13 Best Sex Positions for Deep Penetration (With Illustrations and Tips)

Sexual gratification, orgasm, and climax come from all kinds of behaviors and actions. Whatever your preferences and practices, there's very little reason why anyone shouldn't enjoy the pleasures of sex and its many emotional and physical health benefits.

Several studies have shown a significant percentage of women require or benefit from clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm. This 2018 study, Women's Experience of Orgasm During Intercourse, showed just that, stating, "Concurrent clitoral stimulation increases the likelihood of women experiencing orgasm in intercourse."

However, those who experience orgasms exclusively through vaginal sex (as the following study excerpt reveals) state a preference for a longer penis, which brings us to today's topic of deep penetration.

Likelihood of orgasm with a longer penis was related to greater vaginal orgasm frequency but unrelated to frequencies of other sexual behaviors, including clitoral orgasm.

Women who prefer longer penises are more likely to have vaginal orgasms (but not clitoral orgasms): implications for an evolutionary theory of vaginal orgasm.

When it comes to the best sex positions for deep penetration, the most successful include a few key elements: the angle of entry, unhindered access, and the closeness of the connection.

Whether you're exploring vaginal or anal sex—and both are perfectly suitable for deep penetration as long as you're comfortable, safe and know your limits—the feeling of being filled or probing as deep as possible into your partner delivers feelings and sensations unlike those you'd experience during traditional sex play.

1. Elevated Missionary

Elevated Missionary sex position


Missionary might be considered the most vanilla sex position by many, but those people probably aren't utilizing this versatile 'Swiss Army Knife' of positions to get the most from it. The receiving partner lies on top of a pillow, raising their butt or by them arching their back (utilizing a good strong core), changing the angle of penetration, and providing far closer contact, allowing far deeper entry.

Taking Missionary position to the next level

We'll explore a few positions later in the article that create similar unrestricted access and the ideal angle: by lifting the legs or moving to the edge of the bed, allowing for deeper penetration.

One great way for your partner to get the super deep penetration they crave is to wrap their legs around your waist, locking their ankles behind your back and pulling you into them with every thrust. Another is to replicate the Happy Baby yoga pose with the receiving partner lying on their back with their feet raised high up to their ears.

However, one of the most popular Missionary adaptations is for the receiving partner to lift their ankles onto their partner's shoulders. This position is often called the Butterfly position because the spread limbs represent butterfly wings. It is considered one of the deeper penetration positions, where the penetrating partner is in a standing or kneeling position.

2. Receiver facing down, giver on top

Receiver facing down, giver on top  sex position


A variation on Doggy Style, this position requires the receiver to lie face down flat on the bed but with their butt elevated to create the ideal angle of entry. As their partner kneels behind them, they should be at precisely the right height for a truly deep impact.

Taking face-down sex to the next level

There are plenty of ways to mix up rear-entry sex positions for super-deep penetration. Whether the giving partner is in a kneeling position or being supported by the receiver and using their body weight to push even deeper into them, it's all up for experimentation with those positions that deliver that deeper feel.

If the receiver moves into a similar face-down position from kneeling, with their legs tucked underneath and sitting on their feet, this becomes the Child's Pose yoga (and sex) position. With their butt nice and high, it's perfect for an unrestricted deep drilling.

3. Giver sitting, receiver on top

Giver sitting, receiver on top Sex Position



Also known as the Private Dancer or Face-Off sex position, the receiving partner straddles the penetrating partner as they sit on a chair or other suitable surface. With their knees pushed wide apart to allow the closest connection, they can take the full length of the penis, pushing down on it to maximize penetration. Not only that, but continual eye contact offers a level of intimacy other positions can't always match.

Taking riding-your-partner to the next level

Sitting sex positions allow the receiver to control everything. With control provided by the leg muscles (you might want to ensure they're properly stretched before starting this option), they can move into the best position for deeper penetration as well as direct the penis or strap-on toward their G-spot. It's also a great workout for the pelvic muscles that aid sexual performance and orgasm.

4. Both on the side

Both on the side sex position

If you're looking for something a little lazier for those Sunday morning sessions, then the side-by-side sex position is for you. It's low effort, but with your partner's right leg thrown over your left side (or vice versa), you can work together to find the perfect placement for deeper penetration.

Taking sex on your side to the next level

This is a great position for partners taking turns. During heterosexual sex, the female can utilize all the flexibility of her hips for a long, sweet, up-and-down motion, where, when it's the guy's turn, he can jam his feet against the foot of the bed for more leverage and push deeper into her than ever.

5. Elevated Cowgirl

Elevated cowgirl Sex Position

As with traditional Cowgirl, the female straddles her partner and controls the depth, speed, and angle of penetration. With this elevated alternative, the penetrating partner lies on top of a cushion to push their genitals up and into their rider.

Taking Cowgirl to the next level

Being face-to-face provides an added level of intimacy to any position, but to really explore each other's intimacy, why not add matching anal dildos to this position to double up both partner's experience, action, and intensity. For those who crave the feeling of fullness that deeper penetration provides, filling both entrances can offer exactly that!

6. Both sitting, receiver on top

Both sitting, receiver on top  sex position


As with the Private Dancer position, the rider straddles the penetrating partner but this time facing away from them—it's a Reverse Cowgirl alternative, often called the Hot Seat, sat on a chair or other suitable surface. If the penetrating partner opens their legs, the rider can bounce up and down as hard as they dare, taking every last inch into their body.

Taking seated riding sex to the next level

For those who like things a little rough, and with the penis owner having such a great view of their partner's ass, it's the perfect position for a few cheeky butt slaps. Obviously, consent is key here, but for a truly explosive experience, each slap can increase in intensity as the pace and pounding of the sex does, arriving at a hot-blooded and fierce climax.

7. Elevated Doggy Style

Elevated Doggy-style  sex position


As with traditional Doggy, it's one of the best positions for deep penetration. By raising the butt a little higher, it allows the penis even more access and an opportunity to hit different parts of the vaginal wall, including the G-spot.

Taking Doggy to the next level

This is another perfect position for those who love a little slapping in their sex play, but also, with both partners having hands free, it's a perfect opportunity for either partner to masturbate the receiver to intensify their orgasm.

Exaggerating the conventional Doggy position by pushing the butt and neck out and arching the back creates the precise angle required for the deepest penetration. It is often called the Cervical O, as it's possibly the best position to achieve a cervical orgasm (an intense and pleasurable orgasm from deep stimulation to the cervix entrance). Go slow and steady with this one, as nudging against the cervix can be incredibly sensitive and isn't for everyone.

8. Leapfrog

Leapfrog  sex position


Another deep penetration sex position that's easily accessed from any of the Doggy positions is Leapfrog.

The receiver lowers their chest down to the bed and, with their knees slightly bent, spreads their legs far apart to open access to the vagina or anus. The penetrating partner holds onto their hips or places their hands on the small of the back, just like in the playground version of the game.

Taking Leapfrog to the next level

To maximize penetration during thrusting, the receiver can lift their legs and lock them behind their partner's back. There's also plenty of access for reacharound caressing, fondling, and masturbating.

9. Receiver on their back, Legs up

Receiver on their back, legs up sex position

This position is very similar to the Butterfly sex position mentioned earlier, but with the penetrating partner pushing down using their body weight.

Taking elevated-leg sex to the next level

To add more pressure and intensity, the receiver can lower their legs until their feet are resting against their partner's chest. The push-and-pull of this position provides an extra level of arousal while maintaining eye contact and deep impact.

10. Pretzel Dip

Pretzel dip  sex position


Looking almost as contorted as a pretzel, the Pretzel Dip looks very much like the lesbian act of Scissoring but with penetration. With the receiver laid on their back, their partner straddles their lower leg to enter the vagina or anus.

Taking Pretzel Dip to the next level

With its unusual angle of entry, this fun position will find spots on the vaginal wall the receiver didn't know were so sensitive.

11. Lotus position

Lotus position sex position


Apart from being as physically close as you can get, with your partner sitting in the deepest point in your lap, it's also incredibly intimate with your faces being so close. It's a perfect position for kissing, nibbling, and hot and heavy breathing.

Taking Lotus to the next level

As well as its deep penetration, this position allows for masses of clitoral stimulation, with the female partner rotating and grinding against her partner as opposed to the straight in and out of traditional penetrative sex.

As much as hard and fast thrusting provides plenty of physical stimulation for a penis, four methods found to increase female pleasure during vaginal stimulation  are angling, rocking, shallowing, and pairing.

The Lotus position is perfect for rocking, which 76% of those in the study stated made sex more pleasurable. So, what is rocking, exactly? Staying deep in the vagina while constantly rubbing the clitoris with the pubic bone or base of the penis during penetration.


And if you want to add more stimulation to your partner's clitoris, why not add a vibrating cock ring into the mix?

12. Wheelbarrow

Wheelbarrow sex position


What could be better after a game of Leapfrog than doing the Wheelbarrow? While that sentence would fit well in any children's park, in our sexual playground, the activities are far, far spicier.

Taking Wheelbarrow to the next level

Let's face it: to enjoy this position and all it offers, you have to be pretty at the next level already. However, given the amazing view of your partner's butt, why not have them dress it up with a jeweled butt plug or a fox's tail?

13. Receiver on the edge of the bed, elevated

Receiver on the edge of the bed, elevated  sex position


Taking elements of Missionary and the Butterfly sex position, this position allows the penetrating partner to stand upright while they thrust. Taking pressure off the knees and legs while retaining that deep probing, it's a great option for longer-lasting sex or for older couples.

Taking edge-of-the-bed sex to the next level

Instead of resting their partner's ankles on their shoulders, the penetrating partner can hold them in their hands, spreading their legs wide to really open them up or pushing against them to maximize thrusting.

Top tips for deep penetration

1. Use plenty of lube

With deeper penetration, the receiving partner must be appropriately turned on and lubricated, especially when approaching the cervix and during anal.

2. Go slowly

Take your time to enjoy every moment, but also to allow the natural lubrication systems to hit their maximum output.

3. Make the most of foreplay ahead of penetration

Another reason to go slow and lengthen foreplay is that during arousal, the vaginal canal gets longer, and the cervix lifts toward the front of the body. This moves it further away from the vaginal opening making contact less likely for those who find the sensation of cervical contact uncomfortable.

4. Get your partner as turned on as possible

Arousal ensures both lubrication and relaxation, and the genitals are perfectly primed for deep penetration.

Returning to the study, Women’s techniques for making vaginal penetration more pleasurable, why not explore all four techniques to maximize your partner's pleasure?

TECHNIQUES EXPLANATION
Angling Rotating, raising, or lowering the pelvis/hips during penetration to adjust where inside the vagina the toy or penis rubs and what it feels like.
Rocking The base of a penis or sex toy rubbing against the clitoris constantly during penetration by staying all the way inside the vagina rather than thrusting in and out.
Shallowing Penetrative touch just inside of the entrance of the vagina—not on the outside, but also not deep inside—with a fingertip, sex toy, penis tip, tongue, or lips.
Pairing When a woman herself (Solo Pairing) or her partner (Partner Pairing) reaches down to stimulate her clitoris with a finger or sex toy at the same time as her vagina is being penetrated.

5. Be focused and listen to your partner’s body signals

Groans and moans of pleasure, twitches, recoiling, tensing up, or jerking away from you are all signs of what your partner is feeling. Look for the signals to fill in the gaps of what your partner might not say with words.

6. Invest in sex pillows

Sex pillows come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they're all great for putting your body in different positions to enhance the angle of penetration and depth.

7. If you can’t achieve it, consider using a penis sleeve

A penis sleeve is a wearable dildo that fastens in place using a harness or a loop around the testicles. It adds length and girth and can help anyone with ED issues satisfy their partner.

8. Move around when you achieve depth

Once you're deep inside your partner, fast and slow thrusting deliver different sensations, as does hitting different parts of the anus or vaginal wall. Move around to explore your partner's preferences.

9. Switch between deep and shallow penetration

As with most experiences, we acclimatize to them if they are too frequent or repetitive. In a similar, smaller way, the same can be said for penetration. To make the most of those sensations, vary between deep and shallow so your body can feel and enjoy the difference.

Summary

Deep penetration isn't for everyone, but for those who love the feeling of being filled up or probed deeply, ensuring the act is safe and comfortable is paramount.

It takes both emotional and physical trust and vulnerability to make the most of the experience, so clear communication and boundaries are essential.

With those in place, experimenting with different positions highlights the differences between everyone's body, as there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Exploration and experimentation are your best friends when finding your perfect positions, as are ample lubrication, patience, and trust.
