Whether you’ve tried anal sex before or it’s totally new to you, odds are that the first position that comes to mind is doggystyle. But TBH? There are so many fun and dynamic ways to try anal sex. You don’t always have to go at it from behind!

So for this week’s newsletter, we tapped the likes of certified sex therapist Aliyah Moore, Ph.D. to break down all the ways you can do anal. Read on for the positions we think you should try!

The Spoon 🥄

Have the receiver lie on their side and bend their knee. The giver should lie down behind their partner, with their upper leg alongside. Lubricate the penis and slowly begin penetrating from the anus. This position can be comfortable for both partners, since the recipient has control over how much depth they can take from the giver's penis. 

The Rider 🏇

If you love eye contact, this one’s for you! The giver should lie on a pillow, like in a normal sleeping position. The receiver stands over the giver with their feet on either side of the giver’s torso. Then, the receiver would squat gently on the giver’s erect penis, resting their hands on their partner’s chest for support if needed. 

The Backwards Cowgirl 🤠

The giver should sit on the bed with their back straight. Slightly spread your legs apart. Have the receiver kneel, positioning their knees on both sides of your thighs. Then, slowly have them move backward. Let the receiver take control as they lower to your lubricated penis. The giver will support their partner using their knees, where they could then proceed with a slow back-and-forth motion.

The Eiffel Tower 🥐

The giver should stand behind their partner, putting the groin area near the butt. Have the receiver bend forward where the giver positions both of their legs beside the receiver. Then, let the receiver touch the floor, bending forward using their hands. (The receiver could use a chair as support instead if they can’t reach the ground.) The giver would penetrate their partner gently with their hands on the receiver’s hips.

You got all these down? Great. We can’t wait to hear which ones you try.
