Position of the Week: Sofa Surfer

Thinking up some New Year’s resolutions? Start Couch to 5K or those Spanish classes next week. For now, you only need one resolution and it’s a deliciously easy one: to spice up your sex life with moves like Sofa Surfer!

So, pause Netflix and get ready to get extra-friendly with your lover. This position beats Friends re-runs any day. (Well… just about.)

How?

If you’re receiving, wriggle your butt over to the corner of the couch. Hook your legs over the arm rest so you’re lying back along the couch cushions, with your feet dangling down the side of the couch.

Once the giver has lubed up their penis or strap-on, they’ll stand between your legs facing you. They can then lift your legs up so that your ankles rest on their shoulders, before sliding inside you.

Why?

That ‘New Year, New Me’ gym session can wait... Go from snoozy kisses to hot sex without even changing locations.

In this position, the angle of the receiving partner’s hips and raised legs allows for satisfyingly deep penetration. Plus, the receiver has their hands free to fondle their own nipples, clitoris or penis at the same time. Sexy sensory overload: what a treat.

Plus: once you’re done with playtime, you can snuggle back down on the sofa and search for another true-crime documentary to fall asleep in front of. Lovely.

Try

Put “try pegging” on your list of New Year ‘s resolutions and tick it off quick – satisfying in more ways than one! Just be sure to try a smaller strap-on dildo if it’s your first time (and, always, plenty of lube).

Kink it up a notch with a spreader bar or ankle restraints to keep the receiver right where you want them. It might take a little more prep time, but it’s worth it for the power-play.

To add to the 50 Shades effect, bring in some dirty talk. Let the Dom tell their sub exactly what they’ve got planned for them... just make sure you’re on the same page before you start; BDSM is only fun if you’re both into it.

Make it even easier

Pad out the space between the sofa seat and arm with cushions, for a softer base. And if keeping your legs raised like this doesn’t work for you, place a chair either side of the standing partner. That way, you can bend your knees and rest your feet on each chair as your lover thrusts into you.

Make it even better

Teaming different types of stimulation can lead to extra powerful blended orgasms, since you’re pleasuring multiple erogenous zones at once – worth a try to beat the January blues.

So, if you want to keep a little box of tricks under your couch, good for you: this move will be all the steamier when you slip in a butt plug before you get started (remember to add anal lube!).

Otherwise, try a wearable couple’s vibrator that stays inside the vagina during sex, giving you both a buzz. With dual stimulation to the G-spot and clitoris, you might stand a chance of coming at the same time as your partner.

And if anything’s going to make you stick to a more-spicy-sex resolution in 2025, it’s that!
