Last longer in bed: 10 positions to try

31 Jan 2022

Premature ejaculation is the foremost sexual dysfunction for men under 30. Although the average length of penetrative sex is 10 minutes, 60% of men would like to last longer in bed!

Changing positions to make the pleasure last

Certain sex positions help last longer in bed. In fact, minimizing muscular tension during intercourse allows the man to relax and therefore better control ejaculation. Shallow penetration and slower pace also help. This is why so-called passive positions can make intercourse last longer.

For the same reason, doggy style and missionary are best avoided. The latter positions tend to over-simulate, accelerate pace, and generate muscular tension, increasing the risk of premature ejaculation.

10 positions to last longer in bed and vary the pleasure

Frequently changing positions during lovemaking can help delay ejaculation. Here are ten passive sex positions to make intercourse last longer and lessen the risk of early ejaculation .

Riding or Cowgirl

In this position, the man lies back, or sits back against cushions, and his partner sits on him. This position tends to be particularly enjoyable for the partner, as they can manage the rhythm, angle and speed of penetration as they prefer.

The Swing or Reverse Cowgirl

This is a variant of Riding. The man lies on his back, but this time his partner turns their back on him. This position generates relatively little muscle tension for the man, and provides a pleasant penetration angle for his partner.

Spooning

The partners lie on their sides, with the man behind his partner. In addition to providing greater closeness, it involves shallow penetration, which helps controlling ejaculation .

Sensual fusion

The man lies on his side facing his partner, who wraps a leg around his waist. This position slows down the man’s rhythm. It is sensual, comfortable and easy for both.

Little horse

This position results in shallow penetration. The man sits on a chair or armchair. His lover sits on his lap, feet on the ground, back turned to him. The man can move his partner with his hands, or the partner may set the pace.

Amazon

The man sits on a chair or armchair, with his partner on his lap, with their legs wrapped around him. There is also a side-saddle variant of this position, with the lovers perpendicular. This allows the man to remain passive, while his partner takes control.

Folding chair

This is a variation of missionary which slows the pace of penetration. The partner is on their back facing the man. The partner lifts their legs and places them against the man’s torso to slow down his movement.

Flight of gulls

The man stands or kneels at the side of the bed. His partner lies on the bed facing him, with their buttocks at the edge of the mattress. The man raises his legs to penetrate his partner. The advantages of this position are that it (i) tends to slow things down, reducing the risk of premature ejaculation, and (ii) gives the lovers a full view of each other.

The Cross

The couple form a cross with their bodies. The man lies on his side, whereas his partner is on their back, with one leg in the air. The lovers are perpendicular. The man slips between his partner’s legs to penetrate. By reducing penetration depth, this position avoids penile overstimulation, one of the causes of premature ejaculation .

Lotus position

The lotus position provides confidence and sensuality during sex. The man sits in the lotus position with his partner on his lap. The partner wraps their legs around him, and holds him by the shoulders. In this position, both partners can take their time, and indulge in special intimacy.
