Why don't you give the deckchair sex positions a whirl after mastering the regular missionary sex position? The deckchair sex position is a man-on-top position. While penetrating partner gets into their respective poses, they form something like a deckchair. This blog discusses the deckchair sex position, including how to get into it and its variations.

While your sex life is stuck in a rut, you already know switching position is the key to feeling good. Did you know a fulfilling sex life positively affects your relationship? Because there are many sexual positions, finding things resonating with your body can be tough. The deckchair sex position can be a great addition to your basket of sexual positions if you lack flexibility. The name sounds like the toughest sex position -it requires a crazy amount of effort and strength. You can easily transition from your go-to sex position-missionary to deckchair sex position.

How to Get into the Deckchair sex Position

The penetrating partner sits on a flat surface-bed or floor with their legs forward and wide apart. The receiving partner lies on their back between the penetrating partner's legs with their legs in the air or wrapped around the penetrating partner's shoulders. You can see the position brings the pelvis of the receiving partner closer to the genitals of the penetrating partner. The penetrating partner can slightly lean backward and support their body with their arms. They can start thrusting into the receiving partner by moving back and forth.

The Role of The Man or Penetrating Partner in The Deckchair Sex Position

The position allows a man to do a lot of thrusting, and they must keep finding new angles of penetration. Boredom is one of the things you may never want in your bedroom, especially when having sex. The penetrating partner can lean back to invent new penetration angles. They can hold the receiving partner's thighs, allowing them to dig deeper at greater power. Men cannot provide direct clitoral stimulation in this position, but women can enjoy blended orgasms.

The Role of The Woman or The Receiving Partner in The Deckchair Sex Position

a lot of thrusting comes from the man or the penetrating partner because the woman or the receiving partner will not have much to do. However, instead of lying, they can use their hands to rub against their external vagina. They can use a clitoral vibrator if their hands are not a good choice for the job. Thomas (2022) noted the deckchair sex position is also a great way to introduce rough sex into your bedroom. While on their back, the receiving partner can stretch out their hands to scratch the back of the penetrating partner. Most men enjoy this.

Variations of the Deckchair Sex Position

Feel free to move out and try something new if the deckchair sex position becomes boring. Here are its orgasm-inducing variations.

Anvil

Unlike the deckchair sex position, the anvil sex position may require flexibility from the man and the receiving partner. The receiving partner lies on their back with their legs close to their chest and wide apart. The penetrating partner then leans over the receiving partner, supporting their body weight with their hands. Once the penetrating partner is in position, the receiving partner can rest their calves or ankles on the shoulders of the penetrating partner. The penetrating partner can start thrusting into the bottom partner. The deckchair sex position and the anvil sex position allow a deeper exploration. The only difference is that the latter allows eye contact during lovemaking, which most couples find super erotic.

Brute Sex Position

Imbrisevic (2022) suggested that the brute sex position is another variation of the deckchair sex position that may require a little strength and effort from the penetrating partner. The receiving partner lies on their back with their knees close to their chest and wide apart to have sex in the brute sex position. The penetrating partner then gets between the receiving partner's spread knees, facing the other direction. They can hold the receiving partner's legs and slowly squat onto them. The brute sex position resembles the amazon sex position. The only difference is that in the amazon sex position, the penetrating partner and the receiving partner enjoy eye contact while making love.

Octopus

Like the deckchair sex position, the octopus sex position allows deep exploration. You may find the octopus sex position super interesting if you are also a die-hard fan of eye contact during lovemaking. To start, the penetrating partner sits with their legs straight forward and wide apart. The receiving partner then sits between the penetrating partner's spread legs, facing them. Now, instead of straddling the penetrating partner's thighs, they rest their legs on the penetrating partner's shoulders. They will support their body weight with their hands. The penetrating partner can slightly lean backward and use their hands to initiate thrusting.

The Piledriver Sex Position

Action (2022) stated that the receiving partner lies on their hands in the piledriver sex position. Partners lift their legs in the air and bring them towards their head; With the legs on either side of the receiving partner's head, their lower back will lift off the bed. According to Flynn (2022), the penetrating partner sits on the receiving partner, with their legs planted on the bed or floor and on either side of the receiving partner's hips. The top partner can enter the receiving partner anally or vaginally. The piledriver sex position requires a crazy amount of flexibility from the receiving partner.

The Bottom Line

The Deckchair is a great sex position for men who like to take charge of things in the bedroom. While its name may give a different picture, it is easy to perform the position- it does not require flexibility. This, however, does not apply to some of its variations, including the Piledriver. The Piledriver is also not ideal for people with back issues. While the Deckchair sex position and its variations can help you spice up things in your bedroom, choose something that resonates with you and your body.
