How To Perform The Pump Sex Position

Bodyguard Sex PositionBurning Man Sex Position

The Pump is a great sex position built as a variation on Doggy Style. Just as the name implies, your man will be pumping you from behind. It's a favorite pick from our comprehensive list of the best sex positions.

To get into the Pump, position yourself against something like a sofa or chair with your legs slightly bent. Your man enters you from behind while standing. The Pump works nicely for either anal sex or standard vaginal sex. From there, place your arms against the wall in front of you, or brace on your elbows to hold steady and push back against him.

Her Role In The Pump Position

Your man is clearly the one steering things in the Pump, which suits you well if you like him taking charge during sex. Still, you can push back against him for deeper, more forceful penetration, or spread your arms out and lean your upper body into the wall.

By adjusting your angle, bending your knees, and shifting your stance, you'll eventually land on a setup that feels really good. You can also reach behind you to grab your man and pull him in closer.

Sometimes your man might get a bit too enthusiastic while penetrating you here, so speak up if that happens. Our guide to talking about sex can help with that conversation.

His Role In The Pump Position

Your man's job in the Pump is refreshingly simple — mostly just thrusting in and out. But if he's serious about maximizing the pleasure for both of you, he should keep experimenting with how far he pulls you toward him and what entry angle he uses.

He shouldn't neglect his hands either. Wrapping them around your waist while thrusting works well, as does resting them on your shoulders. If dominant-and-submissive dynamics appeal to you both, he could even place a hand around your throat. Just be sure to talk this through with him beforehand.

Notes On Trying The Pump Position

Plenty of people enjoy the Pump because it's simple and highly satisfying. Here's some of the feedback they've shared with me:

• The Pump suits couples who love a man in control and a touch of kinkiness.
• At the same time, it can feel like standing Spooning with your man, which brings a more loving, sensual vibe.
• Your man is perfectly positioned to reach around and stimulate your clit and vulva during the Pump.
