I’ve been reading a lot about anatomy lately (both from general health sources and anal-focused guides), and I keep noticing something interesting. Certain body positions are widely recommended because they create a straighter, more open path through the rectum and relax the pelvic floor muscles. The same alignment that makes those positions helpful for everyday natural functions like daily elimination seems like it could also make receptive anal play smoother, more comfortable, and potentially more pleasurable for the receiver.
I’m thinking specifically of things like:
A squatting or semi-squatting stance
Knees drawn up toward the chest while on the back
Forward-leaning or elevated-hip positions
Sitting on the edge of a stool
The theory is that these postures reduce the natural curve/kink at the rectosigmoid junction and ease muscle tension – basically letting things line up more naturally. I’m curious about this overlap in practice, and how much difference it actually makes.
Have any of you found that these kind of positions also happen to be some of your go-to or most enjoyable positions for anal? Did you discover it by accident, or did you deliberately try them because of the anatomical similarity? Any positions that surprised you by feeling especially right or effortless?
Favorite position for anal is me standing and her on her back at the corner of the bed with legs pulled back. Perfect view and I can penetrate her deeply.
Second favorite is her on her knees on a chair or ottoman and me standing.
I do the driving which is why we don’t use positions where she’s on top. I need to be in total control.
We always end up in out favorite positions, but I’d like to try face down ass up (also called prone bone). She favors a particular angle of penetration, and face down ass up would give her that angle.
I haven’t tried a whole bunch of positions yet. But in terms of getting the angle right, I was really surprised that spooning worked well. It was our second time. I laid on my side with him behind me. As he started to enter me, I sort of curled my knees up to my chest. I think it had the effect you describe when you squat over a toilet, because it felt like my ring just expanded and he was able to get his length in much deeper than our first time.
@Backdoorlover - Edge-of-the-bed with legs back and ass up, face down both sound like they really hit that straighter alignment. Standing doggy too. The upright posture probably helps open things naturally. It’s great that they work so well for both of you.
@Colt1911 - Prone bone must be a classic for a reason. That angle really seems to match what I was thinking, maybe with a pillow under her hips too. Hope you both get to try it soon and it gives the stimulation you’re after.
@Jennanymph - That spooning experience with knees curled up is interesting, almost like a side-lying version of squatting. The way you described your ring just relaxing and letting him slide in much deeper on the second try feels spot-on. Did you notice it being any more pleasurable overall, or did the comfort level just make it go smoother?
It was definitely more pleasurable. The angle just hit waaay better, and it was easier for him to get to my clit. (I did have to tell him to slow down there a bit, though.)
But it also gave me a little more control. Like, I could press myself back onto him or adjust my hips, which I couldn’t do when he was on top of me in missionary. So all around a more pleasurable and better experience.
My boyfriend is very big, I’ve found that during vaginal sex he ends up hitting my cervix which I find quite uncomfortable, during anal he can push through that second shphincter which feels WEIRD but gets to be pleasurable quickly.
My favourite positions are definitely prone bone or standing but they are hard work and we are lazy so we mostly do spooning as it’s so easy to adjust the angle to make it perfect for both of us
I’d love to feel that with my wife. We tried prone this weekend but quickly changed to missionary at the corner of the bed.
We haven’t tried spoon for depth. I might not have the length to reach her sigmoid. I think I’ve “bumped into it” during penetration because she reacted with a deep moan.
No big loss if I don’t feel her sigmoid. It’s possible I have but can’t feel it myself.
The left lateral Sims’ position definitely helps with natural body alignment during anal intercourse, which is one of the reasons it’s commonly used for rectal examinations, particularly Rectoscopy and Sigmoidoscopy, and for the administration of enemas.
Having experienced Rigid Sigmoidoscopy, the insertion of toys longer than ~7 inches, and similarly well-endowed male partners, I can say that feeling the object or penis passing through my rectum and into my sigmoid colon is both very comfortable and satisfying in the Sims’ position.
I’m 7” in length so I may fall just short of what I need to pass through her sigmoid. Can your longer endowed partners feel it when they push through your sigmoid?
@JanetB2010 I can imagine the moment your larger partners push through into the sigmoid maybe would feel quite like a “locking in” sensation, almost like a gentle suction drawing them further in. It does sound incredible, and I hope I’m able to experience that same push-through one day.
Same here, would be icing on the cake. I’ve already learned so much about positions for optimising angles and natural body alignment here, and it’s great to hear first-hand experience on this
