For the uninitiated, here’s an important fact: Your clitoris is almost always the key to coming. So light some candles, fill up the tub, lie back, and let the faucet run straight onto your clit. (Don’t have a tub? If you have a removable shower head, point the nozzle there instead.)
The floor. Your bed. A couch. All you need for this position is a flat surface and your vibrator. Lying face down, use one hand to tuck the vibe between your legs and position it underneath you at a 45-degree angle (depending on the design and size of the device). Let gravity do the work for you as your weight against the vibrator builds up enough friction to make you climax.
If you’re a fan of girl-on-top sex, you’ll love this solo version of the position. Grab a pillow with a clean case that you can wash later, roll or scrunch it up so that it’s not too soft underneath you, and hold it there by straddling it. While this position can take a little longer because it’s a soft surface you’re grinding against, it can result in a heavenly drawn-out orgasm that’s just as good (or better) as the kind you’d get if that was a human under you.
Lying on one side, use both hands—au naturel or using a dildo or vibrator—to stimulate your clit. This position is particularly conducive to watching porn while you get off (no neck strains here), and the weight of your top leg pressing down on your hands or toy can help add extra friction that can be key to reaching orgasm.
Lie back, cross your legs, reach down, and touch yourself to see what feels good. This position is great for beginners who are exploring what works best for their bodies—it’s not too intense, complicated, or intimidating. The crossed legs can help your hands or vibrator stay in place once you’ve found the spot that feels good, and having one arm thrown over your head can help you arch your back to put your pelvis at a more orgasm-friendly angle.
