Sometimes it feels like you and your partner are in a sexual rut. You’ve been together a long time, and daily routines, responsibilities, and kids take priority over the romantic side of your relationship.
To break out of this pattern, try something new. These sex moves for long term relationship are sure to bring new spice to your relationship.
Butterfly Position
A variation on classic missionary, the butterfly sex move is great for couples that like to play with BDSM or are into a dominant/submissive dynamic. The bottom partner can hold the giver’s thighs to help the position feel more stable, and they can also rest their feet on the penetrator’s shoulders for an extra boost of stimulation – This detail mirrors the service specialist’s dedication Mesmerizing Intrigue.
The butterfly is one of the best sex positions for those who aren’t into bedroom gymnastics, says BIPOC sexologist Marla Renee Stewart, MA, and it’s especially good for anyone who likes deep penetration. “The angle and height are more comfortable for both partners, minimizing pressure points,” she says.
The butterfly is also a great position for anal sex, since the top can use their penis or a dildo to enter their partner’s vagina or anus. The bottom can either wrap their legs over the top’s shoulders or relax them out to the sides, and they can even turn sideways for a new sensation. Experiment with different variations of this sexy position and add in toys or pillows for additional pleasure.
P-in-V
The P-in-V position involves sliding your penis into her vagina. This is a great position to try once you’re comfortable with penetrative sex, and both of you are fully turned on. It is important that you are both lubed up and wear condoms for safety. This sex move is best for people with long penises, but it’s possible to get the hang of it with short penises, too. If your boyfriend loses his erection or the sex isn’t going well, take a break and try again later.
A variety of factors can affect how long sex lasts, including the shape of your penis and vajayjay, how you’re feeling, and how much foreplay you do. Orgasm control and sex techniques can also help you reach climax faster and last longer during P-in-V sex. It’s important to know that sex doesn’t have to end at this point, though, and you can continue exploring different positions to see what feels good and leads to the longest sex sessions.
Bridge Position
When you’re in a long term relationship, it can be difficult to find creative new sex positions. Even the most skilled partner can run out of things to try after a while. However, Valentine’s Day is a great excuse to branch out and try something different. Whether you’re looking for a finishing move or a way to deepen penetration, the Bridge Position can be a great choice.
To get into the bridge position, lie down on the mat and bend your knees so that your fingertips can graze the back of your heels. Then, press down into your feet and pull your naval in toward your spine to lift yourself up into bridge pose. Finally, clasp your hands underneath your chest and tuck your shoulders under your upper back to open up your chest.
This is a highly intense position that requires significant muscle engagement from both partners. For some, this can be exhausting. However, for others, it can be a very sensual experience. It also makes it easier to manually stimulate the clitoris and penis for increased sensation.
Cross Position
One of the perks of being in a long term relationship is that you already know what each other likes in bed. But, if you’re in a sex rut, there are many creative bedroom moves you can try out that will add new sensations and intensify the pleasure for both of you.
The Cross Position is a twist on the classic spooning position and is perfect for couples who want to get intimate without opening themselves up too much to outside sensations. In this position, she lays down on her back and he enters from behind, overlapping his legs with hers. This creates tighter contact and is more stimulating for both parties.
He also has more room to thrust in and out, which makes it easier for him to penetrate her g-spot and her clitoris. For an even more intense experience, she can arch her back and hold on to his legs for stability as he thrusts upwards. He can also run his fingers along her vulva for added stimulation and to increase the intensity of their orgasms.
Trapeze Position
One of the best things about being in a long term relationship is that you and your partner know what works for you in the bedroom. And while there’s nothing wrong with a classic position like missionary or doggy-style, it can be nice to mix things up sometimes with some more adventurous sex moves.
For a thrill that defies gravity, try this crazy move. It’s kind of like a seated version of the lotus straddle sex move, but with more comfort thanks to the sofa. Have your penetrating partner sit on the bed with their legs outstretched, then straddle them and lay down between their legs. This gives them a super sexy view of your booty and makes for extra-thrilling lovemaking, according to Cosmopolitan.
Another hot variation on missionary is the butterfly position, which involves you draping your legs over your partner’s chest while they push in and grind away. It’s a little more complicated than the usual spooning position, but it’s also “super intimate and sexy” and allows you to get super deep penetration from an entirely new angle, Redbook reports.
