Hot Lunch: inverted oral sex with the pelvis lifted to the partner's face

Hot Lunch is an inverted oral sex position with no penetration. The receiving partner is upside down, with the shoulders and upper back on the floor, while the giving partner squats, lifts the receiving partner's pelvis to face level and holds it with both arms around the hips and thighs. The receiving partner's legs pass over the giving partner's shoulders and stretch out behind their back. It allows cunnilingus or anilingus. It is demanding and carries real risk for the neck, so it is only for people with strength, good balance and a lot of trust, and only for short periods.

Anatomy and biomechanics

The receiving partner lies upside down: the shoulders and upper back rest on the floor, the head is tucked, and the pelvis rises to the height of the giving partner's face. The legs, open and fairly straight, go over the giving partner's shoulders and stretch out behind them. The giving partner squats on the feet with the knees deeply bent and the torso upright, wrapping both arms around the receiving partner's hips and thighs to hold the pelvis up, with the face at the genitals. The weight must fall on the receiving partner's shoulders and upper back, never on the neck or head. The giving partner controls everything: height, contact and pace. The effort is high for both: neck and upper back for the person inverted, lower back, thighs and knees for the person squatting.

Why this position works

Some people are drawn to the novelty of the inversion and the feeling of surrender, since the receiving partner is completely held by the other. The giving partner has full access to the vulva or anus and can move the pelvis closer or further away. Being upside down changes body sensations, which some find exciting and others uncomfortable. It is a position for short moments and for couples who enjoy physical challenges; for most people a gentler oral position is more pleasant.

Variations of this position

Variation 1: giving partner kneeling instead of squatting

The giving partner kneels upright instead of squatting, so the receiving partner's pelvis is lifted less high.

With the knees on the floor, the giving partner's legs and lower back work much less and balance is easier. The receiving partner's pelvis is lower and more of the back rests on the floor, so the neck carries less load. It is the safest way to try it.

  1. The receiving partner lies on the back on a soft surface.
  2. The giving partner kneels at their hips and lifts the legs onto their shoulders.
  3. Raise the pelvis only as far as is comfortable, holding the hips with both arms.
  4. Lower slowly when you finish or at any discomfort.

Variation 2: folded blanket under the shoulders

A firm folded blanket under the receiving partner's shoulders, with the head resting on the floor beyond it.

Raising the shoulders slightly relative to the head reduces how much the neck bends during the inversion, a trick borrowed from yoga shoulder stands. The rest of the position stays the same.

  1. Fold a firm blanket into a flat, stable pad.
  2. The receiving partner lies with the shoulders on it and the head just off the edge, on the floor.
  3. The giving partner lifts the pelvis as in the main position.
  4. Keep the head still and come down at any neck discomfort.

Variation 3: ankles crossed behind the giving partner's back

The receiving partner bends the knees over the giving partner's shoulders and crosses the ankles behind their back.

Hooking the legs takes part of the weight off the giving partner's arms and makes the hold more stable, at the cost of a little less freedom of movement for the pelvis.

  1. Get into the inverted position with the legs over the shoulders.
  2. Bend the knees and cross the ankles behind the giving partner's back.
  3. Squeeze gently with the legs to help hold the pelvis.
  4. Uncross the ankles before coming down.

Variation 4: anilingus in the same position

Same inverted position, with oral stimulation focused on the anus instead of the vulva.

The giving partner tilts the receiving partner's pelvis slightly towards themselves to reach the anus. Hygiene beforehand and a barrier such as a dental dam reduce the risk of infections.

  1. Shower beforehand and agree on using a dental dam.
  2. Get into the inverted position as usual.
  3. The giving partner tilts the pelvis a little towards themselves.
  4. Never move from the anus to the vulva without changing the barrier.

✓ Tips
  • Do it on a soft, stable surface, such as a thick rug or a mattress on the floor, never on a bed edge or a hard floor.
  • The weight goes on the shoulders and upper back, never on the neck; the receiving partner should not turn the head while inverted.
  • The giving partner needs strength in the legs and back: lift with the legs, keep the back straight and lower the partner slowly.
  • Keep it short and agree on a signal to come down; stop immediately at any neck pain, dizziness or instability.
  • For oral sex on the anus, or with partners whose STI status you do not know, use a barrier such as a dental dam.
  • Avoid it with neck or back problems, high blood pressure or after eating.

Frequently asked questions

Is it dangerous?

It can be. The neck bears load while inverted and the receiving partner depends entirely on the strength of the other. Do it on a soft surface, for a short time, and stop at any discomfort.

Is there penetration?

No. It is an oral sex position: cunnilingus or anilingus.

Is there an easier way to do it?

Yes. The giving partner can kneel instead of squatting, so the pelvis rises less and the neck carries less load. A classic oral position lying down gives a similar result with much less effort.

Which couples can do it?

Any couple in which one partner has the strength to hold the other: with cunnilingus the receiving partner has a vulva; with anilingus, anyone.
