When it comes to sex positions, we can focus too much on the genital connection, and ignore the fact that there is a whole body available for sexual stimulation. Arms, legs, hands, feet, can all be important players in great sex positions.

The position of your limbs can also greatly affect how penetration feels. With a sex position like the edge of the bed sex position , having your legs dangling off the side of the bed will feel very different than having your legs hooked over your partners shoulders. Don’t ignore the rest of your body, you don’t have any pockets to put your hands into, so if you can use them, you might as well get them in the act.
