Sea Shell Sex Position

{{AUTHOR}}

For those of you who are the most adventurous and athletic in the bedroom, the Sea Shell position might be right up your alley. With your body bent in half, you’ll resemble a clamshell and be able to get deep penetration during intercourse or anal sex.

The Sea Shell sex position starts with you on your back. Bring your knees and feet towards your head and bend your legs. Grab your feet and gently pull them down towards your head. This will help to “fold” you in the Sea Shell position.

If it’s hard to get into this position, focus on moving one foot toward your head at a time or ask your partner to help you. While this position requires some flexibility, make sure not to put too much strain on yourself, as this may result in injury!

Then, the penetrating partner kneels in front of you for either vaginal penetration or anal sex.

What The Receiver Does In The Sea Shell Position

As the receiver, your job is to hold your legs in place because the position is quite restrictive. Experiment with how you place and bend your limbs to get as comfortable as possible.

While you can’t do much in this sex position, you can try dirty talking to make things hotter. That is, unless your mouth is gagged!

What The Penetrating Partner Does In The Sea Shell Position

While the receiving partner focuses on contorting their body, the penetrating partner’s job is all about thrusting. They can use their hands to grab your hips or butt for leverage or to change the angle. Lifting your hips enough will let your partner spank you.

Additionally, because your vulva is so exposed in the Sea Shell position, it’s usually possible for the penetrating partner to stimulate your clitoris in the Sea Shell position or even finger you if you are having anal sex.

How To Enhance The Sea Shell Position

Position Pillow – Placing a pillow under your hips/butt can raise them to make it easier to get–and keep–your legs in place. A microfiber pillow or one specifically made for sex will better support your weight than a standard feather pillow.

Restraints – Using restraints might help you stay in position, especially if your arms aren’t quite long enough to hold your feet in place. You can connect your wrists and ankles with two pairs of cuffs or find a set that has connections for all four. A spreader bar with wrist connections is another option. Consider tying your wrists and ankles to the headboard if you have one.

Cock Ring – Because the Sea Shell position doesn’t necessarily make it easy to stimulate your clitoris, a vibrating cock ring comes in handy. Learn how to use a cock ring and how to use a vibrator.

Variations of Sea Shell & Similar Positions

Several positions are similar to the Sea Shell position.

Viennese Oyster Position

The Viennese Oyster is a similar sex position to the Sea Shell position. The main difference is that your partner will be holding onto your legs or feet as they lean over you, which changes the position of your legs. This variation may be easier based on flexibility and body shape and size but can be less flexible if your partner can’t hold onto you comfortably.

Your hands will also be free to touch yourself or your partner.

Anvil Sex Position

This sex position can be less physically tricky than the Sea Shell sex position but still offers deep penetration. Instead of holding onto the back of your ankles, you’ll keep them pressed against your partner’s chest or shoulders as they lean over you.

The further your partner leans down, the closer your legs will move to your body. You can bend your knees to take some of the pressure off.

Launch Pad Position

In the Launch Pad sex position, you’ll be on your back and raise your legs with your knees bent so that you can place your feet against your partner’s chest as they penetrate you. This position gives you way more control than the Sea Shell position. Your partner can lift your butt and hips to change the angle of penetration. Try moving your feet higher or spreading them outward for comfort and to find the most pleasurable position.

Spread Legs Sex Position

Rather than pulling your legs back like in the Sea Shell position, the Spread Legs position requires you to keep them straight in a V around your partner’s waist. Although the Spread Legs Position doesn’t require you to contort yourself, holding your legs out for a long time can be tiring. However, this might be a great finishing move when one or both of you are almost there.

Sean’s Thoughts On The Sea Shell Sex Position

This exotic sex position is as unique as it is difficult. It will be flat-out impossible for many based on their body shape and size and how flexible they are. These plus size sex positions should be helpful in that case.

Even if you do get into it, you might find it hard or uncomfortable to stay in it for long. However, it’s worth trying if you want to switch things up in the bedroom.
