Variations of this position
Variant with Bent Legs
The penetrating person bends their legs, allowing for deeper penetration and greater control over the rhythm.
- The penetrating person sits on the edge of the bed or on a flat surface, with their legs bent and feet flat on the floor.
- The receiving person sits astride their partner, placing their hands on the shoulders or neck to maintain balance.
- Adjust the depth of penetration by moving the hips forward and backward, and communicate to find the right rhythm and intensity.
Variant with Extended Legs
The penetrating person extends their legs, allowing for a more shallow penetration but with greater reach towards the G-spot or the A-spot.
- The penetrating person sits on the edge of the bed or on a flat surface, with legs extended and heels resting on the floor.
- The receiving person sits astride their partner, placing hands on the thighs or knees to maintain balance.
- Adjust the depth of penetration by moving the hips forward and backward, and communicate to find the right rhythm and intensity.
Variant with Hand Support
The receiving person supports themselves on their hands instead of on the shoulders, allowing for greater control over movement and the depth of penetration.
- The penetrating person sits on the edge of the bed or on a flat surface, with legs bent or extended as preferred.
- The receiving person sits astride their partner, supporting their hands on the bed or a flat surface to maintain balance.
- Adjust the depth of penetration by moving the hips forward and backward, and communicate to find the right rhythm and intensity.
✓ Tips
- Make sure to 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 that could cause discomfort or injury.
- Use lubricant to facilitate penetration and reduce friction.

Safety and evidence
Scientific context for common terms used on this page. Keeping these terms makes the content easier to understand; the sources clarify what is established and what remains uncertain.
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.
