Trying The Superwoman Sex Position

Irish Garden Sex PositionBook Ends Sex Position

The name Superwoman might make you think you'll need to do a ton of heavy lifting, like an actual superhero. Thankfully that's not the case at all — your man handles most of the effort here. In some ways, Superwoman resembles the Life Raft position. Check out our sex positions list if you're after something different.

To try Superwoman, lie face-down on your bed with your arms resting on the mattress, stretched out ahead of you. While your stomach stays on the bed, your waist should sit right at the edge with your legs hanging off. Your man then enters you from behind while standing and begins thrusting.

Her Role In The Superwoman Position

In this pose, doing much of anything is tricky since you're lying flat on your stomach, legs either in the air, held up by your man, or lightly grazing the floor. If you'd like, use your arms to gently push yourself back onto him as he penetrates you.

You can also try lifting your waist slightly to shift the angle of his penetration — a pillow underneath can help keep it elevated.

His Role In The Superwoman Position

Your man handles the bulk of the work in Superwoman. Obviously, he'll be thrusting in and out, either using just his hips or turning it into more of a full-body motion. For extra force, he can grip your legs and lift them off the ground, or grab you by the waist.

He can also lean forward and rest his hands on your back, or grab your shoulders to pull you toward him. He might even give your hair a light tug (or a firmer one, if that's your preference).

Notes On Trying The Superwoman Position

Plenty of Love Curi students have tried Superwoman with their partners and shared plenty of feedback:

• Superwoman suits anal sex just as well as regular vaginal sex. Learn more about anal sex.
• If your man grabs your legs too firmly, it can irritate your skin (a stretching sensation). Make sure he knows to be gentle — though this could actually work in your favor if rough sex appeals to you.
• Experiment with different angles together until you land on something that feels great for both of you.
• Try some light bondage during Superwoman — your man can bind your wrists together or to the headboard while you're in this pose.

Sean's Thoughts On The Superwoman Sex Position

I personally view Superwoman as a fairly 'middle-of-the-road' position. It's decent but doesn't blow me away. I'd still say give it a shot with your partner, just don't expect the same wow-factor as some other positions.
