Most sex positions can be modified to be suitable for anal sex, but these really make your butt the star of the show!

These positions are open to everyone, but you may need some props to help you out!

Spooning is a classic position that makes a great gentle entry into anal sex. It’s cozy and intimate and there won’t be a lot of intense thrusting, but it still feels amazing. This position is also perfect for reaching out and stimulating your partner’s clitoris or penis or exploring double penetration.

Riding positions, such as cowgirl or reverse cowgirl (or the more gender-neutral rodeo rider), give the person on the receiving end more control over the depth and speed of penetration, making it a great position for beginners.

Lying with your knees pulled up to your chest or resting on your partner’s chest opens up your entire genital area. This fantastic anal sex position allows for easy access and deeper penetration. The penetrating partner can easily stimulate their partner’s vulva or penis and testicles.

Take a seat and get ready for a daring ride! Have the penetrating partner sit in a comfortable chair and you crouch over their penis or dildo. Here you can use the arms of the chair to help you move up and down or sink into them and move back and forth.
Puppy

Another basic anal sex position, doggy is ideal for when you want a more vigorous thrust! If you are on the floor, make sure to put something under your knees to make it more comfortable.

This supported version of doggy relaxes the receiving partner a bit and is easier on the arms and knees. Use a sex position pillow or stack some regular pillows under the receiving partner’s hips and then you can rest your upper body on the bed. Take it to the next level with a sex toy holder that can hold a vibrator or Fleshlight for additional stimulation for the receiving partner.
How to prepare for anal sex
If all of these positions have you excited about trying anal but you’re not sure how to prepare, here are some tips to help you prepare for your first anal experience. Before you even start preparing, remember that you should only try anal sex if you really want to, and make sure it’s with a partner you trust and feel comfortable with.
- start with good anal hygiene! You will want to try to empty your bowels beforehand. Then, if possible, take a shower to stay nice and clean. If you can’t shower, just take a quick bath to feel fresh.
- Some people like to shower before anal sex, but it’s not necessary and doing it too often can be harmful.
- Make sure you have some thick anal lubrication on hand! If you use silicone sex toys, use a water-based lubricant. Otherwise, silicone lubrication lasts much longer.
- Always start with some foreplay. Try massaging your partner’s buttocks, stroking the outside of their anus with a lubricated finger, or enjoying a rimming.
- Always apply a generous amount of lubricant to your anus and whatever is inside it. FYI, that should only be fingers, a penis, or a safe anal sex toy With a flared base!

- When you are ready for penetration, guide your partner’s penis or dildo toward the opening of your anus and slowly push it inward. You can also try to exhale while being penetrated.
- Once you’ve inserted the tip, take some time to adjust to the sensation and then let your partner know when you’re ready for more.
- Don’t forget to reapply lube as needed!
