When it comes to the best sex positions, normally people are looking for ways to get some real quality time between them and your partner, normally at the end of the day right before it's time for bed. But sex doesn't always need to drain the energy out of you so you can crash into the pillow— in fact, it can give you a little energy boost. Afternoon delight is a great way to put a little bounce in your step. But to be honest any time of day can be perfect to give you a little dose of energy— if you're sticking with the right positions.
So what are the kind of sex positions that are going to give you more energy? Well, it's mostly positions that are going to make you feel super empowered and are perfect for a quickie. That means it can be like a little boost in the middle of your day— or first thing in the morning— rather than a long, lingering sex session that is just going to make you want to (literally) hit the hay after. No matter what kind of sex you like to have— romantic, kinky, fast, slow— there's an energy-boosting position that will work for you. These are the positions you should try if you're looking for a little boost.

In A Chair
How To Do It: While your partner sits in a chair, straddle them and lower yourself down. For a more intimate experience face toward them, but you can also face away and lean back— which is just as sexy.

There are so many ways sex can give you an energy boost, so even when you're tired you don't have to skip it. In fact, finding some time in the morning or afternoon will make the rest of your day all the better.
