Anal sex can be deeply pleasurable, intimate, and surprisingly addictive when you choose the right positions. These seven moves are the ones women and their partners keep coming back to because they balance comfort, depth, and intense sensation — with zero pain when done right.
“I was nervous about anal for the longest time. But one night the mood felt right and I just went for it. I climbed on top, kissed him deep, and whispered, ‘I want you to fuck me in the ass.’ His eyes lit up with pure hunger. He took his time, lots of lube. Once I relaxed and started riding him harder, I got so into it. The feeling is intense. I came so hard my legs were shaking, and he followed right after, groaning my name. Now I’m not shy to ask for it. Turns out I’m a total anal slut. I love it!” — Sophia, 31
The 7 Best Anal Sex Positions
- Prone Bone – She lies completely flat on her stomach with her legs slightly apart. He lies on top of her, entering from behind. This position gives incredibly deep penetration while keeping your bodies pressed tightly together. The angle hits her G-spot perfectly and creates a feeling of being completely taken. For him, the tight squeeze and the view of her ass make it feel primal and intensely pleasurable. You can stay relaxed while he controls the rhythm, or you can push back against him to set the pace. It’s also one of the easiest and most comfortable positions for anal because the angle is gentle and you can relax completely.
- Sideways Anal – You both lie on your sides in a spooning position. He enters you from behind for anal. This is one of the most comfortable and gentle anal positions because you stay relaxed and in control of the depth. The closeness makes it feel intimate rather than intimidating. You can whisper dirty things in his ear while he moves slowly inside you. Many women say this is the position that made anal feel pleasurable and addictive for the first time.
- Doggy Style – Classic and primal. She’s on all fours while he enters from behind. The angle is deep, the view is incredible for him, and she can push back to control how hard and deep he goes. It feels raw and animalistic — exactly what a lot of guys secretly crave.
- Reverse Cowgirl Anal – She faces away while riding him. This gives him an amazing view of her ass and lets her control the depth and speed. The angle feels different and often hits new spots for her while giving him that visual he loves.
- Standing Doggy – You bend over (against a wall, couch, or bed) while he enters you from behind while standing. This position feels spontaneous and a little naughty, like you couldn’t wait to get to the bedroom. The angle is deep and intense, and the standing position adds a thrill of urgency. You can push back against him or let him take control. It’s great for quick, passionate sessions or when you want to feel dominated in a sexy way.
- The Edge – You lie on the edge of the bed with your legs hanging off while he stands and enters you. This gives him full control of the depth and speed while you can completely relax and enjoy the sensation. The angle is excellent for hitting your G-spot, and the standing position adds a sense of power and urgency. You can look up at him or close your eyes and focus on how deep he feels. Many women say this position makes them feel both taken and completely cared for.
- Face-Down Ass-Up – She’s on her knees with her chest and face pressed into the bed, ass up high. This position offers maximum depth and a very submissive, exposed feeling that many men (and women) find extremely arousing. The angle is perfect for deep, powerful thrusts while still being comfortable for her.

“I’d been fantasizing about going balls deep in her asshole for so long. One night she got on all fours, looked back at me with that naughty smile, and said ‘Don’t hold back.’ I eased in at first, but once I felt her loosen up, I gave her everything. Thrusting hard, watching her ass taking my dick. The way her tight hole gripped me was insane. When I finally emptied inside her and pulled out she was gaping, pink and open. She looked back at me, breathing hard, and whispered ‘Again.’ I’ve never been so turned on in my life.” — Matt, 36
Make It Better
- Use lots of lube — the wetter everything feels, the more you can both relax and enjoy.
- Add dirty talk while you’re in these positions. A few naughty words can make them even hotter.
- Start slow and build — let him savor the new sensations.
- Keep eye contact in the face-to-face ones — it makes everything more intense and connected.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Rushing straight into the position without enough warm-up and lube.
- Staying silent — he wants to know you’re enjoying it too.
- Thinking these positions are only for him — most of them feel amazing for you as well.
- Comparing yourself to porn — these are real-life moves that feel better than they look on camera.
