THIS is the most popular sex position in the Netherlands

It's getting hotter, hotter and then some hotter. The temperature is peaking and clothes are getting a little scarcer with every degree. And that means? We are massively more in the mood for sex. At the moment, there is one position that is especially popular in the Netherlands and it is finally not missionary.

The old trusty missionary, on the other hand, is losing firmly when it comes to popularity. At the moment, the lotus position is especially popular in the bedroom (and probably beyond). Does this name immediately make you think of yoga? Then you're pretty much on the right track. Only this particular lotus is one to be performed in pairs. The position has its origins in the more tantric corner. Tantra is mainly about prolonging pleasure and increasing intimacy between sex partners. Not surprisingly, the lotus fits in so well here. Because you perform a mirrored lotus position together, you look deep into each other's eyes while doing the deed.

Howdy, cowgirl!

How that works in practice? Practice makes... art, in this case. One partner wraps their legs around the other, while at the same time penetration takes place. Because your faces and bodies are so closely entwined, there is almost no more intimate position imaginable. At number two is the ever-popular cowgirl, followed only by the good old missionary. In cowgirl, you sit on top and ride your partner, so to speak. Forget the standard up-and-down movement. Apparently, the main thing is that your back is at a 90-degree angle for greater pleasure. Just think of the geodrome for reference, and you'll be pretty much in the direction. If you combine this with a dancing movement of the hips, it's not only fan-tas-tic for your partner but also for yourself. The conclusion of this explanation: don't think too much about it, just give it a try.

The 5 most popular sex positions in the Netherlands:

  • Lotus pose
  • Cowgirl
  • Missionary attitude
  • Standing position
  • Doggy style

Fun fact! Germans and Americans get especially wild about position 69. You know, where you orally satisfy each other upside down at the same time. In the Netherlands, this position doesn't even pop up in the top five. So don't be surprised if you are having sex abroad this summer and suddenly end up in this position. Then again, the standing position is a much sought-after term. However, it is not entirely clear whether people are mainly looking for the instructions for this position or whether it is actually done more often. We can imagine something about the former.

Why is it that we massively crave more sex during the summer? That, of course, has everything to do with nudity and a bit more free time on our hands. The days are longer, increasing the chances of having sex, and weekends are extended with an extra day off here and there. So holidays and free time do a sex life extremely well, but it's not just that. More sunshine produces more vitamin D and that has a beneficial effect on the production of testosterone and oestrogen. Better known as the hormones that have a positive effect on our sex drive and thus increase the likelihood of making love. It's one big win-win-win situation, this sun and summer.About hot weather and feeling like sex

Experiment more

By the way, did you know that our online search behaviour immediately reveals that we become more keen on these conscious physical activities? Not only does it have a positive impact on frequency, but it also influences our willingness to experiment a little more. The most searched search term in the Netherlands are: BDSM, anal and foot fetish. A game of bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism ranks worldwide as the most searched (and probably found) fetishes. Along with anal and ‘dirty talk’, they generate particular interest online.

It is worth remembering, though, that BDSM is an umbrella term for multiple sexual preferences. It is an umbrella for all kinds of fetishes. Just because you happen to go wild for a bit of bondage and domination doesn't mean you're up for sadism or masochism, of course. Still, that's useful to mention in the terms and conditions if you decide to put a fantasy into practice with a partner one day.

Want to shake up the sheets yourself? This is your moment. The willingness to experiment seems a lot greater in the summer months than in the cosy winter months, so you already know what timeframe you have to bring up something different with a sex partner. And then, finally, we wish you a hot and steamy summer in advance. Goes and, you get it.
