It may look unhinged – and it is, a bit – but this position lets you wangle an angle for penetration that feels extra deep and satisfying for both partners...
How?
Whichever one of you is ready to receive; lie on your back with one leg stretched out on the bed. Lift the other leg up as far as you can comfortably reach, as though doing a hamstring stretch.
Giver, lie sideways between your partner’s legs, helping hold their top leg in the air as you enter them. You should have your knees and one elbow on the bed. Support your weight into your upper body, so your hips are free to move.
Start with lots of lube and long, slow thrusts while you find the right hip position.
Feel the thrill of trying something new
Why?
Trying an ambitious new sex position is a win-win scenario; either it feels amazing or you’ll have a good giggle! Novelty can make sex feel thrilling, while you and your partner bond over sharing something new together.
For anal, the raised leg opens the hips, letting you thrust deeper. If it’s penis-in-vagina you’re after, the asymmetrical leg position gives you taughtness around the entrance and a whole new angle inside.
Make it even easier
Don’t force the raised leg to be straight unless your hamstrings feel nice and supple. A bent knee might feel more comfortable.
You can also loop a yoga strap or bondage rope behind the thigh (for a bent knee) or ankle (straight leg) if the holding your leg up is too tiring. Otherwise, try resting your heel on a low piece of furniture or simply wrapping the leg around your partner’s waist.
Make it even better
With the receiver’s legs out long, this position is made for wearing a crotchless bodystocking. With the open gusset and figure-hugging design, bodystockings feel like being naked but even more chic.
Stretch a soft lace or fishnet number over your skin and feel transformed into your sultry alter ego. You can also warm up to the full position by asking your partner to watch you masturbate while adorned in lace. Use a glass dildo on yourself for an extra visual show.
Make it even kinkier
With the legs at an unusual angle, even small adjustments to penetration can feel intense. Try a penis extender, which slides over the penis to offer extra girth or length.
Classic extenders are shaped and colored like natural penises – but you can also get wild fantasy extenders (like the Creature Cocks Tenta Girth) for adding kinky shapes and textures.
Start with plenty of lube and slower thrusts so the body has time to adjust to the extra stretch for you start pounding!
