  • Hot dog
  • Missionary position

With all the searching for the one true sex position, the question arises as to what this position should be the best for: For the best orgasm, the most comfortable feeling, the hottest sight, the most intimate closeness, the greatest comfort, the play with power and submission? It's always in the eye of the beholder. And we realize that there are considerable differences in what we want. For the sake of simplicity, let's take a woman's orgasm as a benchmark. There really is a kind of ranking. But every woman feels differently and so one may agree with me and the other may throw her hands up in the air. Each couple also develops their own choreography. While some dance the waltz all the time, others try out every dance style, no matter how exotic.

I have picked out what I think is the most suitable position for everyone:

The riding position

When the woman swings herself into the saddle to turn into the home straight on her partner, she has the best chance of ending it with an opulent climax. Because she literally has the reins in her hands, determines the tempo, the depth, the type of movement and the duration. Yes, gentlemen, even the duration. So hold back as much as you can while your lady is still in full swing. Like a jockey, she can bend forward, throw herself back, squat down and even turn her pretty backside towards you. The clitoris is open for all kinds of stimulation. Your lover can rub it against her partner's pubic bone. She can use her hands, his hands or a sex toy. Just as she pleases. Thumbs up for the best orgasm!

The spooning position

Wonderful! As a woman, you lie snuggled up warmly with your back and bottom against your partner's chest and stomach. Especially in the morning hours, his expectantly erect morning lance can inconspicuously make its way through her buttocks. If she accidentally puts one leg up or wraps it backwards around his legs, she makes him understand her desire. And yay, there it is, the clitoris! Free for his or her fingers or the sex toy from the previous evening. He can also hold her in his arms and gently caress her breasts. Due to the angle at which the penis slides into the vagina, it also accidentally touches the G-spot. What could possibly stand in the way of a wonderful orgasm? This position is also something for the very comfortable, as it doesn't involve any complicated acrobatics and is easy on the joints. You can be tightly entwined together for hours. Thumbs up for the greatest comfort and the most cozy feeling of well-being!

Doggy style

This is where a little more acrobatics come into play. At least for the woman, who presents herself to her lover like a puppy with her arms raised or bent. He gets the very best view of her bottom and pubic area while he penetrates her from behind on his knees. That turns him on. But she also gets her money's worth by following his movements. If she bends forward, she withdraws from him. If she thrusts her hips towards him, he pushes himself even deeper into her. She also determines the angle of his penetration by tilting her pelvis. Her breasts swing in the air and again the path to the clitoris is clear for both of them. You should also lie flat on your stomach. When she now moves her pelvis, she rhythmically tenses her pelvic floor muscles. An orgasm can hardly be held back! Incidentally, this position is also the most popular for anal sex. And here, too, many a woman reaches orgasm. Some men do too. Thumbs up for the hottest sight!

Hot dog

Very comfortable lovers don't need to read any further at this point, because it gets a bit more sporty. And hot, as the name suggests. What we still have is a little game of power and submission. Because she lies on her back in front of him and stretches her legs far back towards his ears. What a sight it is for him! He can only get up to speed! Now he lies down with his upper body on her legs and penetrates her deeply. Both of their upper bodies surround her legs like the two sides of a sausage roll. She can barely move, as he is lying on top of her with his entire weight. This feeling of being at his mercy can be quite a turn-on. And when you're turned on, it's easier to climax. In this position, his penis rubs against her G-spot with every movement. And it's up to her to touch her little pearl of pleasure. Thumbs up for playing with power and submission!

Missionary position

This is probably the Germans' most popular position. However, the fact that I list it in last place is not due to its popularity but to the fact that it is somewhat more difficult for women to reach orgasm. "Missionary position" sounds so innocent. And it is probably the position in which two lovers are most likely to melt into each other in an intimate embrace. She lies on her back with her legs spread apart. He lies on top of her, kneeling between her legs. He can support his upper body with his hands or on his elbows. And if he is not too heavy, he may even lie on top of her for a while. She feels safe and can hug him. Their eyes sink into each other, they look into each other's souls while the pleasure comes. Slow thrusts alternate with short ones. When he stands up with his upper body wide open, her clitoris is within reach for both of them. However, this is a position that requires some muscle strength. So let's weigh it up: Comfort and closeness versus orgasm. Thumbs up for the most intimate closeness!
