Positions - 16 questions
Sex positions to try together, rated yes, no, or maybe
Last reviewed: September 2026
The Positions category is 16 specific positions, each rated independently as a no, a maybe, or a yes. It's more concrete than most of YesList's other categories - instead of a theme or a setting, every question is a distinct thing to say yes or no to, and a match only shows up once you both land on yes for the same one.
What's in the Positions category
Expect a mix of classic, well-known positions and more adventurous ones, plus a few built around mutual or simultaneous oral. The range runs from things many couples already have in regular rotation to options that take a bit more coordination or flexibility to try.
Why rate positions individually instead of just talking
"What positions do you like?" is a surprisingly hard question to answer out loud, on the spot, especially if the honest answer includes something you've never brought up before. Rating each one privately, on your own time, removes the pressure of having to generate an answer in the moment - you just react to what's already listed.
It also surfaces overlap you might not expect. Two partners can each assume the other isn't interested in something and never find out otherwise simply because neither one raised it first.
Talking about your matches
Positions matches are usually the easiest of any category to act on - there's rarely logistics or planning involved beyond just doing it. If a match involves something new to one or both of you, it's worth treating the first attempt as exploratory rather than expecting it to go perfectly, and adjusting based on what's actually comfortable in the moment.
A maybe here often just means "I'd need to see how it feels" rather than genuine hesitation - it's a reasonable answer for anything neither of you has physically tried before.
Where to go next
Positions pairs naturally with Intercourse, which covers pacing and focus during sex itself, and with Location Play if part of the appeal is trying a position somewhere new.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Positions category cover?
16 specific positions, from familiar classics to more adventurous options, plus a few built around mutual or simultaneous oral. Each is its own yes/no/maybe item rather than one broad question.
Do we need to have tried a position to answer honestly?
No. You're rating interest, not experience - it's fine to say yes to something neither of you has tried, or no to something you have. Curiosity and past experience are two different things.
What if we already know we like a position that's on the list?
Answer yes anyway. A confirmed mutual yes still counts as a match, and it's a useful way to double-check you're both still on the same page about something you assumed was settled.
Is this category only about trying new things?
No - some questions are about positions many couples already enjoy. It's as much about confirming shared favorites as it is about surfacing something new to try.
