Cosmopolitan | The Best Sex Positions for Deep Penetration

Are You Ready to Go Deep? Here Are Some Great Sex Positions for Deep Penetration

As Jill mentions, when it comes to orgasms, the clit gets most of the glory. That should be no surprise if you're a regular reader of our site, because the clitoris is much more than just that little button on the outside - it has long "legs" that wrap around the uterus and extend upward several inches into your abdomen. She continues:

Beyond just feeling really damn good, deep penetration—the kind that you feel all the way inside you, almost hitting your cervix—is also a way to bond intimately and emotionally with your partner. How deep you want to/can go depends entirely on your own preferences!

How to Enjoy Deep Penetration Safely

In the article I stress that deep penetration should not be painful. Here are some quick tips which are delved into more deeply in the Cosmo article:

• Start by having your partner ease their way into you.
• Give your partner feedback along the way.
• If it still feels like too much, try shifting your position a little.

And if modifying your position doesn't help, using a product like the OhNut can reduce the depth of penetration. A thick penis ring can do the trick, too. Jill chimes in:

Remember: Deep penetration isn’t for everyone. If you suffer from endometriosis, have an inverted uterus, or any other condition that makes deep penetration too painful, feel free to move along to something more comfortable!

So if you feel you are ready to go deep, here are some positions to get you started!

• The Titanic
  Switch up the angle on your basic missionary by having the receiving partner lie on their back, knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
• Couch Worship
  Take advantage of your couch by having the receiving partner kneel before it, fully supporting the top half of their body on the cushion. The penetrating partner kneels behind them for modified doggy. “The giving partner has their hands free to hold around the receiving partner's hips,” she says. If they want to hold a clit-sucking toy with those free hands, all the better.
• The Sit and Get
  Another one where the couch comes in handy—the receiving partner lies back on the cushion while the penetrating partner kneels on the floor. The giving partner has access to the clitoris, breasts, and other sensitive areas. To go deeper, the receiver can wrap their legs around their partner’s hips and pull ‘em in deep, real deep.
