These are the 6 most fun kamasutra positions

Are you lying next to your partner in bed but scrolling through your TikTok For You Page? Oops. Isn’t it much more fun to explore each other’s ‘page’? That’s a real ‘for you’ experience. It’s time to look for some challenges, so we’re pulling out some good old ideas from our trick box. Wanna try out some freaky positions? (Wise words, Sabrina Carpenter.) Then you need to read on. Here are the most fun kamasutra positions to try something different.

Okay, just to clarify: what makes something a kamasutra position? I get that question. Why is this so ‘different’? To answer that, we need to go back in history. The word kamasutra means pleasure (kama) and formula (sutra) in Sanskrit, the ancient Indo-Aryan language spoken in India. Because yes, the kamasutra is the textbook behind Indian philosophy about love, sexuality, and connection. The book is about much more than just sex positions, but we in the West mainly know it for those positions – so we’ll stick to that for now. And no, not simple things, but positions that revolve around playfulness, connection, and being open to new things. Are you curious yet? Just scroll.

1. The astonished angel

No, it’s not a spooning position, but it does resemble one quite a bit. The penetrating partner lies behind the passive one. Both of you slightly bend your legs, but the one in the back doesn’t embrace the other with their legs. The active person pulls their legs up so that the ‘little spoon’ can lie in a fetal position. They should direct their legs slightly outward so you can lie close together. This way, you can easily adopt the same rhythm without breathing in each other’s breath – although that is also very intimate.

2. Tripadam (three-legged)

This is handy for those quickies, or just when you want to try a different location. One partner lifts a leg, which is held by the other. The lifter holds the other securely and lets them gently lower while being penetrated. You don’t need to be as flexible as a ballet dancer for this – that leg doesn’t need to be high in the air. Your partner can hold your leg at the knee pit. Now, of course, you can use a wall for support, but that’s not really the point. The connection of standing together on ‘three legs’ is what’s important. Look each other in the eye and enjoy.

3. Piditaka

Let’s lie down again. You lie on your back and push your knees all the way forward. Once your knees touch your shoulders, you throw your legs against your partner’s shoulders. Now that you’re folded like a kind of protractor, your partner kneels in front of you. Because you’re in this origami position, you feel the penetration down to the deepest points of your body. Want to be a real kamasutra pro? Then the performing partner can kiss your toes or ankles to create a bit more intimacy.

4. Janukurpara

Let me give a warning in advance: you need some muscle for this. Just like in the Tripadam position, the lighter person is lifted up. Only now, that person doesn’t keep a leg on the ground but is fully held up. To make it a bit easier, the person in the air can wrap their arms around the neck of the lifter – that provides some stability. By standing upright, you can sink deep into each other, even more than on the bed. It does take a bit of a workout, but then you’ve got something.

5. Sammukha

Another example of good eye contact – very important in the kamasutra. Although the name sounds complicated, this position is very easy. One person stands against the wall or table with their legs spread. The penetrating partner stands in front and penetrates right there and then. After a few seconds, it’s no longer awkward, trust me.

6. Virsha (bull)

You’ve probably seen this one before as the reverse cowgirl. The penetrating partner (with their own tools or sex toys) lies on their back. The other turns around and slides in backward. This is the lucky spot because the one on top can determine everything: the pace, how angled you want to be, how deep you want to go. The stage is yours to command. And yes, we’re repeating ourselves a bit, but exactly that depth is what brings you so close together. Just say it’s from your kamasutra book, then you have an excuse for why you need to ’get away’ a bit more often.

Haven’t you had enough inspiration yet? Then it’s time to order that book after all.
