7 Positions To Try Before Winter Ends

At some point, winter will end. That's the good thing about seasons: They come and go. But since this is an inevitable fact, at least at the moment before climate change really throws things for a loop, it's pretty much your duty to do everything you can that's winter-related before spring swings into full gear. Among all those things, winter sex positions should definitely be on that list.

Different seasons call for different sex positions. In the summer, you want sex positions that are little more hands-off, especially when the thermometer reaches well into the nineties. In fact, the summer is actually a fantastic time for quickies. You get in, get out, and everyone is happy that you didn't have to break too much of a sweat. On the flip side you have winter sex positions in which you want to get as much warmth as possible from your partner, so much so that sweating can actually feel good. You know, because it's cozy to be a bit sweaty during the winter months.

So before we say, "Auf Wiedersehen," to winter, here are seven sex positions to cross off your list first.

1

Weak In The Knees

How to do it: First, decide who'll be getting oral first, then assume the position. That position being, if you're up first, straddling your partner's face.

Why you should try it before winter ends: You already know that the genitals are very warm and cozy place, making it a perfect winter time position — it keeps your face nice and warm.

In A Chair

How to do it: With your partner on a chair, straddle them while facing them. Next, begin to grind.

Why you should try it before winter ends: Since you're on your partner's lap, unless you're very tall, there's a good chance that your feet won't reach the floor. Because of this, it requires a lot of exertion on your part to move because you don't have the floor for leverage. While exerting such effort in the winter is no big deal; during other seasons, it's not as delicious.

The Sofa Brace

How to do it: Basically, the sofa brace is the doggy style position while you're draped over the back of a couch.

Why you should try it before winter ends: Once the snow starts to melt and the temperatures start to creep up into the 50s, you'll find that you're outside far more than you were during the winter months when you were glued to your couch, consuming mass amounts of TV. Less time on the couch, means less opportunities for the sofa brace.

Spooning

How to do it: Get into the spooning position, then have your partner penetration you from behind.

Why you should try it before the winter ends: Although cuddle bugs tend to believe that every season is perfect for cuddling, the reality is that winter is the best and the rest of the seasons, not so much. As temperatures warm up, you want at least a little distance between you and your partner. So, do yourself a favor, and have as much sex as you can in this position. NOW.

Face To Face

How to do it: While facing your partner, lift your leg and lock it around their hip while they penetrate you.

Why you should try it before the winter ends: Also known as "belly to belly," this position is all about intimacy, coziness, and pretty much knocking bellies and faces. Ideal for the winter; not so ideal for spring or summer.

Modified Doggy

How to do it: You can either start in doggy style then lower yourself down or you can lower yourself down first, while your partner penetrates you from behind. Either way, once you get into position, it takes doggy style to a whole new level.

Why you should try it before the winter ends: Again we have a position that's all about closeness and body warmth. As someone who puts this position pretty far up on the top of my list and one that I engage in often, I can attest to the fact that it's ideal for winter. What it's not ideal for is spring or summer, especially summer. Even if you have the air conditioning blasting, your partner is going to slip and slide all over your back, which can be really sexy, but it's best practiced in the winter.

Lotus

How to do it: Have your partner sit with their legs crossed. Next, lower yourself into their lap — you might want to straddle them first — then wrap your arms and legs around them. From here, grind and rock back in forth, as the in-out movement is pretty limited in this position.

Why you should try it before the winter ends: Honestly, this is the ultimate winter position. You're locked in a hug, you're having sex, and the limited movement really prolongs the sex sesh — something that might lose its appeal once the winter passes.

Although we're still in the middle of winter, it's always good to look ahead and realize what you need to do now in preparation for the end of the season. So add these sex positions to your winter to-do list before it's too late.
