Launch Pad Sex Position: How It Works

Acrobat Sex PositionPearly Gates Sex Position

The Launch Pad sex position is a fan favorite among Love Curi readers. It delivers serious pleasure along with that satisfying sensation of your man towering over and dominating you. We’d suggest giving this one a go even if you skip everything else in our Sex Positions Guide!

To move into the Launch Pad position, start on your back with your man penetrating you as he kneels facing you. From there, lift your legs and draw your knees toward your chest, resting your feet against his chest. He can then lean forward over you, which lets you easily raise your hips for really deep penetration. Transitioning into the Launch Pad from something like the Deep Impact is effortless.

Her Role In The Launch Pad Position

Lying on your back in the Launch Pad, it might look like your man is running the show. In reality, you hold most of the control. With your feet planted on his chest, you get to decide how deep and how fast he moves — whether you’re after shallow or deep penetration during sex.

If keeping your feet on his chest isn’t comfortable, you can shift them to either side of him or both to one side, though at that point it starts to resemble the anvil or deckchair positions. Since your hips are slightly lifted in this position, it’s also a great setup for masturbating yourself to help push yourself toward orgasm.

His Role In The Launch Pad Position

For your man, the Launch Pad is pretty simple — mostly just thrusting in and out. But if you’re after a specific spot or that ‘perfect angle’ for G-spot stimulation, he’ll need to shift between leaning close over you and pulling back further until he finds the right angle. You can help steer how far he leans using your feet. Beyond thrusting and adjusting the angle, there’s not much more required of him.

Tips To Keep In Mind For The Launch Pad Position

Plenty of Love Curi students have tried the Launch Pad position with their man, and their feedback has been pretty useful:

• Anal sex works just as well in the Launch Pad position if you follow these preparation tips.
• Make sure the effort is shared — he can thrust forward while you push him back out using your feet.
• Some guys get a bit too enthusiastic and lean so far over that they end up straining your legs or lower back. If that happens, speak up and let him know.
• Not flexible enough to hold the full Launch Pad? Just rest your feet to the side instead of on his chest.
