The Best Sex Positions for Awesome Anal
Give your ass some extra pleasure
He told me to get on my hands and knees. This was my first time agreeing to try anal and I wasn’t really sure what to do. He had more experience, so I followed his lead.
Kneeling down in the doggy position felt familiar. The cool, thick lube he slathered on my ass didn’t. Neither did the head of his cock pressing against my asshole.
It was all new. I felt a bit of excitement, but mostly just nerves. I tried my best to relax, to just be in the moment and enjoy the feeling of his cock inside me.
It wasn’t great.
There wasn’t much pleasure - not for me anyway. It was tolerable but still uncomfortable. Instead of getting off, I just waited for him to come so it could be over.
As far as first time anal experiences go, it could’ve been a lot worse. But it could’ve also gone so much better.
If I had really wanted him in my ass, it probably would’ve been extremely hot. If he was a more caring and careful guy, it would’ve probably been really fucking arousing.
And if I had been in a different position, it would have probably felt a whole lot better.
Doggy was a very easy position to pull off when I was getting my pussy fucked, but it’s definitely not a beginner anal position.
Neither is missionary. I found that one out the hard way too. When it works, it’s great. I love pulling my legs up and rubbing my pussy while a cock is thrusting into my ass.
But that’s just the thing - it doesn’t always work. I loved it so much that I kept try and trying, but I had way more missionary anal failures than successes. Except for a few rare occasions when the anal sex stars aligned, I had to give up and get in a different position.
And I never even attempted to do anal while being on top. That just seemed like more struggle than I was willing to put up with.
It actually took me a really long time to figure out the positions that worked best. I’m talking years of struggling to have as much anal sex as I wanted, all because I was putting my body in the wrong shape.
Now I’ve finally got it down to three amazing anal positions.
They’re not necessarily the hottest ones to see in porn (that’s missionary anal, in my humble and horny opinion). They’re not the ones that make me feel like an anal sex pro (like I said, I don’t even get on top to get my ass banged). But they’re the ones that are the easiest to pull off, that make anal more comfortable, and that seriously improve my odds of getting incredibly intense orgasms from it.
If you’re new to anal sex or you just want some reliable and pleasurable backdoor fun, these are the positions you should try.
Face Down, Ass Up
I didn’t even bother trying the face down, ass up position until last year. I’d tried getting on my knees for anal before and it made it really tough. I figured this would be the same.
But it wasn’t. Not even close.
Getting in that position made me kind of uncomfortable. It’s a really vulnerable thing to do with someone else in the room Getting on your knees, pressing your face down into the mattress, and pushing your ass up puts you on full display. You’re basically presenting your pussy and asshole to your partner.
Physically, though, it was extremely comfortable. Like, shockingly comfortable. I never had such an easy time taking a cock in my ass.
And it’s because that position will do a lot of the work for you.
To have really comfortable anal sex, you have to be very relaxed. Mentally and emotionally relaxed, sure, but mostly physically relaxed. Specifically, you need to relax your asshole.
You need to learn to bear down so you can open up and take the cock more easily, especially during the initial penetration.
That’s why getting face down, ass up is so perfect. It gives you the perfect pelvic shape, gives your back a great arch, and makes your asshole nice and receptive. It happens almost automatically.
That’s why it feels so different than doggy even though it’s a variant of it.
Doggystyle anal is definitely possible and can be enjoyable, but it takes a lot of physical control. It’s a position that encourages you to clench up, to push your stomach in, and to roll your back instead of arching it. You have to fight all those instincts to make anal sex enjoyable.
When you press your face down, though, you don’t need nearly as much concentration or mental energy. You just have to assume the position, think dirty thoughts, and enjoy the thrill of anticipation.
I think of it as an extremely good starter position. It’s a great way to get past the discomfort of the initial penetration so you can enjoy a really good fuck. When I’m in the mood for a more challenging position, I’ll usually start in this one and then move on to something else once I’ve got things going. It just makes it so much easier.
If you’re self-conscious, you might be hesitant to get in a position that makes you feel so exposed. I completely get it - I used to feel the exact same way. But it’s totally worth it. Not just because you get to turn on your partner by showing off your cute little asshole before letting him fuck it, but because you’ll get so much more pleasure out of it.
Spooning
I was in the doggy position the first time I had anal sex. But I was on my side the first time I had amazing anal.
I was lying in Mr. Austin’s arms, naked and freshly fucked. I was in my happy place. I was his cozy little spoon.
But I also wanted to be his dirty girl.
I started grinding my ass against his cock until he got the picture. I wanted him to fuck it and I wanted it bad.
He rubbed spit on the head of his cock, pressed it against my extremely willing asshole, and slowly pushed it in.
It felt intense and pleasurable. It felt even better when he started thrusting. It was so fucking good that it was over practically as soon as it started. I couldn’t hold back - feeling his cock buried deep into my ass made me come really hard.
It blew my fucking mind. Not just because my climax was so strong, but because I didn’t even know anal orgasms were possible.
But let me tell you, they’re very much possible. And being in the spooning position is one of the reasons it was so easy for me to experience one.
Spooning anal is really comfortable, in part because you can get the angle of penetration just right. You can easily shift your hips, arch your back a bit more, and move around until his cock and your ass are perfectly aligned.
I usually do it while holding my leg up. That’s another way to change the angle, but the real benefit is that it gives both of you very good access to your clit.
Clit stimulation makes the initial penetration so much easier and pleasuring your pussy while getting your ass fucked can give you some mindblowing orgasms.
If you’re spooning, take full advantage of it. Don’t just get him to fuck your ass, rub your pussy at the same time. Or use one of your favorite vibrators while he’s going at it. And if you can take it and really want to experience some double penetration, you can fuck yourself with a dildo and get fully filled up.
My favorite thing, though, is to let my husband do all the work. Feeling his fingers rubbing my clit while he’s pounding my ass is one of the hottest and more satisfying ways I can get fucked.
Prone Bone
Prone bone is my sexual finishing move. It’s how I almost always end sex - unless I get fucked to a showstopping orgasm before I have a chance to get to it.
I lie flat on my stomach, arch my back to give Mr. Austin better access to my pussy, and grind a vibrator while he fucks me.
And it just so happens to be a great position for anal, too.
It’s a bit harder than spooning because you don’t have as much control over the angle. You can only arch and move so much while you’re lying flat. But there are some perks that more than make up for it.
Even though I’m somewhat pinned down, it gives me a bit of control over the depth. I can push my ass up to take him deeper, or I can keep my hips low to take less of his cock.
It also gives him plenty of control. He has plenty of room to adjust and he can go as softly and gently as he needs to. If you trust your partner to have complete control over your ass, it’s a great position.
And best of all, you can add some really good clit stimulation.
True, he can’t really reach over and rub your clit. But you can tuck a vibrator between your legs and grind against it while he fucks you.
That gives you the best of both worlds. You get vibrations against your clit with extra pressure to intensify the stimulation while getting some deep penetration in your ass.
It’s practically guaranteed to make you come really hard.
Get It Real Good
There are other things involved in great anal sex.
Having lots of high-quality, slippery, long-lasting lube is pretty much essential.
Learning how to bear down and get control over your asshole makes a huge difference, too.
Prepping with buttplugs is just plain smart.
And you’re not going to fully enjoy your anal sex experience unless you really, really want it.
But even if you’ve already got all the lube you need and you’re hella horny for some anal action, the right position can still make things so much better.
So lube his cock, arch your back for him, and get ready for some very intense pleasure.
Getting really horny for anal is one of the best ways to get a lot more enjoyment out of it. And the best way to do that is by watching some incredibly hot anal porn.
