What is the best position during sex⁠?

Susie Tang

It’s the position that you and your partner⁠ find immensely pleasurable at that moment in place and time.

The answer to your question is going to change based on where you are, how you’re feeling, and who you’re with. So you and your partner get to figure out⁠ what’s working and what’s not. If something feels awesome, then feel free to scream out, “YES! Do more of that!” And if whatever happening isn’t happening, you can say, “Whoa, let’s change it to something else.”

Talking about what those ideas are, communicating our feelings honestly, and creating clear limits and honoring them make everyone happier and healthier.
