When you’ve got a fuller figure, certain sex positions can be a real challenge. Some Kamasutra-style positions might even seem impossible. But fear not — whatever your weight or build, you can absolutely enjoy great sex. In this blog we share the best sex positions for plus-size bodies!
Position 1: Sofa Seduction
Cuddling on the sofa watching a film when you both get in the mood for a steamy session? Why bother moving to the bedroom when the sofa is just as comfortable!
Lean over the armrest and spread your legs. Your partner takes position behind you so they can slide in easily. Because the sofa supports a lot of your body weight in this position, it’s an ideal posture for plus-size bodies.
Position 2: Sex in a Sling
If one or both of you need more support, a sex sling is a brilliant solution. A sling can support certain parts of the body and lift them up, making it much more comfortable and easier to keep going.

When the receiving partner sits in the sling, they can hold their legs up while their partner is inside them. The sling’s straps offer firm support for both of you. Bonus: in this position, the giving partner doesn’t have to think about their belly — it’s tucked nicely out of the way.
Position 3: Doggystyle
Probably one of the best sex positions for plus-size bodies: doggystyle. It might not have the intimacy of a face-to-face position, but it has plenty of other advantages. The penetrating partner gets a fantastic view of their partner’s bottom, which only adds to the excitement.
It also allows for deep penetration, with the chance of G-spot stimulation. The receiving partner has both hands free, so they can stimulate their clitoris at the same time with their fingers and/or a vibrator.
Position 4: Reverse Cowgirl
In this position, the receiving partner sits on top with their back to their partner’s face. By choosing a woman-on-top position, weight isn’t a factor at all. That’s exactly why this is one of the most beloved positions for plus-size couples.

You can position yourself comfortably and control the depth and pace. Your partner can lean back and let you do all the work. They also get to enjoy the view while you ride them.
Position 5: The Elevated Starfish
If you carry a few extra kilos, the regular Starfish can be impossible to pull off. An adapted version works beautifully though. The receiving partner lies at the edge of the bed and lets their legs hang. Their partner stands upright while they lift their bottom up.
This way, your partner can slide in easily. The bonus is that the receiving partner’s body weight is supported by the bed, and the standing partner doesn’t put weight on their knees or have to lean on their body.
Position 6: Splitting Queens (Spread Eagle)
Never underestimate the power of cushions. One of the most important ingredients for great sex is making sure both partners are comfortable. For plus-size bodies, adding cushions can be exactly what you need. With a cushion, you can support your partner’s hips to make penetration easier.

In Splitting Queens, multiple cushions are used to support your partner’s legs so they sit wide open in a V-shape. The cushions take the weight off the legs and bring them to the perfect height.
