Stolen moments of intimacy can be increasingly hard to come by when you’re shuffling kids around, trying to get some work done, and maybe even practicing a little bit of self-care. While date night is definitely a complicated thing to execute in our non-stop lives, it doesn’t mean you can’t come up with some out-of-the-box ways to have some kid-free intimate time and have sex with your partner with the spaces and tools available to you. You can schedule an early morning or late night rendezvous in your home, of course (and we promise scheduling sex is way hotter than it sounds), but in a pinch, you can also consider that old reliable location from your teenage years: your car.

Having sex in the car is super hot — mostly because it kind of brings you back to those teenage days of making out in the backseat somewhere, terrified (or thrilled by) the idea of being caught and scrappily making it work for some intimacy with your crush. As a adults, we presumably have a bit more privacy than we did as teenagers, but car sex is still as tantalizing as ever — and, especially for those of us with kids at home, it gives you that extra bit of separation from the responsibilities so you can truly relax. Your car is also a contained space that tests you and your partner’s ability to get each other off efficiently and gives you a lot of access to one another.

But, let’s be real, getting it on in a vehicle can be tricky and not all that comfortable if you aren’t as spry as your 18-year-old self was. (Ever smacked your tailbone too hard on a seat belt? Ouch.) But the right car sex position, along with some satisfying sex toys, can totally rock your world and leave some devastatingly hot memories for next time you run errands. Ahead, check out our favorite, expert-approved car sex positions you don’t have to be a teenager to pull off, and give them a whirl next time you’ve got a moment to park and play. Just don’t blame us if an officer taps his flashlight on your fogged-up window.

At SheKnows, we recognize that not all penetrating partners are male and not all receiving partners are female. For the sake of this article, the experts we spoke to referred to penetrating partners as men and receiving partners as women.

There are all sorts of ways to have sex with all sorts of biological (and store-bought) equipment — and not all of them are about orgasms. That’s just a fact of life. But for many people vaginas (especially those who have sex with cis-men), having an orgasm when they do really want one can be a bit of a challenge. The infamous “orgasm gap” really does exist, says Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn (aka Dr. Tara), a sex and relationship coach, sex expert on TikTok, and professor of relational and sexual communication at California State University Fullerton. “Heterosexual women experience the least amount of orgasms,” she tells SheKnows, explaining that one of the main reasons for the gap is lack of arousal. “There’s a lack of foreplay, lack of mental stimulation, and lack of clitoral stimulation.”

That definitely doesn’t have to be the case, though — in fact, it shouldn’t be, sex coach Jenna Switzer tells SheKnows. “Vulva owners have an entire organ dedicated to experiencing sexual pleasure,” she says, but“historically, a penis owner’s pleasure has been the goal. We see this idea perpetuated in many ways, including through porn.”

Today, though, we’re here to empower you to take charge the next time you and your S.O. are in the bedroom with what experts have determined to be the five best sex positions for a guaranteed orgasm for vagina-owners. “Guarantee” is a big word and, of course, bodies are all different and orgasms are complicated and personal. How and what makes you orgasm “can vary from day to day based on physical, environmental, and energetic factors,” Switzer notes. Generally relaxing (tense muscles are orgasm kryptonite) and exploring your own body and sensitive spots are also helpful. But having a few go-to positions that grind and hit the right parts (clitoris! G-spot!) can do wonders, and make it a lot easier to coach your partner into getting you off. Depending on your tastes and the kind of stimulation that makes you happiest, these are positions that shouldn’t disappoint.

Click through to find out what these positions entail and exactly how to pull them off. You won’t regret it.

In the wonderful world of sex and sex positions, there’s getting down and then there’s getting down. For connoisseurs of a good sensual romp — we’re talking about our true believers, scholars, and geeks when it comes to sex and sexuality — there’s always a sexy new position, sensation, or experience to try out with your partners for any occasion (some new sex toys can heat things up too). There are plenty of ways to make sure that no two nights in are exactly the same, whether you’re playing solo or with a partner or two.

Don’t get us wrong; we’re always down for a casual quickie or some moderately augmented missionary to give a quick O, but why not branch out and take things to a whole new level? After all, your sex life is a living, breathing and evolving thing that deserves a bit of TLC to keep you and your partner(s) entertained and satisfied. Sometimes all it takes is a brand-spanking-new position to get the party started and to reignite some important conversations about what feels best in the act. (And remember, it’s okay if those things change or if you just want to test something out!) Speaking of spankings, you can throw one of those in for good measure too, if that’s what you’re into.

We also know you’re busy and you don’t want to waste that precious alone time researching impossible pretzel-like contortions to try out (though workout recovery can double as sex recovery if your back is paying for your creativity and ambition in the bedroom).

So to help inject some creativity into your sex life, we’ve compiled 69 fun positions we think you should try ASAP (along with some sweet and guaranteed-to-please old faves). Ironically, good old-fashioned 69 isn’t on this list — but don’t worry, we’ve got a separate run-down of different ways to 69, too.

So here you go: 69 (nice) sex positions to try out. Be safe, be smart, and have fun!
