19 crazy sex positions that have been missing from your life

(Note: While many of these directions reference "you" as the receiving partner, these positions can be assumed by just about anyone.)

X Position

How to: Lie back and have your partner sit facing you, with your legs crossing over each other to form an X.

Why it's great: This is the only "ex" you'll be glad to run into. Also known as the "Crisscross," this crazy sex position requires slow, intimate movement. And you can help your partner go deeper by holding their hands as he thrusts.

Butter Churner

How to: Lie on your back with your legs raised and folded over so that your ankles are on either side of your head, while your partner squats and penetrates you.

Why it's great: Fair warning: Your neck may get a cramp, but for a great orgasm, it's worth the risk. Plus, this seemingly weird sex position lets your partner penetrate even deeper for an awesome sensation. Just tell them to go easy on the thrusts to avoid too much pressure on your upper body.

Pretzel

How to: As your partner is kneeling over you, wrap one leg around his waist while the other leg rests under his butt.

Why it's great: Despite what the name suggests, there's no food involved in this freaky sex position (although, if you're into that, why not up the crazy factor?). Otherwise, this position allows for deep, powerful thrusts, but at a sideways angle that feels totally different and hot.

Spider

How to: Sure, it resembles the crab walk, but in a crazy-sexy way. Your pelvis should be above his while your legs bend to the side of his body.

Why it's great: Since you’re both controlling the movements, you can rock back and forth to get into a satisfying rhythm.

Spork

How to: If you like the Spoon sex position, you'll love the Spork. Instead of lying on your sides, you’ll stay flat on your back while your partner positions their body at a 90-degree angle in between your legs.

Why it's great: Your partner gets to take the reins with this one, and they'll be rewarded with an awesome view of your body-especially your face. (Wild yet intimate-does it really get better than that?) Plus, your hands are free to explore your other erogenous zones.

Snow Angel

How to: This is basically missionary position with an upside-down twist. Lie on your back and have your partner straddle you facing away. Lift your legs and wrap them around their back to elevate your pelvis so they can enter you. Grab your partner's butt to help him slide up and back.

Why it's great: Don't let the ethereal name fool you-this weird sex position will definitely make you feel totally naughty. Plus, from this position, you have easy access to fondle your partner's erogenous zones. Not to mention, your partner's pelvis is perfectly positioned to grind against your clit. Try adding a little sexy butt massage to the mix, too.

Standing Wheelbarrow

How to: Get into the downward dog yoga position, then have your partner sit at the end of a bed, and grab your legs so you can wrap them around their waist.

Why it's great: Warning: This freaky sex position is not for beginners! Think of this as downward dog with even better benefits-the deep-thrusting, G-spot hitting kind. You may only be able to stay in this position for a little bit (hello, arm workout), but it’ll definitely be an experience you’ll remember.

Swiss Ball Blitz

How to: Have your partner sit on a stability ball. Turn away from them and back up onto their lap, sitting between the legs.

Why it's great: Yet another way to use that stability ball. This is similar to reverse cowgirl-except way more weird and fun because you’re both balancing on a workout ball. Since you're on top, you maintain control of the movements, which can be faster and deeper, thanks to the extra buoyancy from the exercise tool.

Waterfall

How to: For this variation of girl on top, have your partner lie with their torso off the edge of bed while you hop on top.

Why it's great: You’ll both love your views and the fact that you’re totally in control. Plus, all the blood rushing to your partner's head will create a mind-blowing sensation during climax.

Cross Buttocks

How to: So you're probably thinking, "wait...how?" But here's how this one's done: Have your partner enter you from missionary position, then slide their legs and chest off your body so their limbs form an "X" with yours.

Why it's great: Why attempt this one? Well, due to the nature of this position, you'll feel more of your partner's body in motion. Plus, you can always reach down to offer a little butt or leg massage while your S.O. thrusts.

Golden Arch

How to: Have your partner sit with his legs straight, and then you sit on top of him with bent knees over his thighs. Then, you both lean back and let the pleasure commence.

Why it's great: Similar to the spider, this head-to-toe position is a great opp to have a full view of each other's bodies. Pro tip: Lean back farther to help this position really hit your G-spot, and have your partner rub your clit at the same time. Blended orgasm, anyone?

Table Top

How to: Hop onto your bed, kitchen counter, bathroom sink-really any surface you happen to be near in the heat of the moment. Then, bring your knees together and twist to one side. Have your partner enter you from this position.

Why it's great: This crazy sex position puts you two at the same level (which is especially great if you're different heights). Plus it's perfect for that I-need-you-right-this-second sexy quickie.

David Copperfield

How to: Place a pillow under your hips. Bend your knees and place them on your partner's shoulders while they perform oral on you.

Why it's great: This weird sex position may not seem quite as WTF-worthy as the others on this list, but let's just say the orgasm result is beyond wild and crazy. The magic here is all in the pillow, placed strategically under your butt. Doing so raises your pelvis to allow a guy to orally stimulate you in the best way possible.

Valedictorian

How to: Such a small modification can make a crazy impact. Lie down in missionary with your partner on their knees, leaning back onto his heels. Raise one leg up against his chest while they enter you.

Why it's great: This creates a tighter experience for both you and your partner, plus it adds a sexy vantage point, as well.

Bridge

How to: Place your feet flat on the bed and raise your hips into the air, while your partner enters you while kneeling between your legs.

Why it's great: If only every vinyasa class ended this way...yoga lovers know Bridge position well, but when you throw a sex partner into the mix it's a whole new level of enlightenment. It's a fun way to up the crazy with standard missionary, plus your partner will be able to reach your clit and breasts for more erogenous stimulation.

How to: Both of you are standing. Bend over and reach toward your shins or toes while your partner enters you from behind.

Why it's great: Because sometimes the bed is just too far...especially if you're both incredibly raring to go. This is a great option for standing sex because it offers a little more balance, and also creates an incredibly tight experience for more friction.

Hovering Butterfly

How to: Give cowgirl an oral twist. Hold onto a wall or headboard for support as you straddle your partner's face.

Why it's great: In this oral position, you can let your partner do their thing, or you can completely take control by having them hold their tongue firm as you move your hips as you please.

69

How to: Bring back classic 69 by having your partner lie down, while you climb on top facing the opposite direction, and perform oral on each other from here. That said, if you want a variation on 69, try doing the same technique, but on your sides.

Why it's great: Whether you go for classic or sideways, 69 is a solid move to incorporate into your go-to sex routine-especially if neither of you have done it before. Plus, you and your partner simultaneously get to receive oral...what could be hotter than that?

How to: Have your partner lie down with one knee bent. With your face away, straddle that thigh and lower yourself down onto him.

Why it's great: Be patient with this freaky sex position. While it might not come naturally the first time, once you master it you won't look back-unless it's to look at your partner. It's a tight fit for both of you-plus it gives you the control, and your partner an amazing rear view. Oh yeah, and that propped up leg is prime for clit stimulation. You're welcome.
