A summer vacation with your partner is the perfect way to unwind, spend some good ol’ quality time together, and make things even hotter in the bedroom. There’s no better time of the year to take a week off with your lover and enjoy a little baecation with your partner than the summertime. A little getaway is the perfect opportunity to visit somewhere new, explore a new place, and try different things with your lover. But hear me out, though: if you’re already trying new things on vacation, why not try a few new sex positions, too?Â
Summer is a great way to turn up the heat in your sex life (pun intended). So this season, don’t be afraid to grab your special person — whether it be a partner, a summer fling, or a situationship you’re trying to rekindle things with for the thousandth time (hello, Mercury retrograde) — and try something new in bed with them.
Yes, it can be hard to decide what position to try when you’re so used to cuddling, kissing and ending up in missionary every time, but don’t worry, I got you! I came up with a list of sex positions to try based on your baecation location. These positions are perfectly curated to the vibes of each place. So without further ado, here are six sex positions to try based on your vacation spot.
- CRUISE: Face-to-Face
-
We all know cruise cabins can be quite small and tight, which means there’s not much room to try any crazy and complicated sex positions. But don’t let this stop you from getting your freak on! You can take this opportunity to get close and intimate with your partner. In this position, both partners will face each other and wrap their arms around each other. The receiving partner will wrap their legs around the other as the giving partner penetrates from below.
- BEACH: Prone Bone
-
This position is the perfect way to end a well spent day on the beach enjoying the sun, drinking a piña colada, tanning, and catching some waves. In this position, the receiving partner will lie on their stomach with their legs spread. The giving partner will position themselves on top of the receiving one and penetrate their anus or vagina from behind.
- ROADTRIP: Cowgirl
-
Make sure you pull over (and find somewhere private) for this one. Try this position if you and your partner are hitting the road this summer. For this position, the giving partner will get in the backseat and sit upright. The receiving partner will straddle and sit on the other person’s lap and ride them in the backseat. You can bounce or grind, and even have your partner rub your clit.
- GLAMPING: Kneeling Doggy
-
If you and your partner are planning on glamping, hiking, making s’mores and stargazing for your summer baecation, then this one’s for you. This position is perfect for a tent — and honestly, what beats having sex under the stars? For this position, the receiving partner kneels in front of the giving partner, and the giving partner enters them from behind, grabbing the receiving partner’s hips.
- LAKE: Missionary
-
Try this position if you and your partner are planning on spending a quiet and romantic weekend away at a lake house (and living out your The Summer I Turned Pretty dreams). The receiving partner will lie on their back while the giving partner gets on top of them and penetrates their vagina or anus.
- CITY: Anvil
-
New York City is known as the city that doesn’t sleep — so why should you? Whether you’re headed to NYC — or have a trip planned to another city — consider the anvil: a twist on a beloved classic. The receiving partner will lie on their back as they do in missionary, but instead of leaving their legs straight, they’ll put their legs up and their ankles on their partner’s shoulders. The giving partner will get between their legs and penetrate.
