The Brute Sex Position

Pretzel Sex PositionTug Of Love Sex Position

The Brute sex position puts your man on top and firmly in control, though it leans more toward intense than tender. In some ways, it's the reverse setup of the Amazon position — he's on top instead of you on your back beneath him... well, actually you are on your back, but the roles flip. It's one of the more unconventional entries in our list of great sex positions.

To set it up, lie on your back and draw your knees toward your chest. Your man stands with his back facing you, legs straddling your hips, then squats down to slowly enter you. From there, he simply rises and lowers himself repeatedly.

Both of you need to move carefully into this one. He'll be angling his penis sharply downward to penetrate you, which puts real strain on his suspensory ligaments — this can cause significant discomfort or even injury if you're not careful.

What The Girl Does In The Brute Position

There's not much active work required of you here. Your main job early on is making sure he isn't pressing too hard on your thighs with each thrust — that can get uncomfortable fast if he's on the larger, heavier side. Beyond that, you can gently push him back upward using your thighs, or even brace your feet under his armpits to assist the motion.

Your legs might be pressed too close together for clitoral stimulation in this position, but you can still play with your breasts.

Want to lean further into that submissive feeling? Try adding a blindfold.

What The Guy Does In The Brute Position

Your man needs to move cautiously at first to avoid hurting himself. Since he's angling downward sharply just to enter you, his opening strokes should be slow and gentle. Leaning forward can help take some of the strain off his penis.

Deep penetration isn't really achievable in the Brute position (read more about deep penetration), so he'll want to focus on small, controlled up-and-down thrusts — something that can take some getting used to. This might make it a solid fit for big penis sex.

He may also find it easier to stay mostly still and grind his hips against you rather than thrusting.

Things To Consider When Performing The Brute Position

I wouldn't call the Brute a crowd favorite, but I've heard some useful feedback from students who've given it a shot. Here's what stood out:

• This ranks among the least romantic or intimate positions around — which probably explains the name.
• If your man's into watching porn during sex, the Brute pairs well with that, reinforcing just how impersonal this one can feel.
• He really has to watch how hard he thrusts downward. Go too rough and he risks straining your thigh muscles — and potentially injuring himself in the process.

If I'm planning something soft and romantic with my partner, the Brute isn't making the cut. But when the mood calls for something more dominant and intense, it earns its spot.
