Illustration of The Inverted Tree
Anatomy and biomechanics

In this position, the bodies are positioned inverted and rearward, standing upright. The penetrating partner stands behind the receptive partner, who leans forward while resting on a stable surface such as the edge of a bed or table. Penetration can be moderate or deep, depending on the inclination and adjustment of the bodies.

Why this position works

This position is appreciated for its deep stimulation, both at point G and point A (for anal penetration). Additionally, it allows for adjustable control over the intensity and depth of penetration, making it versatile and adaptable to different preferences and comfort levels.

Physical effort: High Standing

The Inverted Tree: sexual position with deep stimulation

The Inverted Tree is a sexual position that allows for deep stimulation both in vaginal and anal penetration. This position, also known as the Willow, features an inverted and rear positioning which facilitates control and intensity of penetration.

Also known as: Willow/The Birch/The Ash

Variations of this position

The Leaning Tree: More Control and Depth

In this variant, the receptive person leans further forward, allowing for deeper penetration and greater control over the intensity.

  1. The receptive person leans forward, supporting their hands on a stable surface.
  2. The penetrating person positions themselves behind, adjusting the height for medium or deep penetration.
  3. Both adjust the rhythm and depth according to comfort and pleasure.

The Balanced Tree: Balance and Comfort

This variant focuses on maintaining optimal balance, distributing weight evenly for greater comfort.

  1. The receptive person leans slightly forward, supporting the forearms on a stable surface.
  2. The penetrating person positions themselves behind, adjusting the height for medium penetration.
  3. Both maintain a steady rhythm, ensuring the posture is comfortable and balanced.

The Elevated Tree: Intense Stimulation

In this variant, the receptive person elevates their hips, allowing for more intense penetration and deep stimulation.

  1. The receptive person leans forward and elevates their hips, supporting their hands on a stable surface.
  2. The penetrating person positions themselves behind, adjusting the height for deep penetration.
  3. Both adjust the rhythm and depth to maximize pleasure and comfort.

✓ Tips

  • Ensure you have a stable and comfortable surface to support your hands and forearms.
  • Adjust the height and supports (pillows, bed edge) to remain comfortable and stable.
  • Communicate constantly to adjust the depth and intensity of penetration.

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.
