Final Furlong Sex Position: A Quick Guide

Stairway To Heaven Sex PositionJockey Sex Position

The Final Furlong is a fun twist on Doggy Style. It's easy to pull off and doesn't demand much exertion. It also brings you closer together than standard Doggy Style. The name comes from the fact that you both end up looking like jockeys riding a horse. Naturally, there are well over 100 positions worth exploring in our guide to sex positions.

The trickiest part of trying the Final Furlong with your partner is tracking down the right piece of furniture! That's because you'll both need to sit in the exact same posture. Ideally, you'd have a footstool or a broad bench that fits you both. Both of you sit down and straddle the stool or footrest, facing the same way.

Your guy positions himself behind you. Lean forward a little so he can slide in easily. Once he's inside, he can pull you in close the way he would in Spoons and begin moving.

Her Role In The Final Furlong Position

The Final Furlong doesn't ask for much physical work, which is what makes it great for a slow, sensual encounter. Learn more about slow sex. For extra closeness, lean back into your man and wrap your arms softly around his head or torso.

If it feels good, push back against him for deeper thrusts. Beyond that, your job is simply to relax and enjoy the sensation.

His Role In The Final Furlong Position

Your guy carries more of the workload in this pose. He'll be the one driving the thrusting motion. It'll be easier for him if he lifts slightly off the stool or footrest while doing so. To assist with the in-and-out motion, he should wrap his arms around you — either at your waist or up under your arms toward your shoulders. He can also reach around to cup your breasts for some added nipple stimulation while you're in this position.

The Final Furlong works equally well for both anal and vaginal sex.

Points To Keep In Mind With The Final Furlong Position

I've chatted with plenty of students about the Final Furlong and gathered quite a lot of their feedback. Here's what they told me:

• Despite its name sounding like a workout, the Final Furlong is a wonderful choice if you want slow, sensual sex without needing flexibility or muscle.
• It pairs beautifully when your man switches from a straightforward in-and-out rhythm to grinding his hips in a "figure 8" pattern inside you.
• The Final Furlong also suits couples who like incorporating a vibrator during sex.

Sean's Take On The Final Furlong Sex Position

I'm genuinely fond of the Final Furlong since it suits both relaxed, natural sex and more primal encounters. When I'm craving something more intense, my partner can lean forward while I stay mostly upright. That gives me better leverage by gripping her waist or shoulders. Guys can also grab a handful of hair in this position.
