The 5 Best Sex Positions for People With Vaginas to Orgasm
There are all sorts of ways to have sex with all sorts of biological (and store-bought) equipment — and not all of them are about orgasms. But for many people vaginas (especially those who have sex with cis-men), having an orgasm when they do really want one can be a bit of a challenge. The infamous “orgasm gap” really does exist, says Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn (aka Dr. Tara), a sex and relationship coach, sex expert on TikTok, and professor of relational and sexual communication at California State University Fullerton. “Heterosexual women experience the least amount of orgasms,” she tells SheKnows, explaining that one of the main reasons for the gap is lack of arousal. “There’s a lack of foreplay, lack of mental stimulation, and lack of clitoral stimulation.”
That definitely doesn’t have to be the case, though — in fact, it shouldn’t be, sex coach Jenna Switzer tells SheKnows. “Vulva owners have an entire organ dedicated to experiencing sexual pleasure,” she says, but “historically, a penis owner’s pleasure has been the goal. We see this idea perpetuated in many ways, including through porn.” Today, though, we’re here to empower you to take charge the next time you and your S.O. are in the bedroom with what experts have determined to be the five best sex positions for a guaranteed orgasm for vagina-owners.
