Let’s talk about sex positions.
Whether you’re just starting out with a new partner or looking to spice things up with an old flame, this series of guides is for you.
Next we have one of the best bump positions there: Speed Bump.
Speed bump:
The Speed Bump is easy to master and promises deep fun without the risk of muscle tears or having to engage in intensive exercise.
In short, it is a simplified version of doggy styleand involves one partner lying on their stomach with a pillow under their hips while the other kneels behind them, ready for penetration.
The “speed bump” gets its name from the rise created by the pillow wedged under the receiving partner’s pelvis. Just like a real speed bump, this position is designed to slow things down…mmmhmmm.
In reality, the Speed Bump is widely understood as a princess pillow Dream, because it’s a lot like doggy style, but without the extra effort of staying on your knees. The receiving partner just lies there while the thrusting partner does all the work.
Bonus: If you’re looking for a sex position that lets you explore Power dynamicsThe Speed Bump is well suited, as it gives control to the pushing partner (albeit with constant communication and consentalways!).
Note on conditions:
When we talk about penetration, we use the terms “penetration partner” for the person who owns the penis (biological or synthetic) and “penetration partner” for the person who accepts the act of penetration (vaginal or anal). In this article, the receiver is also called “the rider” for reasons that should be obvious.
It is important to note that being a receiver is not a passive, submissive role. It is an active, enthusiastic role. There is power in choice, and by choosing to invite their partner into themselves, the receiver exercises that power.
Additionally, the pushing partner is not just a giver. Of course, they also receive pleasure during the act. But for the sake of clarity and consistency, we have selected these terms for both sides of the dynamic.
How to do:
The receiving partner lies on their stomach, face down, with a pillow or bolster under the hips, while the thrusting partner kneels and enters them from behind.
The receiving partner can choose to keep their legs spread or close together, depending on their personal preference. Having their legs spread will allow for deeper penetration, which can be pleasurable for some, but painful for others. At the same time, keeping the legs closer together creates more of a feeling of tension, while allowing less depth.
Once the receiving partner is in position, the thrusting partner kneels behind them or bends over to get into a tabletop position with their hands placed on either side of their partner’s chest. Either way, they are now in position to explore penetration. The receiving partner can relax as their partner enters from behind while holding their hips for support.
The partner pushing from behind can, of course, also reach out to provide manual clitoral stimulation, kiss their partner’s back and neck, or even rest their head on their partner to create slow, intimate tension—whatever helps both partners enjoy this bumpy ride.
The pillow propping the receiving partner’s booty up in the air provides a more accessible angle for the thrusting partner to penetrate – note that this position works great for the vagina or anal sexIn fact, it also makes a delicious oral sex position, if the pushing partner needs a break, well, push.
Reasons why we love it:
– Almost effortless: the receiving partner can relax while feeling deeply
– Much more intimate than traditional doggy style, it is often compared to spooning, the cuddling position known to promote closeness.
– The positioning of the pillow facilitates stimulation of the G point on the anterior wall of the vagina
– Allows for deeper penetration, making it ideal for those who like depth. It is also ideal for penetration with a smaller penis
– The pushing partner has a great view of the receiving partner’s beautiful ass
– Perfect for partners who like the feeling of hard, ‘punching’ sex, as the pillow helps absorb some of the shock
Variations to try
Speed bump with the pushing partner lying flat
Instead of kneeling or lying on a table, the partner can lie flat on top of their partner to allow for a different angle of penetration and maximum skin-to-skin contact. When done right, this moment is really hot and steamy all over.
This variation is great for increased intimacy and may be more exciting for some. That said, it may not work for people who find their partner’s weight too much.
Spoon sex
To try spooning, both partners lie on their sides, facing the same direction, in a spoon cuddle positionwhile the front partner bends their knees, pulling them toward their hips. The pushing partner then enters from behind, wrapping their arms around the receiving partner in a warm embrace as they do, or holding each other by the hips.
An equally undemanding variation of the Speed Bump, this one is perfect for those seeking next-level intimacy and closeness without sacrificing deep stimulation.
Wonderful woman
For this variation, the receiving partner’s upper body rests on the edge of the bed while the pushing partner holds their legs and enters from behind.
Depending on your respective heights, your bed may be too high or too low for this variation, but the right pillow arrangement can make it perfect. This variation has a twist: the pushing partner has a fantastic view of their partner’s back, and the receiving partner can pretend to fly if that’s their thing.
Other tips and tricks:
– For a more stable ride, the pushing partner can take the trouble to place his legs outside his partner’s legs.
– To integrate clitoral vibrations to enhance clitoral stimulation by placing toys like the Soft Touch Ball between the receiving partner and the pillow.
– For additional clitoral stimulation without a toy or means of contact, the receiving partner can move their hips and rub their clitoris on the pillow.
– Especially in the case of height differences, you may want to stack several pillows so that the receiving partner is as comfortable as possible.
– For added depth and stimulation, the receiving partner can hold their buttocks apart, allowing for better access and enhanced view. <3
