The weather is getting colder by the minute, so consider this your sign to heat things up — and no, I’m not talking about running up your gas bill. Now, this might be an unpopular opinion, but I prefer getting down and dirty even more in the winter than I do in the summer. (There’s too much sweat, and I get overstimulated with that much skin contact as is.) After all, is there anything better than a snuggle-sesh-turned-spicy-sesh? Well, not including these cold-weather sex positions.
I get it. With the temps dropping, the last thing you want to do is take your clothes off. And while you technically can have sex in your Aritzia Super Puff (wouldn’t recommend), I’ve rounded up positions that are perfect for keeping your body warm as the clothes hit the floor: They’re spicy, intimate, and have all the skin-to-skin contact you need to keep things hot. (Though, it wouldn’t hurt to keep your socks on — did you know that ~80% of couples reach orgasm while wearing socks, as opposed to only ~50% managing to climax without them? Who knew!)
So, after cozying up under the covers with your partner, FWB, situationship, or equally horned-up friend (heyo!), get ready to turn up the heat. Here are five cold-weather sex positions to heat things up more than your space heater.
- Spooning
-
This position is a classic for a reason: both partners facing one way, one behind the other, lying on their sides. From there, the partner on the outside (the giving partner) penetrates the receiving partner from behind. This is a great opportunity for some added intimacy with dirty talk — and you can even do it under the blankets for extra warmth. Score!
- Crooked spoon
-
OK, I had to include another spooning position — they’re just perfect for the cold! This variation is very similar to the regular spooning position, except the receiving partner sits up on their elbow, or all the way up, using their arm to hold steady. This sex position gives the receiving partner a bit more control, especially because they can grind their hips against the giving partner and control the pace.
- Cradle
-
Eye contact? Hot. In this position, both partners face one another in a seated position. While the receiving partner gets on top and wraps their legs around the other, the giving partner penetrates from underneath, stretching their legs out for extra comfort. (You can also try a similar variation seated on a chair, which is equally as hot.)
- Missionary, but closer
-
Whoever said missionary is boring is a liar! Start in the classic missionary position — with the receiving partner lying on the bed and the giving partner penetrating from on top. But, instead of keeping their arms straight, the giving partner lowers onto their forearms to get even closer to the receiving partner.
- Hot dog(gy)
-
Normal doggy isn’t the most intimate position, IMO (still love her, though). So, in the winter months, try this variation: While the typical doggy position has the receiving partner on all fours and the giving partner upright and penetrating from behind, this position allows for more body contact. For this position, the receiving partner lifts their hips on a pillow while the penetrating partner thrusts and leans over for closer contact.
