While there are dozens of different types of sex positions, this article highlights some of the most common. Be sure to experiment with a variety of different sex positions in order to find the one that works best for you. Remember that while one sex position may work great with a specific partner, it may not necessarily be effective with another partner. It is essential that both partners enjoy the pose for the best sexual results.

Missionary position. This is one of the most common sexual positions. In this sex position, the woman lies on her back with her legs extended in front of her body. The man kneels in front on the woman, while facing her. Advanced forms of this pose involve the man holding the woman's legs on his shoulders or in the crook of his elbows.

Doggy-style. This is another common sexual position. For this sex pose, the woman must come onto all four with her back arched and her rear sticking into the air. The man should be kneeling on the bed behind her, entering her from the rear. While this pose can comfortably allow vaginal entry, it is also a great, beginning way to try anal sex.

The reverse cowgirl. Finally, this is a great sexual position that is gaining in popularity. This pose is similar to the missionary position, with the exception of the man on the bottom. In addition, the woman should be facing away from the man, with her rear facing him.
