Sex positions for first-timers

Your partner has planned a romantic getaway. This will be the first time you will share intimate moments with him and you are sure that he too is looking forward to having sex with you. However, creativity can wait. It's better to keep it simple the first time. Missionary position This is the most uncomplicated sexual position ever. According to Dr Krishnakant Menon, a sexologist, it is a position both of you can be comfortable in. "It involves the man being on top of the woman. It works well if the woman is shy and the man needs to take control," he says. Go girl go! Why not take charge the first time and guide him? "Some men like it when the woman takes full control. You can take charge by getting on top of him. This is the reverse of the missionary position," says Dr Deepak Mehra, a sexologist. Down and dirty You have to get down on your fours and have him behind you. The woman needs to be in the crawling position and her partner is over her, entering her from behind. "This is highly pleasurable and a lot of young couples are known to enjoy it," explains Dr Menon. Stand by me A lot of couples like to do it standing. If there is too much of difference in your heights, you can let him sit while you remain standing. "If you want to sit, make sure you are seated on a platform so that he doesn't need to bend when he enters you," says Dr Mehra. Beside me The side-by-side sexual position is known to prolong sex and hence make things a little more exciting. "You do not climax too soon. When you are doing it for the first time you will probably want it to last for as long as it can," explains Dr Mehra. If you are sure you can get creative with sex the first time you do it, go for it! Be comfortable with your bodies and you should be able to make things exciting for both of you sooner than expected.
