Illustration of The Iberian Sunset
Anatomy and biomechanics

The Iberian Sunset is a posterior penetration position where the woman leans forward, supporting herself on her hands or elbows, allowing for deep penetration. The man positions himself behind, guiding his erection inside her. The position allows for simultaneous stimulation of the A-spot (anterior) and the G-spot (posterior), thanks to the angle of penetration. To achieve this, it's important that both are relaxed and synchronized in their movements, allowing the penis to stimulate both erogenous zones.

Why this position works

This position is enjoyed for the combination of depth and erogenous stimulation. Posterior penetration allows for an intimate and sensual connection, while the stimulation of the A-spot and G-spot increases pleasure for both. It's an ideal position for those seeking a deep emotional and physical bond during sexual intercourse.

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.
