Legs On Shoulder Sex Position Explained

Face To Face Intimate Romantic Sex PositionBulldog Sex Position

In this sex position, your legs rest up on your man’s shoulder, and from the outside it can almost look like he’s playing the cello with your legs. Not your favorite? You’ll find 100 more options in our sex positions guide with illustrations.

To try it, lie on your back and lift your legs so they point toward the ceiling. Your man kneels upright facing you and enters you, then you rest both legs on just one of his shoulders. He wraps one arm around your feet and lower leg, while the other arm goes around your thighs or rests on your stomach.

Her Role In The Legs Up Sex Position

In the legs-up lovemaking position, your man handles nearly all of the movement, leaving you free to simply enjoy it. Since your hands stay free the whole time, you can pleasure yourself manually while he thrusts.

His Role In The Legs Up Sex Position

Your man does nearly all the work in the legs-up position. Holding both your upper and lower legs lets him easily keep you steady or pull you in for deeper, harder thrusts. He can also lean back while gripping your legs firmly, or lean forward, pressing your legs toward you to shift his angle of penetration.

Tips To Keep In Mind For Putting Your Legs On His Shoulder

I’ve talked through this position with a lot of students, and a few takeaways have come out of it:

• This is a great choice if your man wants to take charge and, as one student put it, ‘bang you hard.’
• With your legs held closer together, your man will feel bigger than he would with your legs spread, making this a helpful position for small penis sex.
• When he leans back, it adds pressure to your G-Spot, boosting stimulation significantly. Learn how to have a G-spot vaginal orgasm.
• Some couples describe this position as hot and sexy but not especially intimate, since you’re not particularly close unless he’s leaning right over you.
• Your legs don’t have to stay perfectly straight here — bending your knees takes strain off your hamstrings and backside.

Sean’s Take On The Legs Up Position

I’m a genuine fan of this legs-up-on-the-shoulder position. It’s fantastic for passionate sex with a partner who enjoys hard and deep thrusting during sex along with that slightly exposed feeling it creates.
