Knowing which sexual position best works for you will give you confidence and extend your time before ejaculation.

In this article, you'll find which sex positions can help you last longer in bed by allowing better control over your ejaculation.

Before we get into sex positions that help men last longer, we must understand why specific positions can help with men's climax control.

Why Certain Sex Positions Help You Last Longer in Bed

Regarding ejaculatory stamina, there are three simple factors to remember that will add extra time to your sexual performance.

• Depth of thrust
• Complexity of holding a position
• Ability to relax and breathe in a position

Discovering different sex positions or variations of your favorite sex positions that integrate one or two of these criteria points can help you prolong ejaculation and enjoy longer-lasting sexual intercourse.

Knowing which sexual position best works for you will give you confidence and extend your time before ejaculation.

Check out the following nine sex positions and see if they fit your body type and physique to help you last longer in bed.

Sex Positions to Help You Last Longer

Descriptions of all sex positions below are from men's perspective.

Sex Position #1

Modified Cowgirl

The modified cowgirl position perfectly combines shallow penetration, low complexity, and total-body relaxation.

• Start by lying flat on your back with a pillow to help prop your head up.
• Have your partner straddle on top of your body with one leg on either side of your hips.
• As she slowly lowers onto your penis, have her lean slightly forward or back to help introduce a more shallow penetration at a slow, controlled pace.
• Grinding can be beneficial in reducing the depth of penetration too!

Sex Position #2

Reverse Female Rider

The reverse female rider is the perfect sex position to explore after the modified cowgirl since it engages the least amount of muscles to help you prolong ejaculation and enjoy longer sex.

Like the modified cowgirl, the reverse female rider begins with your partner straddling your body, but this time, she is not facing you. Facing in a new direction can introduce different stimulation angles to create a unique sexual experience.

Sex Position #3

Spooning

• As the "big spoon", lay behind your partner, facing the same direction and cuddle up close behind her hips.
• Lift her top leg as you slowly guide your penis inside
• Then rest her leg on top of your body.

Similar to the forward and reverse cowgirl positions, spooning will help relax your muscles, giving you optimum control over your arousal.

To increase intimacy, using a free hand whenever possible to pleasure your partners through manual clitoral stimulation, breast play, or, if the mood is right, experiment with consensual anal stimulation.

Sex Position #4

Side-by-Side

The side-by-side sex position keeps you in the driver's seat by helping you relax your body, focus on face-to-face intimacy and prolong your climax.

• Begin by lying down on your bed facing your partner.
• Relax your body and pull her top leg over your hips to rest.
• Using a hand to guide your penis inside her, draw close and gently grind your bodies into one another in a circular motion.

This sex position is even more pleasurable for your female partner because it frees up your hands to focus more on clitoral stimulation rather than deep penetration.

Sex Position #5

The Cross

The cross, also known as the 'plus sign', is a unique sex position that allows you to penetrate your partner deeply without any powerful thrusting.

As the name describes, the cross creates the letter 'X' shape with you and your partner's bodies.

• Begin by laying on your side and have your partner lay on her back perpendicular to you with both legs draped over your pelvis.
• From here, your partner can guide your penis inside
• Use her legs to pull your body close.

This sex position is especially great for her since it allows her to pleasure herself with a finger or a vibrator while you grind into her.

Sex Position #6

Seated Lotus

The seated lotus is an intimate variation of the regular position, offering increased physical touch and close eye contact.

• Begin by sitting upright on the bed with your legs crossed.
• Have your partner lower herself onto your lap with her legs wrapped around your back as you guide your penis into her.
• From here, she can grind her hips into your body to create a slower build-up to climax without any thrusting.
• This position helps stimulate her g-spot while allowing you to relax your body as she rides you.

Sex Position #7

Standing With Her Leg Lifted

The standing position is great for distracting your mind from pleasure to help you build stamina and prolong ejaculation.

• To begin, have your partner face you or while you enter her standing position.
• While both are standing, you'll experience a shallow penetration depth as you thrust.

This position controls your pace and allows you to slow or stop when necessary.

Sex Position #8

Missionary Grind

The classic missionary position typically causes most men to finish sooner. The missionary grind sex position requires less rapid thrusting and more controlled grinding.

How-to:

• Begin with your partner lying on her back on the bed.
• You can use a pillow to prop her hips up slightly as you kneel in front of her body, opening her legs wide to get closer.
• Using your hips, grind your pelvis into her body in a slow, circular motion to enjoy the stimulating pleasure of non-penetrative missionary sex.

Sex Position #9

Lowered Doggy Style

If the doggy-style sex position is your favorite but makes you quick to orgasm, the lowered doggy style is just for you!

How-to:

• Starting in a regular doggy style position with your partner bent over in a tabletop position.
• Enter her from behind and gently lower her down so you're lying flat on top of her body.

Although you'll experience a deep penetration, you can control your urge by doing more grinding rather than thrusting while still hitting her g-spot.

Effective Treatments for Premature Ejaculation

It's important to note that although certain sex positions can help to delay ejaculation during intercourse, they're not going to build your overall stamina.

Your doctor may recommend various effective treatment options depending on the causes of premature ejaculation, including biological and psychological factors.

Pelvic Floor Exercises

Kegels is a beneficial exercise to help men strengthen their pelvic floor muscles and control their erectile function.

According to the Therapeutic Advances in Urology journal, Kegels are proven to rehabilitate pelvic muscle performance to improve symptoms of lifelong premature ejaculation.

Pause and Squeeze Technique

The pause and squeeze technique builds stamina and controls the urge toward premature ejaculation. Pull out and squeeze the tip of your penis with two fingers as you feel your arousal peaking until the orgasmic sensation subsides.

Topical Anesthetic

A range of over-the-counter delay spray products for extended pleasure help reduce sensitivity and prolong sex!

Using regulatory-approved delay spray for men like Steady Freddy is recommended by urologists to help increase stamina and treat premature ejaculation.
