When you hear sex styles, what comes into people’s minds is sex positions, but these two even though used interchangeably are not the same. Styles represent the kind of sex that you have while sex positions are the different types of how you have sex. Different factors influence the kind of sex an individual likes and these factors could include childhood conditioning, parenting, culture, belief, gender roles, social expectations, environmental factors, religion, upbringing, individual desires, and personal experiences.
One major consideration to have is to consider the kind of style that works for your partner to avoid unreasonable expectations or feelings of disappointment. Individual personalities also play a crucial role in determining the kind of sex styles they prefer. Different types of sexual styles encompass a range of activities and preferences, some of which could include:
- Vanilla Sex: Traditional and straightforward, typically involving basic positions like missionary. Mostly influenced by religion and belief systems, people who prefer vanilla sex might find other sex styles interesting or over the board.
- Kinky Sex: Incorporates elements of BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, and masochism). It can include role-playing, power dynamics, and various restraint or impact day forms.
- Sensual Sex: Focuses on creating a deeply emotional and physical connection through touch, eye contact, and slow, deliberate movements.
- Oral Sex: Involves stimulating the genitalia using the mouth, lips, and tongue. For many people, especially women, this is the only way they can achieve orgasm.
- Anal Sex: Engaging in sexual activities involving the anus, could be analingus or rimming.
- Tantric Sex: Rooted in spiritual practices, emphasizing prolonged, meditative lovemaking with a focus on deep connection and energy exchange.
- Role Playing: Partners act out fantasies or specific roles, often involving costumes or scenarios.
- Quickies: Brief and spontaneous sexual encounters, usually driven by a sense of urgency and excitement.
- Voyeurism and Exhibition: Derived pleasure from watching others watched during sexual activities.
- Group Sex: Involves more than two participants, such as threesomes, orgies, or swinging.
- Cuckolding: Cuckolding is a fetish or kink in which a person gets turned on by their partner having sex with someone else, more common with men watching their women having sex with a man with a larger penis. It’s closely tied to BDSM with overlaps like domination, submission, and humiliation — minus the gear and spanking.
These styles reflect a spectrum of preferences and practices, and individuals or couples might explore multiple types to discover what best suits their desires and boundaries.
