Basic Wall Standing Sex Position

From Cory Silverberg,
Your Guide to Sexuality

This position refers to penetration with both partners standing, and one partner using a wall to support themselves while being penetrated by their partner. Face the wall, bending a bit at the waist, and depending on comfort and height, bending your knees. You may have just their hands, or possibly your forearms pressing against the wall (in a sort of stereotypical “frisking” pose from TV cop shows). Your partner is behind you facing the wall as well, penetration is from behind.

Variations on the Wall Standing Sex Position:

There are several variations with this position, including:

-Facing each other, with one partners back against the wall, and one or both of their legs wrapped around their partners waist, hands on their partners shoulders -One partner facing the wall, completely hugging it, being penetrated from behind. This variation includes an interesting feeling of confinement.

• -As with all standing sex positions, this one can be great for quickie sex.
• -You can use the wall for support and push off it, allowing the partner against the wall more strength to guide the penetration.
• -Lots of fantasy role play potential with this position.
• -If you have strong leg muscles you can vary the angle and strength of penetration without extra strain on your hips.

Cons of the Wall Standing Sex Position:

• -Requires significant leg muscle strength for the basic position
• -Requires flexibility
• -Most of the physical contact is with the upper body, and when you are facing away from each other, the partner facing the wall doesn’t get to touch very much.
• -Some people find this position tiring and won’t use it for an entire session, or won’t orgasm in this position.

Extra Tips for the Wall Standing Sex Position:

• -You can easily change the angle of penetration simply by bending your knees
• -Change the depth of penetration by holding up one of your partner’s legs (if you’re the one doing the penetration). You can crook the back of their knee where your elbow is for more support.
• -Make use of the fantasy clichés we all have in our heads. This position evokes a more aggressive sexual situation, and can be used by both partners to explore a bit of power play during penetration.
