Spice Things Up: Advanced Sex Techniques for Couples and Singles

Sex techniques often help achieve greater emotional intimacy as well, giving couples the ability to strengthen their emotional bond with one another, enjoy new sensations, and build greater trust. These methods include ways to learn your body’s sensitive areas, rhythmic movements, and creative techniques to explore stimulation. All of this is foreplay, a crucial but underappreciated part of human intimacy that sets you up for a good physical connection by creating a build-up and encouraging relaxation. Activities like sensual massages, gentle teasing, and focused oral play allow partners to discover each other’s pleasure centers while arousing them.

There is no such thing as having perfect sex techniques; they are about discovery, experimentation, and connection. With communication where no one gets hurt in the process, both partners enjoy the act of reaching orgasm. Let the fun and excitement be what can become the most unforgettable experience between partners to enrich their relationship.

Rocking Horse

The rocking horse will be your new favorite for G-spot stimulation and intimate eye contact. In this position, the receiving partner sits between the penetrating partner's legs, their legs wrapped around them (but you can switch this up if you want to go full koala!) You can even do the position with your partner's hands handcuffed. And BDSM sex toys are also available.

Why we love it: Interestingly, in the rocking horse, both partners rock into one another, allowing quite a range of control over penetration depth while still keeping you both very close. It can be as soft or sexy (or both!) as you like.

Standing Up Full-Frontal

Something that always seems like a better idea in theory? Like shower sex. It's great for those early mornings when you have to wake up early and keep things clean, though depending on how big your shower and tub are and how often your roommates might come over (oops), this position can sometimes make you feel awkward. But if you can close your door and take a few quiet moments, it's totally doable.

If you have a bench or the wide edge of the tub, here's a position—the penetrating partner stays on the floor with both feet (in this position they have to keep their balance!). The penetrating partner penetrates them from the front, lifting one leg so they can wrap it around their partner or place it on the sides of the tub. Just add water.

Why it's great: When done correctly, there's something very alluring and intoxicating about being intimate with the water running through your bodies while having shower sex. This upright position allows both partners to set the pace, and since you're already standing, you can easily move to dry land when the hot water runs out.

Each sex technique is like a tool to create memorable moments (or experiences!) of discovery, connection, and passion, reminding us that intimacy is as much about creativity and communication as it is about physical contact.

No matter whether partners prefer a slow and intimate approach or exciting and adventurous experimentation, the path taken can be as important as the goal—shared moments help strengthen the bond and create memories that will last a lifetime.
