We all know that there are various sex positions that we all love trying out — that’s a given. But, for whatever reason, one of them isn’t necessarily missionary, as people think it’s too basic or boring when compared to others like doggy or reverse cowboy.

While missionary might not be the most thrilling of sex positions, it shouldn’t be discounted when it comes to effectiveness of giving your girl an orgasm. After all, as we’ve said plenty of times before, the ultimate goal of sex isn’t for the guy to get off — that’s bound to happen (almost) no matter what — it’s to leave the girl moaning and orgasming. But it doesn’t always happen, so we’re here to help all you guys out with that.

So we headed over to our good friends at Cosmopolitan to help us in our quest to make the good ol’ missionary sex position a bit more thrilling. How is it possible? Well, here are some missionary sex positions that are sure to leave your girl moaning and orgasming in no time.

The Tight Squeeze

It may seem counterintuitive, but instead of spreading your legs wider to get more sensation, slide them straight down in between his and press your knees tightly together. He feels bigger, you feel tighter and, if you tip your butt back a little, you can rub against the top of his shaft in an incredible way.

The Buzz Thrill

If you’re just not getting enough stimulation with the classic in n’ out, pop in a couples toy. Look for something wearable, flat-ish (so it fits between you), and featuring dual stimulation – a little something for the clit and some internal vibes for the vag. Plus, it’s triple stimulation if your partner likes vibration on his penis. If you have a female partner, use a wearable toy for both. You can also throw in a double-ended dildo if you so desire. Fire it up, and hang on for dear life!

Flip It Real Good

Flip missionary upside-down. You get on top in the traditional dude position — mimic it exactly. Thrust with your legs between his, holding yourself up on your hands or elbows. It feels great, especially if you have him bend his knees and spread his legs wide open for you.

The Upper Thrust

Plant your feet on the ground and instead of receiving his thrusts, thrust up to him. He can stay still and receive your love as you chose to give it, or eventually push back to switch up the sensations. Try a series of short, shallow thrusts, then a deep, full plunge.

The Ol’ Grind

Get in missionary, then have him slide up so that his pelvic bone is resting conveniently on your clit. Instead of banging away, he grinds and slides against you up so that the base of his penis, his shaft and his pelvic bone work their magic. It’s a bit less stimulating for him, so he will last a little longer as well.

Now, we get it, there are plenty of other sex positions that are probably a bit more wild, but, hey, there’s nothing quite like the original, so missionary deserves another shot. Plus, thanks to these suggestions from Cosmopolitan, the sex will stay hot and be effective in giving her an orgasm; that’s a win-win!
