Anal sex positions are the positions partners take during anal intercourse. In fact there can be a huge variety of anal sex positions due to the fact that anal sex practices can differ as well. If an anal sex scene does not presuppose penile-anal penetration, but implies fingering, use of anal sex toys, performance of oral anus stimulation, etc., the list of anal sex positions becomes even longer. But even in other cases, the diversity of possible anal sex positions is impressive and provides for sitting, standing, lying and even hanging anal sex positions (as in suspension practices or bondage of bdsm anal sex). At that, both partners can be giving and receiving regardless of their gender and sexual orientation, for example, a woman can penetrate her partner with a strap-on dildo or some toy.
The most popular anal sex positions are as follows.
- Missionary anal sex position. This one is possible not only during vaginal, but also anal sex. When practicing this position, the receiver lies on their back with legs spread or knees drawn to the chest. Such position allows both the top and the bottom partners control the depth, pace and intensity of movements as well as establish eye contact which is important for many people during sex. In the missionary anal sex position it is easy to relax, so it is especially popular with the beginners exploring the advantages of different anal sex positions. As a variation, the receiving partner can put their legs onto the insertive partner's shoulders, while they continue caressing each other's erogenous zones or watching the penis penetrating.
- Doggy-style. This anal sex position is another adaptation from vaginal entry and here the receiving partner stands on all fours, legs slightly spread, and the penetrating person approaches him/her from behind. The penetrator can also bend over the receiver, who in their turn may lower the torso or lie down flat. The former can also lift the latter's legs in the air. The depth of penetration during this anal sex position is at maximum, and for men, it stimulates the prostate best of all, but at the same time it increases the risk of hurting the receptive, so anal sex safety recommendations should be considered.
- Spoon anal sex position. While the partners lie on their sides here, their hands are free to stimulate other erogenous zones, such as nipples, clitoris for women or scrotum and the penis if the receiver is a man. Contracting the anus will intensify the sensations manifold, too.
- Anal Drop. In this anal sex position the receiver is on top of the giver, setting the pace and rhythm of penetration and controlling the whole scene. Women would enjoy double penetration with fingers or toys stimulating the vagina (shocker), and they can also masturbate in this anal sex position.
The above are probably most widely practiced anal sex positions, however, the list is far from full. The positions can differ by names, depend on the age of participants and their experience (see the articles on mature anal sex and teen anal sex) and their physical fitness, roughness of practice (extreme/hardcore anal sex) and simply be chosen in accordance with personal preferences of the practitioners.
