How many sex positions are there really?

[purplepoppy]

Google "sex positions" and you'll find huge numbers of positions from familiar doggy style to more obscure ones with weird sounding names. But hold on second, if I'm getting banged doggy style and I change hand positions or angle of my back does that really count as a new position? Let's be honest the differences between some positions are so small you can't really justify claiming it to be a new position.
Then there's the fact that every positions been named several times, one guys flying wheelbarrow is another mans dancing pony.

So in reality when you cut through the bullshit and rebranding how many unique sex positions are there+

[razelove]

I think there are only two positions, the ones that work (they feel good and don't lead to injury) and the ones that don't work. An example of one that didn't work was having a woman hang onto me while I was supporting both of our weight and kind of swinging us for lack of a better term.

She moved her arm, it knocked my arm from under me, we both fell and it knocked my shoulder out of socket. She didn't have the fortitude to pull it back in, so I had to call a friend over buck naked to bite a belt and pull it out to pop back in. That's a position that doesn't work.

Everything else I've tried that has gotten me and the woman I'm sleeping with off without injury is a position that works, whether it involves rope, zip ties, missionary, whatever.

Simplicity is a beautiful thing.

lol I am with you on the too many exotic (made for magazine ad) names... but may I argue infinite ones? :) I say that as each position can have many variations simply based on speed, rhythm and depth... Now if you are looking for the sheer number of physical positions two bodies can get into while having sex... then yes, I think you have more than a valid premise BUT... you need to factor in flexibility too lol... think of all the positions a guy can get with these women :) lol

Tagging @Brainsbeforebeauty because urban legend has it she was (and still is) pretty flexible lol :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Ok lol can't do 1, maybe 2🤔 definitely 3😁 old lady skills

[TCredo]

@Brainsbeforebeauty Go on... lol :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

You're eyeballs as used as your...🤐

[TCredo]

@Brainsbeforebeauty lol... I was going to ask how did you know but then I remembered your hidden cameras... lol :)

As long as you are enjoying sex, does it really matter what we call it?

you are right though about changing hand positions and stuff is kinda silly.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh I think we created our own, but that would be divulging too much info 😇😈😁

[MrOracle]

There are 6 or 7 main ones that have a number of fairly minor variations, as you have noted, and then there are 30-40 "just because it's barely possible" positions that people put in books and charts to prove that it's possible - but rarely are those positions particularly pleasurable, and even less often are they actually used by real couples.

[PrudentGuy]

I think the "basics" are Man on top, Woman on top, Rear Entry and 69.

The rest are mere variations like you wrote, like adding a pillow below, raise a leg, stand up, sit down, or some very aerobic moves that may land you in hospital 😄

In real life, when we have sex, whatever position we try, or switching from one to another in a session, the "feeling" change only with the major positions. Raising the legs may allow deeper penetration but that's all, little added pleasure if any.

So my Opinion, infinite "variations", but only a few positions. High sounding variations for the article to sound good, but standard positions that feels almost the same despite the variations. Thus I don't read the Kama Sutra 😜

[meesegoMoo]

Depends. Are we only assuming two people with all four limbs? What furniture is allowed? Anything done in freefall? Or only possible with certain injuries?

[WalsallGuy90]

I'd say there can be as many as you want, it just depends on your imagination. Personally I love trying out new and exciting positions with a partner...

[Lliam]

I love the way you framed your point, purplepoppy. I totally agree with you. Some of those names are absurd. And what's the purpose, to call them out during sex as if you're calling out football plays? "Alright, dancing pony on three. Ready? Hut one, hut two..." Wouldn't that detract from the spontaneity?
Or do people use those names so they can either brag about them to their friends, or keep track in their diaries? Or have a chart of all the possible sex positions with the goal of checking them off over time like checking off all the countries in the world or number states in the USA you have visited?
Who thinks like that when it comes to sex? It would kinda ruin it for me. It's not a competition.

[BuckWild]

Oh, bless you child. Missionary is the one and only sex position. All the others are sodomy because they make baby Jesus cry.

You strike me as as a rather ungodly woman who probably enjoys getting sodomized. I wouldn't have you any other way. :)

[normalice]

Effectively 4 (from behind or from the front, girl on top or bottom), with virtually infinite variations. Plus another three for oral. Though there is one that can be done if a girl is thin enough, on her side with her bottom leg straight and her top leg forward and bent at the knee for comfort. The guy straddles her bottom leg and has access to basically everything he'd want to touch or fuck. Not sure if this position has a name, but it works well.

[0112358]

You’re right.
Makes more sense to count orifices.

[yoganshB]

You can have sex on your bed... on a chair... on a sofa... on a bench... on a tree😹... in a car... in a bus... on the floor... there are more place to have sex than positions (basic ones) so according to the place you can change you position and it must vary place to place because no place is same hence my conclusion is - I don't know😹🙌

[chriscdi]

they are endless, i made up mine tho

[ZeussLightningBolt]

When you guys change positions on us without telling us, we end up in the ER with a broken dick

[crmoore]

At least 4

[blondfrog]

To me the behind and front. Because realistically whatever position I am in I will only be able to see her behind or the front side of her lol.

[Meatunnel69]

Yes you are correct i would add too a longer member is key to doing all of them

[yuviii2012]

156 as identified by kamasutra... and but I read about 95 only

[COMMODOREII]

I have no idea. But get back to me when you figure it out. 😜

[navyP]

I think the number is unlimited

[BoxySama]

It's all about the angle of your legs and the way you flex the muscles around your vaginal canal

[DomTreddo]

There's kama sutra and other positions so a fuck ton of positions to rock the chair with

[Slim57]

As many as you can think of
