Flatiron position: a variant of the doggy style closer to the bed

The Flatiron position resembles a very low doggy style: the penetrated person is lying on the belly while the partner is behind or above. This configuration brings the bodies closer together and changes the penetration angle.

How to place yourself?

The penetrated person lies face against the bed, legs extended or slightly apart. A small cushion under the pelvis can raise the hips if it improves comfort.

The partner stands behind, knees on either side of the legs or slightly on the side, then progresses gradually. The hands remain in support to control the weight of the body and avoid crushing the lying partner.

The angle can be adjusted by spreading the legs, placing a cushion under the pelvis or slightly straightening the torso.

What are the advantages?

As the bodies remain very close, the movements are often shorter than in a classic doggy style. This reduced amplitude can give a feeling of continuous pressure and facilitate a slow pace.

Flatiron Sex Position

Depending on the anatomy, the position can also change the pressure on the anterior wall of the vagina. It is not possible to guarantee that it will precisely stimulate a «G zone», but changing the angle is sometimes enough to create new sensations.

Add a sex toy

A vibrating penis ring can provide external vibration depending on the position. A small bullet held near the clitoris can also complete penetration when the space between the bodies allows it.

If the external stimulation becomes difficult because the partners are too close together, place the vibrator before you install or choose a very thin model.

The Flatiron position is a good option for couples who like penetration from behind but want more body contact. Adjust the height of the pelvis and the depth until you find a pleasant angle, without weighing the full weight of the partner on the lying person.
