Forbidden Fruit: oral sex from behind, with the giver lying down

Forbidden Fruit is an oral sex position from behind, with no penetration. The receiving partner kneels with her knees apart, hips raised and chest and head lowered onto her forearms. The giving partner lies on his front behind her, his face level with her buttocks and his hands holding her hips, and uses his mouth on her vulva, her anus or both. It takes little effort and gives easy access from behind, but there is no eye contact and anilingus calls for a few hygiene precautions.

Anatomy and biomechanics

She kneels on the floor or bed with her knees apart, raises her hips and lowers her chest and head, resting them on her folded forearms. He lies on his front behind her, legs stretched out, and raises his upper body a little so his face is level with her buttocks; his hands hold her buttocks and thighs. From there he can reach the vulva and the anus with his mouth and fingers, and he sets the pace. Her knees carry part of the load, and he works his neck to keep his head up. There is no eye contact or kissing; contact is limited to his face and hands on her buttocks.

Why this position works

Some couples like it because the giving partner has easy access to the vulva and the anus without having to hold a tiring position, and the receiving partner can relax her upper body and let go. The view and position from behind can feel exciting or uninhibited for some people. It is not a face-to-face, intimate position, and how it feels varies from person to person.

Variations of this position

Variation 1: she kneels at the edge of the bed

She kneels at the edge of the bed with her hips facing out, and he kneels on the floor behind her instead of lying down.

The height of the bed brings her pelvis level with his face without him having to lift his head, so his neck can rest. In exchange, he takes weight on his knees, ideally on a cushion.

  1. She kneels on the bed with her knees close to the edge and her hips facing out.
  2. She lowers her chest onto her forearms, keeping her hips raised.
  3. He kneels on the floor behind her, with a cushion under his knees.
  4. He holds her hips and adjusts the distance until he can reach comfortably with his mouth.

Variation 2: with a cushion under her chest

She rests her chest and belly on a large cushion or a folded pillow instead of lowering her chest all the way to the floor.

The cushion takes some of the weight of her upper body, so keeping her hips raised takes less effort and her knees and shoulders can rest. Her hips sit slightly lower, and he can rest his chest on a pillow too.

  1. Place a large cushion or a folded pillow in front of her knees.
  2. She kneels and rests her chest and belly on it, keeping her hips raised.
  3. He lies on his front behind her, with a pillow under his own chest if he needs it.
  4. Adjust the height of the cushion until you are both comfortable.

Variation 3: adding clitoral touch

The position stays the same, but he reaches underneath with one hand to stroke her clitoris while using his mouth, or she touches herself.

He holds her hips with one hand and slides the other underneath, between her thighs, to her clitoris; she can also do it herself, resting on one forearm. This combines oral stimulation from behind with clitoral touch from the front.

  1. Get into the base position.
  2. He holds her hips with one hand and slides the other underneath, between her thighs.
  3. He strokes her clitoris while continuing with his mouth, or she uses her own hand.
  4. If mouth or fingers have been on the anus, wash before touching the vulva.

✓ Tips
  • Wash beforehand, especially if anilingus is included, and use a latex barrier (dental dam) over the anus or vulva to reduce the risk of infections.
  • Do not go from the anus to the vulva or the mouth without washing or changing the barrier, to avoid passing on bacteria.
  • Put a cushion or folded blanket under her knees and, if needed, under her chest.
  • He can rest a pillow under his chest so he does not have to hold his head up for long.
  • Communicate and stop if anything is uncomfortable or if her knees or his neck start to hurt.

Frequently asked questions

Is it only for anilingus?

No. From this position the giving partner can reach both the vulva and the anus, so you can choose cunnilingus, anilingus or both.

What precautions does anilingus need?

Wash beforehand, use a dental dam if you want to reduce risks (such as hepatitis A or intestinal infections), and do not move from the anus to the vulva without washing or changing the barrier.

Is it tiring?

Not very. The receiving partner rests on her knees and forearms, and the giving partner lies down. A cushion under her knees and another under his chest make it more comfortable.
