Five Tight Sex Positions For You and Your Main Squeeze

Before diving into the glory that is tight sex positions, let’s get one thing straight: Your vagina is perfect the way it is, and it already feels great for your partner. The whole concept of vaginas being “loose” or “tight” is a myth. They’re magical, elastic body parts that expand and contract through the many phases of life, and they will usually return to their normal size. But, if you want to explore what an even tighter sensation might do for both you and your partner during sex, or your vagina doesn’t feel quite the same after childbirth, these tight sex positions can make the difference between meh sex and sex that makes your eyes roll back into your head.

“You might like extra pressure or friction against your lips, clitoris or internally,” says Jess O’Reilly, PhD, resident sexologist at Astroglide. “If you’re having sex with a penis, your partner may enjoy the sensation of a more snug fit.” Remember, none of this is about anyone’s size and is more about how you fit together, says O’Reilly. So the key is finding the right fit and angle for the best sensation possible. Here are some glorious tips to maximize that squeeze.

Use your fingers

“Ask your partner to add fingers while they are penetrating you,” says Carmel Jones, a relationship expert who writes about sex, dating, and relationships at The Big Fling. You can also press a lubed finger across the bottom of your partner’s shaft or encircle it with your thumb and finger as they penetrate. Instant tightness and magic extendo vagina!

Add some Kegels

“Doing Kegel exercises on your own can contribute to a tightness in the long run, but doing them during sex can help you clench your partner or your dildo during sex itself,” says Jones.

Use pillows

“A positioning pillow, or even a repurposed regular pillow, is a great way to adjust the angle of penetration in different positions and create the feeling of a tighter fit,” says Isabelle Uren, a certified sexpert and writer at Bedbible.com.

Throw a toy in there

Try a wearable, C-shaped vibrator designed to be worn during sex. “The internal part sits inside the body, delivering vibrations that can be enjoyed by both partners while also adding a little more fullness to the feeling of penetration. The other part sits outside the body, giving the wearer some extra clitoral stimulation,” says Uren. (The We-Vibe Chorus is great for this.)

Two words: Butt plug

“A quick and easy way to create a fuller feeling inside the vagina is to wear a butt plug at the same time,” saysEmma Hewitt, sex educator, host and producer of sex-positive podcast The Electric Rodeo, and sex toy expert at Adult Toy Mega Store. “The shared wall between the anus and the vagina is thin and including a plug can push against the vaginal canal creating more pressure.” Physics in action!

Try this pulling trick

“Pull up on your pubic mound with your fingers. This stimulates the clitoris, provides extra pressure around the shaft of the penis and more sensation at the bottom of your lips near the fourchette, which can be a hot spot for many,” says O’Reilly. (FWIW, I had to look up fourchette too.)

Once you’ve got those down, assume one (or all five) or these super tight feeling positions.
