Relaxed sex drives away grief, worries and thoughts in the evening – and lets us sleep even deeper afterwards. We reveal five perfect positions for the evening.

Good sex works miracles. The endorphins released in the process make you forget many mental and physical ailments, from stress to headaches. In the moment after the act, a wave of relaxation rolls over us. So we can hardly hold it against our partner if he is slumbering blissfully while we quickly disappear to the toilet (cystitis no, thank you!).

An orgasm is considered a wonderful sleep aid for a reason. When we are kept awake at night by the spinning circle of thoughts about jobs, love and tomorrow's shopping list, people like to lend a hand quickly. Sure, that's a good solution. But: Sex with your partner can also provide the necessary relaxation – and thus help us to sleep deeply.

Now you don't have to do wild acrobatics in the evening and get your circulation going again when you are actually tired and heavy in bed. Don't worry: instead, we have a few sex positions ready for you that have a particularly relaxing effect on you. As this time, the only imaginary icing on the cake, the variants all strengthen the bond with each other, as we get particularly close with them. The aim of all positions: just to let go of stress and performance pressure behind and yourself. The deep sleep afterwards is free!

Relaxed sex: 5 positions for a deep sleep

lotus

Look deep into the eyes again, the bedroom view is free if you are very tired. This position comes from the Kama Sutra, but still ensures very relaxed sex. In the lotus you sit comfortably facing your partner on his lap and let him penetrate. You can either stay in the heel seat or wrap your legs around his waist. You determine the pace yourself – and if you like it cozy, you can rest your chin relaxed on your partner's shoulder.

Elephant position

Perfect if you are already a little tired – just lie on your stomach. Your partner, in turn, lies down on your stomach, pampers your neck with kisses and penetrates you from behind. Tip: Put a pillow under your pubic bone for a better angle. The elephant position also has a high chance of orgasm, as the G-spot is stimulated …

Missionary top

The missionary position is clearly underestimated – it's not a classic for relaxed sex anyway. In addition, it can be easily modified to increase the probability of an orgasm for the woman: In the missionary top, your partner lies between your legs, your pelvis is elevated on a pillow. This time he can let himself sink down completely on you and penetrate deeply. Now you start to circle your hips while he stays so deep inside you that his pubic bone and shaft gently massage your clitoris. Slow, very intimate and relaxed sex!

double decker

Now it's time to swap roles: The double-decker is more or less the relaxed sex version of the equestrian position. You sit on your partner, but then let yourself sink onto his chest and close your legs between his. Here, too, all you have to do is move your pelvis, watch, kiss and cuddle extensively.

69

Try the sex position 69 while lying down: You both lie on your side and put your upper leg up. Now you can disappear with your head between the legs of the other, close your eyes and enjoy to the full … Relaxed sex is also possible without penetration!
