Position of the Week:
Double Booty Duty

No ifs, just butts this week as we’re easing into anal play with a rim-markable position that’s a tasty twist on the classic 69.

Why?

This is a close, sensual position that builds anticipation for deeper play, letting your bodies relax and tap into that pure intimacy, away from the outside world. It’s ideal if you’re new to anal play but curious to explore with someone you trust.

It’s also wonderfully mutual; no one’s just “giving” or “receiving,” you’re both in the spotlight. The close body alignment keeps you physically connected the whole time, which adds a cozy, conspiratorial energy to this comfy set up for exploring anal play.

Make it even easier

Try side-lying instead of face-to-face if neck or back strain is an issue, with pillows propped into place to offer support wherever it’s needed (memory foam is great here). A firm mattress or sofa with a firm back is great for support, too.

If getting into position is tricky, one partner can stay lying still while the other adjusts around them. If all that mouth-action gets tiring, rest your head back and grab a toy that can do it for you. The Lovehoney Heart Duo has a suction head and a soft, flexible tongue, both made from soft, body-safe silicone.

Make it even better

Anal play feels even better when you’re getting pleasured in other ways, but 69 is already quite a full-on position! So keep it simple with wearable toys, like a vibrating love egg or a cock ring, that you can slip in (or on) and leave to work.

If you’ve got a penis, a vibrating cock ring sends thrills through you while your partner rims your ass – a truly heavenly combination. Start on a low setting; gentle hums pair beautifully with slow, teasing mouthwork. Hands can rest on hips to guide rhythm, syncing vibration with motion.

Make it even kinkier

A strand of progressively larger anal beads or a set of anal dildos in increasing sizes lets you gently, sexily stretch your partner’s anus out. Showing them how much girth they can take – safely and slowly – can be incredibly erotic for both of you.

Go gently, use plenty of lube and listen to your partner’s words and body as you go (stop immediately if they feel any pain). This is a sensational teaser for anal sex, especially for beginners. If you’re more experienced, try a stainless steel dildo like the njoy Pure Wand. The cool, firm weight of a steel toy can bring an unusually orgasmic sensation to your session.
