Cowgirl
Sexual Positions FreeWe’ve described above how the cowgirl position is a great starting point especially for the receiver to be in control of depth and pace. Because everyone’s hands will be free once you get going, it can be a great position for stimulating the clitoris and inducing a strong female orgasm. If you both have penises, the P-spot will be massaged perfectly and you’ll have the visual of an erection between you both. It might seem unusual for anal, but this position also allows you to be able to look into each other’s eyes, strengthening that bond and intimacy even more.
Reverse cowgirl
Sexual Positions FreeJust like the cowgirl, reverse cowgirl is excellent for a hands-free ride allowing both parties’ hands to roam and stimulate other areas. Straddle your partner but face towards their feet. This can make for very deep penetration and again, the receiver is in control. You can really let go and ride your partner hard in this position once you’ve got comfortable and your body begins to adjust and love the new sensations. If you like to watch yourself, this can be perfect to do just that, and for the person lying back, there will be the added stimulation of their very own sex show.
Doggy style
A classic pose and one of the best anal positions. While the giver appears to have full control of the action, the receiver can request they stay still to allow them to push back and therefore command the pace and depth. Because in this position the giver does have more control over the proceedings, this might be a good position to try after you’ve developed some confidence and feel comfortable with having anal sex.
This is also the one of the best anal positions for visual stimulation and watching your penis slide in and out of that tight hole. This also has the added benefit of the giver being able to see exactly where their penis is going, so no slip-ups and ending up in the wrong place.
Backdoor missionary
Back door missionary has the receiver lying back with, just as the name suggests, an added twist to a traditionally puritanical position. Putting a pillow under the receiver’s hips will allow for easier access and just like the cowgirl, you will be able to look into each other’s eyes. Deepening trust and intimacy and being able to read each other’s facial cues for signals on going faster or slowing down.
Lap dance
The lap dance anal sex position is very much like the reverse cowgirl but the giver is sitting up in a chair, enabling the receiver to straddle their thighs and lower themselves onto the penis. This is one of the best anal positions to try for many reasons—firstly, the receiver can lower themselves at their own pace, taking time to get that lube worked in and bear down onto the tip of the penis. Second, once in place, even a gentle rocking back and forth will cause extreme sensation and ultimately pleasure. This is perfect for either party to reach around and stimulate the receiver. Using a clit toy here would induce a very powerful female anal orgasm. And the visuals! Seated in front of a full-length mirror, both of you can enjoy the sexy scenes and drive each other wild. Watching in the mirror means you can also occasionally flick your gaze to each other’s eyes, if you can bear to pull your focus away from that hot anal action.
If thoughts of double penetration make an appearance this really is a perfect position to enable that. The receiver’s vagina is exposed and legs open so there’s lots of space to introduce a dildo or vibrator here. The walls between the vagina and anus are very thin, so the pressure and vibration will transfer to the giver and enhance everyone’s anal orgasms for sure. This can be a very filling and fulfilling anal sex position.
Spooning
Sexual Positions FreeSpooning can be the best anal position if you are feeling a little vulnerable. You’re holding each other close and it is perfect for taking things extra slow. Nobody’s weight is having to be supported so there will be no unintentional slips or numbness. You can be very emotionally close as you are literally cradling or being cradled as your try this new and deeply intimate position. The receiver can lift and open their thighs allowing access for the penis. It’s a wonderful position to reassure each other, especially if the giver is whispering into their partner’s ear. You can stimulate other erogenous zones too, really wrap yourself up in each other to make your first-time anal experience a beautiful one. Using a rocking motion in this position will really enhance those pleasurable sensations.
