To make them easier to imitate, and to jumpstart your imagination, we've also crafted illustrations of each and every sex position on this list and given you the skinny on just what you can expect from each. Whether you're into slow and steady, fast and furious, or great ways to play orally, you'll find something here to try tonight.

1. Missionary Sex Positions

Ahhh, Missionary. Traditionally considered the "default sex position," Missionary offers lots of advantages to first-timers and people looking for sex that's more on the vanilla side. However, there are lots of slight variations on it that can amp things up in terms of the pleasure, the intensity and the kink factor — for both partners. Check out these Missionary-inspired positions:

1. Missionary

The Missionary position (man on top, couple facing each other) is the most famous and classic of all sex positions. The eye contact, the mild male dominance and the angle of penetration make this a popular one, and odds are, the first time you had sex was in a Missionary position. A very comfortable position that allows for easy thrusting, and an easy pull-out if you’re a man, there’s plenty of benefits to it and it’ll work its way into basically any sexual encounter you find yourself in, at some point.

2. Coital Alignment Technique

Another spin on Missionary, the Coital Alignment Technique (C.A.T.), aka the Frog or the Perfect Position, looks to sacrifice elevation and power for proper positioning. Start in regular Missionary, and then flatten your torso as much possible, while your partner should arch her legs and put her legs on your butt. What you're doing here is targeting the clitoris for more direct rubbing and friction. The pressure you put on her clitoris could help her get to orgasm quicker. You should also be staying nice and deep within her in this position, too, to ensure maximum. In other words, this position is more for her pleasure than yours.
