The passion propeller? 5 sexual positions that won’t result in injury

The lazy girl's guide.

Orlaith Condon

There’ll be none of that Kama Sutra craic here.

When it comes to spicing up our sex lives, we’re often told about all the things we need to add to our routine to make it the so-called ‘best ever’.

Usually requiring some sort of other-worldly flexibility, we’re sick of being told about positions we can’t even imagine, never mind achieve. And thanks to Fifty Shades of Grey, the good old missionary just doesn’t seem to cut it anymore.

Yes, we’re always open to trying new things, but we really don’t want to invest in any apparatus or end up in A&E with some bizarre injury.

However, being lazy doesn’t mean we want to miss out on the rewards.

Here are five positions that require minimal effort for maximum pleasure.

 

1. Curled spoon

It doesn’t get much more comfortable than this – for both of you. Assuming the standard spooning position, you can imagine how things go for there. And bonus, you can nod right off after as you are.

 

2. The plank

Don’t worry, this is the opposite of a workout. Laying flat on your tummy, with your partner laying on your back, this is the ultimate position for those who are just knackered. Don’t worry though, this position might spare you the effort but it won’t hold back when it comes to results.

 

3. Take a seat

Being on top doesn’t have to mean a huge effort on your part. Choosing the right position can give you more control over your pleasure without leaving you feeling like you’ve just done a spin class. Similar to the reverse cowgirl, sit facing away from your partner but instead place your feet in between their legs. This will give you more control and increase the sensation.

 

4. Aerobic leg lift

Remember the video for Call On Me? Well, we’re drawing inspiration from that for this move. Laying flat on your side, raise your outer leg up in the air with your partner sat in between. They get more control and you get to lay back and enjoy.

 

5. Bootyful view

Another position that’s as comfortable for you as it is for them. With your partner sat comfortably, lay on your tummy between their legs, with your legs extending behind them. You can use his feet for leverage and he can sit down and relax – win, win!
