The Deckchair Sex Position: How to Do It & Why It’s So Good

Riding cowgirl got an upgrade – with the Deckchair sex position. This variation of a seated sex position offers a new way to lean back and soak up the sensations during sex. It may be named after deck furniture, but this sex position is comfortable for a variety of bodies. With one riding partner, the Deckchair sex position allows the receiving partner to lean back for frontal stimulation.

Who is the Deckchair sex position good for?

The Deckchair sex position is great for those who need extra clitoral stimulation. With the torso elongated, there is lots of space to play with the clitoris. And if you love the g-spot stimulation of seated sex positions, the Deckchair hits the spot.

How to do the Deckchair sex position?

To get into the Deckchair sex position, the receiver should lie down on a comfortable surface. Place a pillow under the head to help avoid getting knocked with feet during an intense thrust. Comfy? Now the penetrating partner sits opposite and slides their legs down the sides of the receiver. In place? Now it's best to lay down so that the receiver's feet can rest on the giver's shoulders. Once settled, the penetrating partner can use their hands to prop themselves up. This will also lift the receiving partner's legs.

It's going to be a bit of a team effort to get consistent motion. The penetrating partner can create motion using the support from their hands. For extra power, they can also use their glutes and quads to thrust. The receiver can also control thrusting in two ways. By holding their hips, they can raise and lower themselves. Or they can use their calf muscles to push down on the shoulders and raise their pelvis.

What are the benefits of the Deckchair sex position?

The Deckchair sex position may be all hands (and legs) on deck, but there is a lot of enjoyment to be had too. This sex position offers the ability to grind on (or into) a partner. Grinding helps increase friction between the bodies for added stimulation. Penetration isn’t the only sensation at play here – you've got the surrounding areas as well. This sensation is amplified for the receiver. With their legs upright, more blood flow goes to the pelvic area. The added blood flow can help to make the sensation in Deckchair even more intense, whilst helping to relax the muscles.

Make the Deckchair sex position even hotter with a sex toy

Talking about sensation… let’s take the Deckchair sex position to the next level by including a toy (or two!). Using a sex toy can help add more sensation and excitement to any sex position. If you’re receiving internal stimulation, try an external toy…or vice versa.
