Looking to shake things up in the bedroom? You might not need to look any further than your favorite porn channel.
While I’ve said it once, and I will definitely say it again— you should never look to porn as the end-all-be-all spot for sex advice— particularly because it can get a bit dicey when it comes to giving a full download on things like pleasure, consent, exploitation, and general reality, there are a number of top tips that van be gleaned from watching some free porn. The thing is, porn stars are pros. Which means that they understand the subtle nuances of sex that noobs might not yet grasp. However, if you’ve been engaging in the horizontal tango for some time, and need something to shake things up a bit, porn could be your fountain of inspiration.
From keeping that tushy free from rug burn as you’re perfecting that midday romp, to perfecting the moves you already know and love. Porn can definitely offer some much-needed insight into those positions that you’re dying to try, but haven’t quite figured out the mechanics of. Maybe the best thing about turning to porn for a few much-needed pointers, is that there is literally a porn for every type of perversion, so you’ll never run out of ideas. Proving that even old doggy style can learn new tricks.
Doggy Style
And speaking of… doggy style is probably the number one porn position for a reason. It’s not only a familiar find in bedrooms across the globe, but the position itself is pretty visually appealing, and for most couples, it feels great. Especially if you modify it a bit (thanks porn!). While most of us are used to the standard table top position; where one partner will perch, in a levelled position, on their hands and knees, slightly elevated off the floor, while the other slides in behind them, grasping their hips— the porn twist is to have the hands and knees partner elevate their hand position, where it almost becomes a begging dog position. You can achieve this by resting your knees on the seat of a couch, while placing your hands along the back of it, creating a slight incline to your body position. This can not only make things go a bit smoother, but it also facilitates some extra body contact between you and your partner, as they can wrap themselves around your upper body.
Back Door Bonanza
Set the tushy free!! Maybe the greatest thing that porn has given us is the normalization of anal. Butt stuff has become increasingly popular within the last few decades, and for good reason. Anal is a great way for literally anyone to get in on some delightful penetrative play— regardless of identified gender, which means it can be pretty damn affirming to our transgender and non-binary partners, not to mention excellent for anyone else. What porn doesn’t show us is how to properly train our backside, which is incredibly important when it comes to anal. The holy trinity of tushy play will always be: Start small, keep it clean, and be generous with lube. Usingtoys is a great way to get our bum in fighting shape, just remember to sanitize them both before and after, slip a condom over any porous items, and lube, lube, lube.
The Hook
Confession. I had to google what this position was called. Despite the fact that it’s something I see all the time in porn, and have unquestionably added into my own sexual repertoire. The hook is not only an incredibly sleek position, but it’s another one that can be enjoyed by any couples that like a bit of penetrative play. One partner will bring their legs into their chest, with either knees bent or straight (depending on flexibility) the other partner will hover over them— almost missionary style— and proceed to penetrate whichever area feels best for them. The killer thing about this position is that again, it really can work for any couple, of any gender. It works amazingly well with toys, and there are probably a billion alterations of it that even porn has yet to explore.
