When someone talks about their favorite sex positions, there's normally a big difference between porn and reality — a really big difference. There are the positions that people actually do in the bedroom (or wherever else they get it on), then there are the ones that we like to watch on screen. These are mostly designed to look good on camera — and are executed by some super bendy, professionals that are porn stars. But what about the off-camera? What are porn stars favorite positions to do? It's an interesting question, because they are certainly the experts on the different ways to have sex. Most porn stars will have tried far more positions than us mere mortals, so whatever they settle on as their favorite sex position must be pretty great.
Luckily, there's a lot of porn stars out there talking about their favorite positions. For an overview, and to save you from stumbling on some NSFW sites at work, I've got the top five positions that porn stars most often refer to as their favorite. And I have to say, they might surprise you.
So here are five sex positions that porn stars love — and they're nowhere near as wild as you think:
1. Missionary
Who Loves It: Big names like Asa Akira have named missionary as the favorite. Not only that, a Wood Rocket video asked porn stars about what position they orgasmed in the most— and it was good ole missionary that came out on top.
Top Tricks: Don't think of it as boring. You can have your legs up, a pillow under your hips. He can be really close to your face or almost sitting up completely. There's lube, there's toys, there's your hands— just try everything.
2. Doggy
Who Loves It: Well, lots of people. Because it's a damn sexy position. "I love to watch my ass bounce," porn star Julie Cash told The Spizzy Blog. "Yes, I’m guilty also. And I love to rub my clit and grab balls."
Top Tricks: Another one with lots of options! You can control the movement or he can plus you can move your legs really close together for a super-tight fit. Also try moving it to the couch, if you want to really shake things up.
3. Spoon
Who Loves It: We all love it for cuddling, but a lot of us like it for forking as well. Porn star Aidra Fox told Adult DVD Talk: "My favorite position is spoon. I love spoon."
Top Tricks: Your pelvis needs to be a bit higher up than your partner's and it's a tight fit at first, so don't worry if it takes you a while to get it. Try lifting your top leg and using lube. Once you're there, it's a great position for dirty talk, clit play, nipple play— just lay back and enjoy everything.
4. Cowgirl
Who Loves It: Maybe not surprising with sex-confident porn stars, cowgirl was another popular one— with Sara Jay among others naming it as her favorite. Although as Jay said, it can depend on the partner.
Top Tricks: It's a position where you're in control, so go for it. Use your spare hands for your nipples or clitoris. You can lean forward for a more intimate feel or backward to feel like you're a porn star yourself.
5. Being Dominated
Who Loves It: Just because porn stars are confident, doesn't mean they don't enjoy being submissive. "Any position where the man is on top of me or controlling what I do," porn star Kristina Rose said. "I like to feel the weight of a dude pushing me around."
Top Tricks: There are lots of levels you can play with when it comes to being dominated. Try easing into with dirty talk or with a position like modified doggy, which can be dominant while still feeling sexy and connected.
