Real photos when the team uploads them, otherwise a clearer diagram: man and woman, FFM, MMF, Swinger and groups. Each position includes how-to notes and the condom rule.
Fixed rule: a new condom for every new partner. Never go from anal to vaginal with the same condom.
The woman lies on her back while the man positions in front of and above her torso, with both partners facing each other. Her legs can remain relaxed or bend to different degrees to adjust distance and angle. It is mechanically simple because most body weight is supported by the bed rather than held in the air.

2. Coital Alignment Technique (CAT)
This begins from a missionary-like arrangement, but the torsos are positioned higher and aligned more closely along the same longitudinal line. Rather than large movement, the setup emphasizes close body contact and small adjustments while the partners remain face-to-face. A thin pillow can be used to fine-tune height and alignment.

3. Legs on Shoulders
The woman lies on her back and raises her legs so they rest on or near the man’s shoulders while he remains in front of her. Raising the legs changes the pelvic angle and shortens the distance between the partners. Height should be adjusted gradually so the hips and lower back are not forced into an uncomfortable range.

4. The Eagle
The woman lies on her back with her legs opened into a broad V shape while the man positions in front between them. The open shape creates clear space around the torso and hips and can be adjusted by narrowing or lowering the legs. A pillow beneath the pelvis can add a small amount of elevation if desired.

5. The Captain
The woman reclines on her back with one leg extended or lowered and the other raised or bent, while the man faces her from a slightly diagonal angle. The asymmetrical leg position creates a diagonal body line and allows the couple to change orientation without fully repositioning.

6. Cowgirl
The man lies back or sits with his back supported while the woman positions above his hips facing him, usually with her knees on either side or seated closely over him. She can vary how far she leans forward or back, while cushions behind the man can reduce effort and improve stability.

7. Reverse Cowgirl
This uses the same basic raised position as Cowgirl, but the woman faces away from the man rather than toward him. She may remain upright or lean forward and use her knees and hands for balance, while the man stays reclined or semi-seated.

8. Lotus
The man sits in a stable position, often with legs bent or crossed, while the woman sits very close in front of him facing him. Their torsos remain face-to-face, and either partner can use the arms around the back or shoulders for balance. A bed or other stable surface works best.

9. Doggy Style
The woman is on her knees with her upper body supported by her hands or forearms, while the man positions behind her facing the same direction. Raising or lowering the front of the torso changes the back angle, and a cushion beneath the knees can reduce pressure.

10. Prone Bone
The woman lies mostly flat on her stomach, optionally with a thin pillow beneath the pelvis, while the man positions behind her over the lower torso and legs. This is a low-profile arrangement that does not require a wide leg position and keeps both bodies close to the bed.

11. Spooning
Both partners lie on the same side facing the same direction, with the woman in front and the man close behind. The knees are usually slightly bent for stability and comfort, and the distance between the torsos can be adjusted without fully changing position.

12. Reverse Spoon
Both partners lie on their sides, but the orientation is reversed or partially turned compared with traditional spooning, so one or both may face inward rather than in the same direction. This preserves the comfort of side-lying while allowing more face-to-face interaction.

13. Leapfrog
The woman kneels while lowering her upper body toward the bed or cushions, leaving the hips somewhat higher than the shoulders. The man positions behind her while kneeling or staying low. A pillow beneath the chest or knees can reduce strain.

14. Pretzel Dip
The woman reclines partly on her side or back with one leg bent and the other raised, while the man kneels at a diagonal angle to her hips. The two body lines cross rather than staying parallel, creating the twisted, pretzel-like geometry.

15. Standing
Both partners stand close together, either facing each other or in the same direction depending on the variation. Because body weight is carried through the feet, a wall or stable surface can be used for support, and fully lifting one partner is best avoided unless balance is secure.

16. Standing Face-to-Face
The man and woman stand face-to-face with their torsos close. One partner may use a wall for support or place a foot on a low stable surface to adjust height while keeping the other foot grounded. The geometry is simple but requires more balance than bed-based positions.

17. Ballet Dancer
Both partners stand facing each other, with the woman mainly balancing on one leg while the other leg is raised and wrapped or supported along the man’s side. A wall or sturdy piece of furniture is useful because the center of gravity becomes higher and narrower.

18. Wheelbarrow
The woman supports her upper body with her hands or forearms on a bed or stable surface while the man supports or lifts her legs near the thighs or hips. The shape resembles a wheelbarrow and requires upper-body strength, so a low, stable surface is preferable.

19. The Bridge
One partner raises the pelvis and lower torso off the bed while the shoulders and feet or other contact points remain supported, creating a bridge-like arch. The other partner positions in front or between the legs. This is comparatively demanding and requires good stability.

20. Butter Churner
The woman lies on her back and folds her legs upward toward the torso so the pelvis lifts partially, while the man faces her and leans forward. Because the hips and lower back are deeply flexed, the range should remain comfortable and extra pressure on the neck should be avoided.

21. Seashell
The woman lies on her back and draws her knees toward the chest or opens them outward comfortably while the man positions in front. The shape resembles an open shell, and the amount of flexion can be reduced by moving the knees slightly away or using a pillow beneath the pelvis.

22. Amazon
The man lies on his back with his legs bent or partly raised while the woman takes a higher position in front of him or above the hip line, facing him. The woman occupies the more elevated, balance-intensive role, and the bed or cushions can be used for support.

23. G-Whiz
The woman lies on her back with her legs raised and bent, and the man may support them near the calves or ankles while facing her. Raising the legs changes the pelvic angle, so they can be lowered or bent less if the lower back feels strained.

24. Corkscrew
The woman lies near the edge of the bed on her side or at a sideways angle, with her legs close together or slightly bent, while the man positions at the edge on a diagonal to her hips. The torso rotation creates a corkscrew-like geometry and can be adjusted with small shoulder or hip shifts.

25. The Cross
The body line of one partner is positioned roughly perpendicular to the other, forming a cross or T shape. One may lie on the back while the other lies sideways or across at an angle. The arrangement creates extra room around the shoulders and head.

26. Face-Off
The man sits on a stable bed or chair while the woman sits in front of or on his lap facing him. Their torsos remain close and face-to-face, and both can use their arms around the back or shoulders for balance. Seat height has a major effect on comfort.

27. Chair
One partner sits on a stable chair with a strong base while the other positions in front or on the seated partner’s lap. The chair provides back support and a fixed height, so it should not slide or rotate easily.

28. Tabletop
One partner reclines or sits near the edge of a sturdy elevated surface while the other stands in front of the edge. Surface height is the key variable: it should allow the standing partner to remain relatively upright without excessive bending.

29. Spider
Both partners sit facing each other with knees bent, leaning back on their hands or the bed while their legs overlap or interlace in the middle. The arrangement creates several visible support points and resembles the spread legs of a spider.

30. Caboose
Both partners sit facing the same direction, one directly in front of the other, with the rear partner close to the front partner’s back. It works on a bed or bench and offers good stability while requiring less space than face-to-face seating.

31. Cradle
One partner sits or reclines in a semi-supported position while the other stays close within the space created by the arms and legs, almost as if being held in a cradle. The arrangement emphasizes full-body support and reduces the need to hold weight with the limbs.

32. Lazy Dog
This is a lower-effort variation of a rear-facing setup: the woman lies prone or kneels while lowering her torso onto pillows, and the man remains low behind her. Most body weight stays supported by the bed, making it less demanding than a raised rear position.

33. Side-by-Side
The man and woman lie side by side, either facing each other directly or with their torsos angled inward. The position makes distance easy to adjust and reduces strain on the knees and arms because the bed supports almost all body weight.

34. Sideways
One partner lies on the side while the other positions at a sideways or diagonal angle. The asymmetrical layout allows the hip and shoulder angle to change without lifting either body away from the bed.

35. Edge of the Bed
One partner lies or sits at the edge of the bed with the hips close to the edge while the other stands or kneels in front. Bed height largely determines comfort, and a pillow can be used to bring the two body levels closer together.

36. Raised Missionary
This is a missionary variation in which the woman’s pelvis is elevated from the bed with a pillow or wedge while the man remains in front. The small lift changes the body angle without requiring a different overall position.

37. Pillow Missionary
This starts from missionary with a pillow placed beneath the pelvis or lower back for extra support and elevation. Pillow thickness can be changed to adjust the angle, while the neck and lower back should remain comfortably supported.

38. Kneeling Missionary
The woman remains in a front-facing reclined position similar to missionary while the man stays on his knees instead of leaning fully over her. This raises his torso and creates more space between the chests; cushions can adjust hip or knee height.

39. Seated Cowgirl
The man sits with clear back support on a bed or couch while the woman sits on his lap facing him. Unlike the reclining version, both torsos are more upright, making back support and a stable seating surface especially important.
