Position of the Week:
The Handsy Hound

The Handsy Hound is kneeling for sexual healing – a solo masturbation position that can be adapted in many super sexy ways. It’s all-fours, all pleasure!

Reach your hand between your legs (flexible people with vulvas might be able to reach over the butt instead) and explore your sensitive areas. Or grab a wand vibrator with a long handle to do the reaching for you.

Why?

This active solo masturbation pose brings a playful energy to your self-pleasure routine. Unlike lying down or sitting, kneeling on all fours involves your whole body, creating a more earthy, muscles-tautened, full-body stance and heightened awareness of sensations. Your ass is deliciously touchable with your other hand, letting you admire its curve or apply a stinging spank...

The position also adds a sense of movement and exploration, which can make the experience feel more intense and exciting, breaking up routine habits and inviting you to discover new sensations.

Make it even easier

If kneeling on all fours is uncomfortable or difficult, there are ways to adapt this position to suit your needs. Placing cushions or folded blankets under your knees can ease pressure and add softness.

If supporting your weight on your hands is a challenge, lean your upper body onto pillows or a stable surface to reduce strain. You don’t need to hold your butt in the air either – place more pillows or a sex wedge under the hips to elevate your sweet spots without effort.

Make it even better

While kneeling on all fours, use one hand to guide a vibrator over your clitoris, balls, or anus. A wand vibrator will make it easy to reach your erogenous zones with one hand – but if you’ve got a vulva, consider a clitoral suction toy.

These toys use pulsing air waves to stimulate the clit without buzzy vibrations, ranging in intensity from a gentle suction to a steady thud. For inside out pleasure, try the Lovehoney Dual Embrace, which combines clitoral suction with satisfying G-spot stimulation. Irresistible.

Pairing the intensity of toys with slow, deep breathing and varying the pressure and rhythm can create a deeply satisfying and immersive experience. Adding lube can also enhance comfort and smoothness, making every touch glide effortlessly.

Make it even kinkier

To intensify the Handsy Hound, grab a double ended toy like the njoy stainless steel dildo. This sultry toy is deliciously curved and has two solid metal ends, so you can explore a variety of sensations with each.

While kneeling on all fours, use one end of the dildo vaginally, exploring depth as it warms to your body heat. Then, when you’re close to climax, slip the other end into your anus – with a good slick of anal lube. Just be sure to never place the same part of the toy into your vagina after inserting it anally, unless your edging skills are so good you can give it a good wash first!

If you’re not keen on anal, focus on temperature play instead. You can cool the ends of your toy with icy water – or run them under the hot tap for few seconds for a deliciously warm sensation. Test the temperature of your toy on the back of your hand before you slide it inside you and enjoy full body tingles.
