7 Awesomely Sloth-Like Sex Positions For When You're Feeling Lazy
Any lazy ass will love these.
weheartit Sex can be a great way of getting exercise and burning calories. It can raise your heart rate, tone your booty, and give off some seriously powerful endorphins.
Except sometimes, we don't want ANY of that stuff. Sometimes we’d rather be relaxed and not have to put in much work. And that's OK. You can be not in the mood, go to sleep, and revisit later when you feel more like having sex. It happens to all of us.
But if we want sex to be chill, slow and lazy, it can be equally as great as rough or fast-paced sex. And lazy sex can be pretty amazing, depending on which sex positions you use to get steamy.
Sometimes, life gets in the way. You may be tired or have kids, or have work or school on your mind. You don’t want to do anything but unwind and take it easy. It's not that you aren't into sex — sex is great — but you may not be into the type that does lots of acrobatics or physical activity.
But sex doesn't have to be high energy. There are plenty of lazy sex positions and settings that are very pleasurable but involve minimal physical exertion, many which include chilling on the couch or relaxing in bed, just as we’d like it. (Remember: sometimes the best fun can be found in the journey, not the sprint.)
Think about how much fun we all have spooning. Keeping warm and relaxed with our partner in bed is never dull. Spooning may be the most popular of all sex positions, and it's actually one of the best ways to enjoy fantastic lazy sex. This can also be a winner when you had too much fun last night but are feeling a little frisky in the morning. (Hangover sex, anyone?)
After a long hard day of work, it’s fun to take a warm bath and just relax. Little did you know, letting your partner in to join you can be just as relaxing. Requiring zero effort at all, you and your partner can enjoy a lazy, yet steamy, bath together. Sex doesn’t have to be a work out for you to enjoy it.
Sex should never be stressful; it should be a great way to unwind after a hard day. So, when you're feeling sloth-like as f*ck, here are seven awesome lazy sex positions to try with your boo. Trust us — they will enjoy these low-exertion moves just as much as you.

Couch Potato

You've absolutely done this, you just didn't know what it was called. Your guy will sit on the couch, and you will then straddle him. It's amazingly intimate because of the close contact and eye contact, and all you need to do is gently rock.
Voyeurs

"Sit on your partner’s lap on the edge of the bed with a good view of the TV," says sexologist Dr. Jess. Pop on your favorite couples porn and let the visual fantasy do the work.
Slippery Snake

Put some lube on the palm of your hand and lie on your stomach. "Let your partner slide in from behind as you cup your hand around your pubic mound to rub and grind. Add a little more lube as needed," says Dr. Jess.
Spooning

We like to call this sleepy sex. It can't get much simpler (or cozier) than this.
"If you’re feeling maximum amounts of laziness, spooning is the position for you. Just think: it's already such a comfortable and easy way to sleep, so why not have some super enjoyable sex the same way?" says Tristan Weedmark of We-Vibe. Spread your legs just a bit so your big spoon can enter from behind.
Bath Fun

You have to bathe eventually. Double-task and have him join you in the bath. Run a hot bath and help each other with sponging down. You'll be spooning in no time.
On the Couch

This move is perfect for those nights when you're curled up together watching TV and starting to drift off to sleep.
"You're already in the assumed position (on the couch), and from there, just swing your legs over so you can straddle him while you're facing each other. The perfect quickie during commercial breaks," says Weedmark. After sex, resume cuddling.
Giving Each Other a Hand

If you're feeling too lazy for actual sex, try giving each other a hand. Mutual masturbation can be SUPER-sexy. Either watch each other masturbate or take turns helping each other out. So hot! And no effort at all.
