Oral Sex Positions to Explore Together

Sometimes, the hottest upgrade to oral sex is simply changing the angle. A small shift in position can unlock a whole new level of comfort, control, and a mouthwatering experience.

Whether oral is your favourite course or part of the whole menu, these playful positions can help keep things exciting.

01 The Standing Ovation

Sometimes passion doesn’t make it all the way to the bedroom. And that’s part of the fun! This standing position is perfect for those can’t-keep-your-hands-off-each-other moments, bringing a bold, spontaneous energy as long as both partners feel comfortable and supported.

02 The Lazy 69

Mutual pleasure? Yes please. This side-by-side take on 69 keeps all the fun of the classic, but with a little less effort and a lot more comfort. It’s intimate, playful, and much easier to relax into. Which means you can focus less on balancing and more on enjoying yourselves.

03 The VIP Seating

This position is all about getting comfortable while giving one partner the spotlight. Take your time, check in with each other, and enjoy the best seat in the house.

04 The Splash Session

Who says the shower is just for getting clean? With warm water, close quarters, and plenty of built-in anticipation, this position can turn an everyday rinse into a seriously steamy session.

Just remember that wet surfaces can be slippery, so take it slow and make comfort a priority. And keep in mind that while water can add to the mood, it’s not a substitute for lubricant.

05 The Tried-and-True Classic

Some positions stick around for a reason. One partner lies back, the other gets comfortable between their legs, and from there, it’s all about finding the pace, pressure, and little extras that make it feel amazing.

Make It Even More Fun

Finding your favourite position is only half the adventure. Here are a few easy ways to make any setup even better:

Get comfortable with pillows or cushions.
Take your time instead of rushing.
Mix in hands or sex toys for extra sensation.
Use flavoured lube if you want to add a tasty twist.
Check in with each other! A simple "Does this feel good?" can be one of the sexiest questions you ask.

THE BEST POSITION?

Let's get one thing out of the way.

There's no "best" oral sex position. The best one is the one that leaves both of you smiling... and maybe wondering why you didn't try it sooner.

Trying something new doesn’t have to mean getting complicated. Sometimes all it takes is a fresh position, a playful attitude, and a willingness to explore what feels good together.
