What is the Kamasutra?
The world’s oldest and most famous sex manual, the Kamasutra, may have been written in India around 400BC but there’s a reason it literally translates to ‘a treatise on pleasure’.
With over 100 different sexual positions including graphic instructions on how to do them, it’s the most comprehensive sex guide in the history of mankind – and who doesn’t want to have mindblowingly good sex?
But with a central focus on female pleasure, tips for women on maintaining relationships with several lovers, and exhaustive techniques for men on how to keep a woman satisfied in case she runs off with someone else, we reckon it might just be the world’s first Feminist Sex Bible.
We asked sexpert Girl On The Net to talk us through the top 7 Kamasutra sex positions and why they work so well for women. Whether you’re in a committed relationship or looking for the best sex apps for no strings sex, these will bring you to the brink of a truly super orgasm.

How to do you do the plough position?
Essentially an easier and more enjoyable version of the wheelbarrow, you lie tummy down on the bed with your top half rested on the bed and legs off the bed and straight out behind you. He is between your legs, supporting your lower half by your thighs. It takes practice but is worth every minute.
What’s good about the plough position?
Of all the Kamasutra sex positions, the wheelbarrow is arguably the most exhausting. This alternative is all the fun without the pain. Plus when you’re tensing your leg muscles (which this active position requires) it tightens up your vagina, which gives the sensation of squeezing him tight from within. When you orgasm in this position, your muscles contract even tighter which gives you an even more intense sensation.

This is basically the classic woman on top, but the key to its success is its flexibility.

Add a vibrating ring for him if you want something different.

Because you are ultimately in control so can angle yourself exactly as you want it. Not all of us have our clitoris in the same place but this is one you can angle to where yours is for personal pleasure. It’s great if you’re a performer as you can sit up and indulge your inner sex goddess, while those with very large boobs that hurt when they jiggle up and down in this position can lie flat on their partner’s chest for a bit of relief.

This is one that sounds bizarre but has to be tried to be believed. I’d always dismissed it in sex guides till I tried it out myself.

Having come across a great many Kamasutra sex positions in my time, this is still one of my favourites because quite simply, if done right, it offers total sexual equality.

With this, you work together taking it in turns to lead, plus his hands are free so encourage him to play with you while you’re doing it so your orgasm comes more easily.
