Breeze: lying face down at the edge of the bed, entry from behind
Breeze is a rear-entry position at the edge of the bed. She lies flat on her stomach on the mattress, legs straight and together, with her hips right at the edge. He stands on the floor behind her, upright, his body at a right angle to hers, and rests his hands on her buttocks. He sets the rhythm. Penetration can be vaginal or anal and tends to be deep. She simply lies there and relaxes; the effort is his.

Anatomy and biomechanics
She lies face down and flat on the bed, her whole body resting on the mattress, head down, legs straight and together; one calf may lift slightly. Her hips are at the near edge of the bed. He stands on the floor at the edge, behind her hips, upright and vertical, forming a right angle with her horizontal body. His feet carry his weight and his hands rest on her buttocks, guiding the movement. He controls the rhythm and depth; she has little room to move. With her legs together, the entrance feels tighter and penetration can be deep. There is no eye contact and body contact is limited to the hips and his hands. The bed height matters: if it is low, he has to bend his back.
Why this position works
Some couples like it because the receiving partner can relax completely, lying flat on the bed, while the other sets the pace. With her legs together, many people notice a snug feeling, and the angle from behind allows deep penetration, which some find intense and others uncomfortable. It is also an easy position to get into at the end of the bed. It offers little eye or body contact, and how it feels varies from person to person.
Variations of this position
Variation 1: with a cushion under her pelvis
She lies on a firm cushion placed under her pelvis, which raises her hips to his height.
The cushion lifts her hips and tilts her pelvis slightly, so he does not have to bend his back if the bed is low, and the angle of entry changes a little. She stays flat and relaxed. The cushion also leaves room to slip a hand or a small vibrator underneath to add clitoral stimulation.
- Place a firm cushion or a sex wedge at the edge of the bed.
- She lies face down with her pelvis on the cushion and her legs together.
- He stands behind her and checks that both pelvises are at the same height.
- If you wish, she can slip a hand under her pelvis to stimulate her clitoris.
Variation 2: one knee drawn up to the side
She stays face down but draws one knee up to the side on the mattress, opening her hips.
Bending one leg out to the side opens her hips and changes the angle: the entrance is less tight than with the legs together, which some people find more comfortable, especially for anal sex or if deep penetration bothers them. She is still lying flat and he still stands at the edge.
- Get into the basic position, with her face down at the edge of the bed.
- She slides one knee up and out to the side along the mattress.
- He keeps one hand on her buttock and the other on the bent thigh.
- Start with slow, shallow movements and adjust the depth together.
Variation 3: propped up on her forearms
She lifts her chest and rests on her forearms, with her hips still on the edge of the bed.
Resting on her forearms raises her upper body and gives her lower back a gentle arch, which changes the angle of entry and lets her push back a little to take part in the movement. Her abdomen presses less against the mattress. Her hips and legs stay as in the basic position.
- Get into the basic position, with her face down at the edge of the bed.
- She places her elbows under her shoulders and lifts her chest.
- She arches her lower back only as much as is comfortable.
- He keeps the rhythm, and she can push back gently to meet him.
✓ Tips
- Check the height first: her hips should be level with his. If the bed is low, he can bend his knees or she can lie on a firm cushion under her pelvis rather than him rounding his back.
- Thrust in a controlled way: from behind, if the penis slips out and hits the buttocks or the edge of the bed it can bend. If it slips out, guide it back in by hand.
- With her hips against the mattress, the push presses her abdomen into the bed: go slowly at first and stop if she feels discomfort or pain.
- For anal sex, use plenty of lubricant and a condom, prepare beforehand and start very slowly. Never switch from anal to vaginal without changing the condom.
- Since you cannot see each other's faces, keep talking or agree on a signal to slow down or stop.

Frequently asked questions
Is Breeze suitable for beginners?
Yes, for her it is very easy, because she is simply lying down. He needs to find the right height and control his thrusts, so start slowly.
What if the bed is too low or too high?
If it is low, he can bend his knees or she can lie on a firm cushion under her pelvis. If it is too high, he can stand on a stable, non-slip platform. The aim is for both pelvises to be at the same height.
Can it be used for anal sex?
Yes. Use plenty of lubricant and a condom, prepare beforehand and go slowly, because penetration in this position tends to be deep. Stop if there is any pain.
How much closeness is there?
Very little: you cannot see each other's faces, as she faces the mattress and he stays standing behind her. If you want more closeness, he can lean forward and rest his hands beside her shoulders, or you can move to a face-to-face position.
Safety and evidence
Scientific context for common terms used on this page. Keeping these terms makes the content easier to understand; the sources clarify what is established and what remains uncertain.
G-spot: what the evidence says
“G-spot” is a widely used term for a sensitive area of the anterior vaginal wall. Scientific literature has not established a discrete anatomical structure with an agreed location, size and nature; sensitivity and response can vary between individuals.
A-spot / AFE zone: limited evidence
The “A-spot” or AFE zone has been proposed to describe a deeper area of the anterior vaginal wall. Available evidence is limited and does not support presenting it as a confirmed anatomical structure.
