Let’s make it plain: Women are not cumming enough during sex.

It’s a long known fact, explored and evaluated. The frequency varies, depending on who you ask. The Kinsey Institute Blog states that 22 percent of women never reach orgasm during intercourse. Another study published in the National Library of Medicine found that 19 percent of women consistently struggle to climax during intercourse. MADAMENOIRE tried to find information on how frequently men cum during intercourse and couldn’t locate that information. Instead, the first 100 pages of results on Google were all about how men can stop themselves from finishing too quickly. And maybe therein lies the issue with the female orgasm: it’s just not being prioritized.

In order for women to orgasm, over 36 percent need clitoral stimulation, according to a study from the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy. A survey conducted by fertility app Kindara reported on in The Huffington Post found that over 50 percent of women need to feel emotionally connected to a partner in order to orgasm. So, those are two important factors to keep in mind when considering the best sex positions for women. Clitoral stimulation and the opportunity to feel connected are key. Here are several positions to get you started on your journey to busting more nuts.

Ride The D

Also known as a riding the D, this position allows the woman have total control over the depth and speed of penetration. It also lets the woman adjust the angle of her body for more clitoral engagement, and it lets her easily touch her own clit during intercourse.

Boosted Missionary

If you’re aiming for an orgasm purely from penetration, try this position. Lie down on the bed on your back. Then put a pillow or wedge under your butt so that your hips are slightly angled up. When your partner penetrates you in missionary this way, the angle of your body lets your clitoris engage with your partner’s penis more than in the standard missionary position.

Spooning is a great position because it makes it easy for you or your partner to reach in front and stimulate your clitoris. It also creates tons of skin-on-skin contact between your back and your partner’s chest and stomach. Your partner can easily kiss your neck, nibble on your ears and access other erogenous zones back there. You’ll feel emotionally connected, have full-body contact and be able to easily stimulate your clitoris with your hand or your partner’s.

Doggy style does the trick for some women who are into deep penetration. However, it doesn’t give you or your partner easy access to your clitoris. So try this instead. Get up close to a wall. Get on your knees, but place your hands on the wall. Your partner will be behind you on their knees and they can play with his positioning. It can feel good to have your partner get very close, leaning forward and also placing his hands on the wall or over your hands. In this position, you can reach down and stimulate your clitoris, and again, your partner can do some stimulating things to your neck or ears.

SEE ALSO

Limbo

There’s no official name for this position. But, if you were to limbo, you’d ease back and get into it, and this sex position takes just that. Have your partner lie down on their back on the bed. Get in reverse cowgirl position, facing away and slowly lower yourself. From there, with your knees planted in the bed, lean back so that your back is resting on their stomach and chest. This position can feel really good because it stimulates you in many spots, and you can reach down and stimulate your clitoris.

Sex In A Chair

Have your partner sit down in a chair – ideally a large and comfortable one like a loveseat. And get on top facing them. This is one of the best sex positions for women because it gives you control over penetration – just like with girl on top – but it also enables more of a connection because your partner is sitting up and there’s more of a chance to kiss and make eye contact.
