Step-by-Step Guide

1

The receiving partner lies on their side with legs pressed together tightly, while the penetrating partner enters from above at a sharp downward angle — the blade-like angle is created by the side-lying compressed legs.

2

The penetrating partner positions their body perpendicular to the receiving partner, creating a sharp, cutting angle of entry that slices along the anterior wall toward the deep spot.

3

Enter with precise, controlled movements — the blade metaphor means sharp, exact entry rather than gentle or gradual insertion.

4

Maintain the sharp angle throughout thrusts — the side-lying compressed legs create a narrow, blade-like passage that rewards precise, angular movements over depth.

5

The receiving partner keeps their legs tightly compressed throughout, maintaining the sharp, cutting sensation that defines the blade position.

6

Use lubricant generously — the tight, blade-like angle creates significant friction, and comfort depends on adequate slickness for the sharp movements.

Safety & Precautions

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even with the right technique, small errors can reduce pleasure or increase injury risk. Here are the most common mistakes couples make with the Blade position:

Entering at the wrong angle

The blade position requires the penetrating partner to be perpendicular to the receiving partner. Entering at a parallel angle misses the sharp, cutting angle entirely.

Opening the legs

The compressed, tight legs create the blade-like passage. Opening the legs removes the sharp, cutting sensation and turns it into standard side-entry.

Using gentle, gradual movements

Blade is about sharp, precise, cutting sensations. Gentle, gradual entry contradicts the blade's sharp, exacting nature.

Neglecting lubrication

The tight, sharp angle creates intense friction. Without generous lubricant, the blade-like movements can cause discomfort or chafing.

Variations to Try

Once you've mastered the basic Blade, these variations can add new sensations and keep things exciting:

1

Add a Pillow

Place a pillow under the receiving partner's hips to change the angle of penetration and enhance stimulation.

2

Incorporate Manual Stimulation

Use hands to add clitoral or other external stimulation during the position for enhanced pleasure.

3

Slow Down the Pace

Switch from thrusting to grinding for a more intimate, sensation-focused experience.

4

Try Different Surfaces

Move from the bed to a couch, standing, or against a wall for different angles and experiences.
