6 Sex Positions to Stimulate the Clit

Then, there are the internal legs of the clitoris, which go deep within the vaginal walls. Now the shape of the clitoris is better understood, it’s thought that the G-spot is where the clitoral legs meet internally, creating an extra sensitive pleasure zone an inch or two inside the vagina.

During sex, you can stimulate the external clitoris glans by rubbing it with your fingers or licking and sucking it. This can feel incredible when combined with internal G-spot stimulation, through penetration with fingers, a penis, or a dildo.

You can also use sex toys to stimulate the clitoral glans externally. “Because most women don’t orgasm through penetration alone, the added stimulation of a vibrator on the sensitive clitoris can be enough to push you over the edge,” explains Annabelle.

What are the best sex positions to stimulate the clit?

Some sex positions bring your bodies close together so the clitoris get stimulated naturally during penetrative sex. Others give you plenty of room to use a hand or toy to raise the temperature even more. Let’s explore the best of both below.

Hot tip: Place a bullet vibrator between the receiver’s hips and the pillow so they can feel tantalising vibrations while you play. However, if you’re the top, be careful not to grind too hard against your lover. Hold your weight in your arms and let them choose how firmly to press their sensitive clitoris against the toy.

The giver can also bring their hands into play, stroking the receiving partner’s erogenous zones. That said, the typical Cowgirl position (where you face each other) may feel more intimate and it lets the receiver press their clit against their lover’s belly or abs while they ride – see which one you prefer!

Hot tip: “Be careful when riding the receiving partner’s penis in this position, because there’s the chance of a penile fracture if the penis slips out and is squashed during thrusting,” warns Annabelle. “Nothing kills the mood quite like a trip to A&E!” She also recommends dabbing your clitoris with orgasm booster before you play. Feel the tingle as the gel increases blood flow to your clitoris and enhances your arousal – especially good for tribbing.

Why it works: No partner needed to feel good! This is quite an active masturbation position, which can help heighten the good sensations of self-pleasure. The wide-open legs make it easy to tease yourself with gentle strokes, amping up arousal before you play with your clit. You could even position yourself in front of a mirror and get to know your anatomy up close and personal...

Hot tip: If you’re someone who struggles to climax, you’re not alone. Annabelle suggests building positive anticipation for your solo sex session, so you feel super special and sexy when the moment finally arrives. You can do this by planning a night in, putting it in your diary, and fantasizing about what you’ll do when you’re alone. We’d also recommend trying a clitoral suction toy, which uses pulsing airwaves to stimulate the clitoris without desensitizing it with buzzy vibrations.

Why it works: The receiving partner is fully ‘on show’, which can feel so sexy when they start pleasuring themselves while maintaining eye contact with their lover. Even though there’s less skin-to-skin contact here, it can still feel intimate as you use your legs to pull each other close and enjoy the vulnerability of being so visible.

Hot tip: At this angle, the penis is going to press upwards on the G-spot, so you’ll need plenty of lubricant for a comfortable fit. If you’re giver, just sit back and enjoy the show, or stroke the receiver’s legs, hips, and vulva. Instead of thrusting, let your lover wiggle their hips for a slow, sensual grind – this will help avoid constantly slipping out.

For really intense pleasure, grab a wand vibrator and place it against the receiver’s clit. “Wand vibrators are very powerful and tend to be a firm favourite with women who enjoy really strong clitoral vibrations,” says Annabelle.

Plus, giving and receiving at the same time (aka Sixty-nining) can take the pressure off for anyone who feels shy about receiving oral, since they’ll have their face buried in their lover’s genitals and won’t feel quite as vulnerable!

Hot tip: You might find it difficult to climax while giving and receiving oral sex at the same time. Try taking the pressure off orgasm as the “end goal” in this position. It’s super sensual, so lean into that instead and enjoy the full body sensations. For blended pleasure, slide a lubed-up dildo in and out of your lover’s vagina or anus while you suck on their clit.

The angle of penetration puts lots of delicious pressure on the receiver’s G-spot, while the giver’s hands are free to roam; pleasuring their lover’s clit or slapping their lover’s butt as they please. The angle is a bit like Doggy, but you also get to make a lot of sexy eye contact. Or hand-to-breast contact. Wow.

Hot tip: Kink this position up by grabbing some wrist or ankle restraints. If you’re the giver, you could even get your lover to beg you to touch their clit, being sure to pleasure them everywhere else first! If the receiver is on board, this is a great position for combining vaginal penetration with anal play – since the giver will have an incredible view of their lover’s butt while they thrust. Swirl a lubey finger around your lover’s anus or slip in a slim anal vibrator.
