Basic Edge of the Bed Sex Position: The person being penetrated is at the edge of the bed, with your bum right at the edge, just a little off the bed. Your partner can be on their knees or even standing in front of you depending on the height of the bed.
Variations of Edge of the Bed Sex Position:
If you like the idea of this position, think about how it will be most comfortable for you.
You can be on your back with your legs in the air or resting on your partner’s chest or shoulders. You can be on your front with your bum facing your partner for easy rear entry. You can experiment with the way it feels to raise one leg, the other, or both.
Pros of the Edge of the Bed Sex Position:
- In some sense this is a nice “lazy” position for the person on the bed, as you’re comfortable and don’t have to do a lot of moving or supporting yourself.
- Either partner can grab onto the bed for leverage, and it provides a firm support with some give.
- This position can also be good for either or both partner if fatigue is an issue.
Cons of the Edge of the Bed Sex Position:
- One partner is doing most of the work in this position, so you might not consider it completely equitable.
- The partner not being supported by the bed may want to use pillows for comfort if they are on their knees.
