How to do the Rear Entry Sex Position

1. Partner B positions themselves face down on a comfortable surface, resting on their stomach with legs slightly parted and hips tilted gently upward.
2. Partner A kneels or lies behind partner B, aligning their body so that entry from the rear is natural and unforced.
3. Using generous lubrication, partner A slowly guides penetration from behind, allowing partner B to adjust to the angle and depth at their own pace.
4. Partner A can support their weight on their arms or forearms alongside partner B’s torso, maintaining closeness while controlling movement.
5. Both partners communicate throughout, establishing a rhythm that feels euphoric and comfortable, with partner B providing feedback on angle and pressure.

Health and wellness benefits

• Enhanced pelvic floor engagement: The positioning naturally encourages partner B to engage their pelvic floor muscles, which over time can strengthen this important muscle group and support better core stability.
• Deep physical pleasure and stress relief: The unique angle of backside penetration stimulates sensitive nerve endings that are often underexplored, promoting the release of endorphins and oxytocin that reduce stress and elevate mood.
• Building trust and emotional vulnerability: This position requires open communication and mutual trust, which can deepen emotional bonds between partners and foster a greater sense of safety within the relationship.

Variations

Elevated Hips

Partner B places a firm pillow or wedge beneath their hips to raise the pelvis, shifting the angle of penetration for heightened sensation and more comfortable alignment.

Spread Support

Partner B widens their legs further apart while partner A positions themselves between them, allowing shallower entry and giving both partners more control over depth and pace.

Close Body Contact

Partner A lies fully along partner B’s back with their chest pressed gently against partner B’s shoulders, maximizing skin-to-skin contact and creating a deeply intimate, connected variation.

Comfort and safety tips

• Lubrication is essential: Because this position involves backside penetration, using a high-quality lubricant generously and reapplying as needed is critical for comfort, safety, and preventing discomfort or tissue irritation.
• Adapt for different body types: Couples with differing heights or body proportions can use pillows, folded blankets, or a wedge cushion under partner B’s hips to create better alignment and reduce strain on joints and lower backs.
• Start slowly and communicate constantly: Partner B should guide the pace entirely at first, and both partners should establish a clear signal to pause or stop, ensuring the experience remains pleasurable and pressure-free throughout.
