For women, the vagina is full of pleasure hot spots and erogenous zones.
But the G-spot, clitoris, and sometimes cervix tend to get all the attention. While we’re big fans of all of those, there’s one erogenous zone that doesn’t always get the credit it deserves.
We’re talking about the A-spot.
Hidden deep in the treasure trove of the vagina you’ll find a bundle of nerves that, when stimulated, can induce a whole lot of pleasure.
It’s time the A-spot gets more attention, that’s why we rounded up the best sex positions for A-spot orgasms
A-Spot 101
If you’ve never heard of the A-spot, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Despite the lack of press this erogenous zone gets, it can still bring immense pleasure.
So what is the A-spot and where do you find it?
The A-spot, known in scientific circles as the anterior fornix erogenous zone (AFE), is found deep in the vagina, between the bladder and the cervix, and about two inches past the G-spot – which you’re likely more familiar with.
This little spot is full of nerve endings and is sometimes called the “female prostate” thanks to it paralleling the position of the male prostate.
What Is an A-Spot Orgasm?
While it can vary between bodies, the A-spot is generally about 4-6 inches deep in the vagina. The number of nerve endings in the A-spot is why some people experience deep pleasure and intense orgasms when it’s stimulated.
A-spot orgasms are absolutely real, but many folks may also need clitoral stimulation to have one. It’s estimated that only about 20% of people with vulvas can orgasm through just penetration – an ergonomic vibrator like the SIRI 2 is a great addition for clitoral stimulation combined with deep penetration to target the A-spot.
How To Find Your A-Spot
Using a toy, penis, or fingers, you or your partner will reach into the vagina about three inches until you find the G-spot, which is a bumpy, slightly raised area. About another two inches past that is the A-spot. It doesn’t have a different texture like the G-spot does, but you’ll likely feel an increase in pleasure and sensation.
Because the A-spot is so deep in the vagina, for most people it’s easier to have an A-spot orgasm using a toy or penis versus fingers. If you want to experience an A-spot orgasm, your best bet is to opt for positions that allow for deep penetration.
Here are our top picks – by the way all of these positions can be done with either a penis or a toy, so get creative!
Doggy Style
Doggy style is a classic for a reason – it works! Especially when it comes to A-spot orgasms.
You probably know how this one goes but if you don’t… get on all fours. Your partner stands on their knees so they can enter you from behind. They may need to adjust their position if they’re using a toy.
A slow rocking motion may help them target your A-spot better than fast thrusts do.
If either of you gets tired, you can make it a lazy dog by lying on your stomach and having your partner lie on top and thrust into you.
Elevated Missionary
Another classic – with a twist.
We love missionary around here, but if you’re aiming for a missionary-induced A-spot orgasm, you’ll want to try this extra tip. Lift your hips with a thick pillow or a designated sex pillow so your partner’s penis or toy can angle up and deep to hit your A-spot.
If you want even deeper penetration, you can try pulling your knees to your chest.
Anal Missionary
Fun fact – thanks to the thin tissues of the vaginal wall, you can also stimulate your A-spot via anal play.
This is great to try with missionary (again) – minus the pillow this time as that may be too intense. If you’re new to anal play, you may want to start with fingers or a toy like our SORAYA Beads – made of four vibrating anal beads that gradually increase in size so you can explore different A-spot sensations.
Be sure to use lube! We love our LELO Personal Moisturizer – a water-based lube that’s safe to use with your silicone sex toys and condoms.
Edge of the Bed
Another A-spot position that allows for deep penetration involves utilizing some props, aka your bed.
You’ll lie at the end of your bed with your bum at the edge. Your partner will stand so they’re perpendicular to you. Then put your ankles on your partner’s shoulders so they can reach deep. You can use your feet as leverage to lift your hips and hit your A-spot even deeper.
Squatted Cowgirl
Another great way to target your A-spot is by getting on top.
Instead of resting on your knees, you’ll get into a squat position over your partner so you can control the angle and experience deeper penetration – all the way to your A-spot.
Tips for Stimulating Your A-Spot
Now that you have our top A-spot positions to choose from, remember these tips before getting down to it:
Incorporate a Toy
Whether you’re flying solo or are having sex with a partner, using a toy can help amp up the experience and really target your A-spot.
That’s why we made the Enigma Double Sonic, which uses our DEEPSONIC™ TECHNOLOGY to bring sonic pleasure deep within the A-spot – where no other sex toy can reach.
The Enigma Double Sonic is a fully flexible stimulator with ultra-powerful vibrations to really stimulate the A-spot. For those that love some clit action as well, it also uses SENSONIC™ TECHNOLOGY to send sonic waves that give fast yet gentle clitoral stimulation without making direct contact. This is the perfect toy for a blended A-spot and clitoral orgasm!
Take It Slow
This is different for anything, but some people need at least twenty minutes (or more) before they can have an A-spot orgasm. There’s absolutely no rush, what matters most is that it feels good!
Embrace Your Pleasure
Look, the idea of “A-spot” and “G-spot”, etc. orgasms are pretty hot and glamorous, but that’s not the reality for everyone. Whether or not you can orgasm from stimulating these areas depends a lot on your anatomy and plenty of other variables.
If it’s difficult for you to have an A-spot orgasm, there’s nothing to be ashamed or down about. What matters most is that you’re enjoying whatever you’re experiencing and it feels right for your body. Embrace your pleasure!
