It’s 2019 and honestly, there’s no better time to be a woman. Girl power, body positivity, and a general open door policy to talk about all things feminine is bringing us all just a little bit closer together, on social media and IRL.

And even though the topic of sex will always be considered a little taboo for some, many women are willing to openly talk about sex and share their experiences with others because, well, why not? So, we’ve asked some of those ladies about the best parts of their sex life.

We started with the topic of your favorite sex position, broken out into three categories: what position makes you feel the sexiest, what position gives you your favorite orgasm, and which sex position you’d say is a mutual favorite for you and your partner.

*Names have been changed for privacy purposes*


Hope, Age 27, Partner: Male

Favorite position to feel the sexiest:

“I feel most sexy when I’m on top because I have all the power and I love watching his reaction depending on what I’m doing.”

Favorite position for an orgasm:

“I usually orgasm when I’m on my back with my legs up by his ears because he gets the deepest that way and it feels the most intense for me (I know he likes it, too).”

Favorite position for you and your partner:

“I think the most fun is also when I’m on top because he loves facing me, loves the intimacy, and I love to tease him/pleasure him in controlling the speed and rhythm. I also love the power knowing I get to determine if I want him to finish yet or keep it going.”


Nina, Age 26, Partner: Female

Favorite position to feel the sexiest:

“Having a same-sex partner, the position that makes me feel the most sexy would definitely have to be face sitting --nothing makes me feel sexier than sitting on someone’s face (besides a new outfit).”

Favorite position for an orgasm:

“Same as above!”

Favorite position for you and your partner:

“I’d have to say reclined fingering. And of course, the good ol “69.” That’s always a go to in our bedroom. There’s so much more we can do than the stereotypical scissoring.”


Brittany, Age 25, Partner: Male

Favorite position to feel the sexiest:

“I feel sexiest when I am “on top of the world.” AKA, reverse cowgirl while trying to keep your legs straight like you are laying down. This position is amazing, except it does take practice and skill. It makes me feel sexy when I bounce or whip around to face him and have total control. Plus, it feels really good for the guy and seeing the look on his face makes you want to keep going! It’s visible how good it feels and that’s why I love it.”

Favorite position for an orgasm:

“I think it’s called the sticky scissor (it is, I Googled it). Instead of missionary, it’s a bit more slanted and my legs are at a criss cross while he is thrusting in the position he would be if it was basic missionary. Laying down with support on my back makes for the best orgasm because I find it hard to focus on orgasming when I need to hold myself up/make sure I still look sexy/care about something else. This position allows the woman to care about herself and focus on her own orgasm while the man still has full access and has options to do whatever he wants (kiss you, dirty talk, etc.).”

Favorite position for you and your partner:

“My boyfriend and I like doggy style on the couch for a few reasons. The couch allows for more mobility than the bed, and we can move around and utilize the floor, and there can be more variety. The “humping couch” position feels the best for both of us, where he can thrust as hard or soft as he wants and can stand, kneel and has options to switch it up. It feels good for the female as she can decide similar things; if she wants to put more force onto the guy behind her, or turn around and be on her back or stomach. It’s just like a bed except with more room, more options, and it feels more fun and spontaneous.”


Lauren, Age 19, Partner: Male

Favorite position to feel the sexiest:

“I definitely feel the most sexy riding cowgirl because you can see how it's affecting your partner and it’s so rewarding to see him go crazy. Overall,  it makes you feel so good about yourself, confident, and in control!”

Favorite position for an orgasm:

“I prefer missionary because it’s so intimate with your partner and you can really look at each other and feel so connected on so many levels. Not to mention, I don't really have to do any of the work, and you can kiss each other at the same time!”

Favorite position for you and your partner:

“Most fun for me and my partner is laying down doggy style (so I’m laying on my stomach, not on my knees) because, again, I don't have to do much work, but also it feels so great for the both of us, while still maintaining that intimacy you get from holding each other. My partner really likes my butt, which is a big reason he enjoys that position the most.”


Sarah, Age 26, Partner: Male

Favorite position to feel the sexiest:

“Doggy style, because in this position, I know my body is on point and I love to watch my partner look at my butt and my back!”

Favorite position for an orgasm:

“O position, where I’ve got total control of speed, deepness, rotation, so I can get exactly what I want.”

Favorite position for you and your partner:

“Our favorite is having him on top where he has more control and can lift me and move me around. That part is fun for me --giving him control allows me to hold on and claw/scratch, which I find sexy.”


Elizabeth, Age 39, Partner: Male

Favorite position to feel the sexiest:

“Honestly, I don’t have much of a sex drive (I did in my 20s). But, I feel the most sexy in bed if I have been eating right and working out. I love to wax then shower and put on some cute panties. I can do without the corsets and crazy dressing up --a pair of undies and having my hair and makeup done is how I feel sexy.”

Favorite position for an orgasm:

“On top. It’s basically the only way I will orgasm in bed, but I also like my vibrators and often find them another great way to get a good orgasm.”

Favorite position for you and your partner:

“On top, too. I really only have sex to please my husband! Like I said, I had more of a sex drive in my 20s, whereas now I would be completely happy being abstinent.”
