Stand and Deliver: 5 Standing Sex Positions

We should spend less time sitting, according to experts. To help you utilize your feet, here are five desirable standing sex positions.

Not having a bed on hand? Not even a chair? Is the table not sturdy enough? Is the pool being cleaned? Is your favorite dungeon furniture in need of some polishing?

Well, let's not be fools: while standing up for sex is a fantastic option for a variety of circumstances, it can also be a lot of fun on its own!

Here is our guide to the positions and things to look out for when having sex on your own two feet, so don't hesitate any longer!

A Quick Word of Warning

Before we get to the fun part, let's clear up a few things: when you wish to play standing up, there are some critical safety considerations to make.

The good news is that they are "important things to remember" rather than "OMG disaster!" mishaps.

The first, and perhaps most apparent, is that it can occasionally be challenging to keep your balance when you're playing around standing up, especially since you'll be thinking about other, far sexier things.

Additionally, your legs may become shaky after you and your companion are done.

For this reason, make an effort to pay attention to your surroundings! Avoid harsh, sharp-edged furniture, tough flooring, glass doors, tabletops that close dangerously, and similar items.

A little protection should be in order if any of these are present where you'll be playing around; blankets, pillows, chair cushions, and the like are ideal. A small amount of precaution is still necessary, even if it is only to place a few soft objects on the floor, even without any evident environmental hazards.

This is true even if you use a wall as leverage because there is always a chance that someone would collapse abruptly thereafter.

Now that we've cleared that up, let's move on to the first and most basic standing sex position: all hands on deck.

Mutual Masturbation

Okay, so that "all hands on deck" phrase was (at best) far too ridiculous, but the concept is sound; experimenting with mutual masturbation is a great way to start vertical sex.

The main advantage is that it's an excellent method to practice your balancing abilities before attempting something more complex. The fact that jacking and/or jilling off with someone can be highly stimulating is an even greater advantage.

What you and your partner are willing to try will determine how. Self-masturbation can be done with a partner observing or participating in kissing, breast play, buttock kneading, rubbing, and/or caressing, or you can do it together.

Additionally, you can masturbate, which can be pretty stimulating if your levels of eagerness coincide. Fun, and more fun!

Putting Your Mouth to Work

With one person standing (receiving) and one kneeling in front of the other (giving), the following position to try is oral, which is clear given the section's name.

This can sometimes be a little challenging for people who have vaginas on the receiving end, given the balancing issue. Since maintaining a freestanding stance can be difficult, it is advised to consider leaning against a wall instead.

Instead of collapsing into a heap on the floor, you can slide down the wall when the time comes.

The giving person can simultaneously enjoy themselves, which is another excellent aspect of this role. An incredibly thrilling vertical sex scene is guaranteed when you consider that both parties can use a range of sex toys.

The Leaning Penetration

You should give this job a try if you enjoy partner penetration!

In this scenario, one partner penetrates them while the other leans against a wall or other comparable surface. Usually, it can be done face-to-face if both parties are flexible and extremely strong.

Finding the ideal angle is crucial in this situation, and it typically depends on the style of sex play (vaginal, anal, etc.) and the body types and/or physical constraints of all parties.

For some people, this may mean standing almost straight up, while for others, it may mean adjusting the angles to make it comfortable.

By the way, even though this part is titled "The leaning penetration," the emphasis need not be on the actual insertion of anything. There are always great choices for frottage, sex with clothes, rubbing genitalia together, or using sex gadgets, such as strap-ons.

A Leg Up

The next is, you guessed it, a perfect leg-up, which involves raising one leg into more complex positions.

You're not incorrect if you believe that penetration could be the aim of this, but don't assume that's all it needs to be, much like with "the leaning penetration" position before this.

With the partners facing each other, the aim is for one to lift a leg to improve access to their genital area while the other locks their arms around their neck to raise themselves, relieving them of some of the strain of doing all the lifting.

Again, a wall is an excellent option for this one because many people, even with a partner's assistance, find it challenging to balance on one leg.

The Full Embrace

Although this posture requires a significant amount of strength and technique, like with many of these positions, it is helpful to use a wall or other form of support.

This position can be considered "a leg up" plus one; it's a logical development from lifting one leg to both. The receiving partner supports themselves by locking their arms around their partner's neck, just like in the previous position.

About support, think about utilizing a sex swing so that one partner can stand while the other is fully supported and at ease.

Standing Tall

You don't need an excuse to try standing sex, regardless of the cause!

As with everything and everything related to sensual play, the key is to experiment, figure out what works for you, and work out the kinks (or put them in).

Go out there and try this, that, and a lot more while our essay is done (for the time being).

Be careful! Remember that occasionally things don't work out, but above all, enjoy yourself whether standing, sitting, lying down, or in between!
