Doggy<\/h3>\n<p>Doggy Style is a sex position in which the person penetrating stands or kneels behind their partner. The classic form of Doggy Style is when the person who is receiving is on all fours.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3142\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Q1-Campaign_Individual-GIFs_IG-1080x1080-1-1.gif\" alt=\"Doggy sex position GIF\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Missionary<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this position, one partner is on top of the other so that they are face-to-face. The penetrating partner, or the one who\u2019s on top, usually has more control than the partner underneath them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3153\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/missionary-sex-position.gif\" alt=\"Missionary sex position GIF\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. 69<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>69 is a common nickname for when sexual partners give each other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/beginners-guide-to-oral-sex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oral stimulation<\/a> at the same time. The nickname refers to the positions of the bodies fitting together like the shape of the number 69.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3150\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/69-sex-position.gif\" alt=\"69 sex position GIF\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>4. Cowgirl<\/h3>\n<p>Cowgirl<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> position means the partner with the penis or strap-on lies on their back with their legs straight while the other person straddles them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3149\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cowgirl-sex-position.gif\" alt=\"Cowgirl sex position GIF\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>5. Anal<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anal sex is sex where a penis, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/best-sex-toys-and-how-to-use-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sex toy<\/a> or fingers enter the anus. Oral-anal sex is where a person stimulates the anus with their mouth &#8211; this is also known as \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/what-is-a-rim-job\/\">rimming<\/a>\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3146\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/anal-sex-position.gif\" alt=\"Anal sex position GIF\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>6. Reverse Cowgirl<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reverse Cowgirl sees the person receiving penetration sitting on top of their partner, but instead of sitting face-to-face, they face away toward their partner\u2019s feet. The person on top can control the pace, rhythm, and depth of penetration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3151\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/reverse-cowgirl-sex-position.gif\" alt=\"Reverse cowgirl sex position GIF\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>7. Spooning<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Spooning sex position is when you and your partner are laying down, you&#8217;re both on your side and facing in the same direction, with one partner (the rear or big spoon) tucked behind the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3152\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/spooning-sex-position.gif\" alt=\"Spooning sex position GIF\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>8. Eagle<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Eagle sex position is when one partner lies on their back with their legs spread apart, or spread eagle. It&#8217;s said to be similar to Missionary, but with the person lying down having their legs wide and in the air, rather than straight and flat on the bed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3148\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/eagle-sex-position.gif\" alt=\"Eagle sex position GIF\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>9. Amazon<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Amazon position involves one partner lying on their back with their legs positioned similarly to a tabletop, bent and pulled to the chest with knees together, and the other partner squatting down to position their genitals on top of their partner&#8217;s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3145\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/amazon-sex-position-gif.gif\" alt=\"Amazon sex position GIF\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>10. Lotus<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lotus sex position involves one partner sitting cross-legged, and the other facing them, straddling them. Think &#8220;Cowgirl&#8221; position (one person rides on top of the other) but seated upright.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3147\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lotus-sex-position.gif\" alt=\"Lotus sex position GIF\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A special thank you to the following expert:<\/p>\n<p><b>Stella Anna Sonnebaum:<\/b>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stellawithlove.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Stella with Love<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><em>Study methodology<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><i>Using our database, we surveyed nearly 13,000 respondents to find out their sex trends.
