Anatomy and biomechanics
Hip flexion with knee extension: the receiver lifts their legs straight, which retroverts the pelvis and narrows the canal, increasing friction and directing the angle to the anterior wall (G-spot). The penetrator on their knees controls the depth. Requires some hamstring flexibility but little active effort.
Why this position works
The angle with legs elevated and together intensifies friction and points directly at the G-spot, with notable depth. The image is very erotic and the receiver makes little effort. It's one of the best for those seeking anterior wall stimulation without complications.
The Catapult: legs up, guaranteed depth
Like missionary, but aiming for the sky. The receiver stretches their legs upwards, resting them on their partner's chest, and the angle changes completely: more depth, more G-spot, and a very intense feeling of openness.
Also known as: the catapult · legs up · legs to chest · elevated missionary
Variations of this position
1. V-shaped legs: less depth, more access
Like the catapult, with legs elevated open in a V.
The receiver opens their legs elevated in a V, reducing depth but facilitating access to the clitoris.
- From the catapult, open your legs in a V.
- The penetrator can stimulate the clitoris.
- Adjust the angle.
2. With a wedge: lift the pelvis
Like a catapult, with a firm pillow under the hips.
A firm pillow under the hips adds elevation and accentuates the angle to the G-spot.
- Place a wedge under the hips.
- Lift the legs together.
- The angle to the G-spot is accentuated.
✓ Tips
- Keep your legs together to narrow the canal and increase friction.
- Rest your calves on your partner's chest to relax.
- A pillow under your hips improves the angle even more.
- If your hamstrings feel tight, bend your knees slightly.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be flexible?
A little in the back of the legs; if it pulls, bend your knees slightly.
Why is the G-spot felt so much?
Legs elevated and together retrovert the pelvis and direct the angle to the anterior wall.
Is it comfortable?
Yes, the receiver makes little effort by resting their legs on their partner.

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.
