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 leg action sex positions.
Basic Leg Action Sex Position:

This sex position is a combination of the woman on top sex position and the edge of the bed sex position but with the guy on bottom. In this sex position the man is on his back, lying across a bed, with his hips on the edge of the bed but his thighs and legs dangling off the edge of the bed. His partner is on top.

More about the Basic Leg Action Sex Position:

Not a beginner sex position. You need to have reasonably flexible legs and hips for this sex position but you don’t need to be super strong, but you need to be able to move).

What makes this position different is the type and source of motion. The man uses his hips and leg muscles to create the movement during penetration. It takes a little experimentation, but you writhe your legs and hips around, shaking them up and down, back and forth, and even rotating them.

Variations on the Leg Action Sex Position:

As you experiment with this your partner, who is on top, can move to match the motion, and the chaoticness of it starts to make sense.

If you need extra traction or leverage, you can reach your arms up above your head and grab the end of the mattress.

You can also experiment by moving your legs and hips a lot, for a short burst of time, and then relaxing, but continue the penetration play. Notice how your body feels while you are still having penetration, but not moving as much.

Pros of the Leg Action Sex Position:
  • This position is also a great way to relieve tension and stress in your hips and legs.
  • It is also a great position for “letting loose” as you can move as much as you want, but your partner on top can still control things by moving their body in response to your movements.
  • In your writhing and jerky leg motions you can really release a lot of the energy in your legs and pelvis that, for some men, stay surprisingly stiff during penetration.
Cons of the Leg Action Sex Position:
  • With the amount of energy it takes, this isn’t a position you can maintain for a long time.
  • This also isn’t a very intimate or gentle position.
  • The position requires a fair bit of muscle strength.
