Why Lay Down When You Can Stand Up?
“What are you doing?” Her voice is light, but she’s genuinely curious. You had been about to engage in doggy style sex–her favorite–when you suddenly hopped off the bed. Once she saw that you weren’t simply running to the bathroom, she was naturally curious as to why you got up in the first place.
“Something different,” you say with a grin. After a few gestured, you get her to assume the normal doggy position, this time with her ass facing the edge of the bed. You remain standing while entering her, both of you gasping at the first full thrust. Those gasps turn into mutual moans as your thrusting intensifies. You had thought of standing doggy as a simple way to change things up…what you weren’t prepared for is just how much deeper you can jam your cock inside her cunt at this angle.
She wasn’t prepared, either, and her orgasm is echoing off your bedroom walls in less than a minute. That’s enough to trigger your own explosion, one that is much more intense because of your contracting stomach muscles. Moments later, a single thought pierces the fog of your horny brain with perfect clarity: standing sex is AWESOME, and you can’t wait to try some new positions right away.
Standing Sex Positions And You
What if spicing up your love life was as easy as standing up?
By definition, most sex happens in bed or, at the very least, while both parties are laying down. Therefore, an easy way to add some heat to your usual routine is to try sex standing. It makes for a great change of pace, serves as a great workout, and can even make your orgasms stronger.
However, standing for your favorite sex positions can be more difficult than you might think. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the guide below will walk you through the best positions to maximize pleasure for you and your partner!
The Classic Standing
The classic standing sex position is a go-to for a reason. One partner leans against the wall while the other partner rails them from behind. It’s a great position for those who enjoy making their showers steamier. This is also a solid position for some passionate quickie sex in close quarters (say, the bathroom stall at your favorite club).
The classic standing sex position is great because it’s so versatile. It works well for both vaginal and anal sex, and it provides great access to the receiving partner’s body, allowing for stimulation of their cult or penis. Plus, the position allows for deep penetration, especially if the receiving partner lifts their leg up. As always, just be sure both parties can keep their balance!
Against the Wall
If you’ve watched any erotic films, you’re probably familiar with the Against the Wall sex position. This is when the penetrating partner holds their partner up against the wall for some deeply intimate lovemaking. However, this position requires strength…specifically, the strength to lift their partner’s weight while maintaining balance during thrusting. Fortunately, the wall can help maintain balance, allowing you to focus on some very passionate lovemaking.
And the passion is a big part of why this is such a popular standing position for sex. Being able to pin someone to the wall and look them deeply in their eyes while you lift them in your strong arms? Well, that’s just straight-up hot, and it’s a great way to build intimacy while also enjoying some serious pleasure.
Ballet Dancer
Contrary to what you might think, the Ballet Dancer sex position doesn’t have anything to do with the Black Swan movie. In this position, both partners face each other, and the person being penetrated stands on one leg while wrapping the other around their partner. Needless to say, this fosters major emotional intimacy due to the deep eye contact involved.
Speaking of deep, this position also allows for very deep thrusting. And shifting the exact position of the raised leg can lead to even deeper pleasure. Plus, mastering this position means that you and your partner can have sex in almost any tiny space. Just like that, the two of you will be able to sneak in a quickie wherever you go!
Standing Doggy Style
Some of the standing sex positions are pretty self-explanatory. For example, standing doggy style is exactly what it sounds like. It’s doggy-style sex, but both parties stand up, with the receiving partner bending forward for deep penetration. As with more traditional doggy style, this is a perfect sex position for those interested in anal sex or just very deep vaginal sex.
If you and your partner have very different heights, this position is a great way to compensate for that. And regardless of height, this is a great way for the two of you to have sex in any location. Pools, oceans, or just the laundry room, this is a killer go-to position for spontaneous intercourse!
Over the Bathroom Sink
Some couples are worried about having sex standing because they think they’ll end up off-balance. The solution, then, is a standing position that offers both balance and deep penetration. The Over the Bathroom Sink position involves one partner penetrating another partner who is holding onto the sink for balance.
This is a popular standing position because it allows for having quickie sex before or after a shower. Alternatively, someone feeling frisky can turn a morning routine into a spontaneous bout of passionate sex!
Couch Doggy Style
Couch doggystyle is another position that is pretty self-descriptive. It’s basically a standing doggy variant in which the standing partner penetrates a partner who is on all fours on the couch. This offers all the usual benefits of the rear entry sex position while making your sex life that much more versatile.
In this case, “versatile” means that the two of you don’t have to head to the bedroom when you’re ready to get freaky. You can instead just bone down on the couch, which offers comfort to the receiving partner and a great view to the standing partner. Plus, while this position is great for long and passionate sex, it also works for couples who simply want to sneak in a quickie during the commercial break of their favorite show.
Kitchen Counter Quickie
The Kitchen Counter Quickie is the perfect quickie sex position for those spontaneous moments when you just can’t wait to get to the bedroom. In this setup, the receiving partner sits on the kitchen counter with their legs spread, while the giving partner stands for penetration. Deep penetration in this position enhances pleasure for both partners, and most couples get a naughty thrill out of having sex in such a public and domestic space.
This is also a position that is popular in movies, TV shows, and pornographic videos, so chances are that you or your partner have considered it at least once. When you’re feeling particularly spontaneous, this makes for the perfect way to heat things up in the kitchen without even turning on the oven!
Standing Wheelbarrow
Are you looking for a standing position that requires major coordination, communication, and agility? The Standing Wheelbarrow is a unique and adventurous position that offers unparalleled angles for deep penetration. In this position, the receiving partner starts on their hands and knees, similar to the Downward Dog pose in yoga. The giving partner then lifts the receiving partner’s hips while standing upright, creating a dynamic and thrilling setup.
Needless to say, this position can be challenging but incredibly rewarding. It allows for different angles of penetration, enhancing the overall experience for both partners. Stronger partners may have the receiving partner cross their feet behind the giving partner’s back for added intimacy. And if nothing else, this position will give the penetrating partner a powerful incentive to hit the gym and work on building those muscles!
Standing Oral
Standing oral sex is exactly what it sounds like: the receiving partner stands up while the giving partner orally stimulates them. While there are variants, the most common version of this involves the partner performing oral sex getting on their knees, which allows for straight up hot moments of eye contact.
Plus, if you or your partner are interested in BDSM, this oral sex position is a great way to lightly explore a scenario in which a dominant partner requires their submissive partner to kneel down and begin servicing their master. If this gives both of you a thrill, then be sure to read our articles on BDSM to learn how to bring your fantasies to life in the bedroom.
