How to do it:

Getting into it is easy. The penetrating partner lays on their back as the other straddles them with their legs. The person on top now has to simply sit down on the penis/dildo as it entersinto the desired orifice, or you can even just grind away. This can be extra saucy for people having vaginal sex, as the grinding can really stimulate the clitoris.

So, now you have another great sex position to throw into your arsenal (if you didn’t already) that can make life just as pleasurable even with a difference in height. Remember that sex is always enhanced by communication. Talking things out during and after sex can ensure that no matter the height difference, you and your partner are hitting the right spots!
