When you're having penis-in-vagina sex, it can be tricky to maneuver when someone clocks in under or around your same height: If you’re into eye contact and forward-facing positions, for example, you might be disappointed to find a shorter-torso-having partner bumps up against your chin. When you’re riding on top, you might find you have to crane your neck way down to reach your partner’s face.
Luckily, as far as coital imbalances go, there are some easy fixes.
In general, the positions that seem best suited to partners with height differences, regardless of their genders, are those that don’t involve face-to-face contact and instead put your genitals on the same plane. So if you are a person who towers over your companion, here are six solutions to make sex a little less awkward.
1. Man’s Best Friend
For this one, choose a surface that hits your partner at waist level. Perch yourself on that with your legs spread while he positions himself in front of you for standing sex that puts your pelvises on the same level.
3. Downward Dog
Lying face down, with a pillow under your pelvis or your butt pitched slightly in the air, have your partner thrust into you from behind. In downward dog, there’s excellent potential for G-spot stimulation, plus the added pressure that comes from your weight bearing down on your clit as you grind against the bed or a hand. And when you’re not trying to stare into one another’s eyes, it doesn’t matter that your torso is a little too long for that anyway.
4. Cross Buttocks
Here’s a sexy option that might also build arm muscle, if you’re into that sort of thing: The seated wheelbarrow, which renders your heights irrelevant. Have your dude sit on the edge of a sturdy surface and position yourself so that you’re ass-up in his lap, with your hands planted firmly on the floor. Stretch your legs out behind his waist (it’ll probably work better if he supports your thighs) and pump away.
6. Spider
