We’ve all heard the song “Birthday Sex” by Jeremih before. (And if you haven’t, do it for the culture and open Spotify right now.) While the song is a staple on any birthday playlist, IRL birthday sex is one of the best ways to celebrate another trip around the sun. I mean, who needs presents when birthday sex positions and orgasms exist… right?
OK, I’ll admit that nothing can really beat a great birthday gift, but giving (or receiving) pleasure can be the icing on top of the cake on your special day. In fact, according to SKYN Condom’s annual Sex Survey, 79% of folks get down and dirty on their birthday — so it’s safe to say that birthday sex is a popular way to celebrate. As it should be, TBH: A successful orgasm not only makes you feel good physically, but can also boost your mood to cure the sometimes inevitable birthday blues.
Once the party guests leave, let the real party begin. I’ve rounded up five birthday sex positions that are perfect for celebrating your, or your hookup’s, birthday. Cue up the sex playlist and turn down the lights, because candles aren’t the only things getting blown out tonight. Wink.
- 69
-
Giving and receiving — it’s a win-win here! To do this classic position, situate yourselves on top of each other, with your mouths facing each other’s genitals. From there, celebrate your partner in the best way you can — with oral, of course.
- Blindfolded missionary
-
Is it getting hot in here? IMHO, birthdays are the perfect time to spice things up in the bedroom. If it’s your birthday, grab a blindfold and let your partner get on top to pleasure, or penetrate, you. This position is an easy way to introduce bondage in the bedroom, so don’t be afraid to introduce some other restraints too — if you and your partner consent.
- Let them eat cake
-
This position puts your pleasure first: On all fours, have your partner pleasure you orally from behind. This is another position that can benefit from added items such as blindfolds and restraints — it’s all about you, so do what you wish!
Arianna Tucker / Her Campus - Vibrating Cowgirl
-
Grab your vibrator, bestie — this modification of the classic cowgirl is simply too good to not try. With your partner lying down, position yourself on top and have them penetrate you from underneath. From there, grab a vibrator and have your partner use it on your most sensitive areas. Or, if you have it, your partner can slip on a vibrating c-ring for the same effect.
- Standing shower
-
Kill two birds with one stone and have sex in the shower after the party is over. The most comfortable, and safe, position requires both partners to be standing. Facing each other, position yourself so one leg is grounded on the edge of the bathtub, or have your partner hold your leg up, and have your partner penetrate you from underneath. Remember to aim the showerhead in a comfortable way, and use a non-slip bath mat if you have it!
It’s time to celebrate, y’all! And remember — an orgasm is free.
