What is the Corkscrew Sex Position?

The Corkscrew Sex Position is a penetrative sex position that falls under the Missionary category and can be done by any kind of couple. We’re talking penis owner-vulva owner, vulva owner-vulva owner (with the usage of a strap-on dildo), to a penis owner-penis owner couples respectively. Penetration-wise, it can be vaginal or anal. Plus, it resembles a corkscrew, hence its unique name.

What Makes The Corkscrew Sex Position Fun?

Unravel the different ways this sex position elicits enjoyment and excitement within a couple.

1 It can spice up your sex life.

Doing the same-sex positions repeatedly makes the sex feel boring and like a routine over time. It may have served you well initially when it was new, but only resorting to that erases the excitement in sex. Hence, trying new sex positions, such as the Corkscrew Sex Position, may bring back sparks and a fresh sense of adventure with your partner.

Moreover, we emphasize the importance of communication as you bring up this sex position to your partner and ask for their thoughts about it. It’ll put you two on the same page, being transparent and open about your old and new interests.

2 There’s closer access to erogenous zones.

During the corkscrew sex position, the giver straddles the receiver’s leg. That brings them much closer to their body, making it easier to stimulate various erogenous zones like the nipples, breasts, neck or nape, inner thighs, pubic hairline, clit (if they’re a vulva owner), testicles (if they’re a penis owner), and so much more.

With that in mind, it gives more room for sexual stimulation and pleasure and even a blended orgasm.

3 It makes room for sexy power play.

There’s a giver and receiver aka. A dominant and submissive. Whether or not you involve extra BDSM here, playing around with power dynamics can further spark excitement and thrill. For instance, the submissive can mess around with their partner’s cock or strap-on dildo while the dominant can pin their hands down or even slap their butt aka. impact play!

4 It involves deep penetration.

If you’re a fan of that, then this sex position may be for you. Especially if you’re a vulva owner and your deep pleasure spots (aside from the G-spot) haven’t been hit as much as you wanted, the corkscrew position lets you angle your bodies a lot differently. Given that you’re twisted, and you have one leg wrapped around your partner, it may lead to more pinpointed stimulation. Then for the penis owner or vulva owner with strap-on dildo, they’d have better control and insert themselves in deeper (and feel more pleasure).

5 You get to see each other eye to eye.

Eye contact during sex is both sensual and hot. Looking at your partner when they’re taking control, or you’re on top of them can elicit so much pleasure and opportunities to heat things up. You feel seen and more vulnerable, yet you also know that you can trust them and vice versa. For instance, you can even add dirty talk, followed by actions that propel them.

Things to Look Out For When Doing This Sex Position

The corkscrew position can be tricky with all the angles and twists involved. For instance, it’s important to have the strength to lift and carry yourselves. Not fully doing so can cause stress and a change in mood between you and your partner. Flexibility is also crucial,  especially for the receiver, whose legs are situated in different places and angles.

But all in all, it’s important not to overdo your body and even warm up and exercise beforehand to gain extra strength and endurance for this sex position. Plus, give each other grace and patience when you’re still starting out here.

How to Do the Corkscrew Position

On to the fun part! Let’s break down the basic steps on how to do in this rather sensual sex position:

1. The receiver lies down flat on their back on the bed.
2. The giver joins them in bed and on their knees.
3. The giver straddles one of the receiver’s thighs and slides their length or strap-on dildo inside their partner.
4. The receiver twists towards the leg that’s being straddled, and their free leg links around the giver’s waist.
5. The receiver also supports themselves on one arm adjacent to the leg that’s being straddled while the other arm stays on the giver’s back for extra support.
6. The giver holds the linked leg of the receiver to keep them stable as they thrust in and out.
7. The receiver may grind along to further meet their hips against the giver’s.
8. Special additions like a pillow or sex toys can be used to enhance the experience.
9. When done, the giver slowly pulls down the receiver’s linked leg, or the receiver can put it down on the bed.
10. The giver pulls out, and both of them and the receiver proceed to do aftercare.

The Corkscrew sex position can also be done standing as long the receiver stays near the edge to meet with their partner’s groin. From there, the succeeding steps are quite the same. 

Moreover, don’t skip or swiftly skim through the sexual aftercare stage because it’s what helps both of you transition back to reality after such emotional, physical, and sexual involvement with one another. It’s also an act of respect towards one another. Not following through may lead to post-coital dysphoria or potential conflict in your relationship, whether it’s exclusive or not.

How to Make This Sex Position More Enjoyable

Enhance your sexcapades with the corkscrew sex position with these fun and helpful tips.

1 Add some sex toys.

Once you follow the step-by-step guide we provided and find your flow as you do this sex position, take things up a notch further with sex toys. From vibrators, clit suckers, and anal plugs to even BDSM ones like nipple clamps, a lot of them can be used and played around with. It’s all about creativity and having an open mind. Moreover, sex toys are what make this sex position accessible, especially for vulva owner-vulva owner couples with the strap-on dildo. Other ideas you can incorporate here are either place a bullet vibrator against the receiver’s clit if they’re a vulva owner or wrap a cock ring around the receiver’s cock if they’re a penis owner. Heck, even a vulva owner can peg their penis owner partner here if you’re into that!

2 Place a pillow.

Placing a pillow under your lower back and hips can make it easier to lift your body during penetration. It also makes the sex feel more comfortable when things do get fast and intense.

3 Take breaks in between.

The corkscrew sex position, just like any other sex position, can be tiring. Sex is strenuous as it is, so while you’re still starting out, be aware of your body so you know when it’s time to take a breather. You may opt to have a safe word or to stop after one round and then continue if you both choose to.

4 Explore different angles, paces, and locations.

Exploration is the opposite of routine. Not seeking out novel ways to switch things up, even the small ones, can encourage boredom over time. Hence, it’s key to explore and unravel various ways how to do this sex position. 

In terms of angles, the receiver can twist a little bit more so the giver can hit another sweet spot. Or maybe handcuff the receiver when you’ve gotten used to the ropes. As for pace, try slowing it down if you’ve only liked it rough and fast. Location-wise, try the couch as there are cushions everywhere to comfort both of you and also room to explore deeper angles.

5 Use lube!

Lube makes the experience a lot smoother and fluid, especially when you’re taking things from the back. The last thing you’d want to experience is friction or irritation. Whether you do the corkscrew position vaginally or anally, adding lube makes the experience more enjoyable and safer. While this may be optional if a vulva owner is involved since the vagina secretes natural wetness, it’s a must if you’re doing it from the back. 

Again, you avoid getting irritation or any other injuries back there. We suggest using water-based lube, wherein you continuously add as you do the deed.

Takeaway

The Corkscrew Sex Position is a steamy take on the classic Missionary position if you and your partner want to heat things up. But aside from that, it can simply be a new adventure to go on if you’re both always trying new things in the bedroom.

With that said, we encourage you to keep an open mind about sex and to always seek out new adventures together. Be more communicative with each other and your needs so your sex life will stay on top and your relationship and bond get stronger.
