The Acrobat Sex Position

G Spot Sex PositionLaunch Pad Sex Position

The Acrobat sex position is a spin on the Reverse Cowgirl position. It's a fantastic option that leaves you feeling exposed with your man in the driver's seat, all while delivering plenty of G-Spot stimulation. You'll also find positions to stimulate every spot in our Sex Positions Guide with illustrations.

To pull it off, your man lies on his back and you move into something very close to the Full Nelson. That means straddling him while facing away, so he's looking at your back, with your weight on your knees. From there, you lean back onto him while trying to keep your knees planted on the bed.

Keeping your knees down isn't always doable, but give it a shot. Your man can rest his hands on your back and gently lower you into place.

What You Do In The Acrobat Position

Once you're in the Acrobat sex position, you'll be fairly immobile — realistically, there's not much you can do beyond grinding your hips onto your man. Depending on what he's up to, you may need one hand to steady yourself on top of him.

It's a great spot to masturbate yourself during the Acrobat, or to reach your arms back and wrap them around your man.

What Your Guy Does In The Acrobat Position

Your man handles a good chunk of the work in the Acrobat position. His job is to help hold you in place while thrusting up into you from below. He's also perfectly placed to rub your clit or finger you if you're having anal sex, and he can use his hands to gently massage your breasts too. As he thrusts up and down, he'll deliver plenty of direct stimulation to your G-Spot.

If you're after really intense sex in this position, your man can grab your shoulders and pull you down onto him with every thrust.

Tips To Keep In Mind When Trying The Acrobat Position

I've talked with a handful of students who've tried the Acrobat position with their partners, and they've shared some great feedback to help you get the most out of it.

• This position works brilliantly for anal sex with your man. It's also handy because it lets him finger you at the same time.
• Ideally you'd keep your knees on the bed throughout the Acrobat. Most people aren't flexible enough for that, though, and find it uncomfortable, so I'd suggest lifting them as you lean back to stay comfortable and avoid cramping.
• Your man is ideally placed to kiss your neck and back while you're in the Acrobat.

Sean's Take On The Acrobat Sex Position

In my experience, this is a great position for your man to take a lot of control during sex — even though you're technically on top. If you enjoy him being very dominant while you feel exposed and submissive, this one's for you. If you're into it, he can even wrap a hand around your neck for an added sense of dominance.
