In some cases, switching up positions might even be a must. "If you're thinking 'ouch' when the offer of sex is put on the table, you could definitely benefit from exploring other positions that are more comfortable for folks [with limited mobility or who are disabled], as well as those with chronic pain, or pain from penetration," Parks adds. But even after you’ve found that pain-free position, that doesn’t mean it’s your only option. While it’s easy to become a creature of habit as soon as you’ve nailed that go-to, comfortable, climax-every-time position, Parks urges you to keep mixing it up. There are SO many possibilities out there—some even beyond your wildest imagination. The texts speak of some people of a ‘third nature’ (nature meaning sexuality, according to Doniger), which these days would probably translate to something like ‘non-binary’.

First thing to know: don’t believe all the hype and myths from movies, porn, and TV. Orgasms for folks with vulvas aren’t an easy get through penetration alone, nor are they so elusive and complicated that they aren’t worth trying for. In reality, surveys say only about 57 percent of us are climaxing every time we have sex, and that’s usually when a form of stimulation other than penetration is involved. In fact, according to a 2017 study published in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, 37 percent of American women required clitoral stimulation to experience an orgasm, and only 18 percent (!) of women said they were able to come on vaginal penetration alone. Switch It Up Penetration can be improved if the woman drapes both her legs over her partner’s waist, Bradbury says. This allows great access to the clitoris, which can be stimulated with a finger or with a toy. “I think this is a great position for everyone. It offers the comfort of cuddling, too.” The Kama Sutra goes into great detail about ways of touching a potential lover, from a woman putting a hand on a man’s chest, all the way to full intercourse. The text says there are four types of embrace, each to be used at different points in the relationship. The four types of embrace are:However, there are some fun ways to slightly deviate from the norm and experiment with basic sex positions.For people with a vulva, the best-feeling positions are often the ones that stimulate your clitoris: where you’re on top, or doing reverse cowgirl, etc. These typically lead to clitoral orgasm, which is the most common type and typically the easiest to access. But that’s not the only way to come , just so you know. Deep penetration can in some cases stimulate you in other places, leading to other kinds of orgasms — G-spot or cervical, for instance. And you’re not going to get to those deeper orgasms if you keep taking the shortcut and using the same position to get off (not that we blame you). This position is a great one as it allows the man to deeply penetrate the woman, which feels great for him, and – unlike many other missionary-based positions – will give her a good chance of enjoying a blended orgasm.

With that in mind, let us have a look at some of the best recommended sexual positions of the Kama Sutra! A sex swing might be the ideal answer to working your way through the joys of the Kama Sutra’s best. 5 Kama Sutra Positions for Better Sex The penis may not provide sufficient stimulation to the clitoris for many women to reach orgasm. Additionally, the man is resting on his arms and cannot use his hands for additional clitoral stimulation. (If this is a problem, the woman may want to consider providing that additional stimulation herself.) Another one that is excellent for any flat surface, the sweet, wide-open energy of the Happy Scissors sex position is totally erotic. Again, the penetrating partner can adjust depth depending on how they support the recieving partners legs. It also gives access to other erogenous zones down the legs and feet, for folks who are into that.Another position made for anal newbies, On the Stomach is a great option for deep, gentle penetration. The big plus? The receiving partner gets to relax on their stomach, with some support from a pillow or blanket under their head. The chill position helps both partners get comfortable, which is a surefire way to make anal more comfortable and pleasurable. After all, not having control over an object moving in and out of your mouth can be both physically and psychologically uncomfortable in the wrong context, or if you accidentally trigger your partner's gag reflex. Many couples are figuring out exactly those benefits, according to research funded by the Kinsey Institute at the University of Indiana that examined sex during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

The latest version, by Doniger and Kakar, is widely acclaimed as ‘the’ translation – although it, too, has some detractors. Some critics claim that Doniger inserts – as did Burton all those years ago – her own points of view and sometimes allows personal opinions to color phrasing and interpretations instead of fiercely clinging to the essence of the text.
