Anatomy and biomechanics

Both standing; the receiver performs a trunk flexion leaning on a stable surface to unload the lumbar area and stabilize the pelvis. The degree of inclination regulates the angle and depth. Requires compatible heights or compensate with the height of the support.

Why this position works

It has the spontaneity and intensity of what happens 'here and now', without the need to lie down. The angle from behind is very pleasurable and the support on a piece of furniture makes it sustainable. Perfect for the shower, against the wall or in any corner with a surface at the right height.

Physical effort: Medium Standing

Standing from Behind: intensity with support

Spontaneous and highly erotic. Standing and from behind, leaning on a piece of furniture or the wall, it's the position for moments that don't wait to get to the bed.

  • If there is a height difference, use a step, the height of the bed or footwear.

Frequently asked questions

What if we are of very different heights?

Compensate with the height of the support (table, bed) or a step; it's the key to this position.

Is it safe in the shower?

Yes with caution: non-slip mat and a good grip point.

Does it get tiring?

Less than it seems if the receiver supports the torso well; the piece of furniture does the supporting work.
