How To Try The Sofa Surprise Sex Position

Side Saddle Sex PositionSee Saw Sex Position

The name Sofa Surprise sex position might suggest you need an actual sofa, but you can just as easily do it on an armchair, in bed, or even on the floor. In many ways, it resembles the Asian Cowgirl and a few other girl-on-top poses from our guide to the best sex positions.

To get into the Sofa Surprise position, your man sits down on a sofa as usual. You then squat down onto him from a standing position on the sofa, facing him so he can enter you. Since you'll be squatting fairly low, some flexibility helps, otherwise it can get uncomfortable. On a bed, he should sit against the headboard with a few pillows for support. On the floor, he just needs his back against a wall.

Her Role In The Sofa Surprise Position

In the Sofa Surprise position, your main movement is rising and lowering yourself using your legs. That movement tends to tire you out fairly quickly. Wrapping your arms around the back of your man's neck can help you lift yourself.

If you need a break, simply sit fully down on his lap while he's inside you and grind by rocking your hips forward and backward.

This position works beautifully for passionate kissing.

Some women feel a bit self-conscious being on top. If that's you, check out these tips.

His Role In The Sofa Surprise Position

Your man can stay fairly passive here and let you do the work, but you'll tire out fast if that's the whole plan. He can help by cupping your butt to assist with lifting, or gripping your waist (though a tight grip might feel a bit uncomfortable for you).

If you're sitting fully down and grinding on him, he can grab hold beneath your shoulders and pull you downward for more contact and friction.

He can also pull your hair to add some roughness if that's your thing.

Sean's Take On The Sofa Surprise Sex Position

The Sofa Surprise isn't the easiest position to pull off with your man. It takes solid leg flexibility and a bit of strength to keep lifting yourself up and down. Give it a try yourself before deciding if it's a keeper.
