Sexuality: Anal Sex Positions

Anal Sex Positions

Most genital sex positions can be adapted anally, whether the participants are male, female, or transgendered especially from behind, although some with difficulty because of the different angles for anal versus vaginal entry. Also vaginal masturbatory positions, such as fingering or fisting, can be adapted anally by males and females.



Missionary anal: The receptive partner lies on his or her back. In order to achieve optimal alignment, the receptive partner's legs should be in the air with the knees drawn towards the chest. Some sort of support (such as a pillow) under the receptive partner's hips might also be useful. The penetrative partner positions him/herself between the receptive partner's legs. This position is often cited as good for beginners, because it allows them to relax more fully than is usual in the doggy position.

Doggy style: The receptive partner is either on all fours, or lies on his or her stomach. The penetrative partner approaches and penetrates from the rear. This position maximizes the depth of penetration, which may be desirable by either or both partners, but can pose the risk of pushing against the sigmoid colon. If the receptive partner is male, this position increases the chances of stimulating the prostate. This position makes easier a more vigorous thrusting action. A variation is the leapfrog position, in which the receptive partner angles the torso downward, with the face resting on (for example) a pillow. 

Another "rear entry" position involves the receptive partner lying flat and face down, with the penetrative partner straddling the thighs of the receiving partner. This can produce sensations different from the doggy position above.
Spooning: The partners lie on their sides facing the same direction. This allows the receptive partner to greatly control initial entry and the depth, speed and force of subsequent thrusting.


Cowboy/cowgirl or reverse cowboy/cowgirl: In these positions the receptive partner is on top of and straddling the penetrative partner either facing the penetrative partner or facing away ("reverse") from the penetrative partner. This is a great beginning position, as this position allows the receptive partner more control over the depth, rhythm and speed of penetration. More specifically, the receptive partner can slowly push his/her anus down on the penis, allowing time for the anus muscles to relax around the penis before the receiving partner decides to start riding up and down on the penis.

Pick-up – Done on bed for greater intimacy, but can also be done standing up. With the receiving partner on her or his back and the penetrating partner on his knees, the penetrating partner puts the receiving partner's legs on top of his shoulders. The penetrating partner leans in to kiss while inserting his penis into receiving partner's anus. The penetrating partner then wraps arms underneath the receiving partner, lifts the receiving partner off the bed while leaning back for balance. The receiving partner masturbates with one hand while wrapping the other hand around the penetrating partner's shoulders. The penetrating partner is supporting almost the entire weight of the receiving partner's body, and moves the body up and down on top of his penis until ejaculation. 

Lean back and let him ride – Done on bed. The penetrating partner lounges on bed, puts arms behind him, so that torso is raised off the bed. The receiving partner then squats/lowers himself or herself onto the penis of the penetrating partner. The receiving partner, or rider, then lays down on the bed with the penetrating partner's penis still inside his or her anus and bends the knees, placing feet on each side of the penetrating partner's waist. The rider then uses his or her legs to buck the ass up and down on top of the penetrating partner's penis, while the shoulders and upper back are still resting on the bed. The penetrating partner lounges back and watches while the rider masturbates and squirms/bucks on top of the penetrating partner's penis. 

Cowboy and horse – Done on floor, bed, backyard lawn or the open plains. Also, good for big receiving partners and smaller penetrating partners. The receiving partner gets down on his hands and feet (not knees) and sticks ass into air with his knees bent. Penetrating partner inserts penis into receiving partner's ass and then leans chest down over the back of the receiving partner, wrapping one arm around receiving partner's chest and grabbing the receiving partner's penis with the other hand. The receiving partner then straightens knees and lifts ass into air while the penetrating partner still inside is lifted up as well. Performed best if penetrating partner can wrap left leg around left leg of receiving partner, and similarly with the right leg -- in this way the receiving partner is completely holding up the weight of the penetrating partner and can buck around like a horse while the penetrating partner masturbates the receiving partner. 

Cradle – Done in chair, or couch. The penetrating partner sits on couch and the receiving partner sits horizontally in the lap of the penetrating partner. The penetrating partner inserts penis into anus of the receiving partner while he wraps one arm around the shoulders/back of the receiving partner and the other arm around the knees/legs, and picks up receiving partner to craddle him or her. The receiving partner masturbates while the penetrating partner rocks the receiving partner back/forth and up/down on top of his penis. 

The dancing dolphin – Done in a spa or swimming pool. The penetrating partner seats him or herself on spa/pool step, so that lower back is arched yet firm. The receiving partner then slowly sits herself or himself onto the penis/strap-on of the penetrating partner. The receiving partner then swivels in the water with the penetrating partner's penis/strap-on still deep inside her or his anus; using the spa/pool water to aid in anal lubrication and cooling. The penetrator then slides off the step to thrust the anal probe deep into his/her partners ass, while the receiving partner treads water and masturbates.
