Canta’s Sex position Olympics (2024 edition)

I will never quite forget my first Canta content meeting. It was a chilly Tuesday and I had mished from Tupu to join the rest of the team to discuss the upcoming sex mag…. super chill topic to start on. It was only slightly daunting to be discussing everything condoms and casual sex over my morning coffee. Nonetheless, as Sabrina Carpenter said, my ‘give-a-fucks’ were on vacation. I pitched a rather daring idea: Canta’s 2023 sex position Olympics. 

I don’t wish to be cocky (pun intended), but the article garnered more interest than expected. The news even managed to spread to Tauranga, greeting the ears of my lovely and classy mother! Explaining the content of my first article was a unique and awkward type of conversation I would rather not repeat.   

So, Canta thought it might be appropriate to bring back the Olympics for a second year. If you are a die-hard missionary fan looking to add a bit of pizzazz to pound town, or you wanna hear your cowgirl ‘Yehaww’ with pleasure, keep on reading…  

Let the Olympics COMMENCE! 

Stand and deliver:  

This bent standing position could be considered doggy’s more versatile and sophisticated older sister. One partner is bent over 90 degrees, stabilising themselves upon something, with the other partner thrusting from behind, literally “stand-and-delivering.” Anonymous sex lover DickedDown69 says that the position is “perfect a quickie” eliminating the faff of washing sheets or cleaning up. Who has time for that sort of admin with these hectic uni schedules?  

Maybe you enjoy doing the devil’s tango in different locations? Well, well, well, this position is exactly what you need in your life. Where the position loses points for impressiveness, it gains in approachability. The receiving partner can hold onto anything and perform the action anywhere! Kitchen countertops, public places (wink), dining room tables, even holding onto another person’s legs - if adding another person to the mix is ya thing.  

Like risk or spicing up your choice of location? Give the “Stand-and-Deliver” a go. It is great practice for those pesky uni presentations! 

The Pretzel Dip 

Despite the food-inspired name, this position does not involve food. However, if you are into that, give that a whirl! The receiving partner, lays on their side. The other partner, the giver, faces them, straddling their bottom leg whilst keeping their torso upright. The partner on the bottom bends their knee of their top leg. The legs are knotted together, genitals aligned. 

This position gains points for how deep the giving partner can thrust (shit yea boi) and the intimacy that is created through exchanging eye contact. Anonymous person Bl0wjobB4ddie mentions that the position is “sexy as” and that the stimulation is “so deep.” Not only this, but if you enjoy incorporating a vibrator into the mix for dual stimulation, go crazy. Clinical sexologist, Ness Cooper, comments on how good the position is for the lower back with “the knotted legs act[ing] as its own infrastructure to support the act.” This is great for if the receiving partner usually has a pillow under their back during sex for support #comfortiskey.  

So, don’t get your knickers in a twist, get your legs in a twist! Give this baddie a go.  

The Double Trouble  

If you are into trouble, you have come to the right place! This position involves one partner laying on their back with the other partner straddling one of the other partners legs - I hope that makes sense. From this point, one can grind on the other person’s leg, finger each other, or stimulate breasts and other erotic areas.  This position gains its name because two people are involved in the giving and the receiving - double the fun!  

The Double Trouble does not require penetration to get off… anybody can do it! Not only this, but it is far more personable and intimate than the likes of the “stand-and-deliver”; great for helping each partner feel closer to each other.  Anonymous sex lover Pussypleaser100 mentions that this position is “extremely intimate” but gives the participant “hella bad hand cramp” when trying to finger her partner. Not great if you are trying to have that stamina to cross the finish line.  

So, if you are not satisfied with just one form of pleasure…. time to see double! 

So, there we have it for this year’s Olympics: quite the battle if I do say so myself. Of course, sex and whatever positions you like, well, the ultimate competition winner is truly up to you. Get experimental, be brave, and don’t be afraid to try something a bit different.   

One last thing, if you know my mother, maybe just don’t mention I wrote this… let’s just keep this article between us. You guys are the best. 

Cheers lol,
