Move over, “Nonsense” outros — the “Juno” sex positions are Sabrina Carpenter’s newest surprise on her Short N’ Sweet Tour. ICYMI, Carpenter has been showing off a new position on each night of her tour during her ovulation anthem — I mean — song “Juno,” and it has fans going feral.
“Juno” is a fan favorite for a few reasons: It’s catchy as hell, the lyrics are iconic (the girl literally sings, “I’m so f*cking horny”), and it just has this super fun, feminine vibe that empowers us to embrace our sexuality. And while some folks think that Carpenter’s song is inappropriate and vulgar, I couldn’t disagree more. Let the girl be horny! We all are!
Embracing the sexually empowered vibes of her music, Carpenter has done away with the “Nonsense” outros (they were getting boring, anyway — sorry!) and replaced them with the “Juno” positions. During the song, when Carpenter sings about wanting to try some “freaky positions,” the pop star demonstrates a new sex position during each show as she says “Have you ever tried this one?” And the crowd goes wild.
Not to piss on anyone’s Cheerios, but the positions aren’t that freaky… at least not yet. Still, it’s pretty cool to see such a huge star — and an ex-Disney kid — be so open with their sexuality. So, what positions has she debuted? Here’s a running tab of Carpenter’s “Juno” positions on the Short N’ Sweet Tour, and how to do them — in case you want to use ’em as inspo.
- Reverse Cowgirl
-
Carpenter dropped into a reverse cowgirl in Columbus, Toronto, and Minneapolis. This position is a total classic, and is pretty easy to get into: With the giving partner lying on the bed, the receiving partner straddles them, with their back facing their partner, and lowers to achieve penetration. From there, they can grind, bounce, or do whatever makes them feel best.
- Standing doggy
-
At her Detroit, Denver, Brussels, and Pittsburgh Night 2 shows, Carpenter unlocked a new position: standing doggy. Standing with their legs wide, the receiving partner bends over and arches their back as the giving partner penetrates from the back. (Pro tip: It’s probably best to do this over a bed, couch, or any stable surface to hold onto for support.)
- Missionary
-
Underrated, IMO. In New York City, Carpenter demonstrated the good ‘ol classic missionary position for fans. If you don’t know how it goes, the receiving partner lays comfortably on the bed with their feet planted and knees bent. Then, the giving partner climbs on top and penetrates. Pillow princesses, unite.
Carpenter also did a modified version of this position when she returned to NYC on the second leg of her Short N’ Sweet Tour. At MSG Night 1, she still did the missionary position, but bent one leg and planted her foot. OK, versatility!
- Doggy
-
There was some debate on this one: Fans were convinced that this position was the same as reverse cowgirl, but as your resident sex bestie, that’s not the case. In Brooklyn, Hartford, Montreal, Raleigh, Seattle, and Copenhagen Night 1, Carpenter asked the crowd if they’ve ever tried this position — which, I mean, a lot of us have.
Carpenter also hit this position on the first night of the Short N’ Sweet Tour’s second leg in Pittsburgh. (My hometown show!)
To do the standard doggy position, the receiving partner gets on all fours with their back arched as the giving partner penetrates from behind. You can also lower yourself onto your forearms if your back is flexible enough to feel even deeper penetration!
- The Ballet dancer
-
Carpenter’s Baltimore show position had fans puzzled… for some reason. This position requires the giving partner to stand with their back against the wall. The receiving partner faces them and wraps one leg around the giving partner’s torso as they penetrate, holding onto them (and the wall) for support.
- Spooning
-
In Philadelphia, San Francisco, Glasgow, and Berlin Carpenter debuted a new position: Spooning. For this classic position, the receiving partner lies on their side as the giving partner positions themselves as the “big spoon,” penetrating from behind. (Oh, and in Assago, she did this position with a *chef’s kiss.* So Italia!)
- Legs up
-
Chicago, Tampa, and Vancouver were gifted the legs-up position. This position requires the receiving partner to lie on their back with their legs straight and in the air as the giving partner penetrates. (She also did this in Phoenix, but with her ankles crossed in the air.)
- Cowgirl
-
Carpenter switched things up in Missouri, Nashville, Houston, and Dublin Night 2 by getting into the classic (and beloved, by me) cowgirl position. To do this with a partner, the giving partner lies back on the bed while the receiving partner straddles them, penetrating from underneath. Ride ’em, baby!
- The bridge
-
It’s like missionary, but better. In Charlottesville and Stockholm Night 1, Carpenter demonstrated the bridge position, where the receiving partner lies on their back and lifts their hips as the giving partner goes between their legs to penetrate.
- One-leg spoon
-
Atlanta and Salt Lake City saw Carpenter debut a twist on the classic spooning sex position. To do this, the receiving partner lies on their side with one leg in the air as the giving partner penetrates from behind.
- Pillow princess
-
Carpenter’s Orlando and Manchester Night 2 “Juno” position is one for the pillow princesses. In this position, the receiving partner leans back with their legs spread and feet planted, as the giving partner pleasures them.
- Strap-on
-
My fellow queer Carpenters, rise. At her Austin show, Carpenter debuted an iconic “Juno” position where she used her microphone to simulate a strap-on while on her knees. I’m obsessed.
- BOO!
-
There wasn’t a new position at Carpenter’s Halloween show in Dallas. Instead of getting into a position when the time came, Carpenter yelled “Boo!” into her microphone. A real knee-slapper.
- One leg up
-
Portland and Bærum got my favorite position, I fear. At these shows, Carpenter showed off this (incredible) position where the receiving partner lies on their back and puts one leg over the giving partner’s shoulder as they penetrate.
- Squat
-
At her Los Angeles show at the Crypto.com Arena, Carpenter showed off a position that, if I’m being honest, could totally be its own cardio routine. In the squat position, the giving partner lies down as the receiving partner gets on top with their feet planted on either side of them. (Think, “drop it like it’s hot” style.)
- The splits
-
Finally! Something freaky(ish)! On her first night in Inglewood, Carpenter did the splits — which is when the receiving partner spreads their legs as the giving partner penetrates from underneath. (Get to stretching if you want to try this one out.)
- Oral
-
Miss Sabrina! At her Nov. 18 show in Inglewood, Sabrina simulated giving oral sex to the microphone for her “Juno” position. While I bet many netizens aren’t too happy about it, I think it was totally iconic. Let her live, y’all!
- …Meditating?
-
Some of y’all definitely need to try this one. During the first Dublin show, Carpenter positioned herself as if she were meditating in place of a sex position.
- ON your toes
-
At Carpenter’s Birmingham show, she demonstrated a pretty athletic position. (Seriously, you need some leg strength for this one.) In this position, the giving partner lays down as the receiving partner squats on top — bouncing to achieve penetration. Trust me, it’s harder than it sounds.
- Tight squeeze
-
We’re getting pretty creative now. In this position, which Carpenter demonstrated during her first London show, the receiving partner gets on all fours but lifts their feet and crosses them. From there, they arch their back and lift their bum so the giving partner can penetrate from behind.
- Backbend
-
Now this is what I’m talkin’ about! During her second London show, Carpenter got into a backend for this JUno position — which is a pretty athletic (and mildly freaky) way to get it on, if you ask me.
- Standing one-leg
-
Manchester Night 1 saw Carpenter debut a new position: the standing one-leg. In this position, the receiving partner stands, facing the giving partner as they lift their leg and penetrate.
- French INhale
-
Maybe don’t try this one. During the Paris Night 1 show, Carpenter demonstrated a “French inhale,” which is a popular way to inhale a cigarette.
- Eiffel tower
-
FINALLY! During the Paris Night 2 show, Carpenter enlisted two of her background dancers to demonstrate the ever-popular Eiffel Tower sex position: One partner positions themselves on all fours while another partner stands in front of them (engaging in oral sex), and a third partner penetrates from behind. Then, the two standing partners make physical contact, such as a high-five or hand touch, above the central partner. Wild.
- Bicycle
-
Yes, you read that right: Bicycle. In Amsterdam, Carpenter got on her back and simulated pedaling on a bicycle. How would this work in the bedroom? Who knows!
- Skiiing (wink!)
-
In Zürich, Carpenter simulated skiing (yes, the sport) for her “Juno” position. However, this position can also be a play on standing doggy, with the receiving partner moving their body into the giving partner. (But, again, it could also just be skiing.)
- April Fools!
-
At the Copenhagen Night 2 show, Carpenter played us all by skipping the “Juno” position altogether. I gotta give her credit — it is hard coming up with all these new positions.
- Motorboat
-
Going out with a bang, Miss Carpenter! For her final “Juno” position of this leg of her tour, Carpenter did something truly hilarious. I’ll just leave this here.
- Taxi
-
We can always count on Carpenter to give us a cheeky “Juno” pose every so often. For NYC Night 2, she simulated driving a taxi (complete with a “beep beep!”).
- Bone-ing (literally)
-
Sabrinaween saw Carpenter trying out yet another cheeky position. For her final night at MSG, Carpenter — dressed as Pebbles Flintstone — pulled out a large bone prop for her “Juno” position.
I’ll keep updating these positions as the rest of the tour continues. So, if you’re ever looking to try out a new and “freaky” position, you know where to find me!
