Lesbian Sex Positions for a Wet and Wild Time

by Lovehoney

on Jul 3, 2025

One big benefit of sapphic love is that statistically, lesbians have more orgasms than straight women. Obviously, the lack of country boy quitters in the game helps, plus there’s more focus on the clitoris. STILL, you might find yourself limited on lesbian sex positions, looking for a creative spark.

Maybe your long-term partnership needs a change-up from “you go down, she goes down, you fall asleep rewatching old episodes of Sailor Moon.” Or you’re new to lesbian sex (welcome!) and eager to learn. Whatever your pleasure, we're here to deliver. Below, you’ll find 11 lesbian sex positions to reach new climaxes (and enjoy the journey there).

1. The Peach

Get in position: Good news for yoga girlies: Puppy Pose has properly prepared you for The Peach. The receiver gets on all fours and raises their rear. Then, the giver kneels behind and leans in to deliver the most lavish oral sex.

Why it feels good: From behind you can easily perform cunnilingus or analingus without much adjusting.

Everything is right there in full view of the giver, and for the receiver, well, you get to enjoy all that extra attention to your erogenous zones.

Moan-worthy tip: “Using a pillow support can make the receiver more comfortable,” says Javay da BAE, a sex educator at Lovehoney. “If you want to experience multiple sensations at once, a butt plug works great for internal vibration during external stimulation,” Javay adds.

2. The Lazy Pretzel

Get in position: Lie down next to each other, with one partner’s back to the other’s chest. If you’re the little spoon, drape one leg around the big spoon’s side and one in-between their legs.

Big spoon, bring your top thigh between the little spoon’s legs and hug them close.

Why it feels good: Not only is The Lazy Pretzel deliciously intimate, it allows you to use your hands and mouth on multiple erogenous zones. If you’d like to take a long, delicious voyage towards a blended orgasm (i.e. an orgasm that comes from multiple kinds of stimulation) you can kiss up your lover’s throat, lick their ear, or engage in some nipple play.

Moan-worthy tip: This one’s all about slow, sensual tribbing – but that might not be for you! For strap-on queens, the classic Pretzel may work better: Have the top straddle the bottom’s lower leg while seated in an upright position instead of laying down.

3. The Kinky Pretzel

Get in position: If you’re into handcuff sex positions, this twist on The Pretzel (I know, I know, it was right there) should be your speed.

Here, the bottom is secured in hand and/or leg restraints, knees draped to the side. Then, the top will want to…well, you have multiple options. Let’s get into them.

Why it feels good: Since the cuffs will keep the bottom’s legs bound together, you’ll experience a snug and unique sensation during penetration with a strap-on. But you can also get off from tribbing (the top can rub their sweet spots on their lover’s butt), fingering, or using a dildo to sensually penetrate the bottom partner.

Moan-worthy tip: Ever tried the Kivin Method, a.k.a sideways oral? It’s a breeze at this angle and can feel deliciously new. The receiving partner should keep their legs close to their chest (wrist to thigh restraints can help with that) as this will open up their lower half for licking and kissing. Play around with the positioning, as the giver might prefer to kneel on the floor next to the bed. The endgame? A lickity-split orgasm.

4. Lazy Sixty-Nine

Get in position: To revitalize one of the most popular sex positions, start with one of you lying on their side in bed.

The other person should crawl in the opposite direction so you can both put your head between your lover’s legs. Proceed merrily with coordinated cunnilingus.

Why it feels good: You get simultaneous pleasure without any of the cons of the OG Sixty-Nine position. No neck strain, no bickering about who’s on top, and no trying to navigate a serious height difference (the taller partner can just curl up in a C shape). This variation also allows you to nestle in and get a grip on all the most supple parts of your sweetie.

Moan-worthy tip: “Adding in some flavored lube is a great way to keep you coming back for more of a delicious low-effort meal,” says Javay. “You can also use toys on your partner with ease because you aren't having to hold up your body weight.” This might be a fun time (and convenient angle) to play with some anal beads while you’re going down on your partner. And vice versa!

5. The Spider

Get in position: Sit facing each other with your legs spread. Stay here to watch each other masturbate or hook opposite legs over each other’s hips, bringing your vulvas close together. Maintain eye contact while you caress each other’s thighs, breasts, and vulvas.

Why it feels good: This mutual masturbation position is core-to-core collaborative effort!

Choose if you want to build the tension by keeping a little distance between you while you watch each other get off – or raise the heat by getting as close together as you possibly can. You can also try this as a penetration position, just grab a double-ended dildo.

Hot tip: Mutual masturbation is a billion times sexier when you say things like “you look so good when you do that” or “I want to see you come” – so don’t be shy! You can also press a small-but-mighty massage wand between your vulvas and enjoy the vibrations as one. This will feel even better with a slick of lube, letting you slip and slide together.

6. Thigh Master

Get in position: If you're a giver but desperately need to give your mouth a break, the Thigh Master is an excellent alternative.

The giver lies on their back, keeping one leg bent and their foot flat on the bed. The receiver straddles their lover’s bent leg and grinds up against it.

Why it feels good: There’s a lot of direct clitoral stimulation with this tribbing position, even more-so if you spread the labia apart while riding. Research shows that women can reach orgasm much more easily with clitoral stimulation. Also, with a thigh, you have a larger base to stimulate all areas of the vulva, so those uber-sensitive nerve endings will get a major workout.

Moan-worthy tip: Get extra aroused before you saddle up by dabbing an orgasm booster on your clitoris. These gels typically use natural ingredients to increase blood flow to the vulva, turning you on with little tingles and heightened sensitivity. One for you both to enjoy!

7. Crab-tie

Get in position: If you’re feeling crafty you can do a crab tie with bondage rope by bounding your partner’s legs to their ankles, or enjoy the ease of strapping them into thigh, wrist, and ankle restraints.

The giver will crouch in front of her partner and either manually or orally (or both!) work her into a frenzy.

Why it feels good: As the submissive you’ll be spread wide open for whatever pleasure your partner wants to give, while deliciously limited. Or as the dominant partner, you’re given a lot of control, especially if the game of “you’ll come when I want you to come” is a MAJOR turn on.

Moan-worthy tip: The dominant partner can use a rabbit vibrator to tease the vulva externally with a slow, upward motion. Then, when her lover is ready to burst, switch to penetration following the upward curve of the toy, letting the “ears” tickle her clitoris. Did you know you can also use rabbit toys anally? The ears of the toy will stimulate the perineum labia at the same time. Neat.

8. Flat Doggy

Get in position: For this variant on Doggy Style, the bottom is going to want to lie comfortably on their stomach; maybe give your hips a little lift so your partner can find the right entry for penetration. Try it with a softer, flexible strap-on dildo to avoid any discomfort. Then, the top will enter from behind, and you’ll both slowly lower yourself to the bed, crashing down to Erotic City.

Why it feels good: Flat Doggy is one of the most popular G-spot sex positions; not only does feel a little more intimate than classic Doggy, but it creates pressure on the front of the vagina, hitting the G-spot and stimulating the clitoris externally at the same time.

Moan-worthy tip: If the strap on is a little out of reach tonight, the Flat Doggy can be done with some fine fingerwork. If you’re the one on the bottom, lift yourself up ever so slightly, and have your partner rub or penetrate you behind with their fingers. And if you’re missing out on clit stimulation while (or without penetration), you can fit in a small sex toy like a bullet vibe.

9. The Worshipper

Get in position: The receiver stands up and props their leg up on a chair, the edge of a bath, maybe a surprisingly sturdy antique ottoman made of blue velvet upholstery – some structure that improves stability.

The giver kneels and pays the appropriate lip service to her lover.

Why it feels good: Standing while your lover kneels elevates the typical pillow princess to queen real quick. It’s a solid introductory pose if you’d like to introduce a Dom/sub dynamic into your sex life (consider a little hair grabbing and, mmm, directing this scenario), or you can keep the tone tender and affectionate.

Moan-worthy tip: The position is primed for an adoring gaze upwards, and a little bit of eye contact can go a long way here. Lest we forget, research shows that eye contact can boost intimacy, attraction and arousal between two people. So, one of you can start slow by kissing up your partner’s leg during foreplay, maintaining that gaze, and as you’re performing oral, occasionally return to meaningful eye contact with your partner.

10. Queening

Get in position: The giver will lie down comfortably in bed, while the receiver straddles their partner’s face.

If it’s getting intense, don’t worry, you can always lean up against a headboard for stability!

Why it feels good: Queening or face sitting is one of those sex positions that work extremely well in pairings where the one person gets off on giving, and the other is more than happy to receive. With face sitting, the receiver has the option to take control of the angle, to fondle their lover (if taking a backwards position) or to do absolutely nothing.

Moan-worthy tip: To introduce an element of kink, tie your lover to the bed and put on a pair of crotchless panties before getting on your throne.

11. The Door Jammer

Get in position: It shouldn’t be too complicated to set up your swing, but trust that this isn’t something you’ll want to figure out in the heat of the moment.

If you’re a giver at heart, you could run your lover a bath and let them relax in it while you get the swing ready. Once installed, help the bottom partner hop into the seat, with a foot in each stirrup.

Why it feels good: Versatility! With one lover in the swing, spread and ready, the giver can turn up with a strap-on or kneel down to lick their lover to climax. For the receiver, there’s something uniquely thrilling about being suspended while in the throws of passion.

Moan-worthy tip: “Adding in a wand for direct [clitoral] stimulation during penetration is really fun,” says Javay. “You can also add in some sensation play with a blindfold, to really build the anticipation.” Wearing a blindfold can heighten your other senses, meaning that vibrations and sultry licks all feel more intense.
