Forget all that Sanskrit nonsense, here at Onengine we deal with (among other things) statistics. Obviously, there are no unappealing sexual positions, but some, we’ve learnt, are more popular than others. Here we present the top ten Kama Sutra – as voted for by you.

The pictures mostly speak for themselves, but each of the celebrated favourites now has additional analysis to explain both the aesthetic and technical rewards behind their popularity. With illustrative, girl-on-girl videos to accompany the commentary, you won’t just be good in bed; you’ll be a bona fide guru.

NUMBER 10 CLASSIC DOGGIE



Every man knows that ladies love the Classic Doggie, be they good girls or dirty, dirty nymphos alike. It always rates high in female fantasy lists and should thus be an essential part of your sexual repetoire.

With both of you on your knees and her back arched, you can achieve super deep penetration as well as having hands free for the reach around and a little breast and clitoris caressing. Or if you want to rough things up grab a handful of her mane and reign her in to your needs.

A timeless classic that will never fall from favour. Filthy.



NUMBER 9 REVERSE COWGIRL



The position of choice for most porn stars thanks to its film-friendly focus, the Reverse Cowgirl guarantees ultimate pleasure for both parties while keeping any intimacy issues on the back burner.

Facing away from and astride you leaves you open to kick back and enjoy the sight of a prime behind giving you a knowing wink as she rodeos you like the Wild West. And with her hands free to caress her clit and nipples for heightened climax, all you need do is lie there and enjoy the ride while she has the time of her life. And you can’t say better than that.


NUMBER 8 THE PLOUGH



Perfect for the, ahem, lesser endowed gent, The Plough can deliver up to an inch deeper penetration than normal with the right application of pressure. And no, that doesn’t just meaning resting your entire body weight on her.

On her back with legs resting on your shoulders and your arms tucked behind, this is a real fifty-fifty position needing the full attention of you both. As such, and coupled with that added depth on offer, The Plough is intense, exciting and sweat-inducing in equal measure as you, quite literally, spread the love.


NUMBER 7 THE SIDE SADDLE COWGIRL



As hot as a jockey who’s just run the Grand National, the Side Saddle Cowgirl is the ultimate variation on the Cowgirl theme. And best of all it’s another lie back and let it happen position for the fella.

Probably the best bedroom bouncer around, it also offers great profile views of your lady as she gets into her rhythm. Sitting sideways astride you, all you can do is lie back and watch while your girl indulges in the ride of her life. So good you’ll want to be ridden forever, but careful you don’t get too carried away – being saddle sore is a nasty thing.


NUMBER 6 STAND AND DELIVER



Best for couples of similar height, it’s unlikely Crouch and Clancy dedicate too much sexy time to this one. But if you can handle the angles, you’ll be rewarded with the kind of screams usually reserved for the Liverpudlian faithful as Crouchy slots one in the back of the net.

As intimate and personal as sex gets, your girl literally stands while you deliver with the added bonus of plenty of snogging, staring into each others’ eyes and the opportunity to get to grips with her bum and its infinite delights. The natural pressure this position exerts on her clitoris should also have her climaxing in record time, ensuring you are indeed the man.


NUMBER 5 THE RAISED MISSIONARY



The prime position for holding eye-to-eye contact, it may not sound like much initially but according to most women the eyes are the windows to the soul, or something. Maintain that eye contact with meaning while sending it deep and in her emotionally adrenalised state who knows what other filth she’ll suddenly let you indulge in.

With back arched and all her weight on her heels and shoulders, you’re in perfect position to take total control and dominate her. It also leaves your hands to feel, fondle and fornicate the majesty of her breasts in complete freedom. Excellent.


NUMBER 4 THE DEEP DISH



Nothing to do with the American doyens of dance who go by the same name this position will have you doing most of the work, but unlike your nine to five grind, it’s well worth the rewards.

With the missus on her back, legs akimbo and her ankles firmly in your grasp, the view is nothing short of spectacular. And with gravity on your side you’re in total control to vary speed, rhythm, penetration and thus the quality of your performance and both your orgasms.

Tease her for hours and make her come like crazy or sort yourself out sharpish and make sure you’re done in time for Match of the Day. Either way, you’re onto a winner.


NUMBER 3 THE LAZY DOGGIE



As simple as no strings shagging can get, the Lazy Doggie is the perfect morning after the night before activity. She lies down, you lie on top of her and the magic happens.

All women love this position, as it’s apparently sensuous and slow and makes your man meat feel like an elephant’s leg with a pumpkin atop. It also leaves room for a little improv with your moves – the standard bump and grind is fine, but try some figure of eight hip action for guaranteed ultra-deep penetration and the kind of orgasm usually reserved for Christmases and birthdays.


NUMBER 2 THE REVERSE SPOON



While it may look trickier than tying a knot with no thumbs, The Reverse Spoon is actually a one-way ticket to simple sex made sordid and stupendous.

Lying head to toe and side by side offers immediate benefits in the staring at and fondling her nethers department – a bonus for you both, and don’t let her forget it – while simultaneously showing off your experimental credentials.

The kind of position you can only dream of ending up in after a booze-fuelled game of Twister. Just remember to wash your feet first, unless you’re a ‘socks on’ kind of guy, that is.


NUMBER 1 THE BUTTERFLY


To quote the legend of man-ness that is Muhammad Ali, this position will have her dancing like a butterfly while you, ahem, sting like a bee. Metaphorically speaking of course.

The perfect position for any man who’s had one too many, is facing up to round three of the night or is just inherently lazy. Lie back, admire one of, if not the, greatest views you’ll ever behold (depending on the quality of your squeeze) and think of England while she does all the hard work, just as it should be. And thanks to the deep penetration The Butterfly affords, you can both expect mind-melting orgasms aplenty. The ultimate viewing pleasure.
