ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sexual positions

Well kiddo, sexual positions are the different ways that people can have sex. Just like you can play different games with the same toys, adults have different ways of having fun with each other too. Some people might like to lay down on their backs or stomachs, while others might like to stand up or kneel down.

There are lots of different sexual positions that people like to do, and they can be called different names like missionary, doggy style, cowgirl, and spooning. The names might sound funny, but they help people know how to describe what they like and don't like when they're having sex.

It's important to remember that everyone's body is different and what feels good for one person might not feel good for another. It's also important to make sure both people are comfortable and safe whatever positions they choose to try.
