What Position Is Best For Anal?

Everyone is going to have their likes and dislikes here.

However, there are more than two positions (missionary and doggy) with anal, so don’t hesitate to read up and branch out a bit.

On Top

I’ve found many people are quite afraid of doing anal on top. It can seem a bit scary, to impale yourself onto a toy or cock.

In my experience, it’s actually easier for many receivers, and gives them more control over how far and fast things go.

The exact “on top” position depends on the shape of the penis or toy. If it curves up, toward the giver’s belly, the receiver facing their partner will have the opportunity to have the p-spot or g-spot and genitalia stimulated by the curve.

Not to mention the hot eye contact and access to other goodie bits for breast, chest, clitoral, or penile stimulation.

If it curves downward, face away for the physical stimulation, and to offer the giver a most excellent posterior view.

In any case, or if there is no curve, just go with what’s most comfortable.

Many prefer to try this position on a couch or comfortable chair instead of a bed. It puts you closer together, making it feel more safe and intimate.

Your partner is able to see everything that you do, and both of your hands are free to explore each other, so no sensation should go unnoticed.

On Top Variations

Tantra-Like

Giver:

Sits cross-legged. Leans back for the receiver to straddle, face-to-face.

Benefits:

More intimacy, plus greater stimulation of penis or clitoris between your bodies.

On A Chair/Stool

Receiver:

On top (facing any direction) on a chair or stool with no arms.

Benefits:

Having your feet on the ground gives both the giver and the receiver extra control and leverage for more bounce.

The Crossbreed

Receiver:

On top, facing away. Lean forward onto your forearms, and rest one leg between the giver’s legs.

Benefits:

More access to the butt for the giver, and easier reach around from a prone position.

Doggy

Doggy style is the default for many people when it comes to anal.

On the one hand, this position can be the most painful for the receiver as they can have the least amount of control and thrusting can seem uncomfortably deep, but the pubic bone slapping at that angle can really stimulate strong orgasms.

Benefits:

Doggy is HOT. It’s a hair-grabbing, ass-smacking good time.

LOL!

For those with g-spots, this position puts the vaginal and anal passageways into closer proximity.

For everyone, this is also a position where the giver can often find the most leverage for rough fucking.

Caveat:

Receivers, you’ll really want to trust your partner with this position. Especially if they like to play rough.

Doggy Variations

Pillows

Doggy position over a pile of pillows, to angle the pelvis just right, and to reduce strain on hands and knees.

Standing Doggy

Receiver:

Lean over the bed, a table, a chair, a counter, something you can grab onto. Play with different heights for different feelings of penetration. Also try with legs spread further apart, and rising on your toes (sounds like a workout, doesn’t it?).

Benefits:

Allows for differently angled thrusts and control over how the penetration feels.

Lazy Doggy

Receiver:

Laying down on their stomach.

Giver:

Straddles one leg. The other is out, a bit bent. Giver can thrust and massage.

Missionary

Maybe I’m hopelessly boring, but I love missionary position. For me, it’s incredibly intimate, allowing kissing, eye contact, legs wrapped around torsos, scratching…Ah, me!

Regular missionary can be a bit difficult to achieve for most couples, as a lot of the length of the toy/cock can be taken up in just getting past extraneous body bits.

It helps if the Receiver raises their legs and bends them, or puts them over the Giver’s shoulders, wrapped around the G-type’s waist, or bent and resting on the R-type’s chest for closest contact.

Missionary Variations

Lotus

Receiver:

Spread legs, bring the knees up. Experiment with pelvis tilt, possibly with a pillow under the buttocks.

Benefits:

Allows for a close connection, and the angle can be adjusted for just the right position.

Parting the Bamboo

Receiver:

One leg down, the other over the giver’s shoulder.

Benefits:

The giver gets to look at your whole body while inside you and you get to feel a more intense sensation without being totally overwhelmed by their dick.

Pinned!

Giver:

Straddles one leg and pins the other (bent, shin to skin) against their own chest.

Hercules

Receiver:

On a countertop or table. Lay back.

Giver:

Lifts the ass onto the dick. Could also use pillows for the table, so you don’t tire out your arms.

Spooning

Giver:

Lies down behind receiver, who’s in a naturally side-sleeping position, slightly curled, and bends their body to match.

Benefits:

This position is great because you’ll both be pretty relaxed (which is key to your enjoyment of anal) and the giver will be able to reach around to other important parts like your breasts/chest and clit/dick.

A side by side ‘spooned’ position is a great way to start, especially if the receiver bends and stretches their upper legs away from their body, as this automatically begins to open the external sphincter a little.

Reclining Reverse Cowgirl/Boy

Flip the side spoon on it’s er, back too. In this double decker position you can start off in your spoon and then move your bodies towards the ceiling.

You’ll still have the closeness that you want from classic spooning sex but something a little different. Plus the receiver gets a bit more control from being on top you’ve just got to hope the giver doesn’t mind getting a bit squished.

The Chair

Giver:

Sits back, draws knees almost to chest.

Receiver:

Sits on toy/cock, like the back of the thighs are a chair.

Tips For Height Differences

Oh yes. This can be an issue, especially if your heights are very different.

If you’re going to do doggy, try a myriad of surfaces (bed, couches, armchairs) in your house until you find one that aligns your heights comfortably.

Height can be adjusted by the giver or receiver wearing heels, using a step-stool (a VERY stable one!), standing, kneeling, using the stairs, or by the receiver spreading their legs in a standing position and bending over to lower their hips.

Even partners of varied heights can do Missionary, with a pillow under the Receiver’s hips and their legs over the giver’s shoulders, or the R-type on top.

Depending on the height of your bed, the receiver can lay on their back at the end of the bed with their ass hanging off while the giver holds their legs up while standing and penetrating.

Spooning works well for different-sized bodies. Both because the Receiver is relaxed in the abdominal region and because they can work themselves back onto the toy/cock, which allows them to go at their own pace.
