How it works 

Corkscrew is a twisty, intimate move with a side of spice. The receiver lies on their side at the edge of the bed, bum out. The giver straddles one of the receivers legs and enters from behind, whilst the receiver twists toward that leg, hooking their free leg around the giver’s waist. Twist locked, pleasure unlocked. 

Skill Factor 

Flexibility and core strength help pull this off smoothly. There’s some twisting and leg maneuvering involved, but once you're in position, it’s more snug than strenuous. Just move slow and adjust as needed. 

Pleasure Rating 

The twisted angle boosts friction and clitoral contact, especially when the receiver squeezes their legs together. Vulva-owners might discover new sweet spots, while penis-owners get that firmer, friction-filled feel. It’s a pleasure win all round. 

Bonus Benefits 

With at least one hand free, toys and teasing are easy to add in. This position is made for extra stimulation—try a vibe, some oral, or hand play for next-level intensity. The corkscrew is a total game-changer.

  • The Helicopter Position

    Get ready for lift-off! The receiver drops to elbows and knees while the giver positions themselves side-by-side, facing the receiver’s feet. Then, with some acrobatic flair, the giver lifts their legs over the receiver’s hips and lowers their pelvis onto their partner’s bum, arms in push-up mode to stay steady. Entry is from above, with gravity adding an extra twist to the ride.

  • Missionary Position

    Classic and cosy, missionary is the ultimate face-to-face connection. The receiver lies on their back, the giver climbs on top, resting on elbows—or fully laying down for max closeness. Here, it's all about eye contact, deep kisses, and full-body intimacy. Whether you're using a penis, strap-on, or just going skin-to-skin, missionary is about connection and closeness—with the bonus of easy access and rhythm control.

  • Cowgirl & Reverse Cowgirl Positions

    Cowgirl is all about taking the reins. The partner doing the penetrating lies back, while the receiver straddles them, knees out wide and faces forward. Flip it around for reverse cowgirl, where the top partner rides facing away—same straddle, different view. Add toys or strap-ons, and any pairing can play!
