Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and now is the perfect time as any to be unapologetically horny — sorry, not sorry! Whether you’re cuffed or just looking for a one-time fling, V-Day is a great excuse to spice things up in your sex life. Love is in the air, bestie: breathe it in and own that sexual energy.
If we’re being honest though, I know that “spicing things up” can look different to everyone. Furthermore, the idea of trying something new in the bedroom (or wherever, I don’t discriminate) can oftentimes be intimidating. At least for me, it’s hard to figure out where to start: let’s be honest, choosing to dive head-first into the kinky side of things usually makes for an awkward romp, especially if you and your partner are inexperienced. Sometimes, we have the tendency to over-spice things up. And that’s OK.
If you’re looking for a switch-up this V-Day, consider starting by trying out a new sex position. There are so many different positions out there, however, that finding the perfect one for you can seem impossible. Luckily, the stars are on your side this Valentine’s Day. So, look up your birth chart, come back to this post, and read all about the best Valentine’s Day sex position for you to try, based on your zodiac sign.
A quick reminder to, before engaging in any intimate activity, talk to your sexual partner about protection, STI testing, safe words, and any other things that may be on your mind. Communication and consent are key!
- Aries: Standing Doggy.
-
Picture this: you just got back from dinner, and your partner is looking so good. At that point, you can skip the foreplay and head right into the good part. And nobody knows that sense of spontaneous horniness like an Aries.
Aries are known for their passionate and fiery personalities. So, the standing doggy position would be best to try this V-Day. If you’re the one receiving, you can lean on a wall, countertop, or over the bed and have your partner enter from behind. This allows for a lot of cheeky (and kinky) play like hair grabbing, bottom-slapping, or even handcuffs. It’s hot and spontaneous, just like you!
- Taurus: On Their Knees.
-
Taurus is ruled by Venus, which means they’re a famously sensual sign. People with Taurus placements want to feel pleased in the bedroom. Worshipped, even.
This oral sex position is perfect for Taurus to try this V-Day. While you sit on the edge of your bed, or chair, have your partner on their knees as they please you. No lie, this position will get you super in touch with all of that goddess energy that you harbor. Just be sure to give your partner a pillow or pad to kneel on!
- Gemini: Mutual Masturbation.
-
This air sign loves connection and communication. Above all else, they desire for their minds to receive the utmost stimulation. So, switch things up this V-Day and try out a bit of mutual masturbation.
With your partner across from you, use your hands (or a toy for extra fun) to bring yourself to climax as your partner does the same. You’d be surprised how mind-blowingly hot this is — especially when you incorporate eye contact.
- Cancer: Cowgirl.
-
Cancer is a romantic sign, but they also have a bit of a naughty side. While they may be used to the softer, more tender romps, V-Day could be a good opportunity to shake things up and take charge. Go bestie! Go bestie!
Going on top is a great way to switch up your sex life. Not only are you in charge of your pleasure, but you can also experiment by introducing restraints and toys. Let that sexual side soar, Cancer! I know that you’ve got it in you.
- Leo: In front of a mirror.
-
Leo, this one is for you. I’m not saying that you’re self-obsessed, but my Leos out there really know how to own their confidence. Who else is enough of a baddie to get intimate in front of a mirror?!
Besides, something about actually watching yourself receive pleasure is insanely hot. Play around with doggy or reverse cowgirl, and really focus on owning your sexual energy. Trust me, you’ll come out of your V-Day romp feeling more confident than ever.
- Virgo: Legs-on-shoulders.
-
This Valentine’s Day, Virgo, you deserve a break, Vurgo is known for their type A tendencies, which is why this position is perfect for them to let go of control, and let someone else do the work for once.
With you on your back, simply place your legs on your partner’s shoulders as they enter you (and don’t forget to spritz some perfume on your ankles!). This position allows for deep penetration that will have you seeing stars all night. You deserve this one, Virgo. Don’t forget it.
- Libra: Face-To-Face.
-
The romantic Libra craves connection in the bedroom. So, grab your partner (and a toy) and try out this position once V-Day rolls around.
This face-to-face sex position is simple, but really packs a punch. Laying on your sides, have your partner enter you as you rock back and further, keeping eye contact as you do. This position can also be achieved with a double-penetration toy — no matter how you do it, it’s sure to satisfy.
- Scorpio: Lowered Doggy.
-
Scorpio is a notoriously sexual sign. This is far from a bad thing, however: this water sign is just super in-touch with their sexual energy and they know what they want — especially in the bedroom. In the name of shaking things up, a Scorpio might feel inclined to try out the lowered doggy position this V-Day.
Similar to doggy, this position places you on your knees and elbows/forearms, as opposed to your hands and knees. Keep your bottom up and back arched as your partner enters you, allowing you to feel ~cosmic pleasure~. You can keep your face in a pillow, or to the side — just prepare to have your life changed after this one.
- Sagittarius: Wear a toy.
-
While this isn’t technically a sex position, I’ve never encountered a Sagittarius who doesn’t like to try something new. All you need for this one is a wearable toy, preferably with a remote control.
Whether you’re at dinner, a movie, or simply Netflix and chilling, wearing a sex toy controlled by another person is incredibly hot. It’s the perfect foreplay for a spontaneous car sex moment, which the adventurous Sagittarius is sure to love.
- capricorn: Standing.
-
Much like your fellow Earth sign Virgo, you deserve a break, my dear Capricorn. Not only that but you deserve a V-Day romp that will have all of your sexual desires fulfilled. Enter: standing sex.
Facing your partner, find a place to balance yourselves — like pressing your back against the wall. From there, your partner can lift you up and enter from below as you wrap your legs around them, using the wall behind you to steady yourselves. This position is super hot and sure to sweep Capricorn off of their feet… literally.
- Aquarius: Missionary, With modifications.
-
OK, I know this probably wasn’t what you were expecting, Aquarius. But truth be told, if anyone can spice up missionary, it’s the creative and innovative Aquarius. And, believe it or not, with some modifications, missionary can shape up to be quite hot.
With your partner on top, you can wrap your legs around their waist, or introduce leg and arm restraints (if you want to get kinky, with consent, of course). Additionally, you can incorporate toys like c-rings, butt plugs, and vibrators into your play — the choice is up to you!
- Pisces: 69.
-
Finally, for the dreamy Pisces, Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to experiment in the bedroom and really get in touch with your sexual side. A compassionate sign, Pisces loves to give and receive, which makes this position the absolute ideal.
69 is perfect for Pisces: it allows them to feel pleasure while simultaneously giving pleasure to their partner. Additionally, this sign can spice things up by adding a vibrator, c-ring, or other toys to really enhance the experience for themselves and their partner.
