Let’s be honest: everyone has their own likes and dislikes in bed. What feels amazing to one person can feel awkward or uncomfortable to another. And while most couples figure out what works through experience, there are a few sex positions that many women seem to agree on — they’re just not that fun.
Women recently opened up online about the moves they enjoy the least and explained exactly why they’re more hassle than pleasure.
The 69 Position
At first glance, it seems like the ultimate display of mutual pleasure. In reality? Not so much.
“The 69 position is the worst,” admitted one 28-year-old woman. “I’m short, my partner’s tall, and it’s just impossible to line things up properly. It’s uncomfortable, not enjoyable, and honestly, it takes way too much focus to be sexy.”
Another woman agreed: “I never got the hype. Maybe I didn’t do it enough, or maybe my partners weren’t great at it, but it’s never been satisfying for me. It just feels overly complicated.”
Standing Positions (Especially in the Shower)
Movies make them look steamy and passionate. Reality says otherwise.
“I think shower sex while standing is terrible,” one woman confessed. “Unless you enjoy water shooting up your nose and eyes, it’s just not worth it. Plus, it’s slippery — and not in a good way.”
Another shared, “When he lifts me up against the wall, I always end up sliding down a little. It looks hot in movies, but in real life it’s just awkward and uncomfortable.”
A third added, “Any standing position is a no for me. Trying to balance and match up heights is ridiculous, and women usually end up on one leg the whole time. It’s hard, awkward, and never actually pleasurable.”
Reverse Cowgirl
It’s a favorite for many men — but not so much for women.
“I’m not a fan of reverse cowgirl,” admitted one woman. “I don’t like having my back to my partner, and I never feel like I can move my hips properly. It just feels weird.”
Another echoed the sentiment: “My boyfriend loves when I’m on top, but I really don’t like the reverse cowgirl. Sure, he gets a great view, but I’m just staring at the wall. It’s awkward, not sexy.”
Sex should be about mutual pleasure — not uncomfortable acrobatics. What works for one couple might not work for another, and that’s totally okay. The key is to communicate, experiment, and find what actually feels good for both of you.
After all, the hottest position is the one that makes you both feel amazing.
