Welcome to the first anal sex positions article of Instinct Magazine. We already provide you the best in lifestyle and entertainment, and we now want to bring you the best of inspiration for your bedroom. 😉
Scroll through our guide of the best anal sex positions to find a new favorite. We know we did when we were writing it!
-
Over the Desk Sex Position
We had to start with a tried-and-true favorite because if you haven’t tried this yet, you really should. Not only is the Over the Desk sex position approachable, but it’s also infused with that “gotta have it now” sexual energy we all know and love. Plus, it’s very travel-friendly as desks, tables, and counters can be found in almost any place you go. 😉
A Quick Tip: If you and your partner are at different heights, you might need to get a bit creative. Either partner can stand on an aerobics step platform or spread/close their legs to change their height.
-
Spooning
It’s almost cheating to include Spooning in a list of the best positions for anal, but if you haven’t tried it, you’re really missing out. It’s really one of the best anal sex positions first thing in the morning. You can slowly wake up together, skin-on-skin, in the best of ways. The bottom can feel all of the top’s excitement as passion grows. Once you’ve lubed up and slid inside, the position keeps you both facing away from one another, making morning breath something you don’t have to worry about.
A Quick Tip: Untangling your bodies to relube can be a bit of a hassle. Start with extra lube to reduce how often you need to pull apart.
-
Hooked In Position
Simulate a threesome with the Hooked In Position. As the top hits the prostate from behind, the bottom gets double the stimulation with a penis stroker or sex toy on their shaft. This is a sex position that really tests the bottom’s stamina, and it can be great for couples who love to watch powerful, huge cumshots as proof of a job well done.
A Quick Tip: There are lots of sex toys out there for you to choose from. Some are extremely stimulating, and others will be a lot more benign. Choose the level of intensity you want from your stroker to match how long you want to go – and don’t forget to opt for an open-ended stroker if you want to see that resulting money shot!
-
Lap Dance Position
If the bottom is a bit of a show off, you can’t go wrong with the Lap Dance position. Not only does this anal sex position make for great angles, but it also allows your bottom to put their riding skills to work, showcasing one of their most pleasurable skillsets. Experiment with the bottom’s chest position to better hit the prostate. Leaning forwards or backwards can help this become the best position for anal by getting the shaft into that perfect spot. 😉
A Quick Tip: It’s easy to forget you’ll want an armless chair for this one. Plus, do a quick test drive ahead of the main event; some chairs can be too tall and too wide to easily straddle.
-
Jockey Sex Position
Great for partners of discordant heights, the Jockey Sex Position finds the bottom laying facedown with the top straddling their ass to slide in from behind. This position partners long, comfortable, marathon-length strokes from the top with the delicious feeling of being “taken” for the bottom. Plus, it’s pretty easy to pull off!
A Quick Tip: You can do this anal sex position on the floor, but we’d really recommend against it. The bottom’s shaft is going to rub against whatever surface you’re laying on. Consider making that surface a soft bed, a pillow, or a sex toy grinding pad to add the most stimulation. If they’re someone who can shoot with a bit of grinding, the Jockey can lead to simultaneous orgasms.
-
Supported Legs Up Position
We all need a bit of a helping hand sometimes – especially if that helping hand means better, more-explosive prostate stimulation that doesn’t need to tap out from shaking muscles. The Supported Legs Up Position utilizes a sex sling to help hold the legs back towards the shoulders, making it easier to hit that glorious p-spot with every thrust. Most sex slings offer adjustable straps, letting you turn yourself into a pretzel if that’s what the day brings.
A Quick Tip: There are a lot of sex slings like this out there. Consider one with a pillow or padded head support if you like rough sex. The back of your neck will thank you later!
-
Legs Up Sex Position
Don’t have a sex sling? The Legs Up sex position achieves the same position but without the gear! The top places their hands on the bottom’s inner thighs, pushing the knees back towards the face as they slide inside. This drastically reduces how much core engagement the bottom needs to have as the top, quite literally, keeps those legs in place with their upper body.
A Quick Tip: Be very careful with this one. While it can be hotter than heck to fold your bottom into a pretzel while having your way with them, this can easily injure your bottom if their flexibility level doesn’t support it. If you’re worried you’ll get carried away, the Supported Legs Up position above takes any worry about your (much-deserved) enthusiasm out of the picture.
-
Leapfrog Anal Sex Position
If your thigh lengths match up, the Leapfrog position easily becomes one of your go-to best positions for anal sex. An easy thrusting position makes for marathon ease while the bottom can, quite literally, just lay down and enjoy the unavoidable climb to ecstasy. Maybe pack a pillow so they can literally embody their pillow princess title.
A Quick Tip: If you’re trying to hone into that prostate, the bottom will want to have some lower back flexibility – and not everybody does! If you’re struggling to find the p-spot here, the top can come in from a higher angle (like squatting) to help get the tip into that blessed zone. If the bottom wants to work on their flexibility, the Happy Baby yoga position is a great place to start.
-
Sphinx Position
A great way to explore side entry positions without trying to get a degree in geometry, the Sphinx lets you both feel like sex position superstars without the stress. The bottom lays on their side then bends their top leg, resting it in front of them. This gives the top room to kneel behind and slide inside, making for quick set-up and easy-in access.
A Quick Tip: If your bottom has a round peach that’s perfect to look at, all of that delicious flesh might get in the way of finding the hole. Ask the bottom to pull that ass cheek up to expose where you’re headed.
-
Cowboy Anal Sex Position
Face-to-face sex can be hot. It can be even hotter when you get to watch the expression on your bottom’s face as you slowly slide them open. We love the Cowboy position as a first choice in a sex position marathon as those initial penetration moments make for the hottest facial expressions.
A Quick Tip: If you’ve been with your partner awhile, they might be easily able to take your length at a moment’s notice. If you want to watch your partner’s face as they experience new sensations, consider a penis sheath or strap-on dildo for something new.
-
Rodeo Sex Position
An intimate position that pairs perfectly with your “Netflix and Chill”, the Rodeo anal sex position utilizes a couch to press you both closer together. With taller couches, the bottom will set the pace, but the top can help thrust from below if they can get firm footing on the floor beneath the couch. Either way, you get intimacy, orgasmic pleasure, and the ability to watch your partner as your bodies pleasure one another. That’s a win-win in our book!
A Quick Tip: Depending on your bodies, this position may not make for deep penetration. This can be a great equalizer if you’re trying for simultaneous orgasms! With the bottom’s shaft easily accessible by anyone, you can “time” each other’s pleasure to shoot at the same time.
-
Backwards Slide Anal Sex Position
Most anal sex positions see the top doing the bulk of the physical labor. The Backwards Slide turns around and reverses it with a position that has the bottom doing the heavy lifting. Utilizing that same couch as you just “christened” with the Rodeo sex position, the Backwards Slide has the bottom leaning all the way back, placing their hands on the floor in front of the couch. The bottom then uses their arms and feet to slide back and forth on the top’s lap, making for a luscious “grinding” motion.
A Quick Tip: We’re not kidding. This is a full body workout. (It’s, essentially, a reverse plank!) The top can help share in some of that work by grabbing the bottom’s hips, pulling the bottom towards themselves with every thrust.
-
Cornerback Anal Sex Position
The Cornerback makes for a simple, side-entry sex position that gives you both as much control as you want. The top can easily move their hips while the bottom can squeeze those powerful thighs to help initiate the action. All-the-while, you can look directly at one another and use those two free hands wherever they’re needed. 😉
A Quick Tip: Depending on your weight differences, the Cornerback can put the bottom’s lower leg to sleep. Get ready to transition to a different position if that happens. Nothing is more distracting to orgasm than pins and needles!
-
Faux Spitroasting Sex Position
While this is “technically” an oral sex position too, it does involve anal sex in the best of ways. If Spitroasting has been on your bucket list, a suction cup dildo makes it possible without hitting a cruising spot. Just find a wall or piece of furniture where the suction cup dildo feels secure, let the bottom slide on, and take your spot at “the other end of the table” for make that threesome come to life.
A Quick Tip: The suction cup dildo can go on either end. If the top wants to receive oral sex while the dildo pleasures the back, it can work that way! If the top wants to slide into that tight bum while the dildo gets the deep throat, that works too. It’s versatile like that. 😉
-
Happy Baby Anal Sex Position
If either of you have a love for shoes or feet, the Happy Baby sex position is a serious win. The bottom curls up into the “Happy Baby” yoga position, leaving their entrance accessible and ready for pleasure. The top slides in, enjoying the bottom’s feet right in their face. While the bottom’s hands will likely be busy holding their legs in place, the top’s hands are free to roam, offering potential for foot worship and toe sucking.
A Quick Tip: The Happy Baby pose can be an intense stretch even when you’re not adding an anal sex position to it! The bottom may want to stretch the pose ahead of time. With the spread-leg view, it can be a perfect foreplay visual before you get started. Just pretend you’re starring in your own “yoga studio” porn shoot.
-
The Golden Arch Position
No time for a workout today? Mix pleasure with fitness in the Golden Arch position. This position requires a full-body workout from both partners, working in tandem to set the pace. You get a front row seat to your partner’s pleasure with a layered position that makes for really deep penetration.
A Quick Tip: Everyone’s hands and feet will be fully utilized in the Golden Arch. If the bottom requires additional pleasure to reach their peak, consider adding more fun before or after.
-
Piledriver
You’ve heard about it, and you’ve maybe had the chance to try it for yourself. The Piledriver makes for unbelievably deep penetration with “inescapable” dominance. It’s one of those positions that makes you feel utterly “used” in the best of ways.
A Quick Tip: The Piledriver is not for everyone, and caution is encouraged. It’s easy to rest a lot of weight on top of the folded-up bottom – which can lead to back and hamstring injuries. The top should aim to support most of their weight with their legs, and doing the Piledriver near a counter, sex swing, or other sturdy surface can allow the top to utilize their strong upper body to help support additional weight. Even so, we recommend a “trial run” of the Piledriver before diving into rough sex to ensure everyone walks away sore but injury-free.
-
Stand and Deliver
Another sex position that makes you remember why you bothered buying a kitchen table, the Stand and Deliver is one of those passionate – yet simple – best positions for anal sex. Choose a surface that matches the top’s hip height, get the bottom to lay their back, and go to town. It’s as simple as that! (And you didn’t hear it from us, but quite a few hotel rooms have the perfect furniture to make this happen.)
A Quick Tip: Ensure the surface you choose is sturdy. Especially as you both get lost in the moment, you’re going to put a lot of weight on your table or desk. Make sure you don’t end up paying room damage fees from a collapsed table by ensuring it can support your weight before you begin. Ain’t nobody thinking about the table’s weight capacity in the middle of some of the hottest sex of your life.
-
Stairway to Heaven Anal Sex Position
Think of this as an easy way to get kinky. An adventurous change-up to Doggy Style, the Stairway to Heaven sex position utilizes any set of stairs as a backdrop for your sexual adventure. The bottom of the stairs or a stairway landing provides space for easy exploration, but you can play this position on “hard mode” by trying to use any individual stair too.
A Quick Tip: Use the stairway’s elevated surfaces to your advantage! Easily equalize differing heights by having one partner on a step higher or lower than the other. It’s like stairs were made to be sex furniture!
-
Kneeling Fox Position
A comfortable anal sex position that can be done anywhere, the Kneeling Fox position makes for small, comfortable movements that can still satisfy those “primal” vibes. As long as you both can comfortably kneel, you can get into the Kneeling Fox. Plus, this position puts the top’s hands exactly where the bottom wants them: adding even more pleasure for the bottom.
A Quick Tip: While this position can be done anywhere, picking a spot with carpet or pillows can prevent your knees from complaining. However, super-soft materials (like a mattress or beanbag) can make this position a bit more challenging as it may change your balance.
Enjoy your Anal Sex Positions Adventures
Remember: a random couple out there invented all the “best anal sex positions” you see out there. There’s nothing stopping you from being the inventor of the next big sex position. Have fun exploring, trying new things, and exploring all of the beautiful (and orgasmic!) ways your bodies can fit together.
