How to: The receiver lies face down on the bed with their knees slightly bent and hips slightly raised. For comfort, and to increase the angle of their hips, they can place a pillow under their lower abs. The giver enters them from behind and keeps their weight off the receiver’s body with their arms. This position creates a snug fit, making the giver’s shaft feel larger to their partner.
Benefits: The Flatiron delivers all the benefits of doggy style with added pressure, intensity, and clitoral/pubic mound engagement, says Tomchesson, which helps make penetration more pleasurable. And to increase internal pressure and sensation, the receiver can lightly press their pelvis downward into the bed, Wright adds. Alternatively, the receiver can place a pillow under their lower abs to increase the angle of their hips, Tomchesson says, changing the angle and depth of penetration.
For a tip: “Because the receiver in this position is fully flat and their legs are usually together, this is an excellent position for slow, deep thrusts rather than speed,” Wright says, adding that a little extra lube makes the glide smoother and more pleasurable.
Make it hotter: “With the receiver lying flat and the giver pressing them into the bed, there’s a sense of being held or ‘pinned,’ opening the door to power play or a light kinky dynamic,” Wright says, adding that this can make this rear-entry position feel even more intimate and intense. For example, the receiving partner can consent to having their hands tied or being blindfolded to lean into the power-play dynamic.
