Step-by-Step Guide

The receiving partner sits on a sturdy bench, chair, or bed edge with their feet flat on the floor — the sturdy support is what makes this position reliable and comfortable.

The penetrating partner stands or kneels in front of the seated receiving partner, aligning their hips for easy entry.

The receiving partner wraps their legs around the penetrating partner's waist or holds them open — the seated position creates a natural upward angle for deep penetration.

The receiving partner controls the depth by shifting their weight on the bench — leaning forward increases depth, leaning back reduces it.

The penetrating partner holds the receiving partner's hips for stability while they experiment with different rocking rhythms on the solid surface.
