Hunt Game: from behind with one knee on a chair and one leg held up
The Hunt Game is a rear-entry vaginal position that uses a sturdy chair. She kneels with one knee on the seat, facing the backrest and leaning over it, while her other leg is stretched back and held up by her partner, who stands behind her. It calls for balance and some hip flexibility, and offers a playful sense of being "caught" that some couples enjoy.

Anatomy and biomechanics
The receiving partner places one knee on the seat of a stable chair, facing the backrest, with the torso upright or leaning slightly forward and the forearms resting on the top rail. Her other leg is lifted and stretched straight back, roughly horizontal. The penetrating partner stands behind her with feet apart, holds the lifted leg against his hip with one hand and her hip with the other, and sets the pace. There is no eye contact and body contact is partial; penetration depth is medium. The load falls mainly on her supporting knee and on the hip opening of the lifted leg.
Why this position works
Some couples like the playful, slightly theatrical feel of the position and the novelty of using a chair. The open angle of the lifted leg changes the sensation compared with a classic rear entry, and the penetrating partner has a clear hold to guide the rhythm. Because it requires balance, it tends to be used as a short, energetic change of pace rather than a position to stay in for long.
Variations of this position
Variation 1: the lifted leg bent and resting on his hip
The lifted leg is bent at the knee and rests on his hip instead of being stretched straight back.
Bending the knee shortens the lever of the lifted leg, so it needs less hamstring flexibility and he can hold it with one forearm.
- She places one knee on the chair seat, facing the backrest, and rests her forearms on the top rail.
- She lifts the other leg sideways and back, keeping the knee bent.
- He stands behind her and rests her bent leg on his hip, holding it with his forearm.
- He holds her hip with the other hand and enters slowly, keeping a steady rhythm.
Variation 2: the second foot stays on the floor
An easier version: one knee on the seat and the other foot on the floor, without lifting the leg.
With the second foot on the floor she has three points of support, so balance is much easier and he has both hands free for her hips.
- She places one knee on the chair seat and keeps the other foot flat on the floor, slightly behind.
- She leans her forearms on the backrest and tilts her pelvis back.
- He stands behind her and holds her hips with both hands.
- When you feel stable, she can lift the foot a little and he can take the leg to return to the full position.
Variation 3: a sofa instead of a chair
The same position with one knee on the sofa seat and the arms on the sofa back, which is wider and more stable.
A sofa does not tip over and gives a soft, wide surface for the knee and forearms; the height may change, so he may need to bend his knees slightly.
- She kneels with one knee on the sofa seat, facing the backrest, and rests her forearms on it.
- She stretches the other leg back and he holds it at hip height.
- He adjusts his stance, bending his knees if the sofa is low, until the angle is comfortable.
- Start slowly and only increase the pace once you are both steady.
✓ Tips
- Use a heavy, stable chair without wheels, ideally with its back against a wall so it cannot tip or slide.
- Put a folded towel or cushion on the seat to protect the supporting knee.
- Lift the leg only as high as is comfortable: the penetrating partner holds it, he does not pull it up.
- Keep thrusts controlled: if the penis slips out and re-enters at an angle it can bend; slow down when changing rhythm.
- Stop if the knee, hip or lower back hurts, or if either of you feels unsteady.
- Use lubricant if needed and a condom to prevent STIs and pregnancy.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Hunt Game suitable for beginners?
It requires balance on one knee and some hip flexibility, so it is better to try it once you are comfortable with simpler rear-entry positions. Variation 2, with the foot on the floor, is an easier way in.
What kind of chair works best?
A sturdy chair with four legs, no wheels and a solid backrest at a comfortable height for the receiving partner to lean on. Placing it against a wall adds stability.
Who controls the rhythm?
Mainly the standing partner, who holds the lifted leg and the hip. The receiving partner can guide him by pushing back gently or by telling him how she feels.
Can you see each other?
Not really. The receiving partner faces the backrest with her back to her partner, so communication relies on words and touch.
