Expanded Daisy Chain: group oral sex lying on your sides in a square

The Expanded Daisy Chain is a group oral sex practice for four people. Everyone lies on their side forming a closed square, each head next to the following person's pelvis, so every participant gives and receives oral sex at the same time. It takes little strength, but it does call for coordination, clear communication and the explicit consent of everyone involved.

Anatomy and biomechanics

All four people lie on their sides on a large bed or a mattress on the floor, bodies slightly bent at the hips. They form a closed chain: person A's head is level with B's pelvis, B's head by C's pelvis, C's by D's and D's by A's. Each person rests their head on the lower thigh of the person in front, tucks the lower arm forward and places the upper hand on that person's hip. The upper leg is lifted or bent forward to give access to the person behind. The rhythm is shared, and the main load falls on the neck, which is turned and flexed to reach the pelvis.

Why this position works

People who enjoy group sex are often drawn to it because nobody is left out: everyone gives and receives at once, and sensation passes from body to body around the square. Since everyone is lying down, it can be kept up for a while without too much fatigue. Some people find the synchronicity exciting; others find it hard to focus on giving and receiving at the same time. Sensations vary from person to person.

Variations of this position

Variation 1: With cushions under the head

Each person rests their head on a small cushion instead of the other's thigh, to ease the neck.

The square and the side-lying position stay the same; a cushion under each head raises the mouth to pelvis level and reduces neck flexion.

  1. Form the square lying on your sides, each head next to the following person's pelvis.
  2. Each person places a small cushion or folded pillow under their head.
  3. Adjust the distance by moving the hips closer or further away until the mouth reaches without stretching the neck.
  4. If anyone needs a break, they say so: the chain can pause without breaking up.

Variation 2: Open chain in a line

The four people still lie on their sides, but in a line rather than a square: the first only gives and the last only receives.

The square is opened at one point. Bodies lie in a row on the bed and the neck usually turns less; in exchange, one person only gives and another only receives.

  1. Lie on your sides in a row, each head next to the following person's pelvis.
  2. The person at the start only gives and the one at the end only receives.
  3. Keep the upper leg bent forward to give access.
  4. Change the order from time to time so everyone takes a turn at the ends.

Variation 3: Upper leg over the shoulder

Each person rests their upper leg on the shoulder of whoever is giving them oral sex, to open access further.

Instead of keeping the upper leg bent in the air, it rests on the shoulder of the person behind. The pelvis opens wider and the leg can relax, but the giver carries a little more weight on the shoulder.

  1. Form the square lying on your sides.
  2. Each person lifts the upper leg and rests it on the shoulder of the person behind.
  3. The giver can steady that thigh with the upper hand.
  4. If the weight bothers the shoulder, go back to bending the leg forward.

✓ Tips
  • Before starting, let each person say what they want and what they don't; everyone's consent is essential and anyone can stop at any time.
  • Use barriers: a condom on the penis and a dental dam (or a cut-open condom) on the vulva, and change them if you switch partners within the group.
  • Choose a wide, firm surface such as a large bed or mattresses on the floor so nobody ends up hanging off the edge.
  • Rest your head on the thigh of the person in front or on a cushion to avoid straining the neck; if it gets tired, stop and stretch.
  • Agree on a simple signal to slow down or stop, since it is hard to talk with your mouth busy.

Frequently asked questions

How many people are needed?

This expanded version is for four people forming a square. The same idea works with three (a triangle), but that is the basic daisy chain.

Why lying on the side rather than sitting or kneeling?

Because lying on the side lets each person's head comfortably reach the next person's pelvis, so everyone can give and receive at once. Sitting or kneeling in a circle does not allow that.

What are the risks?

Oral sex can pass on STIs such as herpes, gonorrhoea, syphilis or HPV, and a group means more contacts. Condoms, dental dams and regular testing reduce the risk.

What if someone's neck gets sore?

They should say so and everyone stops. A cushion under the head or moving the bodies closer usually helps.
