Mastering The Jockey Sex Position

Final Furlong Sex PositionSpeed Bump Sex Position

The Jockey sex position earns its name because your man ends up resembling a jockey atop a horse while you two have sex. It's one among many fun sex positions worth exploring.

To perform the Jockey, simply lie face down on the bed with your legs straight and pressed together. Your man then straddles you, knees planted on either side of your waist, before entering you vaginally or anally and beginning to thrust. He can lean forward like an actual jockey mid-race, though that's optional — he might also lean back slightly, or lower himself right onto your back so it feels more like spooning.

Her Role In The Jockey Position

If total passivity during sex appeals to you, the Jockey will be right up your alley — it's about as passive as positions get. All that's required is lying there while your man penetrates you. But you can add some activity if you'd like: reach your arms behind you to rub his legs, or bend your knees back so your feet gently press against his butt, helping his thrusts along. Raising your butt slightly with each thrust also intensifies things.

Slip a vibrator between your legs to trigger clitoral orgasms, or grind against a pillow while in this pose. The choice is yours!

His Role In The Jockey Position

Your man carries most of the workload in the Jockey, handling the thrusting throughout. He can also easily shift his entry angle by leaning forward or back, or by moving his whole body forward or backward to reach different spots inside you. Giving him feedback on what feels good is the key to finding the sweet spot — if speaking up is tough for you, check out our tips on communicating about sex.

While upright, your man is also perfectly positioned to massage your back and neck, or, when leaning over you, to kiss your shoulders and neck. Together you can flip through our sensual massage guide for inspiration.

Notes On Trying The Jockey Position

Plenty of Love Curi students have tried the Jockey, or some version of it, with their partners. Here's what they told me:

• The Jockey works equally well for slow, romantic sex and for faster, more passionate encounters.
• It's a strong choice for anal sex. New to it? See our guide on how to have great anal sex.
• If you're performing the Jockey near a wall or something sturdy, press your hands against it and lift your body slightly to push back against your man with every thrust.
• The Jockey suits guys who enjoy being in charge during sex, and women who like their partner on top and in control.
