You want to do something sexual with your partner, share a part of yourself and your body with another person (a super “Yay!” moment)…so doesn’t it seem a little weird that you can’t communicate these naughty desires to them?

There are the 4 main sexual positions that EVERY sexual position originates from. Here’s the checklist. Once you know the staples of positioning, you can get fiddle with them to create a new one. Maybe someday, with enough practice, you’ll be able to…… read more on Her Campus HERE
