Looking for fresh inspiration when it comes to gay sex positions and ways to spruce up your sex life? We’ve got you. Here are six of the hottest gay sex positions, complete with handy illustrations so you and your partner can dive straight in.
Top vs. bottom
In this article we use the terms ‘top’ and ‘bottom’ to describe roles during sex. The top is the giving partner, the bottom is the receiving partner. Some people switch happily between the two — whatever works for you.
1. The Oyster
In this position the bottom lies on his back with his knees pulled up towards his belly. The top kneels in front of him and holds his knees apart. For more control and stability, the top can hold the bottom’s thighs and lean slightly forward.
Once you’ve found a comfortable rhythm, the top can use his hands to stimulate the rest of the bottom’s body too. Because you can hold eye contact, the Oyster feels really intimate. It’s also a great position if you’d like to penetrate your partner more deeply.
2. Up and Over
The bottom lies on his back, knees pressed towards his shoulders, with his feet resting on the top’s shoulders. The top can hold the bottom’s thighs or bum for extra support during penetration. Use your free hand to stimulate his penis and balls to dial up the pleasure.
Heads up: Up and Over goes a bit deeper than the Oyster, so we’d recommend plenty of lube and a bit of experience with anal sex first.
To give the receiver more control, you can also have him plant his feet against your chest. He then pushes you away and lets you sink back in — really, really nice.
3. Aquarius
Just like the Oyster, the bottom starts flat on his back. The top kneels in front and rests the bottom’s bum and thighs on his upper legs. The higher you lift him, the deeper you’ll penetrate — and the angle changes too, so there’s plenty of room to play. Support his back with both arms.
Tip! Free up one hand to stimulate his penis at the same time — instant upgrade.
4. The Drill
Time to level up. With The Drill — don’t let the name put you off — the bottom lies on his back with his knees towards his shoulders and his legs in the air. The top stands above him and squats over him, leaning forward to find the right angle for penetration. Often the top will need to angle his penis slightly downwards. Keep the movement simple and the pace slow. Short, gentle thrusts are the secret here.
“Keep the movement simple and the pace slow.”
This one can be tricky on a mattress. Lay down a rug or find a firmer surface. The bottom can also rest his lower back and bum against the sofa to make it easier to hold the position.
5. The Butterfly
The top stands upright and pulls the bottom firmly against him. The bottom lies on his back and wraps his legs around his partner’s body. The top holds the bottom’s legs and pulls him in close with every thrust. Both partners get a pretty incredible view — especially if the bottom (or top) reaches down to touch himself at the same time.
6. Spooning
The bottom lies on his side with his knees slightly bent. The top lies close behind him, facing the same direction. From here the top can reach pretty much everywhere — stroking his whole body, grabbing his bum, kissing his neck. As the bottom, you can guide his hands to the spots you most want to be touched.
Spooning may feel a little less intimate because you’re not face-to-face, but you can fully surrender to the sensation and your bodies stay in close contact the whole time.
“The top can reach the other person’s whole body — stroking, grabbing, kissing his neck.”
Because you’re both lying on your sides with the bed taking the weight, this position isn’t very strenuous. Ideal for the lazier evenings. Explore new heights of pleasure together and give these gay sex positions a go!
