Frog Position: both partners squatting, entry from behind
The Frog Position is a rear-entry position in which both partners squat, one behind the other, like two frogs. She leans forward with her hands on the floor between her feet; he squats behind her, steadying himself with one hand on the floor and the other on her hip. Both can move: he thrusts from his hips and she can bounce up and down from her squat. It is physically demanding and playful, with medium-depth penetration, usually vaginal and sometimes anal.

Anatomy and biomechanics
She squats on the floor or on a firm mattress, feet flat, knees bent and apart, and leans her torso forward with both hands on the floor between her feet. He squats right behind her, facing her back, with his knees apart around her hips. He rests one hand on the floor behind him for balance and places the other on her hip. Penetration is from behind and below, at medium depth, usually vaginal; anal penetration is also possible with plenty of lubricant. The rhythm is shared: he moves his pelvis and she can rise and lower slightly from her squat. There is no eye contact or kissing, and body contact is limited to the pelvis and hips. The knees, wrists and hips of both partners carry the load of the deep squat.
Why this position works
Some couples enjoy its playful, energetic feel and the fact that both can take part in the movement. With her torso tilted forward, some people find the angle presses pleasantly on the front wall of the vagina. It works well as a short, intense moment within a session rather than a position to hold for a long time. Sensations vary from person to person.
Variations of this position
Variation 1: he kneels instead of squatting
She stays in her squat with her hands on the floor, and he rests his knees on the floor or mattress behind her.
By kneeling, he gains stability and takes the load off his thighs and ankles, and he can use both hands to hold her hips. His pelvis ends up slightly higher, so she may need to raise her hips a little to adjust the angle.
- She squats and leans her torso forward with her hands on the floor between her feet.
- He kneels behind her, knees apart on either side of her hips.
- Adjust the height: she raises or lowers her hips a little until the angle feels comfortable.
- He holds her hips with both hands and moves with short thrusts.
Variation 2: her hands on a firm cushion or a low stool
She rests her hands on a firm cushion or a low stool in front of her feet instead of on the floor.
With her hands higher, her torso leans forward less and her wrists bend less, which eases the load on them. The angle of the pelvis changes slightly and penetration usually feels a little shallower.
- Place a firm cushion or a low, stable stool in front of her.
- She squats and rests her hands on it.
- He squats behind her, one hand on the floor and the other on her hip.
- Try short movements until you find the most comfortable angle.
Variation 3: she sets the pace, rising and lowering
He stays still in his squat and she moves, rising and lowering her hips from her squat.
The position is the same, but the movement passes to her: she controls depth and speed with her thighs, which is useful at the start or for anal penetration. He only has to keep his balance, with one hand on the floor and the other on her hip.
- Get into the base position, both squatting.
- He stops thrusting and stays steady.
- She slowly rises and lowers her hips, supporting herself on her hands.
- She decides the depth; he follows with his hand on her hip.
✓ Tips
- Do it on a firm, non-slip surface: a rug or a firm mattress helps keep the feet steady.
- Deep squats tire the knees, thighs and wrists; hold it for short periods and change position when the legs start to burn.
- He can steady himself with one hand on the floor; if he loses balance, he can drop to his knees (variation 1).
- Move with short, controlled thrusts: if the penis slips out and re-enters at an angle it can bend painfully.
- For anal penetration, use plenty of lubricant, go slowly and use a condom.
- Use a condom for protection against STIs, and stop if there is pain in the knees, wrists, hips or penis.

Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for beginners?
It is not the easiest: both have to hold a deep squat. Try it for short moments and start with the version in which he kneels behind her.
Is it the same as doggy style?
No. In doggy style she is on all fours with her knees on the bed; here both partners squat with their feet on the floor, which changes the angle and makes it more demanding.
Can it be used for anal sex?
Yes, with plenty of lubricant, a condom and a slow start. It is best if she controls the depth by lowering herself at her own pace.
What if our knees or wrists hurt?
Shorten the time, place a firm cushion under her hands, or switch to the version in which he kneels. If the pain persists, change 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.
