Anatomy and biomechanics
In this position, the receptive person sits astride the penetrating person, with legs open and supported on the floor or the sides of the bed. The penetrating person can be seated or lying down, with legs stretched or bent to adjust the depth of penetration.
Why this position works
This position allows for deep penetration and direct stimulation of the G-spot, which can lead to greater pleasure and satisfaction for the receptive person. Additionally, the straddle position allows for greater control over the rhythm and depth of penetration.
Scorching Knot: Complete Guide to the Deep Sexual Position
The Scorching Knot is a sexual position where the receptive person straddles the penetrating person, facing the same direction or in the opposite direction, allowing for deep penetration and intense stimulation of the G-spot.
Also known as: Knot/Reverse Cowgirl/Straddle
Variations of this position
Inclined Hot Knot: Greater Depth and Control
The receptive person leans forward, increasing the depth of penetration and allowing greater control over the rhythm.
- The penetrating person sits on the edge of the bed or on a firm chair.
- The receptive person sits astride the penetrating person, facing the same direction.
- The receptive person leans forward, supporting their hands on the penetrating person's legs or on the mattress, and begins to move their hips in a circular or back-and-forth motion.
Hot Knot Lying Down: Comfort and Relaxation
Both people lie on their sides, allowing for more relaxed and comfortable penetration.
- The penetrating person lies on their side on the bed, with their legs slightly bent.
- The receptive person lies on their side facing the penetrating person, with one leg raised and resting on the hip of the penetrating person.
- The penetrating person guides their penis towards the receptive person's vagina and begins to move their hips in a back-and-forth motion.
Hot Knot Elevated: Intense G-Spot Stimulation
The receptive partner sits astride the penetrating partner, but with their legs elevated and resting on the penetrating partner's shoulders.
- The penetrating partner sits on the floor or a firm surface, with their legs stretched out.
- The receptive partner sits astride the penetrating partner, facing the same direction, and lifts their legs to rest on the penetrating partner's shoulders.
- The penetrating partner holds the receptive partner's hips and begins moving their hips in a back-and-forth motion, ensuring deep and consistent penetration.
✓ Tips
- Make sure to have enough pillows or cushions to maintain a comfortable and stable position.
- Communicate constantly to adjust the depth and rhythm of penetration.

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.
