Strap-on Sex Positions for Beginners
Rodeo Rider
You might know this as the Cow Girl position but we’ve gone for a more neutral name. Whatever you call it, this position is fantastic for a strap-on first-timer.
Riding positions puts the receiving partner in control of the depth and speed of penetration. This means the strap-on-wearing partner doesn’t have to think too much about thrusting, which can be tricky at first. Not to mention, thrusting can be pretty tiring when you aren’t used to it!
The strap-on-wearing partner can also reach up and stimulate their partner’s penis or clitoris with their hands.
Spooning Strap-On Position
The classic spooning position also works wonderfully with a strap-on and doesn’t require you to be a pro thruster. This intimate position is perfect for cozy, sensual strap-on sex.
The strap-on-wearing partner can reach around to stimulate their partner’s nipples, clitoris, or penis, or simply wrap their arms around them.
Modified Missionary
Experience missionary sex from a whole new angle with some strap-on role reversal! The strap-on wearer is on top and in control while the receiving partner lies on their back.
Add a pillow under the receiving partner’s hips or adjust the position of their legs to find the perfect angle.
This is a great position for getting hands-on with each other! The receiving partner can lightly scratch their partner’s back, run their fingers through their hair, or even give their butt a good grab!
More Adventurous Strap-On Positions
Once you’ve mastered the basics and become one with your strap-on, you’re ready to move on to some more advanced positions that require a little more in the thrusting department. With a bit of practice, it will feel like second nature!
Strap-on Doggy
With your partner on all fours, slowly enter them from behind.
You might need to adjust the angle to find what works for you, so communication is key.
The penetrating partner can hold their partner’s hips to help them balance and coordinate the movements.
If you have a curved dildo, like these pegging dildos, have the curve pointing down instead of up to target your partner’s g- or p-spot.
Supported Strap-On Doggy
This more relaxed version of the doggy style also alters the angle of penetration for some new sensations.
Assume the classic doggy position, but have the receiving partner rest their upper body onto a sex position pillow.
A couple of regular pillows stacked on top of each other will also do the trick.
If the receiving partner is a vulva owner who also enjoys anal play, their partner can massage their anus or add in a butt plug or some anal beads for some extra fun.
Reverse Rodeo
Also known as the reverse cowgirl, in this position, the rider faces toward their partner’s feet.
The riding partner can hold onto their partner’s legs for stability or use a free hand to stimulate their clitoris or penis.
The strap-on-wearing partner can use their free hands to massage their partner’s legs or butt.
G Whizz / P Whizz
This more advanced position is perfect for targeting your partner’s p-spot if they are a penis owner or g-spot (internal clitoral structure) if they have a vulva.
Hitting these highly sensitive sweet spots can lead to some seriously strong orgasms, so it’s worth the effort!
Use a sex pillow or some regular pillows to elevate the receiving partner’s hips.
Backdoor Bliss Strap-On Position
This position is perfect for exploring anal play with a strap-on. The receiving partner lies on their front, allowing them to relax into the position. The receiving partner straddles them and enter’s them slowly from behind.
Remember that the anus isn’t self-lubricating, so apply a lot of thick water-based lubrication and reapply as necessary!
