The Drill Sex Position

Coital Alignment Technique Sex PositionSea Shell Sex Position

The Drill sex position feels like a hybrid of Missionary and the Coital Alignment Technique — which means it feels amazing while staying genuinely easy to perform. Add it to your rotation alongside any of the other enjoyable sex positions!

The easiest way into the Drill is starting from Missionary — lying on your back with legs open while your man lies on top facing you. In standard Missionary or the CAT position, your legs stay flat on the bed. The Drill changes that: instead of resting them down, lift your legs and wrap them around his waist, crossing your ankles behind his back to lock them in place. That grip lets you actively pull him into you.

What You Do In The Drill Position

The Drill tends to feel noticeably better than standard Missionary, since your clitoris gets more stimulation and penetration runs deeper. The first attempt might feel a little awkward wrapping your legs around him, but don't overthink it — he almost certainly won't mind having your legs there. Most guys love it!

Use your legs to gently draw him in with each thrust. Wrapping them around his butt rather than his waist usually makes pulling him closer easier. For extra intimacy, wrap your arms around his neck or back too.

You can also work in a bit of BDSM flavor here, like scratching or biting his chest, and there's plenty of room for dirty talk. More on how to talk dirty.

What Your Guy Does In The Drill Position

Your man doesn't need any special technique for the Drill — it plays out much like regular Missionary. He can thrust normally, or lean in closer and grind against you for extra clitoral stimulation. While on top, he can support himself on his hands, or lean in closer resting on his elbows. He can also wrap his arms around your back and over your shoulders for even more closeness.

Tips To Keep In Mind When Trying The Drill Sex Position

The Drill is a genuinely popular position among students, and their feedback has been consistently useful:

• Plenty of students worried that squeezing tightly with their legs might hurt their man. In reality, that's very unlikely (barring some rare medical condition). Unless you're an especially strong bodybuilder, you won't hurt him — it'll simply feel like you're holding him close. Squeezing your thighs together this way is known as syntribation and can even trigger a hands-free orgasm!
• If your man is longer than average, penetration in the Drill might go deeper than feels comfortable. If so, try tucking a pillow between your bodies to limit depth. Our tips about big penis sex cover more on this.

Sean's Take On The Drill Position

The Drill works beautifully for pretty much any couple — it automatically ramps up intimacy and stays remarkably simple to perform. It's also one of those positions your man doesn't need to know anything about beforehand, so feel free to surprise him with it next time you're already in Missionary.
