BOTTOMS UP!

Anal sex is a playground filled with pleasure for every body. For tops, it can be a deliciously tight experience, and for bottoms with either vulvas or prostates, equally satisfying and full-body orgasmic - as long as you’re not shy with the lube, of course! And of course, there’s the element of sexual taboo and power games at play, which can be a very fun avenue to explore when your partner is on the same page.

If you’re a cis het man who's never bottomed before, it can be an amazing way to increase your empathy for your partner, and the vulnerabilities and physical pleasure that come from being penetrated. Plus, if you’re yet to discover your prostate (or already love it, and want to push things further), you’re in for a world of fun.

So without further butt talk, here are some of our favourite anal positions!

For vulva owners

If you’re a tentative first timer

Try spooning or tucked missionary. Spooning is loving and gives your partner a chance to stimulate with your vulva and more with their hands, while tucked missionary opens you up for easy entry, but keeps you face to face with your partner, so you can communicate what you like, or don’t.

If you’re looking for new sensations

And we’re back to doggy style, because it really is that versatile! For vulva owners, the G Spot and the A spot are so close, it's possible to stimulate the whole clitoris from the inside with deep penetration. Doggy is great for deep thrusting, because it’s stable for the receiver, so the giver can try various angles (we think 45 degrees is perfect here - towards the belly button) until they hit the spot.

If you’re exploring power play

If you’re a consensual submissive who wants to take it a little further, anal is a great way to explore that dynamic. Being penetrated from behind, while bent over a table or high bed, can really push your boundaries, while also feeling really good (lube, lube, lube!). Try your hands tied behind you with your face down to feel totally helpless and subservient.
