Top 5 Most Common Anal Sex Positions

Doggie Style
While this position is probably the most commonly known, it is not recommended for beginners because the position of the receiver tightens the anal muscles making entry difficult. Having said that, it is comfortable for both partners if anal tightening is not a problem. The receiving partner kneels on all fours and the inserting partner approaches from the rear.

Flying Doggie
This anal sex position is a variation of the popular doggie-style position. Instead of kneeling on all fours behind the receiver, the giver stands behind the receiver and positions their legs outside the legs of the receiver. The standing position means that the giver is positioned higher and as a result, the angle of penetration will be more of a downward angle. Depending on the height of the bed and the giver, sexual position aids may be helpful.

Missionary
The anal sex version of the standard missionary position is another good position for beginners. With the giver on top and the receiver on the bottom, the receiver is able to fully relax the anus for ease of penetration.

Side Anal
Because the position allows the receiver to relax this is a great position for people that are new to anal sex experimentation and avid fans alike. An easy position to achieve, the receiver lays on their side and the giver enters from behind.

Wheel-Barrel
This position isn’t for the weak! It is similar to doggie style in that the giver enters from behind, but the giver lifts the receiver's legs into the air. While the giver supports the weight of the receiver’s legs, the receiver must support the rest of their body with their arms. Don’t let strength be a deterrent, consider this a workout and a sexual adventure!
