Thigh Tide: A Fun Sex Position To Break The Routine

Sybian Sex PositionSitting Sex Position

The Thigh Tide sex position is easy to pull off and genuinely fun. It's a great pick if your usual rotation of positions with your guy has started feeling stale. The Love Curi sex positions guide has 119 different positions with illustrations if you want even more options.

To get started, your man lies on his back with his legs straight and spread slightly. He then raises one knee and plants that foot on the bed. You straddle his bent leg with a knee on either side and sit down on his crotch, facing away from him. From there, use your legs to raise and lower yourself onto him, holding onto his leg to stay steady.

Her Role In The Thigh Tide Position

Thigh Tide feels genuinely different from most positions you've tried. Your legs handle the bulk of the movement, pushing you up and down, while your arms grip his leg to help pull yourself along.

One of the best parts of Thigh Tide is that it lets you bring your clitoris into direct contact with his thigh to stimulate it as you move up and down, giving it a bit of a dry humping quality. Want to shift the angle of penetration? Lean forward toward his knee, or lean back onto his stomach instead.

His Role In The Thigh Tide Position

Your man doesn't have to do much at all in Thigh Tide — he can simply lie back while you do the moving. But he's also free to get more involved.

If he wants, he can thrust up into you as you move. Since one leg stays bent with his foot planted on the bed, that positioning actually gives his thrusts extra force. He can also grip your waist from behind and guide you toward his thigh for more clitoral contact. Anal fingering is easy to work in from this position too.

Notes On Trying The Thigh Tide Position

Plenty of Love Curi readers have given Thigh Tide a try with their partners, and they've shared some genuinely useful takeaways:

• Thigh Tide is remarkably easy to execute — you don't need much flexibility to pull it off.
• Despite how simple it is, most couples have never actually tried it, which makes it a great option when you're craving something new without much difficulty.
• Anal sex works just as smoothly as vaginal sex in this position.

Sean's Thoughts On The Thigh Tide Sex Position

I think of Thigh Tide as something of a hidden gem. Hardly anyone seems to know about it, yet once you and your man give it a shot, it's hard not to love. You might also enjoy trying it facing the opposite direction while still straddling one of his legs.
