The 20 most romantic sex positions

Sometimes your sex life needs a little less raunch and a big dose of old school romance.

With busy lives, it's easy to get caught up in our standard sex routines meaning that, sometimes we don't put the effort in to make the most of our partners.

Staring into each other's eyes and taking it slow can make all the difference; actually having that emotional connection with your other half is proven to improve your orgasms. 

1. The Fantastic Rocking Horse

Rachel says that a great way to get a bit of romance in your relationship is to make eye contact.

With this in mind any position where you are looking directly at your partner will be extra passionate.

She suggests: "Straddle him in a kneeling position, woman on top, with a slow rhythmic (not fast and furious) riding movement. Your partner is in a sitting position. Alternate with hand positions, and run your hands over his shoulders or head when kissing him.

"Let him feel your breathing on his lips as you moan, reaching climax. You can rub your breasts over his chest as he clasps your hips. It's about both getting your breathing to be in sync too. Keep you bodies close together."

Not only will you get maximum clitoris action and a great angle for your G spot, he will get a total eyeful too.

2. The Slide

You can move the girl on top down to a slower, saucier pace by making your partner lie down as you lower yourself on top of him.

This is pretty much the missionary position but with you on top which makes it that little bit hotter.

Now you have plenty of time to kiss whilst your bodies move together. Plus he can get his hands on that great arse of yours and help rotate your pelvis for maximum chance of orgasming together.


3. The Nirvana

It wouldn't be a romantic sex position round-up without mentioning the missionary position would it?

This is the favourite position of many a couple - easy, intimate and sexy.

All you have to do is lie on your back and let him lie on top of you, straddling his legs on either side of your body. From here he can thrust away while you meet his thrusts with your pelvis.

Try asking your partner to run his fingers through your hair as you kiss. You also have the option to play with his bum in this position, as well as gently running your fingers up his back for the sexiest sensations.


4. The Padlock

Now we're getting into more adventurous territory so make sure you have a sink, chair or kitchen surface ready for this.

Rachel says: "This starts off romantic with an added twist of naughtiness. In this position the man holds the woman as if she's just jumped into his arms. He can be on a chair or edge of the bed.

"With her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck, this loving position is conducive to slow movements, passionate kisses and romantic swaying.

"He can put his hands on her butt, lift her up as she thrusts her hips up and down. It allows her to be sensual and also naughty, as she can choose to whisper dirty words into his ear, being naughty whilst romantic to help both reach climax."

You can lean back for extra depth too...


5. The Ascent to Desire

If you fancy stepping it up a notch then why not try the Ascent to Desire. Basically start off like the previous position but have your man pick you up into his arms.

He now has his hands on your bum and you can can lean back as you grind up against him in mid-air while you kiss.

We think the fact your man can carry your weight is a pretty big turn-on in itself.


6. The Suspender

So if you get a bit tired of the Ascent, make him rest against the wall for support.

You can get extra energy here by bending your legs at a right angle to the wall and using it to bounce you up and down. He can use his hands on your bum to lift you too. Work together to make a rhythmical and romantic sex session.

If you want, you can then change this position and make him rest you against the wall so that he can get extra deep inside you.
