LOVE Positions: Side Saddle Sex – Take the Reins of Your Pleasure!

For 2025, the LOVE Team is cooking up a sizzling new series on our favourite sex positions of all time. We’ve already touched on classics like missionary, doggy style, and cowgirl, but this year, we’re stepping it up with more adventurous options. Whether you’re looking to shake up a well-worn routine or explore something completely new, these guides are your go-to for a more vibrant, exciting love life.

Kicking things off is a position that’s both elegant and tantalising: the side saddle. Side saddle sex is an incredible option for anyone ready to take charge of their pleasure.

Imagine this: a position that’s equal parts sexy and intimate, with just the right dash of excitement. He’s sitting comfortably on a chair or perched on the edge of the sofa, while she straddles him sideways, legs tucked together on one side. It’s a playful setup that feels fresh and keeps you close together.

The magic happens when you work together. Your hips move in sync, but she’s firmly in control of the rhythm and intensity. With her feet planted securely on the ground, she’s got the perfect mix of stability and power to explore what feels good.

Side saddle is all about flipping the script on traditional roles, creating a new kind of chemistry while staying totally connected – both physically and with some serious eye contact. It’s a moment of shared confidence and pure pleasure that’s bound to bring you closer.

Side saddle isn’t just any old sex position – it’s a way to bring you both closer together. Here’s why it deserves a prime spot in your repertoire.

With your bodies closely entwined, side saddle is perfect for passionate cuddles that bring you physically and emotionally closer. You’re wrapped up in each other’s arms, making it the perfect position for deeply connecting with your partner. Add in the natural, intense eye contact, and you’ve got a position that’s perfect for expressing love and affection.

If being in control is your vibe, this is the position for you. You get to set the pace and intensity, guiding the movement while staying in sync with your partner. It’s a moment to own your pleasure while maintaining that close, playful connection.

Even though it gives you a bit of a workout, side saddle sex is still manageable for everyone. No need to be a fitness pro – it’s even a brilliant option for pregnant women, offering a comfortable alternative when other positions might not feel as good.

Side saddle sex is all about balancing pleasure with comfort, creating an experience that’s both exciting and romantic.

Want to elevate your side saddle experience? Introducing a few adult accessories will increase your pleasure and add a playful twist to this already adventurous position. Here are our top picks:

As we’ve mentioned, this is the perfect position for breast play. So why not break out a pair of nipple clamps? Not only will they provide enhanced stimulation, but they also give your partner a chance to tease and please your breasts, making the sensations even more intense. If you’re feeling daring, this could be the perfect way to explore new heights of pleasure – maybe even unlocking the elusive nipple orgasm.

Sometimes, this position might make it trickier for her to climax from penetration alone. A couple's vibrator can be a game-changer. Nestled between your bodies, a couple’s vibrator will deliver tantalising vibrations for both of you, turning every move into a shared wave of ecstasy.

Want to surprise your partner and add a bit of cheeky glamour to your session? Nipple pasties are the way to go! These burlesque-inspired accessories, often adorned with tassels or sparkles, bring a visual flair to your movements. Their hypnotic sway as you move adds a playful and seductive element to the experience.

Incorporating toys into your side saddle play lets you get creative and explore new dimensions of pleasure. Each accessory brings its own magic, making every session as exciting as it is unforgettable.

Feeling confident with the classic side saddle position and ready to spice things up? Try a fresh variation on regular side saddle sex that will definitely keep your connection exciting.

That said, this variation does require a little more effort on her part – but that’s all part of the fun! It’s the perfect chance to push your boundaries while staying in charge and savouring every moment. For maximum pleasure, adjust the rhythm to match your mood and how you’re feeling.
