Lesbian Sex Positions: How to Get an Orgasm?

For some reason, there are a lot of misconceptions about sex between lesbians. So we're setting the record straight. Here's everything you need to know about how lesbians have sex and about lesbian sex positions.

What is "lesbian sex"?

Human sexuality comes in all the colors of the rainbow. Maybe you identify as bisexual instead of lesbian. Maybe your partner is pansexual. Maybe you're as cisgender as they come — meaning you identify with the gender you were assigned at birth — while your partner is transgender.

Here's the rub: A woman who has sex with another woman might not identify as lesbian.

Sex happens between trans women with penises, non-lesbian-identifying people with vaginas, and intersex folks. So defining "lesbian sex" is hella complicated. It could also include a variety of sex acts.

Lesbian Sex Positions

These are the popular lesbian sex positions:

Oral sex

You can go down on your partner in a variety of positions. One of the easiest is for one person to lie back with open legs. The other person can lie on their belly and begin licking, kissing, or manually rubbing between the first person's leg

Doggy

For anal or vaginal penetration from behind, one person can get down on all fours with their knees comfortably apart. The other person will kneel behind the first person and slowly penetrate the vagina or anus with fingers, or sex toy.

Missionary

The Missionary position gets a bad rap. It's boring, plain vanilla… you know the drill. But it's also a solid foundation. To get hot and heavy in Missionary, the partner with a vagina lies on their back with legs spread while the partner with a sex toys hovers facedown on top.

How to Use Sex Toys as a Lesbian

Sex toys aren't just fun when playing alone. They also offer exciting foreplay options for lesbian couples and enhancements during sex. Sex toys provide the ideal foreplay option because they save you and your partner's energy for the main event while heightening the excitement beforehand.

Using sex toys like the wand for foreplay instead of individual use also provides a more intense experience that will have you quickly jumping on each other. Letting your partner control the toy will push you beyond your normal limits. The added orgasms and pleasure are often so strong they can cause squirting.

In addition, sex toys don't have to refer to wands, vibrators, or butt plugs. Sex toys include accessories like sexy costumes, bed restraints, and props. Bringing whips and ties, a sex swing, or themed props to the bedroom can bring you and your partner's fantasies to life.

How to Clean Lesbian Sex Toys

Cleaning your lesbian sex toys will ensure the lifespan and shelf life of your sex toy. We recommended buying a sex toy cleaner to avoid STDs. Wet For Her Sex toy cleaners are perfect for your lesbian sex toys, but generally, you'll want to try to pay attention to the type of material your sex toy is as this will determine the means and measures for cleaning. Glass, metal, and silicone sex toys are usually nonporous and can be cleaned just fine with soap and water or a toy cleaner. Squirt a few pumps onto your toy, rinse with warm water if your sex toy is waterproof, or wipe it down with baby wipes or a clean damp cloth. Never submerge your sex toy fully in water if it's not waterproof! Remember to clean your sex toy after every use to prevent the buildup of bacteria and also prevent infections.

How to Choose The Best Lesbian Sex Toys

✔️Consider your and your partners' sexual preferences. Sex toys should help enhance your sexual experience with your partner. Before bringing a new toy into the bedroom, it's important to consider what you both feel comfortable with—some people are more adventurous than others.

✔️Consider the challenges you face when engaging in sex. Sex should be enjoyable, but sometimes bodies don't jive quite how you need them to hit all the right spots. Think about buying sex toys that will help you overcome any challenges. For instance, a sex pillow may help support your body or give you a more comfortable experience. A dildo harness may make it easier to enjoy penetrative sex. And for those who want to enjoy penetrative sex together, a two-way dildo might be the right choice.

✔️Decide if you prefer partner or solo play or options for both. It's also important to consider whether the toys you buy will only be used during partnered sex or if you want toys you can use alone. Those with vibrating features may be best for both purposes.

✔️Think about the different features and functions. Do you want a waterproof toy? Do you need a separate remote control for partner play? Should your toy be used for internal and external stimulation? How strongly do you want the vibrations, and how many settings or variations do you want to try? Answering these questions will help you find the right toy for you.

✔️Consider the materials and ease of cleaning. While most sex toys are designed for easy cleaning, glass and crystal toys are nonporous and may be easier to keep clean. On the other hand, they're made of hard materials that may not be comfortable. Think about the materials, whether you prefer a stiff or flexible toy, and how easy it should be to clean.
