When it comes to Anal Sex, choosing the right position can play an important role in your pleasure. With the right Sex Position, you can improve accessibility, promote deeper relaxation, and enhance your comfort as you play- all important considerations that can prevent injuries from occurring during Anal Stimulation.
QUICK LINKS:
The Best Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Anal Positions
Doggy Style
Beginner-Friendly
If you are new to Anal Exploration, the Doggy Style Sex Position may appeal to you. It traditionally involves the receiving partner getting on all-fours, while their partner stands or kneels to enter them from behind. The Doggy Style Position allows for deeper penetration and improved access to the genitals, making it a popular choice for any experience level.
You can also adapt the Doggy Style Sex Position to better accommodate your needs. Laying side-by-side, or having the Receiver lay flat on their stomach are two popular ways to modify this Sex Position.
Reverse Cowgirl
Beginner-Friendly
If you enjoy the visual enhancements that Doggy Style Sex provides, you might consider trying a Reverse Cowgirl Position. Reverse Cowgirl is a modified Missionary Sex Position that requires the rider to face away from their partner. Like Doggy Style, this Sex Position leaves the arms of the Receiver free to explore their body, or a partner. Importantly, it places the Rider in a position of control- allowing the Receiver to determine the desired speed and depth of penetration.
The Reverse Cowgirl Position typically involves the Receiver resting on their knees. For those craving a deeper and fuller stroke, try performing this position in a squat.
Triceratops
Intermediate
The Triceratops Sex Position is an excellent option for Intermediate Anal Explorers that highlights the natural power dynamic between the Giver and Receiver. The standing variation of this Sex Position involves the Receiver facing away from their partner, while being entered from behind. Joining hands with the Giver allows the Receiver to maintain their balance as they lean forward, submitting control to their partner. As a more submissive Sex Position, it is crucial to discuss your expectations and communicate your Safe Words prior to play.
A more casual variation of this Position involves the Receiver using their hands to stabilize them, while the Giver sits or stands behind them. This allows the Receiver to maintain greater control, while still appearing to be visually compromised.
Piledriver
Advanced
If you have experience with Anal, then you might enjoy the thrill of the Piledriver Sex Position. This Position can be incredibly erotic for both the Giver and the Receiver, with the right precautions in place. In this Sex Position, the Receiver lays on a flat surface, lifting their legs off the ground by supporting their lower back in their palms. The Giver stands above their partner, penetrating in a downward motion to maximize the depth of each stroke.
Like other Sex Positions, the Piledriver can be adapted to your preferences. If the couple chooses to face each other in this Position, it will leave the hands free to stimulate the Penis or the Vulva. If they choose to face away from each other, it will provide greater access to the Derriere, allowing the Giver to spank or grope their partner from behind.

Doggie Straps
A Doggie Strap is a simple but effective Positioning Tool that can completely transform your backdoor experiences. It features a wide, padded band that can be wrapped around the lower part of your partner's waist to bring them closer, faster. For the best results, have the Giver wrap the straps on either end of this belt around their palms- we recommend creating two loops to best secure your grip. Pulling the belt toward your body allows for deeper, more penetrating strokes that are sure to make an impression on your lover. Doggie Straps come in variable sizes to accommodate all different body types.
Adjustable Restraints
Products like the Pivot Positioning Partner are designed to improve your comfort, in even the most strenuous of Sex Positions.

Anal Relaxers
Any Anal Enthusiast can appreciate the benefits of a good Anal Relaxer! Designed to soften and relax the sphincter muscles before Anal Stimulation, an Anal Relaxer is a vital tool in many people’s toy chest. Unlike Anal Desensitizers, Anal Relaxers do not numb the body. They can take effect in as little as three minutes while preserving sensation and reducing the possibility of injury. We love Intimate Earth’s Daring Anal Relaxer paired with their Relaxing Bliss Water-Based Glide.
