Position of the Week:
The Deep Stretch

It starts with a toe pointed to the skies and ends with deep, satisfying penetration. You might not think of yourself as a yoga pro but, once you’ve experienced how sweet this position feels, you’ll be practicing your hamstring stretches morning and night.

Start slow and increase speed and force of those thrusts when you’re both ready – but be gentle with that raised leg. Let the receiver guide the pace, either by whispering commands or guiding your thrusts with a hand planted on your butt.

Why?

The Deep Stretch works equally well for velvety vaginal or amazing anal sex, so you can give it a go no matter what sort of sex you’re into. It's an intimate position for strap-on play too, since you can easily communicate face-to-face about what’s feeling good.

The raised leg causes the skin around the receiver’s anus or vagina to tauten, which can add a bit of novelty if you’re looking for a twist on Missionary. Meanwhile, the receiver’s hands are completely free to explore, whether that’s pinching their lover’s nipples (consensually!), scratching their back, or simply running their hands through their hair.

Make it even easier

You might not have enough flexibility in the hips and hamstrings to keep your leg fully raised. Feel free to keep a bend in your knee or wrap one leg around your lover’s waist instead of raising it to the sky.

Alternatively, you could rest the lifted leg on some furniture of the right height – the arm of a sofa perhaps – just don’t use anything heavy that might topple down onto you!

Make it even better

An anal toy, like a vibrating butt plug, would fit seamlessly into this position: the giving partner can wear one while they thrust into their lover, adding a pleasing sense of weight and fullness with every thrust. Prostate massagers will be especially effective due to clenching the butt while you thrust, tightening the muscles around the toy and increasing stimulation to your P-spot.

Make it even kinkier

For receiving partners with a penis, you’ve got the option to play with a cock cage here. Wearing a cage heightens the feeling of submission and anticipation. You’ll still be able to enjoy every moment – kissing, touching, feeling the giving partner thrust into you – but without the freedom to enjoy an erection.

This can be deeply arousing for both partners, introducing an element of erotic denial and control for the giver. You can layer the experience by teasing the caged partner with a vibrator on the cage itself or offering them temporary release as a reward. It’s a sexy twist on restraint and power exchange.

Not the position for you?

We're working to make sure that everyone is represented on our website, regardless of who you love, so we'll be using a variety of gender depictions in our Position of the Week posts. This will include straight, gay, lesbian, and gender neutral couples, but all positions will have details in the description of how to make them work for your own relationship dynamic.
