Kama Sutra Positions for Newlyweds

Newlyweds have many things to figure out together including what they like in bed. These eight positions come from the Kama Sutra and are picked because they are easy to start with. You can try them in your bedroom without any special equipment. The main thing is to go slow, tell your partner what feels good, and see what works for both of you. Some positions let you look at each other while others let you hold each other tight. Pick one to try tonight and see how it goes.

1. Seated Position ✨

Sit on the bed facing your partner with your legs wrapped around each other. Put your arms around their back. Move your hips forward and back or in small circles. This setup keeps you very close and lets you kiss at the same time.

Pro-Tip

Sit on a soft surface and take a few minutes to get lined up right. Use your legs to pull each other closer.

Spicy Twist

Have one partner lean back slightly while the other stays upright to create a different feeling and angle.

2. Side Spoon ✨

Both of you lie on your sides facing the same direction. The person in back lines up their body against the other. They can hold the front person around the waist while moving their hips. It is a relaxed way to stay close the whole time.

Pro-Tip

The front person can pull their knees up toward their chest to change how it feels. Keep movements small at first.

Spicy Twist

The back person can kiss the neck and shoulders of the partner in front during the movements.

3. Missionary Position ✨

Cost: $At homeGetting warmer • 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Action

Lie on your back with a pillow under your hips. Your partner lies on top facing you and enters in the usual way. The extra height from the pillow makes the angle different and can feel stronger for both of you. Keep your legs spread or wrapped around them.

Pro-Tip

Make sure the pillow does not slide around. A firmer one works better than a soft one for this.

Spicy Twist

Wrap your legs higher around your partner's waist to pull them in closer with each movement.
