Great sex positions are ones that are comfortable, let you do what you want (by yourself or with partners), and don't take away from your experience of sexual pleasure. Test your sex positions knowledge with our sex positions quiz or read on to learn more about bum lift sex positions.
Basic Bum Lift Sex Position:

This position is a variation of missionary sex positions and knees on chest sex positions. In this position the partner being penetrated lies flat on their back with their legs spread open. The penetrating partner kneels in front of their partner and puts one or both hands under their partners bum, lifting them up and tilting their pelvis forward while penetrating them. The partner being penetrated can rest their legs at the ankle on their partner’s shoulders.

Variations on the Bum Lift Sex Position:

You can easily change the angle of penetration by raising or lowering the penetrated partner’s bum.

The partner being penetrated can bend their legs at the knee so their shins are pressing against the penetrating partner’s chest.

The partner doing the penetration can use both hands on their partners bum and move their partner around during penetration, using their own hips less and the bounce of the bed more (this works best on a firm mattress, not something too hard).

This position can be used with the partner being penetrated at the edge of the bed, and the penetrating partner standing or kneeling on the floor.

Pros of the Bum Lift Sex Position:
  • This position allows for easy change of variation in penetration angle and depth.
  • There can be a lot of pressing of flesh, and physical closeness with this sex position.
  • This position is face to face.
  • This position allows the penetrating partner to use their hands and upper body to add motion to the penetration.
Cons of the Bum Lift Sex Position:
  • The partner on the bottom has less control, most of the movement comes from one partner.
  • This position requires good flexibility in the legs for the partner being penetrated, and good balance and strength for the partner doing the penetration.
  • This position would not be comfortable if done on a hard surface (rough carpet, a table, the floor, etc…)
