Heaven on Your Feet: oral sex from behind, with the receiver kneeling, chest to the floor

Heaven on Your Feet is an oral sex position without penetration. The receiving partner kneels and rests their chest, cheek and arms on the floor, with the hips held high. The giving partner straddles their back, facing towards their feet, and bends at the waist until the mouth reaches the vulva and anus. It allows cunnilingus and anilingus, but it demands a lot of flexibility from the giver and should be approached with care.

Anatomy and biomechanics

The receiving partner kneels with the knees together and the feet pointing back, and lowers the chest, cheek and forearms to the floor in front of the knees, so the hips become the highest point of the body. The giving partner stands astride the upper back, one foot on each side of the receiver's torso, facing the pelvis. With straight legs, the giver folds almost completely at the waist until the face reaches the buttocks, holding the hips with both hands. The giver's only support is the feet; the hands are used to part and steady. The giver sets the rhythm with the mouth and tongue. There is no eye contact or kissing, and body contact is minimal.

Why this position works

Its main appeal is novelty: the upside-down arrangement and raised hips give very open access to the vulva and anus, and some people find it exciting that the receiver simply relaxes and lets go. It makes it easy to alternate between cunnilingus and anilingus. It works better as a short, playful moment than as a position to hold for long, and sensations vary from person to person.

Variations of this position

Variation 1: Cushion under the chest

The receiver rests the chest on a firm cushion: less strain on the neck while the hips stay raised.

The cushion lifts the receiver's chest and head slightly, so the face is no longer pressed to the floor and breathing and turning the neck are easier. The hips end up a little lower, so the giver has to bend slightly further.

  1. Place a firm cushion on the floor in front of the receiver's knees.
  2. The receiver kneels and rests the chest and forearms on the cushion, with the hips raised.
  3. The giver straddles the receiver's back, facing the feet, and bends at the waist.
  4. Adjust the height of the cushion until neither of you is straining the neck.

Variation 2: Giver with bent knees

The giver bends the knees instead of keeping the legs straight: far less flexibility is needed.

With bent knees, the giver lowers the torso without pulling as hard on the hamstrings and lower back, and the head does not drop as far below the hips. Balance improves, although the thighs work harder. The receiver keeps the same position.

  1. The receiver kneels with chest and arms on the floor and hips raised.
  2. The giver straddles the receiver's back with the feet well apart.
  3. The giver bends the knees as if squatting and leans towards the receiver's hips.
  4. The giver steadies themselves with the hands on the hips and straightens up slowly afterwards.

Variation 3: Receiver with knees apart

The receiver spreads the knees: the pelvis drops slightly and the vulva becomes more accessible.

Opening the knees lowers and opens the receiver's pelvis, which makes it easier for the mouth to reach the vulva and not just the anus. The giver needs to bend slightly less to get there. The position also feels a little more stable for the receiver.

  1. The receiver kneels with the knees hip-width apart or slightly wider.
  2. The receiver rests the chest and forearms on the floor, with the face turned to one side.
  3. The giver straddles the receiver's back and bends down towards the hips.
  4. Adjust how far apart the knees are until you find the angle that is most comfortable for both.

✓ Tips
  • Warm up the back and hamstrings first: the giver needs a lot of flexibility; if it is hard to reach, bend the knees.
  • Use a firm, non-slip surface, and the giver should stop as soon as they feel dizzy from having the head low or lose balance.
  • The receiver can turn the face to one side and put a cushion under the chest to avoid straining the neck.
  • For anilingus, use a dental dam and good hygiene beforehand, and do not move from the anus to the vulva without washing or changing the barrier.
  • Keep it short and come out of the position calmly, starting with the giver.

Frequently asked questions

Is it suitable for beginners?

No. It asks the giver for unusual back and leg flexibility and for keeping the head low. To start with, giving oral sex from behind while kneeling is much easier.

Do we need lubricant?

No, since there is no penetration. A dental dam is a good idea for anilingus to lower the risk of infection.

How can the receiving partner be more comfortable?

With a cushion under the chest, the face turned to one side and the knees on a padded surface. If the neck or back feels strained, it is best to stop.
