No longer shrouded in shame, missionary is having a moment!

Gone are the days of overlooking this classic position — real ones know that the missionary position offers incredible opportunities for intimacy and exploration, and they aren’t afraid to claim it.

Whether you're looking to deepen emotional connection, introduce playful elements, or explore sensory experiences, I’ve got a tip for you! Each suggestion listed offers a unique twist to level up your missionary game and enhance those intimate moments with your partner.

So go ahead, give these tips a try, and experience for yourself what all the hype is about!

Dirty Talk

The missionary position creates one of the best opportunities for intimate and passionate dirty talk. Being so close to your partner allows you to whisper naughty secrets in their ear, while maintaining deep eye contact can create a powerful emotional connection and further turn up the heat. Depending on your partner's comfort level, you can experiment with a range of expressions of lust, fantasy, and desire, from romantic whispers to explicit erotic scenarios. Don't be afraid to communicate your needs and explore what turns each of you on.

Screen Foreplay

Integrating porn into foreplay with a partner can add to the heat in a big way. Who says having a TV in the bedroom can't enhance your sex life?! Position the screen beforehand for a comfortable viewing angle, allowing you to seamlessly transition from spooning to missionary. Longer films with a story line can be a great fit for this. Just remember to establish trust and comfort with the idea before bringing it into the bedroom or a sexual session.

Nibble N' Suck Earlobes

If your partner enjoys having their ear lobe sucked or nibbled-on, this one can send them over the top. Good technique requires balance, timing, and nuance. Listen to their feedback, pay attention to their body language, and follow their cues.

Love Bites

Caressing, kissing, and sucking your partner's neck can be a surefire way to create intense pleasure. Keep in mind that visible signs of such encounters, like hickeys, may not be desirable by everyone. It's important to communicate with your partner and respect their boundaries regarding any marks or signs left on their body.

Nipple Play with Ice Cubes

Experiment with temperature play by adding ice cubes to the mix. Start by placing a small bowl of ice cubes nearby, and use them to tease and tantalize your partner's nipples and surrounding skin. Watch their reaction as the temperature changes and their nipples become perky and hard. Then, add some warmth by licking, sucking, and playing with the hardened nipple using your mouth. Repeat as desired.

Chocolate Kisses

Keep some bite-sized chocolates near the bed and savor the sweet sensation. Share a deep, chocolatey kiss with your partner, allowing them to taste the delicious treat on your tongue. It's a simple and sensual way to add a little extra spark to any session.

Flex on 'em

Masculine friends, if you've been hitting the gym and have strong upper body muscles, use them to your advantage! While you're on top, try getting into a push-up position and flex your muscles for your partner's visual enjoyment. Maintain that position as you continue to thrust inside your partner. Let their fingers trace the contours of your muscles as you move together, heightening the pleasure for both of you.

Switch up the Scenery

Take things out of the bedroom and into a new location! Whether it's the sofa, a secluded beach, or even the back of an SUV, a change of scenery can make even the most classic position feel brand new. Let the thrill of a different environment add excitement to your intimate experience.

So, don't let routine dampen the excitement in your sex life - embrace the pleasure and connection that await you. Not every novel thing has to be a grand new adventure. Let your inhibitions go, unleash your imagination, and rediscover the thrill of intimate exploration.

Tonight, take your missionary game beyond the basics and explore these exciting techniques that might just make the missionary position a newfound favorite ;)
