Lesbian sex is as diverse as any other form of intimacy – and that also applies to the range of sex positions for lesbians! Whether sensual, playful, or passionate, there are countless ways two women can please each other.
In this article, we'll introduce you to some exciting positions that bring fun and variety to the bedroom. From classic positions to creative new ideas – there's something here for every couple. Be inspired and discover how diverse lesbian sex positions can be!
How does lesbian sex work?
When two women have sex with each other, it's called lesbian sex. It doesn't matter whether the women are lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, or simply queer. What exactly happens during lesbian sex naturally depends on the preferences of all involved.
For example, you can indulge each other with your hands during petting, lick each other to orgasm, or rub your clitoris together with pleasure. Lesbians also like to use sex toys during sex. Whether it's a dildo, vibrator, or strap-on: sex toys can be a thrilling change during lesbian sex.
And just like with heterosexual sex, lesbians naturally have their own individual preferences and fetishes. While some are into BDSM, others prefer vanilla sex. Some are into vaginal penetration, others prefer anal fun. As with any sex, anything that's consensual and fun is allowed!
Is there a lesbian Kama Sutra?
When people talk about sex positions, most people first think of the Kama Sutra. But is there also a lesbian Kama Sutra, or is it only about heterosexual sex? The work dates back to very ancient Hindu traditions and therefore focuses more on heterosexual relationships. However, the Kama Sutra is not only about the oft-quoted Kama Sutra positions, but also about spirituality and interpersonal relationships.
Let's note: There is no official lesbian Kama Sutra (yet). But with a little creativity, you can incorporate classic sex positions like the doggy style or the cowgirl position into lesbian sex. We'll tell you now which positions are particularly well-suited for lesbian sex!
Hot lesbian sex positions for petting
A popular sex practice among lesbian couples is petting. After all, you always have your hands on you, so petting is always easy. You pamper each other with your hands. Stroking, massaging, fingering – all of these are considered petting. The best petting sex positions for lesbians are:
- Missionary position: We start with the classic – the good old missionary position. One of you lies flat on your back with your legs bent, while the other kneels between her legs. The kneeling person can reach a variety of erogenous zones in this position. They can either bend forward and caress their breasts and nipples with their hands, or let their hands wander to the vulva and vagina.
- Spooning position: In the spooning position, you lie close together, one behind the other – like two inseparable spoons in a cutlery drawer. This is not only a super popular position for cuddling, but also for petting. The person lying on the back can relax and wrap their arms around the person lying in front and pleasure them with their hands to the fullest.
- Petting in the shower: Sex in the shower can also be a refreshing change for lesbian couples. You can rub each other with scented shower gel and enjoy each other's naked bodies. Especially for period sex, fingering in the shower is a real insider tip! Because the period blood is washed away immediately, so you don't have to worry about dirty sheets anymore!
Hot lesbian sex positions for oral sex
Are you totally into oral sex and just can't keep your mouths off each other? Then it's time to try out different sex positions for lesbian oral sex. Here are our hot oral highlights for lesbian licking:
- Facesitting: Facesitting (also called queening) definitely spices up the bedroom! This is where you actually sit on your partner's face. Or almost. To avoid injury, you should support your own weight and let your vulva hover over her face. This position can also have a dominant quality and is therefore often incorporated into BDSM dynamics.
- 69 Position: The 69 position is also a classic and rightly very popular among people of different sexual orientations. It's actually similar to facesitting, with the difference that you bend forward until your mouth is level with your partner's vulva. This way, you can lick and finger each other at the same time.
- Crow Position: This is an oral Kama Sutra position similar to the 69 position. However, here you lie side by side. Each person bends one leg upwards, making the intimate area particularly accessible for the other person's head. This position is particularly comfortable and invites prolonged oral pleasure!
Sex positions for lesbian rubbing during tribadism
A great way to get active during lesbian sex is tribadism. Tribadism itself is just a generic term and describes the rubbing of a vulva against a body or an object to create sexual pleasure. Pillow riding during masturbation also counts as this.
Why does rubbing feel so good? This is because the clitoris is stimulated during rubbing. This is where most of the female body's pleasure cells are located, making tribadism possible for orgasmic climaxes!
During lesbian sex, you can simply rub yourself against your partner's body instead of against a pillow. It doesn't matter whether you rub yourself against her thigh, her stomach, or her vulva. The main thing is that it feels good for both of you!
We now reveal to you the most popular tribadic positions for lesbian sex:
- Scissors position: Admittedly, scissoring is almost a political issue. The male gaze in porn is to blame for this. Lesbian sex is often portrayed in an exaggerated manner, so that while it may excite the male viewer, it has little to do with reality. But rubbing against your partner's vulva can actually be a very arousing and bonding experience. In the scissors position, you sit opposite each other and cross your legs, one leg over the other and one under the other. Then you move close enough that your vulvas are touching and rub against each other in a way that feels good to you.
- Cowgirl position: The cowgirl position is also very popular. One person lies on their back while the other sits on them. Your thighs can either be slightly bent or lie flat on the bed. Now you can sit on your partner's leg. Thigh rubbing is an intense experience for many lesbians, as it allows you to actively control your pleasure and rub yourself to orgasm.
- Lying on your stomach: Sex positions from behind can also be really hot during tribadism. For example, your partner can lie on her stomach so you have a clear view of her butt. Now you can either rub yourself against the back of her thigh as described in the cowgirl position, or you can tuck one leg under your partner so you can essentially perform a reverse scissoring position!
Lesbian sex positions for strap-on sex
Penetration isn't just for straight men! It's not about emulating a penis, but rather about enrapturing the pleasure centers inside the vagina. The G-spot is an extremely erogenous zone, and when stimulated, some women can experience vaginal orgasm.
In lesbian sex, strap-ons or double dildos, for example, are used for penetration. Of course, you can choose any Kama Sutra position that would also be possible with a penis. Here are three selected positions for strap-on sex:
- Strap-on sex in the doggy position: Strap-on sex in the doggy position is perfect for anyone looking for a slightly wilder lesbian sex position. One of you kneels on all fours, while the other positions herself behind her with the strap-on. Especially if you're into spanking, the doggy position is the perfect choice! And another plus: This lesbian sex position is not only ideal for vaginal intercourse, but also offers the perfect starting point for anal pleasure.
- Double dildo in double doggy position: Do you both want to be penetrated at the same time during lesbian sex? Then a double dildo is the right choice. Both of you kneel on the bed in the doggy position, facing in opposite directions. Your anuses should be facing each other. Now you can insert the double dildo either vaginally or anally and move rhythmically back and forth.
- Reverse cowgirl: A strap-on is also great for riding. After all, it stays hard indefinitely, making it the perfect companion for long, hot rides. For a change from the riding position, you could also try reverse cowgirl. Here, you sit on your partner so that your gaze is directed toward her legs. She, in turn, has a wonderful view of your ass and how the strap-on dildo penetrates you. A hot experience for both of you.
Tips for lesbian sex positions
As you can see, there is no single sex position for lesbians. You can let your imagination run wild and simply follow your desires. We have a few tips for you to make your lesbian sex an unforgettable experience:
Tip #1: Lubricant makes a difference
Although the vulva produces its own lubrication, it's often helpful to add a little extra moisture. Therefore, lubricant is your faithful companion during lesbian sex! Whether water-based or silicone-based, lubricant will get the most out of your experience, especially when you want to rub your bodies together!
Tip #2: Don’t forget contraception!
Of course, having fun shouldn't lose sight of the more serious aspects of sexuality. As two women, you don't have to worry about unwanted pregnancy – but you do have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases! STIs can also be transmitted during lesbian sex. Therefore, test yourself regularly for sexually transmitted diseases (e.g., with an HIV self-test) and use a dental dam during oral sex!
Tip #3: Masturbate next to each other
You're not quite sure which lesbian sex position you want to try and are also unsure how the other person likes to be touched. Communication and asking questions can help, of course. But masturbating together can also be a very intimate experience. You lie next to each other on the bed and watch each other masturbate. Afterward, you'll definitely know whether your partner prefers circular, stroking, or tapping movements! Sex toys like the Satisfyer 'Pro+ G-Spot' can also be used for masturbation!
Tip #4: Start with an erotic massage
Before you start flexing your body and flexing your muscles on the bed, you can start with a relaxing erotic massage. This has two benefits: First, this sensual foreplay will get you in the mood. Second, it will loosen muscles and tension, making you more flexible for more challenging lesbian sex positions. Massage oil will make these intimate touches a truly special experience!
The best sex toys for lesbian sex
Are you ready to get started and can't wait to try out the different lesbian sex positions? We're delighted! Finally, we'd like to briefly share with you our favorite toys for lesbian sex. Many of them can be used in a variety of different sex positions. So, it's best to just try out what works best for you.
Pressure wave vibrators during lesbian sex
Pressure wave vibrators are lay-on vibrators that pamper your clitoris with sensual impulses. The advantage: Because they only wrap around the outer clitoral pearl, the vagina remains free for other stimulation. This means your partner could, for example, finger you or penetrate you with a strap-on at the same time. In many lesbian sex positions, your clitoris is exposed, allowing you to place a pressure wave vibrator between your bodies. Our favorite for this is the Satisfyer Pro 2 Gen 3!
Dildos for penetrative experiences
Dildos are an integral part of the sex routine for many lesbians. They allow for penetrative pleasure without having to get close to a penis. Many women prefer dildos that are visually more neutral and don't resemble a real penis too closely. A glass dildo with a spiral structure fulfills this requirement and scores points in another way. The high-quality glass material is perfect for temperature play!
Orgasm with vibrators
Whether you're delighting each other with a vibrator or masturbating side by side, vibrators are rightly among the most popular sex toys. They stimulate the sensitive G-spot inside the vagina and drive you toward climax with their vibrating patterns. Did you know? There are even inflatable vibrators that you can tailor exactly to your desires. For example, the Satisfyer 'Air Pump Bunny 3'.
Strap-on as a lesbian classic
Just because you're lesbian or bisexual doesn't mean you have to forgo penetrative sex. Fortunately, there are strap-ons that allow for an intense lesbian sex experience. You'll probably have to get used to using a strap-on at first. But once you get the hang of it, you can enjoy yourself in countless lesbian sex positions!
Anal plugs during lesbian sex
Do you prefer anal fun? Then anal toys are perfect for you. You can choose from a huge selection of anal vibrators, anal dildos, and anal plugs. For example, you could wear an anal plug during foreplay to prepare for later anal penetration with a strap-on (also called pegging).
