These St. Patty’s Day Sex Positions Will Sham-Rock Your World (No, I’m Not Sorry)

I’m not alone when I say that St. Patrick’s Day is probably the most underrated holiday, like, ever. (Seriously, name another day when it’s socially acceptable to eat copious amounts of corned beef hash and day drink with my best friends.) Every year, I think it’s customary to celebrate by wearing a “Kiss My Shamrocks” t-shirt, playing “Rattlin’ Bog,” and ending the day with some St. Patrick’s Day sex positions with a hot, consenting partner. Talk about a pot of gold, huh?

I know, I know — linking the words “sex positions” with a holiday that honors a literal saint seems a little odd, especially as a former Catholic. But think about it: Christmas has mistletoe (which feels, like, weirdly arcane to me), and I don’t even need to tell you how horny of a holiday Valentine’s Day is. (St. Valentine, you little freak!) So, what’s stopping you from spicing up one of the most sexed-up days of the year? Absolutely nothing!

Whether you’re celebrating at parties, or bar-crawling through your city, St. Patrick’s Day is your time to shoot your shot and, IMHO, get a little spicy. So, consider this your time to get a little festive with these St. Patrick’s Day sex positions… because why not, amirite? May the luck of the Irish be with you!

The Shamrock Shake

Get ready for your world to be sham-rocked. (Sorry, I had to.) This position feels as good as your favorite green treat tastes. To do this, have the partner that’s doing the penetrating lay on their back, while you hop on top in the cowgirl position. Then, grab your vibrator and have your partner use it to stimulate your clitoris while you ride. Not only will this feel good for you, but the vibrations will also leave your partner (shamrock) shaking. See what I did there?

Pot Of Gold

Pillow princesses, rise. (Or like, lie down.) To do this position, get comfortable on the bed with your legs open as your partner pleasures you orally. This is a great position to do during foreplay, but I see nothing wrong with staying here all night long.

The end of the rainbow

Hope you’ve stretched, bestie. To do this position, start on your back and tuck your knees into your chest. From there, lift your legs up as your partner lies across your body, penetrating you. This position allows for super deep penetration, and is a fun and spicy way to introduce a new position to the bedroom.

Four-leaf Clover

Lotus is out. Four-leaf clover is in. This position is a variation of the classic Lotus sex position that’s perfect for St, Patty’s Day sex. To try, have your partner sit on the bed (or the couch, up to you) with their legs crossed. Then, climb on top and wrap your legs around them. With your arms around the back of their neck, and their arms at your waist, lean back as you grind instead of staying close. This allows for deeper G-spot stimulation, which is always a plus in my book!

St. Patrick’s Day is the day to have fun, so don’t shy away from letting loose! Have fun, be safe, stay responsible, and may you find your very own (pleasure) pot of gold!
