A seated, face-to-face embrace where partners wrap around each other. It is less about movement and more about closeness, breathing together, and eye contact.

Both partners lie on their sides, one behind the other, like nested spoons. It is one of the most comfortable and low-effort ways to be close.

Lying side by side and facing each other, legs loosely intertwined. Simple, close, and great for eye contact and conversation.

One partner lies on their back while the other faces them from above, supported on hands, elbows, or knees. Often called the missionary position, it is popular for good reason: it is simple, intimate, and easy to adjust.

A variation of the classic face-to-face position with a firm pillow or cushion placed under the hips of the partner lying down. A tiny change that many couples find makes a big difference in comfort.

One partner lies on their back and the other sits or kneels astride them, facing them. The partner on top sets the pace and depth, which makes it a great option for exploring what feels good.

One partner lies back at the edge of the bed while the other stands or kneels on the floor facing them. Using furniture for support makes this comfortable and stable.

A variation of the face-to-face position in which the partner on top shifts their body slightly higher and both move with a slow, rocking motion rather than in-and-out movement. It is often recommended for more shared pleasure and closeness.

One partner lies back near the edge of a bed or table with their legs raised and supported by the partner standing in front of them. It needs a stable surface at the right height.

Both partners kneel, one behind the other, often with the front partner leaning forward onto their hands or a pile of pillows. Variations range from upright and close to leaning forward.

One partner sits on a sturdy armless chair and the other sits on their lap, facing them. It is a close, cuddle-like position that moves the moment out of the bedroom.

Both partners stand facing each other, often leaning against a wall for support. It needs balance and similar heights, or a step to even things out.
