Exploring The Right Angle Sex Position

Twister Sex PositionSpooning Sex Position

Whenever I describe the Right Angle sex position, people almost always tell me they've never heard of it. Yet it's simple to perform and doesn't demand the kind of flexibility that some entries in our sex positions guide do — a guide packing more than 100 ideas!

Start by lying on your back with your feet pointed toward the ceiling. Don't stress too much about keeping your legs perfectly straight like in the illustration above. Your man then sits on the bed with legs open, facing you, positioned just below your vagina with his legs extended in front of him on either side of your body. He grabs your legs and pulls you up and toward him before penetrating you.

The Right Angle takes its name from the 90-degree angle your bodies form together.

Her Role In The Right Angle Position

Since you're lying down throughout the Right Angle, movement and activity might feel a bit limited. Don't worry, though — there's still plenty you can do to make it enjoyable for both of you.

The simplest option is holding eye contact with your man as he thrusts into you, which boosts intimacy. You can also grip the legs on either side of you for leverage to gently thrust back against him. One of the neat perks of the Right Angle is that you can use a vibrator to help you reach orgasm during sex. No vibrator yet? Go shopping for one together with your man.

His Role In The Right Angle Position

Your man may also find the Right Angle a bit awkward at first, mainly because thrusting is tricky while seated with legs extended. There are two workarounds:

1. He can slide his hands under your butt, waist, or hips and lift you up and down, or grab your legs to do the same. This makes deep penetration achievable.
2. He can grip your arms and pull you toward him as you grind on him.

He can also play with your breasts, which is great if nipple stimulation brings you to orgasm.

More Tips For The Right Angle

Not many people have tried the Right Angle, but those who have shared some great feedback:

• Don't feel obligated to keep your legs straight — bending them is fine.
• It's a great starting point when you want to try something new in bed, since it's not complicated and doesn't require major stretching or bending.
• The Right Angle suits both anal (read more about the best anal sex positions) and vaginal sex equally well.

Sean's Thoughts On The Right Angle Sex Position

As I mentioned, the Right Angle is easy to perform and feels great. Yet for whatever reason, it's never caught on the way Missionary and Doggy Style have. If you haven't tried it yet, I'd strongly encourage giving it a shot with your man soon.
