Deep Adoration: rear entry with her kneeling on the table
Deep Adoration is a rear-entry position that uses a table to bring both pelvises to the same height. She kneels on the table near the edge, hips raised, with her chest, head and arms stretched forward on the tabletop. He stands on the floor right behind her and sets the rhythm. It is comfortable for both, allows deep penetration and leaves room to stimulate her clitoris by hand.
Also known as: Worship · Doggy style on the table
Anatomy and biomechanics
She kneels on a sturdy table with her knees at the edge, hips raised and back lowered, and her chest, head and arms stretched forward on the tabletop; her lower legs and feet hang slightly over the edge. Her weight rests on her knees, chest and forearms, so she makes very little effort. He stands upright on the floor directly behind her, with his feet apart and his hands on her lower back and buttocks. The table puts her pelvis at the height of his, so he does not need to bend his knees. He controls the rhythm, and penetration, vaginal or anal, can be deep. Her clitoris can be stimulated by hand, by her or by him reaching around. There is no eye contact or kissing, and body contact is limited to the pelvis and hands. The main load falls on her knees against the hard surface.
Why this position works
Some couples like it because it is comfortable and stable: she rests on the table and he stands without bending, at just the right height. Penetration from behind can be deep, and some women find this angle stimulating, especially if the clitoris is touched at the same time. The sense of surrender and the setting outside the bedroom add to the appeal for some people. How it feels varies from person to person.
Variations of this position
Variation 1: she raises her chest onto her forearms
Instead of resting her chest on the table, she props herself up on her forearms, with her back more horizontal.
Raising her chest lowers her hips slightly and tilts her pelvis less, so penetration is usually shallower. She has a bit more control and can move her hips back and forth; her forearms carry more weight.
- Start from the base position, with her kneeling at the edge of the table.
- She rests her forearms on the tabletop and lifts her chest.
- She keeps her back straight, without letting her lower back sag.
- He adjusts his stance, as her hips are now slightly lower.
Variation 2: knees wider apart, hips lower
She spreads her knees wider on the table, which lowers her hips a few centimetres.
Opening her knees lowers her pelvis and brings it closer to his; it helps when the table is a little high for him. Her base of support is wider and more stable, and the load on her knees is better spread.
- Start from the base position.
- She moves her knees apart on the blanket, keeping them at the edge.
- She lowers her hips until they are level with his.
- He moves closer and you build the rhythm up gradually.
Variation 3: he moves his hips in circles
The same position, but he swaps thrusting back and forth for slow circular movements of his hips.
Circles keep him inside without pulling in and out, which changes the pressure on the walls of the vagina or anus and lowers the risk of the penis slipping out and bending. Some people find it more intense, others gentler.
- Start from the base position, once penetration feels comfortable.
- He stays inside and holds her hips with both hands.
- He draws slow circles with his pelvis without pulling out.
- Alternate circles and thrusts depending on what she enjoys.
Variation 4: he stays still and she sets the pace
He stays still on his feet and she does the moving, rocking her hips back and forth on the table.
When she moves, she decides the depth, angle and speed, which helps if deep penetration feels intense. She puts more weight on her forearms so she can rock; he only needs to stand firm and hold her hips gently.
- Start from the base position.
- She rests on her forearms to give herself room to move.
- He stays still, feet firmly planted and hands on her hips.
- She rocks back and forth at her own pace.
Variation 5: with a vibrator on the clitoris
She, or he by reaching around her, holds a small vibrator on her clitoris during penetration.
The position stays the same; the vibrator replaces the fingers. With her chest on the table, she can easily slip a hand under her body. Many women find that clitoral stimulation makes orgasm easier in rear-entry positions.
- Keep a small, clean, charged vibrator within reach.
- She slips a hand under her body and places it on her clitoris; or he holds it if she prefers.
- Start on a low setting and increase it gradually.
- Wash the toy afterwards, and never move it from the anus to the vulva without cleaning it.
✓ Tips
- Check that the table is sturdy, does not wobble and can bear her weight before you start.
- Put a folded blanket or cushion under her knees: the table is hard.
- Adjust the height: if her pelvis is too high or too low for him, he can use a firm step, or you can try a lower or higher table.
- From behind, penetration can be deep: start slowly and don't thrust hard if the penis might slip out, to avoid bending it.
- She or he can stimulate her clitoris by hand; it makes the position more pleasurable for many women.
- For anal sex, use plenty of lubricant and a condom, and go slowly. A condom also protects against STIs in vaginal sex.
- Stop if there is pain or her knees become uncomfortable.

Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes, as long as you have a sturdy table at the right height. The effort and balance required are low for both of you.
Is it very deep?
It can be. She can control it by lowering her hips slightly or asking him to slow down; variation 1 makes it shallower.
What precautions should we take for anal sex?
Use plenty of lubricant and a condom, prepare first, enter slowly and keep thrusts gentle. Stop if there is pain.
What if the table is too high or too low?
If it is too high, he can stand on a firm, non-slip step; if it is too low, she can kneel on a firm cushion. Avoid anything that slides.
