The Deep Impact Sex Position

Bouncing Spoon Sex PositionPoles Apart Sex Position

The Deep Impact position closely resembles Criss Cross. The name comes from just how deep the penetration can get with your man. It also lends itself naturally to passionate, even rough sex. That said, other positions in our sex positions guide might suit you better if intimacy is the goal.

Lie flat on your back with your legs pointed toward the ceiling (bending them slightly if that's more comfortable). Your man kneels upright facing you, either on the floor below the bed or up on it with you. Rest your legs across his shoulders, one on each side. He then grips your thighs firmly and thrusts into you.

Her Role In The Deep Impact Position

In this position, let your man take the lead — it's built for him to feel dominant and for you to lean into a more submissive role. More on that here. If he's kneeling on the floor while you're at the edge of the bed, grab the bed's edge to pull yourself toward him with each thrust.

He won't be providing much direct clitoral contact in this position, so bring your own hands into play to touch yourself.

His Role In The Deep Impact Position

His job here is refreshingly simple: thrust in and out. That's really it! For more power, he can grip your legs for extra leverage. Leaning forward slightly adds a more dominant feel and changes the angle, while leaning back and lifting your hips off the bed is another option.

If he's kneeling on the bed, adjusting his height is as easy as bringing his knees closer together or spreading them wider.

Notes On Trying The Deep Impact Sex Position

Plenty of students I've spoken with genuinely enjoy the Deep Impact position. Here's some of what they shared:

• Deep Impact is great for rough, passionate sex, but guys can sometimes get carried away, turning it uncomfortable rather than fun. If that happens, speak up. Good sex means both people are enjoying it — not just him having a blast while you grit your teeth through it.
• Deep Impact works just as well for anal sex, including chasing anal orgasms, as it does for vaginal.
• Instead of gripping your legs, he can hold your arms and use them to pull you closer.

Sean's Thoughts On The Deep Impact Position

I genuinely love the Deep Impact position. It's a great contrast to slower, more sensual sex. I wouldn't recommend it every single time, but it's a great outlet when I want to let loose and get a bit more primal with a partner.
