14 Winter Sex Positions That’ll Turn Up the (Body) Heat

Maximize skin-to-skin contact by getting as close as possible. “This position allows full body contact to keep you warm,” says Hilliard. It’s also great for stimulating the upper wall of the vagina. “Slow rhythmic pressure there can feel amazing and potentially bring about powerful orgasms for the receiver.” A lie-on vibrator will make sure your clit gets some love too.

“Sometimes the only place to get warm in the winter is in the shower, so crank up the heat and get steamy with a shared shower on a cold winter’s night,” says Osborn. “Take time to explore their body—wash their hair, massage their scalp and down their neck and shoulders, and relax into each other as you wash away the day,” she says. “If you both want penetration to happen, try a waterproof cock ring. Bonus tip: Throw your towels in the dryer and have some hot cocoa waiting for maximum snuggly comfort after the deed is done.”

“Sometimes you need to spice up the long winter nights with a little kinky action,” says Osborn. “Consider incorporating some light BDSM play with a blindfold and some inexpensive restraints into the action while you go down on your partner. You might be surprised at how much intensity a simple blindfold can add, whether you’re giving or receiving.”

“Build a bundle blanket fort in your living room or patio, and have sex in the fort wearing nothing but socks,” suggests Luvbites podcast host Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, PhD, professor of Human Communication Studies at California State University, Fullerton. Add in some dual-warming clit or perineum toys, if you’re feeling it

Is physical touch you or your partner’s love language? “Try giving your partner a tantric massage,” says Suwinyattichaiporn. “Massage allows you to connect with your partner and study their body. It’s winter, so get warm with a proper massage candle,” says Suwinyattichaiporn. End the massage with a lubey handjob.

“Experimenting with toys that add a component of temperature play can be a lot of fun,” says Megan Fleming, PhD, a Lovehoneysex expert, who recommends stainless steel sex toys that can be cooled or heated for internal stimulation or perineum play. (Glass works too.) Cooling or heating a toy (not too much though!) intensifies sensations so you’re super aware of what’s happening. Put a toy on ice or dip it in warm water beforehand. You can glide the toy over your partner’s body to tease them or use it vaginally or anally.

“Lean down toward your partner during woman-on-top so you’re getting more skin-to-skin contact,” says Fleming. If you want to combine skin-to-skin and temperature play elements (multitasking!), warm some lube and tease your partner by sliding your slippery breasts against their chest. Or start with a long massage using the warm oil from a massage candle.

Maximize contact and the chance of having an orgasm during P-in-V with the coital alignment technique, which is way sexier than its name. The penetrating partner is on top, like in missionary, but shifts upward so their pelvic bone is pressing against the receiver’s clit. “The idea is that it’s more rocking and rubbing so there’s more friction with your bodies pressed up against each other,” says Fleming. Incorporate a toy for maximum pleasure.
