Kamasutra positions: your guide
What is the Kamasutra?
In short, the world’s oldest and most famous sex manual.
It’s thought that the Kamasutra may have been written in India around 400BC and it literally translates to “a treatise on pleasure”. A bit like tantric sex, it focuses on sex as a spiritual practice and encourages you to think outside the box when it comes to sexual wellness.

Keen to buy some toys to get your Kamasutra fun started?
We asked the brand director of Smile Makers, Cecile Gasnault, and sex expert, Ness Cooper, who has over ten years of experience as both a toy tester and sex therapist, for their go-to recommendations.
Generous Gel – £12.95 | Smile Makers
“This lubricant makes all positions fluid and easy,” shares Gasnault.
Meditation cushion – £78.48 | Amazon
Sex pillows will help when any sex positions seem impossible or uncomfortable, shares Cooper. “I’d recommend a half-moon meditation cushion for the vulva owner,” shares Gasnault.
7 Kamasutra positions to try for ultimate pleasure (with diagrams)
1. The Plough Kamasutra sex position
How do you do The Plough position?
Essentially an easier and more enjoyable version of the wheelbarrow, you lie tummy down on the bed with your top half rested on the bed and legs off the bed and straight out behind you. He is between your legs, supporting your lower half by your thighs. It takes practice but is worth every minute.
What’s the best toy for The Plough Kamasutra position?
“Nipple clamps or suckers are a win for the Plough sex position in particular, as the position allows you to tug and pull on them when they’re attached to your partner,” shares Cooper. “These underrated devices add a lot to sex and foreplay and also help the production of feel-good hormones that can make sex feel better and more connected.”
What’s good about The Plough position?
Of all the Kamasutra positions, the wheelbarrow is arguably the most exhausting. This alternative is all the fun without the pain. Plus when you’re tensing your leg muscles (which this active position requires) it tightens up your vagina, which gives the sensation of squeezing him tight from within. When you orgasm in this position, your muscles contract even tighter which gives you an even more intense sensation.
2. The Rider Kamasutra sex position
How do you do The Rider position?
This is basically the classic woman on top, but the key to its success is its flexibility. You have the option of switching between sitting upright so he gets more of a view or lying down flat chest to chest with him for increased intimacy. Add a vibrating ring for him if you want something different.
What’s the best toy for The Rider position?
“In this sex position, some of the best couples’ sex toys to try include the We-Vibe or Satisfyer Pro 4,” shares Cooper. Why? Well, as she explains, as on top riding positions help keep these sex toys in place. “This type of couple’s sex toy offers internal vaginal, external clitoral, and penis stimulation during penetration. Plus, the rhythmic movement of the hips also adds to the excitement and makes it more pleasurable for both involved particularly when pressure changes on the various sweet spots during passionate moments during sex.”
What’s good about The Rider position?
Because you are ultimately in control so can angle yourself exactly as you want it. Not all of us have our clitoris in the same place but this is one you can angle to where yours is for personal pleasure. It’s great if you’re a performer as you can sit up and indulge your inner sex goddess, while those with very large boobs that hurt when they jiggle up and down in this position can lie flat on their partner’s chest for a bit of relief.

3. The Amazon Kamasutra Position
How do you do The Amazon position?
He lies on his back and pulls his knees up to his chest so he’s curled up in a ball. He then pushes his penis back between his legs so it’s underneath them. You squat over him and rock backward and forwards.
What’s good about The Amazon position?
This is one that sounds bizarre but has to be tried to be believed. I’d always dismissed it in sex guides till I tried it out myself. Of all the Kamasutra positions, this one makes you feel incredibly powerful and is the closest you’ll ever get to feeling like a guy during sex without a strap-on.
4. The Frog Kamasutra Position
How do you do The Frog position?
It’s very simple and almost doggy, but instead of being on your hands and knees, you put your arms down flat and rest the whole front part of your body on the bed with bum up in the air.
What’s the best toy for The Frog position?
FYI, in this position, it can be hard to reach the clitoris or perineum, shares Cooper. “Introducing a cock ring may just add that much-desired stimulation to the sex positions mix,” she explains. “Lovehoney’s Desire cock ring is great. If you want to focus on clitoral stimulation, make sure the vibrating part is over the top of the vulva, for perineum stimulation swing it around so it faces behind the penis.”
What’s good about The Frog position?
You have your hands free so you can use them to stimulate yourself. His hands are also free for extra stimulation. Because you’re not balancing your weight on your hands, you have more energy to stay in the position for longer and your hands are free to play with him and yourself throughout.

5. The Hero Kamasutra Position
How do you do The Hero position?
You lie on your back in the backwards roll position, with your ankles by your ears, while he kneels and takes you whilst holding your legs back.
What’s the best toy for The Hero position?
The Hero is one of the most popular sex positions for G-spot stimulation, shares Cooper. “The way the body is positioned during this sex position means that if you introduce a vibrator, you may enjoy some pleasurable results.”
How so? Well, the way this position allows penetrations means you’re already likely to experience deep G-spot stimulation so when the strong vibrations are added to the mix female it can lead to female ejaculation and squirting, the sex expert explains. “A magic wand (read my Lovehoney Magic Wand review, here) is great for this sex position and the vibrations are strong enough to be felt by both enjoying The Hero Position.”
What’s good about The Hero position?
In terms of angle, this is perfect for G Spot stimulation, as his penis will rub directly against your G spot. This is also ideal for light BDSM fans because your ankles can be tied together or to the bedpost or held in place by him, which avoids you from getting cramp.
6. The Curled Angel Kamasutra Position
How do you do The Curled Angel position?
This is one you probably already do, otherwise known as – Spooning or ‘hangover sex’. But done right, can top the lot. A bit like pegging…
What’s good about The Curled Angel position?
Having come across a great many Kamasutra positions in my time, this is still one of my favourites because quite simply, if done right, it offers total sexual equality. In missionary or doggy, a man always tends to assume a bit more control. With this, you work together taking it in turns to lead, plus his hands are free so encourage him to play with you while you’re doing it so your orgasm comes more easily.

7. The Star Kamasutra Position
How do you do The Star position?
You lie on your back, like the missionary position, but with one leg bent and the other leg outstretched on the bed. He kneels between your legs, with one leg bent and the other lying flat on the bed. He sits so that his one leg is beneath the bent leg of you and the other leg bending around your flat outstretched leg, making a star shape.
What’s good about The Star position?
This is great for deep G Spot penetration. He can also touch your clitoris for extra stimulation. You can even touch your own clitoris while he’s free to play with your breasts. So you have all your erotic zones covered.
