
The penetrating partner sits on the ground with legs out in front. The other partner climbs on top like they’re giving a big koala bear hug.
Wrapping around each other like this gives tons of skin-to-skin contact which, among other things, releases oxytocin (the bonding hormone). And the angle lets the penis or strap-on hit at just the right place for a G-spot orgasm.
Hot tip
Subtle changes to this position can make it even more likely to reach the G-spot. If you can stand to stop hugging for a few minutes, have the receiving partner lean backwards and put weight on their hands. Wearing a butt plug will intensify every movement with delicious internal pressure – start with a small plug and always use lube.
Crossed Lovers
You need to be a little bendy for this one, but it can be worth it. The receiver should lie on their back with their legs folded in toward their body and crossed over each other.
The giver kneels in front and penetrates their partner and then lowers themselves onto all fours. This position helps put the penis or strap on at the best angle for G-spot orgasm.
If the receiver is limber, they can throw their legs over their partner’s shoulders and cross them at the ankles. This offers even deeper penetration.
Hot tip
Here’s another place where a couple’s sex toy could add to the fun. Consider a vibrating cock ring, which slips over the penis and provides direct clitoral stimulation. Slather the ring with lube and slide it over a semi erect penis before you play.
Keep looking
These aren’t the only positions with G-spot potential. If you’re interested in exploring this erogenous area some more, try the Side-by-Side sex position or the Starfish.
There’s also a world of sex toys to explore! Look out for C-shaped couple’s toys like the ones from We-Vibe as these can be worn during penetrative sex. The internal arm will stimulate your G-spot while the external arm targets the clit for irresistible dual stimulation.
