The Burning Man Sex Position

Pump Sex PositionDancer Sex Position

The Burning Man sex position takes its name from the fiery, passionate energy you can generate with your man using this move. You'll need either a countertop or table for this one, similar to a few other positions covered in our full guide to the best sex positions.

Face the countertop and lean your torso forward over it while your feet stay planted on the floor. Your man then enters you from behind, either vaginally or anally. With your legs grounded, they act as an anchor, keeping you steady so he can deliver deep, powerful thrusts without you sliding out of position.

What The Girl Does In The Burning Man Position

While in the Burning Man position, your role is fairly passive. If there's a wall in front of you, brace your hands against it and push back into him.

Another way to amp up the passion and closeness is turning to make eye contact with your man as he thrusts. If you're having anal sex with your man, use your hand or hands to masturbate yourself to help you get closer to orgasm.

You can also raise your upper body and lean back against him during the Burning Man, which shifts it closer to the Bodyguard position and adds extra intimacy. With your back pressed against his stomach, he can wrap his arms around your waist and shoulders.

What The Guy Does In The Burning Man Position

Your man handles most of the effort here. If he's new to this position, all he needs to focus on is a steady in-and-out rhythm. He also has the option to grip your waist or shoulders to pull you toward him as he thrusts.

If he enjoys feeling in control during sex, he might grab your hair. Let him know by showing your submissive side.

If instead he wants something slower and more intimate, he can lean forward over your back, creating a feeling similar to spooning you against the counter.

Things To Consider When Performing The Burning Man Position

We've collected some great feedback from students who've tried the Burning Man with their partner. Here are a few of their takeaways:

• Make sure your man doesn't get too rough here. Since you're braced against a counter or table, your body has limited give when he thrusts, which raises the odds of accidental pain from overly forceful thrusting. Speak up if it happens!
• This position lends itself to kinky, spontaneous sex in the kitchen or living room. If you're in a skirt, your man just needs to lift it and slide your panties down. It's a fun change of pace from always heading to the bedroom.
• Your man has full freedom to move around behind you in this position, so encourage him to experiment with different angles until you find your favorite.
