Punishment: rear entry with her over an exercise ball

Punishment is an athletic rear-entry position that uses an exercise ball. The receiving partner lies face down over the ball, which supports her abdomen and pelvis, with her hands on the floor in front and her legs stretched back and apart, toes on the floor, like a plank. The penetrating partner stands behind and above her, straddling her legs, with his hands on her lower back, and sets the pace. Penetration is vaginal and deep. It takes strength in her arms and good balance from both, so it suits fit couples and short sessions.

Anatomy and biomechanics

The receiving partner places her abdomen and pelvis over an exercise ball and walks her hands forward until they are flat on the floor, arms straight under her shoulders. Her legs are stretched back and apart, with the tips of her toes on the floor, so her body forms an inclined plank over the ball. The penetrating partner stands behind her, feet on the floor on either side of her legs, and bends slightly at the knees to bring his pelvis to the height of hers. He rests his hands on her lower back, which also helps to keep the ball still, and controls rhythm and depth. Her wrists and shoulders hold up her torso, and the ball presses on her abdomen. There is no eye contact and little body contact.

Why this position works

Some couples are drawn to its intensity: the penetrating partner stands over her and leads the movement, which some people experience as a playful power dynamic. The plank position tilts the pelvis and allows deep penetration from behind. The ball gives a little with each stroke, adding a rocking motion. It is also a physical challenge, which some couples find exciting. Sensations vary from person to person.

Variations of this position

Variation 1: her knees resting on the floor

The receiving partner bends her legs and rests her knees on the floor behind the ball, instead of balancing on her toes.

With the knees down, her body is no longer a plank: much less effort for her arms and core, and the ball rolls less. He may need to kneel or bend his knees more to match her height.

  1. Place a cushion or mat behind the ball for her knees.
  2. She lies over the ball, hands on the floor, and lowers her knees to the cushion.
  3. He adjusts his height, half-squatting or kneeling behind her.
  4. Keep his hands on her lower back and start slowly.

Variation 2: her hands on a step or firm cushion

The receiving partner rests her hands on a low step, stool or firm cushion in front of the ball instead of on the floor.

Raising the hands lifts her chest and makes the plank less steep, which takes load off the wrists and shoulders. The pelvis tilts a little less, so penetration can be slightly less deep.

  1. Place a stable low step, stool or firm cushion in front of the ball.
  2. She lies over the ball and rests her hands on the support, arms straight.
  3. She stretches her legs back with her toes on the floor.
  4. He stands behind her as in the basic position and checks her balance before starting.

Variation 3: her legs together, his feet outside

The receiving partner brings her stretched legs together, and the penetrating partner stands with his feet on either side of them.

With her legs closed, the thighs press together and penetration can feel tighter, though a little less deep. Her base on the floor is narrower, so the ball needs to be held more firmly.

  1. Start in the basic position.
  2. She brings her legs together, still on her toes.
  3. He places his feet wider, outside her legs, and bends his knees a little more.
  4. He holds her hips firmly and uses short, controlled strokes.

✓ Tips
  • Use a well-inflated exercise ball on a non-slip mat, in a clear space with nothing hard nearby.
  • He should keep his feet firmly planted and his hands on her lower back to stop the ball rolling; stop at once if either of you loses balance.
  • Her hands go flat on the floor under the shoulders, arms straight but not locked; a mat or cushion under the hands eases the wrists.
  • Start slowly: penetration is deep and standing thrusts can be forceful. Do not pull all the way out with force, so the penis does not bend.
  • Use lubricant if needed.
  • Keep sessions short and rest when her arms tire.
  • Avoid it during pregnancy (the ball presses on the abdomen) and with wrist, shoulder or lower back problems.

Frequently asked questions

Is it a variation of the missionary?

No. It is a rear-entry position: the receiving partner faces the floor over an exercise ball and the penetrating partner stands behind her.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Not really. It needs arm strength, balance and a stable ball. It is better to try simpler rear-entry positions first.

How can we make it less tiring for her arms?

She can rest her knees on the floor, or place her hands on a low step or firm cushion. Short sessions with breaks also help.

Why is it called Punishment?

The name comes from the source catalogue and refers to the dominant stance of the penetrating partner. Any play with roles should always be consensual and agreed beforehand.
