How?

Find yourselves a bed or a cozy blanket by a window, so you’ll be able to admire the fireworks once they kick off. If you’re watching the fireworks on TV, get cozy on the couch.

If you’re the giver, start out by sitting with your legs wide apart, and leaning back slightly on your hands for support. Ask your partner to climb into your lap and sit facing you, with their pelvis close to yours.

Their legs should straddle your hips, so they can bend their knees and plant their feet on the bed or floor behind you to steady themselves. Once the receiver is comfortably in place, they’ll be able to lean back on their hands for extra stability.

Start touching yourselves while you watch each other. Luxuriate in this until the fireworks begin – or slip a lubed-up penis or dildo inside the receiving partner.

Don’t forget to slather on a good quality water-based lube before you begin any penetration play. Want to rival the fireworks? Try a warming or tingling lube to see in the New Year with explosive orgasms.

Why?

Whether you’re enjoying penis-in-vagina sex, pegging, strap-on fun or vulva-on-vulva grinding, the Naughty New Year with light you up.

You’ll love the control that’s possible with this move. It’s easy to deliver quick and powerful thrusts, thanks to the receiving partner’s slightly reclined position. Or, if you’re more into a sensual slow grind, enjoy the intimacy of being sat in each other’s laps.

Plus: you have incredible views of each other’s bodies, so you can admire your firecracker of a partner as well as the NYE firework show. Cheers to that!

Try

To make the most of the amazing views you’ve got of each other’s bodies, we recommend dressing for the occasion!

Try an easy-access peekaboo bra and crotchless knickers set or open-front briefs. There’s something uniquely thrilling about keeping your underwear on during sex – and why not look your best for NYE? Unlike you, it comes but once a year...

Into anal? Treat yourselves to a pair of suitably sparkly butt plugs. As you thrust or rock back and forth, the sensation of your plugs massaging your internal hot spots will kick your pleasure up a notch.

Is the watching going overboard and showing ALL the firework displays in every major city around the world? No problem: you might last longer with a cock ring.

Cock rings slow down blood flow from the penis, so you’re more likely to stay hard for longer. Plus for a vibrating rabbit cock ring, then your lover can enjoy extra external stimulation too.

Make it even easier

If your arms or hands are likely to get tired out from propping yourself up, try positioning yourself so you can lean against a wall or a sturdy piece of furniture. Using position enhancers to create a comfy, stable way to stay in position can be helpful too. Or just stack up the pillows and blankets to get you snug and supported.

Make it even better

If you’ve always fancied trying double penetration, now’s your chance: Naughty New Year gives you just the right angles for vaginal and anal sex.

Pick out a double-penetration strap-on and revel in all the internal stimulation as you let your partner fill you up. There are also hollow strap-ons that fit neatly over a penis to extend it or add extra stimulating textures.

If you both have vulvas and want to share the fun of penetration, get yourself a double-ended dildo. Alternatively, a strapless strap-on will give you both an intense G-spot massage while stilling allowing for thrusting action too.
