The side-by-side sexual position is very intimate, letting you wrap your arms around each other. This position somewhat reduces your mobility for thrusting, as well as penetration depth, but it makes a good starting point for an easy roll into the man-on-top or woman-on-top position. Here's how to perform the side-by-side sexual position.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Water-based lubricant
Condom

Step 1

Position yourselves lying down side by side and facing each other. The woman lifts and bends her top leg, placing it over the man's hip.
Step 2

Place the tip of the man’s erect penis at the opening to the woman’s vagina and insert slowly. The opening should be wet enough to allow for easy penetration. The man may want to hold her hips to help get leverage for thrusting.
Step 3

Push in slowly at first to ensure that everything is comfortable and painless for both of you.
Step 4

Move in and out at a pace that is comfortable for you both.

Tips & Warnings

Stop if either of you feels any pain. The position might be too deep or the groin area might be too dry.
If the woman is not lubricated enough for easy entry, use a water-based lubricant such as KY Jelly or Astroglide.
While orgasm is the ideal conclusion, it will not necessarily happen every time, especially for the woman.
Always use a condom for protection against unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
