Let's get one thing straight: Sex isn't just a penetrative, heteronormative act. And for women-loving-women (also known as WLW) couples, sex can look so many different ways. In a time of even greater sexual liberation than ever before, you and your honey can explore lesbian sex positions you may have never thought to try—no matter where you fall on the LGBTQ+ spectrum.

"For queer women, sex often transcends the traditional penetrative model," says Andrew Mioch, a sex and intimacy coach with over a decade of experience. "Embracing diversity in movement nurtures an ongoing pleasure and allows couples to deepen their connection while expanding their sexual language."

Whether you're looking to spice up your bedroom with a new lesbian sex position, you want to wow your dating app find with new WLW sex positions or you're looking to explore your and your partner's response to touch—like more profound orgasms and even multiple climaxes—we've got twelve sex positions WLW couples will love, below.

The Position: The Goddess

What it is: What's a more fitting name for lesbian sex positions to try? Whether you're bisexual, queer or somewhere else on the WLW spectrum, The goddess is a position that's sure to make you (and her) feel like one. This position is a versatile position, where she's in control, as she straddles your face, placing her knees on either side of your shoulders.

Why you'll love it: This fun position gives her (or you) the freedom to dictate the pressure and rhythm of your tongue on her. Plus, whoever is on the bottom can get in on the fun too, and use their hands to stimulate her clit or even introduce a vibrator for an added dimension of pleasure.

The Position: The Lean In

What it is: Simple yet powerful, as recommended by Mioch. As she lays back with her legs spread, this position makes way for you (or her) to start kissing one of your inner thighs and "lean in" for more.

Why you'll love it: These subtle touches can awaken the hottest erogenous zones, before moving to clitoral or G-spot stimulation. The buildup here can be an absolute game-changer!

The Position: The Lazy Girl

What it is: Sometimes, less is more, according to Mioch. And this lesbian oral sex position (made for bisexuals and any WLW, too) does just that. "Have her sit comfortably on a chair and spread her legs wide. Kneeling between her legs, focus on oral pleasure while you slowly rub her feet."

Why you'll love it: This position not only provides a sexy view for her but also gives you perfect access to her G-spot, if you decide to involve your fingers or even a sex toy of some kind, if that's your jam.

The Position: The One Up

What it is: This lesbian sex position is perfect for giving you (or your partner) the one-up. With her lying on the edge of the bed and one leg raised in the air, this position allows you to precisely target her clitoris and work her into an orgasmic frenzy.

Why you'll love it: This position is perfect for those with sensitivity on one side of the vulva.

The Position: The Classic 69

What it is: What's better than a lesbian sex 69 position? This timeless favorite comes with a twist. Adjust the angle by using pillows or changing positions to ensure both partners hit each other's pleasure spots just right.

Why you'll love it: This position is great if you both get turned on by turning each other on. Plus, who doesn't love a classic?

The Position: The Elevator

What it is: If lesbian strap-on sex positions are more your jam, or you consider yourself a strap-on enthusiast, then the elevator position could be for you both. This position requires that she stand with her feet shoulder-width apart while you kneel in front of her, taking control with eye contact and stroking the toy.

Why you'll love it: This is the perfect position for ultimate connection. Make eye contact, while getting turned on, watching her get turned on.

The Position: The C.A.T. (Coital Alignment Technique)

What it is: This position is a fun (and WLW-friendly) twist on missionary. "Get on top of her, but move vertically up and down rather than thrusting in and out, creating friction against both vulvas. It's the key to a simultaneous climax!" Mioch recommends.

Why you'll love it: It's not quite a lesbian scissor sex position, but if you're bisexual or WLW, it still gives you both the buzz of being connected and you might just both reach The Big O together.

The Position: The Iron Chef

What it is: This is one of the really good lesbian sex positions we recommend! The iron chef is a standing position where she sits on a countertop while you penetrate with a strap-on or focus on fingering.

Why you'll love it: This position is perfectly ideal for your WLW lover who loves G-spot stimulation or who enjoys having a full view of their partner—it's super hot.

The Position: The Spoon

What it is: A cozy favorite for butt play, Mioch recommends, or vaginal stimulation. "As she lays on her side with her legs bent at the knee, you lie behind her and work your magic with a strap-on or your fingers for the ultimate double stimulation," he says

Why you'll love it: If you're looking to have a romantic feeling session, this is one of those WLW sex positions that will get you feeling super close with her.

The Position: The Lap Dance

What it is: Slow and sultry. While wearing a strap-on, have her sit on your lap, facing away from you. You can even kiss her neck and reach around to stimulate her clit while she rides you.

Why you'll love it: The lap dance is truly a toe-curling experience for the both of you. It's a lesbian sex position that is made for those who truly want to take their time.

The Position: Scissoring

What it is: If this wasn't obvious, this lesbian scissor sex position is widely known for a reason. But in case you haven't heard of it, this involves you and her sitting on a bed facing one another and interlocking your legs until your vulvas are touching. From there, you can bump and grind on each other and even add lube for ultra-slippery fun.

Why you'll love it: Looking to feel super close? This sexy, popular position can get you both hot and bothered and even make you orgasm at the same time.

The Position: Thigh Tide

What it is: Similar to "the knee move," the thigh tide is popular among lesbian sex positions. Simply straddle one of her thighs, either facing away from or toward her, and grind on it until you feel yourself really getting there.

Why you'll love it: You'll love riding the wave of the thigh tide because you can go as fast or as slow as you want. Make it what you want, while either you or her have an amazing view of either of you getting off.
