Happy St Patrick’s Day! Today is a day all about celebration, happiness and having a good time. Whether you’re Irish, in Ireland or just love to celebrate and have fun, these sex positions have been carefully cultivated and curated for you and your partner. They’re a fun take and twist on typical sex positions that you may usually participate in, and if you’re going to try them – now’s the time and the day to do so! Maybe the luck of the Irish will help you and your partner have a great time. These tips, tricks and positions will certainly help you celebrate this day of happiness!

A Pot of Gold

This position is great to experience a different feeling while being penetrated. The receiver can lie down on their side on the edge of a flat surface like a bed. The giver then stands near the flat surface, ready to enter. If height is an issue the receiver can use pillows to adjust their height. When the giver enters the receiver, the receiver can press their legs together for a ‘tighter’ experience and can rub their clit for an even more intense feeling.

Shamrock Shake

This position lets you lead your partner to *that pot of gold* if you know what I mean. This lets you change up the way you would normally finger your partner, by stroking their clitoris with more energy and speed than you usually would. Then you stop and then slow it down and repeat this, so that you keep your partner at the edge of orgasms for as long as you’d like them to be – giving you the control and the power.

The Cead Mile Failte

The Cead Mile Falite in Irish Gaelic means ‘one hundred thousand welcomes’ and this position is really just that. The receiver should lie on their back and place their feet on the giver’s chest so that their legs are bent and the bottom half of their back and their bum are lifted up slightly – as supported by the giver. This position is great since it allows the receiver to control just how deep the giver wants to penetrate. To further fit the lucky Irish day theme, you can add something like a yoga strap, belt or towel (make it green) and place this around the givers’ hips so the receiver can be more in control.

The Luck of the Irish

Think reverse cowgirl… the receiver can lean down on their elbows (if they’re comfortable) or support themselves by holding onto their partner’s legs. Instead of thrusting, this position lets you have a slower motion, more like rocking rather than thrusting. It’s a very sensual position and lets the receiver be in control.

The St Paddy’s Challenge

Now just like the name of this position – it is a challenge. But we’re all up for a challenge right? With this position you and your partner need to get into doggy style and then your partner will lift you up (you can support yourself by holding onto something) so that you’re mimicking a wheelbarrow – like you’re in a wheelbarrow race. To give you more support, the receiver can bend their elbows down and rest them on a pillow.

A Four Leaf clover

Let the receiver lie down with their legs bent outwards and the soles of their feet touching. The receiver can use their two thumbs to press against the top wall of the vagina, and then using two fingers can then slide down on either side of the clitoris. By using and moving both hands at the same time, this can create an overwhelming sensation.
