The Best Positions for Oral Sex

Oral sex is one of the most intimate acts a couple can enjoy together, and it doesn't require vaginal or anal penetration. Many enjoy it as foreplay, but it can just as easily be the main event. There's something particularly exciting about treating your partner right and being taken care of in return. However, to make the experience truly unforgettable, finding the right position is crucial, whether you’re enjoying a blowjob or cunnilingus.

Oral sex is an act that requires effort and concentration. Between moving your tongue, finding the right amount of suction, and using your lips in just the right way, oral sex can be hard (but fun!) work, so finding the right position is vital for ensuring your comfort and fully satisfying your partner. An uncomfortable position can quickly turn your moment of bliss into a chore, which benefits no one.

Beyond your and your partner’s comfort, some positions are simply sexier than others. They allow you to see your partner's body from a different angle, adding visual excitement to the experience.

Plus, certain positions make for easier access to your partner’s genital area, so your movements are more fluid and natural. A good position will give you better control over what you’re doing, which can greatly enhance the experience for both partners.

In essence, finding the ideal position for oral sex is vital for making your session better and more comfortable than ever. In this guide, we've compiled some of the best positions to help you enjoy oral sex with your partner.

Fellatio is a sex act that can be extremely pleasurable for both partners. Finding the right position can make all the difference. Here are some positions that will help you perfect your deep throat technique.

This position is perfect for those spontaneous or unexpected moments when you don't have the time or privacy to get undressed. Simply put, the receiver stands while his partner kneels to perform the blowjob. This position offers both ease and speed, while adding a playful power dynamic with the receiver in a more dominant position.

Typically known as a position for vaginal or anal penetration, the reverse cowgirl/cowboy involves the penetrated partner sitting with their back to their partner's face, moving up and down on his penis. In this variation for blowjobs, suitable for both gay and straight couples, the seated partner performs fellatio instead of being penetrated. This position will give the receiver an especially exciting view, as they’ll be able to watch their partner's bottom in motion while they’re enjoying head. This position is a unique and stimulating way to switch things up.

For those dreaming of fulfilling the fantasy of having sex in public, the car is an exciting location for love. Park in a discreet spot where no one can see you, and give your partner a blowjob from the passenger seat. The idea of getting caught will really rev up the excitement! While getting a blowjob while driving may be a common fantasy for men, we strongly advise against actually acting on the idea. Driving while enjoying fellatio is extremely dangerous and may cause an accident. Safety should always be a priority, even in your most passionate moments.
