Anatomy and biomechanics
In the Strength position, the penetrating person sits behind the receptive person, with legs extended or bent depending on the variant. Penetration can be vaginal or anal, and is usually shallow but intense.
Why this position works
This position allows for an intimate and deep connection, with adjustable control over the intensity and rhythm of penetration. It is ideal for those seeking intense stimulation of the G-spot or prostate.
Strength sexual position: depth and connection
The Strength position is a sexual position where both bodies are seated, one behind the other, allowing for deep penetration and intense stimulation of the G-spot or prostate.
Also known as: Iron / Iron position / Rear seated position
Variations of this position
Classic Strength: deep and controlled penetration
Both bodies are seated, one behind the other, with legs extended.
- The receiving person sits with legs extended and leans their back against the chest of the penetrating person.
- The penetrating person sits behind, wrapping their legs around those of the receiving person.
- They begin penetration with slow, deep movements, adjusting the rhythm according to both parties' pleasure.
Flexed Strength: greater control and stability
Both bodies are seated, one behind the other, with legs bent.
- The receiving person sits with legs bent and feet flat on the floor.
- The penetrating person sits behind, wrapping their legs around the receiving person's legs and placing their feet on the floor.
- They begin penetration with controlled movements, using leg muscles to adjust depth.
Elevated Strength: higher intensity and stimulation
Both bodies are seated, one behind the other, with legs elevated and resting on a surface.
- The receiving person sits with legs elevated and resting on a surface, such as the edge of the bed.
- The penetrating person sits behind, wrapping their legs around the receiving person's legs and resting their feet on the floor.
- They begin penetration with intense and deep movements, using gravity to increase stimulation.
✓ Tips
- Adjust the height and supports (pillows, edge of the bed) to keep you both comfortable and stable.
- Communicate constantly to adjust the depth and rhythm of penetration.
- Avoid sudden movements to prevent injury to the lower back and joints.

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.
