Leg Glider Sex Position: A Flexible Favorite

Criss Cross Sex PositionTurtle Sex Position

The leg glider counts as a genuinely exotic sex position, and pulling it off properly usually requires a fair amount of flexibility on your part, even though your man doesn’t need much. Find the right position for you and your man in our Sex Positions Guide.

To get into the Leg Glider, lie on one side — let’s say your left. That puts your left leg, left side, and left arm on the bed. Your right leg rests on top of your left, and your right arm can stay against your body or brace on the bed for stability. From there, raise your right leg toward the ceiling while your left stays flat on the bed. With enough flexibility, your right leg should point straight up.

Ideally you want roughly a 90-degree angle between your legs — the right one pointing straight to the ceiling, the left lying flat toward the wall.

Your man then kneels upright, straddling your left leg, and helps support your raised right leg against his chest or shoulder.

Her Role In The Leg Glider Position

Your main job in the Leg Glider is staying steady and holding position without your legs cramping. If cramping starts, tell your man right away so you can stretch it out.

Bending both knees slightly makes the Leg Glider noticeably easier to hold. Warming up beforehand is also a smart move.

Reaching your clit directly can be tricky here, so try grinding against your man instead for clitoral stimulation.

His Role In The Leg Glider Position

At the start, your man needs to focus on your comfort and avoid putting too much pressure on your raised leg. If he’s well hung, he’ll also want to watch that he isn’t penetrating too deeply.

Once you two settle into a good rhythm in the Leg Glider, he can hold the base of your right leg or grip your right arm to pull you closer and penetrate more deeply. He can also lean backward or forward to shift the entry angle (leaning forward calls for extra care so he doesn’t hurt you). Shifting side to side is another option until you both land on the angle that feels best.

Tips To Keep In Mind For The Leg Glider Sex Position

I’ve talked with plenty of students, though only a handful have actually tried the Leg Glider with their man. Those who have shared some useful insights:

• With enough flexibility, your man can push deeper by moving your raised leg further out of the way.
• Stretching beforehand makes this position considerably easier to manage.
• Not especially flexible but still want to try the Leg Glider? Have your man lean backward so you don’t need to stretch your leg as far.
• Your man has more control in this position than you do, so make sure he’s being careful not to hurt you.

Sean’s Take On The Leg Glider Position

I think the Leg Glider makes a nice break from standard positions like Doggy Style, the Anvil, and Missionary. It’s always felt great to me personally, though a few students have mentioned finding it pretty uncomfortable and not enjoyable at all. My advice: give it a shot once, then decide for yourself whether it’s a keeper.
