5 Porn Stars Share Mind-Blowing 69ing Tips

If you've ever tried to 69 with someone, you know it can be awkward AF. In general, the 69 position mostly sounds like a joke that someone tried to make real, but what if it's possible to have really great sex that way? It has to be, right? Cosmopolitan.com spoke with five adult film stars to get their tips on how to make 69ing more hot than hateable.

1. If you're on the bottom, put a pillow under your butt and under your head, Julia Ann, who has appeared in many adult films from Naughty America, advises. That will raise their crotch and tilt their junk in your direction, making it easier to access once you're on top. The pillow under the head allows them to reach your privates more easily. Plus, Ann adds, "You also get the extra points for pampering them."

2. There's more than one way to 69. Ann says that although 69ing is usually portrayed with one person on their back and the other person on top, she prefers having both partners on their sides. Ann says the best way to get on your sides and have it still be workable is to start in the traditional 69 position (one on the bottom, one on top) and once you are comfortable, roll onto your sides. Ann explains: "I find the connection is deeper, everyone is more relaxed, and gravity works with you."

3. If you're on top, lower down slowly and show them what you want. Award-winning adult actress Tanya Tate says that if you're on top, doing so will show them how you want to be licked via your body movements. Tate explains: "When you're in the 69 position, you can guide your body to get them to focus on your clit, pussy lips, inside your vagina, or your bum hole." Plus, since the ass-in-face maneuver 69ing requires isn't always the most typical eating-out position, it can't hurt to give him some guidance. You can also keep moving your body to whatever rhythm you're going for.

4. If you're 69ing with a man, you should be on top. Angela White, an award-winning adult actress and director, says if you're 69ing with a woman, lying on your side is a great idea. However, if you're 69ing with a man, she recommends being on top, "so that you have complete control over how deeply you take his cock." This is A+ advice because choking on one's penis does not = positive experience.

5. Alternate who gives and who receives. Since minimizing "OMG, this feels so good" distraction is key to a good 69ing, adult film star Asa Akira recommends taking turns. Akira explains: "Start by giving some killer head. Tease them until they're right on the edge of an orgasm, then pull back, sit up, (or just lie back if you're on the bottom) and let them do the work. Keep alternating between giving really good head and sitting back to enjoy. Do this forever, until you explode." Sounds like a plan.
