When it comes to masturbation, we all have our go-to. You know the one — the comfy position that just works, every single time. And hey, no shade! There’s comfort in consistency.
But just like how switching up positions during partnered sex can unlock new sensations, angles, and surprises…the same goes for solo play.
This Masturbation May, we challenge you to step outside your usual routine and discover what else your body might love.
Here are five solo positions to explore — plus tips and toys to make them even more orgasmic.💦
1. The Classic: Lying on Your Back
Why it’s a fav: It’s relaxing, low-effort, and gives you great visibility for watching porn, scrolling spicy fanfic, or just letting your imagination run wild.
Try this: Place a pillow under your hips to change the angle of stimulation — especially helpful for G-spot or prostate access. Add a bullet vibe or wand for external stimulation, and experiment with edging to extend your pleasure.
Best for: Lazy pleasure, clitoral stimulation, using strokers or dildos without needing to hold your body up.
2. On Your Stomach (aka “The Grind”)
Why it’s great: Lying on your stomach creates some pressure and opens the door to hands-free humping, grinding, or rubbing. This position can also allow for deeper sensation in some bodies.
Try this: Straddle a folded pillow, or place a toy like a vibe or dildo beneath you (or in a toy mount!), then rock and grind your way to bliss. Don’t be afraid to let your hips take the lead.
Best for: G-spot or prostate stimulation, people who love pressure-based orgasms, hands-free grinding fun.
3. Kneeling or Doggy Style
Why it hits: This angle changes everything — especially if you’re using a toy. It can feel powerful or submissive depending on how you play it, making it perfect for fantasy exploration or a kinkier solo session.
Try this: Use a suction-cup dildo on the shower wall or floor, or try one that thrusts and does the pumping for you! Want more intensity? Add a vibrating butt plug or a clit stimulator (a wand with a longer handle will provide the most reach, especially for bigger bodies!)
Best for: Penetration lovers, anal access, fantasy play, and hands-free thrusting.
4. Sitting or In a Chair
Why it works: Rocking or bouncing while seated activates your hips in different ways, and it gives you a better view of your body — which can be super hot. Plus, it leaves your hands free for toys, lube, or some spicy content.
Try this: Sit on the edge of a chair or straddle it backward. Use one hand for stimulation and the other for scrolling or teasing other erogenous zones. If your chair is firm and smooth, try a suction-cup dildo for some penetration play either on its own or in addition to any other solo fun.
Best for: Those who like a better view, two-handed play, or multitasking with media or fantasy.
5. Standing or Squatting
Why it’s next-level: Standing increases blood flow and arousal intensity, while squatting activates your whole core — talk about a full-body orgasm! It can feel raw, primal, or downright powerful.
Try this: Standing in front of a mirror in some gorgeous lingerie, or squat in the shower with a waterproof toy. Against the wall is also great for balance and any role-play scenarios. Warning: orgasms in this position hit hard.
Best for: Quickies, shower play, adventurous toy sessions, or anyone looking to feel sexy and powerful.
