Does Pelvic Tilt Change the Game in the Bedroom?

OK, we know this isn’t new, but if you watched Sex/Life on Netflix (get ready for season 2 in the new year), then the notion of “the perfect alignment” was not lost on you. Maybe you’ve experienced it. Maybe you’re still searching for it. Oh mythical, elusive, majestic angle, where art thou?

We wanted to find out for certain if there is any truth to the notion that angles really mean something when it comes to ultimate, ideal female pleasure, so we asked an expert. Felicia Hershenhorn, CEO of intimate wellness company RUNI, definitely knows her way around a, um, pelvis.

“Just like a selfie, great sex can be all about the angles, baby,” Felicia starts. We knew it!

“While there is no perfect angle or tilt of alignment for mind-blowing sex (because every body is different), certain angles and positions can help in achieving that earth-shattering sex you’re looking for!”

Essentially, you’ll need to stimulate your G-spot without putting too much pressure on another area at the same time, which can detract from the sensation of unlocking your orgasm’s full potential. She designs G-spot sex toys; she would know.

“The G-spot is one of the most mythologized pleasure points in the discourse of sexual wellness, because it isn’t an objective point in the human body and it varies from person to person. The G-spot is simply a popular term for a subjective part of the entire clitoral structure that, upon correct stimulation, could activate mind-blowing and earth-shattering orgasms.”

If that didn’t just deconstruct your whole map of where you thought the G-spot should be, we don’t know what will.

When instructing how to get this sensation with one of her toys, the concept is the same as with a partner: “Lie flat on your back, but tilt your pelvis upward. Depending on where you’re having sex, have your partner stand or kneel, with your legs resting on their shoulders. This angle will allow for deeper penetration and help achieve powerful and intense orgasms.”

This is because raising your legs narrows the vagina, helping to target your G-spot. Once your partner penetrates you, ask them to rock you side to side or up and down, which will bring their penis, or toy, into direct contact with your clitoral structure. And bam, hopefully a G-spot orgasm is imminent.

Felicia reminds us, “Not everyone finds sexual pleasure through G-spot stimulation. At RUNI, we always say that pleasure is not predictable. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to pleasure. The fun is in exploring and finding those things that make sex enjoyable for you!”
