The Speed Bump Sex Position Workout

Jockey Sex PositionFlatiron Sex Position

The Speed Bump sex position falls squarely into Sexercise territory with your man. That's because you'll rely on your core muscles to stay balanced on a fitness ball (also called an exercise ball, gym ball, or a large inflatable rubber ball). Don't have one on hand? Browse over 100 other options in our sexual positions list.

To set this up, you'll need a fitness ball first. Lie stomach-down on top of it, balancing with your hands out in front. If the ball is small enough, plant your feet on the ground behind you for extra stability; otherwise, keep your legs raised and rely on your hands. Your man then enters you from behind, much like in the Life Raft or Superwoman positions, and can hold onto your legs or waist.

Her Role In The Speed Bump Position

In the Speed Bump, most of your energy goes toward staying balanced. A smaller fitness ball makes this simpler, and wedging the ball firmly against a bed or sofa before starting also helps.

If you're near a wall while in this position, pressing your hands against it lets you push back onto your man.

Struggling to balance on your hands? Roll back until most of your weight rests on your feet — it's noticeably easier that way.

His Role In The Speed Bump Position

While sex in the Speed Bump is considerably easier for your man than for you, he should first make sure you're properly balanced on the ball. If you're struggling, he can steady you by placing his hands on your waist.

Once you're reasonably stable, all he needs to do is start thrusting. That's really it! He just needs to avoid thrusting too hard, since that can put excess strain on your hands and arms.

Notes On Trying The Speed Bump Position

Because a fitness ball is required, relatively few women have actually tried the Speed Bump with their partners. Those who have shared some useful feedback:

• Your arms can tire out fast. If that happens, roll back so most of your weight rests on your feet instead.
• Keep your legs together rather than apart for a slightly tighter feel.
• Remember that anal sex works just as easily as vaginal sex in the Speed Bump.
• This position might not appeal to you if you prefer a more intimate style of sex.
• It's also not ideal for morning sex or spontaneous quickies.

Sean's Thoughts On The Speed Bump Sex Position

Personally, I think of the Speed Bump as more of a novelty than a seriously satisfying position. Still, it's fun to give it a shot once or twice with your man.
