Sex Position of the Month: Fun Between the Cheeks

Anal Sex Positions

For both penis and vulva owners, the anus is an erogenous zone. In a recent survey, about 72% of Americans reported having tried anal play in their lifetime, and 42% reported enjoying it. Even though butt play is seen as a "taboo" form of sex, it's a relatively common sexual activity for people of all gender orientations and sexuality. Anal play is the sexual stimulation of the anus and rectum. Anal play includes stimulation of the anus with fingers, sex toys, mouth or tongue, and penis. It's even possible to have anal orgasms with proper education, communication, and preparation. The pleasure of anal can be experienced in solo and partner play. To ensure that anal sex is pleasurable and comfortable for both partners, sex positioning plays a significant role in the ability to appreciate the joys of anal play. Therefore, Lala will give you the ultimate tips and tricks to enjoying butt play by sharing with you four great sex positions to better help you discover the thrills of anal sex.

Bulldog Sex Position

Bulldog Anal Sex Position

The Bulldog sex position is a position for those who enjoy anal sex but want to try something new regarding anal play. This sex position will make anal sex more intense and dominant because it allows for deeper penetration for rear-entry sex. The Bulldog sex position is similar to doggy style but places the receiver in a submissive role and the penetrator in a dominant role. The Bulldog is a well-loved position for anal sex because the receiver's hips are in a higher elevation than doggy style allowing for the deepest penetration they'll experience. The key to this sex position being pleasurable is the widespread of the receiver's knees while keeping their butt at the right height of the penetrator's groin. The Bulldog sex position is more complicated. It can be hard to hold by the penetrator for an extended period because it can be tiring on the legs.  

How To Best Perform This Position:

The best way to perform the Bulldog sex position is for the receiver to get on their knees and lay their upper body flat on the floor. Depending on comfort and desired level of deep penetration, the receiver can alternatively rest on their elbows. The penetrator positions themselves behind the receiver's buttocks, bringing both feet outside the receiver's legs and placing their hands on the receiver's waist or shoulders to steady themselves for entry. In the Bulldog sex position, the penetrator will do all the work. The penetrator will be in a slightly squatting position; they will line the strap-on dildo or penis up with the receiver's anus and begin thrusting. The receiver can push back onto the dildo or penis to be more pleasurable for both partners.

Tips To Make It Most Enjoyable:

To best enjoy anal play in Bulldog, the penetrator can change the angle and enhance the receiver's pleasure by squatting lower or higher. The penetrator should test different angles to find the receiver's pleasure spot in their anus. Utilizing a pillow or sex wedge under the receiver's pelvis creates a tilt to their core, giving another change in the angle and an added level of comfort. If you and your play partner are into dominant sex, the penetrator should grab the receiver's hair or neck lightly and pull on it while thrusting. Another option to make the sex rougher is for the penetrator to spank the receiver if the receiver enjoys impact play. A firm grasp or pull on the receiver's hips will add sensation to the anal play and drive them wild. Also, the wider the receiver spreads their legs, the deeper the stimulation or by closing their thighs, the tighter the fit in the anus.

Lap Dance Sex Position

Lap Dance Anal Sex Position
