Sex position

A sex position is a position of the body that people use for sexual intercourse or other sexual activities. Sexual acts are generally described by the positions the participants adopt in order to perform those acts. Though sexual intercourse generally involves penetration of the body of one person by another, sex positions commonly involve penetrative or non-penetrative sexual activities.

This article is about the body positions used for sexual intercourse. For the narrative technique used in film and television, see Sexposition.

Three categories of sexual activity are commonly practiced: vaginal sex, anal sex, and oral sex (mouth-on-genital or mouth-on-anus stimulation). This may also involve a fourth category, manual sex, which is stimulating the genitals or anus by using fingers or hands. Other acts may include stimulation by a device (sex toy), such as a dildo or vibrator. There are numerous sex positions that participants may adopt in any of these types of sex acts; some authors have argued that the number of sex positions is essentially limitless.
