????Acts of Service: Lotus????
Anything your partner can do to ease the burden of responsibility counts as an act of service, and there are oh-so many ways to play with this love language into the bedroom. Lotus is an MVP position, especially in the “actions speak louder than words” discourse. To execute lotus, the penetrating partner should sit with their legs criss-cross applesauce, while you sit on top, with your legs wrapped around their waist. From here, you can share sweet kisses and heated stares while the penetrative partner thrusts into you — or develops a slow grinding motion, depending on the mood.
You partner can say “Let me do that for you” by taking the reins and doing more of the work—or you can. That’s why the position is so amazing, especially if your partner’s love language is acts of service too, because you can switch off doing the heavy lifting.

????Words of Affirmation: The Chairman????
When it comes to stroking the flames of your love language, verbal affirmation during sex will blow your damn mind. So let us introduce the chairman, an ideal position for G-spot stimulation and sexy chit-chat.
Have your partner sit on a chair or the edge of the bed, with you sitting on top facing away from them. From here, you can drape your legs over theirs, or bring your knees to your chest, supporting your feet on the bed. Since words mean everything to you, this position lets your partner put their mouth right next to your ear, so they can whisper all the extra sweet and complimentary dirty talk that you so crave.
????Gifts: 69????
This love language really isn’t about materialism—instead, gifts are a heartfelt symbol centered on thoughtfulness and effort. And oftentimes, a person that loves to receive also loves to give. If your love language is gifts, the good ‘ol 69 is a flawless position because it’s one that involves a dose of doting for both you are your partner.
There are plenty of ways to get creative during 69, but the basics are: lay side-by-side with your partner, with your face near their genitals and vice versa. Then, stimulate each other with hands, lips, tongues, toys — whatever varying sensations you’re vibing in that moment. Want to take it a step further and introduce some anal play? Just make sure to have some lube around, and enjoy.
????Quality Time: Snuggly Spoon????
If quality time is your love language, you adore sharing moments of full, undivided attention with your partner. Simply put, the facing-spoon position is snuggly as hell and will satisfy your need to connect on a deeper level. In this position, each of you should lie on your sides facing one another, and you can slightly open your legs to allow your partner to penetrate you. For twice the fun, there are all kinds of ways to integrate fingers, toys, grinding, and so on.
This position means really being there in togetherness, embraced and encircled in your partner’s arms. And spooning sex isn’t complicated. It’s sustainable, so you can do it for longer periods of time, uninterrupted in bed, 100% focused on one another without distraction.

????Physical Touch: Grinding Scissor????
When you’re already a touchy person, it’s not surprising that your ideal sex position would involve even more skin-to-skin contact. While the words “grinding scissor” sound high-key like a threat, it’s actually a fun and intimate position to get all tangled up in.
Lie on your back with your partner perpendicular and facing you on their side. From here, place one of your legs between theirs, and drape your other leg over their hips. This leaves their raised leg in the perfect position to be pressed against your vulva, giving you the opportunity to grind while they’re inside you. The best part? In this position you’ll be fully intertwined your partner from head to toe, with their weight pressed on top of you. It also leaves your hands free to explore, in case you’d like to bring in a vibrator or rub your clit, instead of grinding on their thigh.
