The Crisscross Position

The crisscross is a rear-entry position in which the recipient lies on their side with their legs spread apart, facing away from the giver. At a right angle to their partner, the giver also rests on their side. Anal and vaginal sex can both benefit from this position.

The X position is another name for the crossing position.

More About The Crisscross Position

Sitting on the bed with your legs extended, face each other to assume this position. The receiving partner raises their right leg over the penetrating partner's left leg, while the penetrating partner raises their left leg over the receiving partner's right leg. From here, the two partners make an X by entering together and lying back. Since this position prevents regular thrusting, gentle gyrations are used instead. For deeper penetration, partners might pull each other together by reaching out and holding hands.
