The Chair Riding Sex Position

Praying Mantis Sex PositionStraddle Sex Position

The Chair Riding sex position falls into the exotic category. As the name hints, you'll need two chairs to pull it off. Picking the wrong chairs can make this one pretty uncomfortable, fast. Love Curi covers plenty of prop-free positions too — check out our Sex Positions Guide with illustrations here.

To get set up, grab two chairs and face them toward each other, positioned close enough that they nearly touch. Your man sits in one with his legs spread wide, while you sit in the other with your legs together. You'll be facing one another. From here, slowly move toward his penis as he brings himself toward your vagina.

Lifting your legs tends to make this a lot easier. You might also find it more comfortable to rest your ankles over his shoulders, similar to the setup in the Octopus position. Your man can hold your legs or arms and thrust gently from there.

What The Girl Does In The Chair Riding Position

In the Chair Riding position, your top priority is honestly just finding a comfortable setup. Wooden chairs, in particular, can make this position too awkward to really enjoy.

You can grind gently against him or move your body up and down. Since you'll be slightly hunched forward the whole time, this position actually makes it easy to touch yourself too. Beyond that, options are limited in this one — though dirty talk is always fair game.

What The Guy Does In The Chair Riding Position

Your man's legs stay spread wide in this position, feet either on the ground or resting on the edges of your chair. He'll also want to find a comfortable posture so the chair doesn't dig uncomfortably into his back.

He can thrust by holding your thighs or arms and pulling you gently toward him — just make sure he doesn't pull too hard, or it could hurt. He can also drop a hand down to stimulate your clit, though there's not a ton else he can do here. More clitoral stimulation tips here.

Things To Consider When Performing The Chair Riding Position

I'd call Chair Riding a niche pick that not many students have actually tried, but I've still gathered a bit of feedback. Here's what they shared:

• Chair choice really matters here. Pick the wrong ones, and you're both in for a rough time.
• Some flexibility helps, especially if you plan on hooking your legs over his shoulders. Without it, finding an angle that feels good instead of painful can be tricky. More on avoiding painful sex.
• Even facing each other, the physical limitations mean this one might not deliver much romantic sex.
