Step-by-Step Guide

The receiving partner lies on their back and raises both legs as far back toward their head as comfortable — the legs create the "depth" angle.

A firm wedge or pillow under the hips elevates the pelvis, steepening the angle for maximum penetration depth.

The penetrating partner kneels and holds the receiving partner's legs at the ankles or calves, controlling the backward fold.

Enter at the extreme upward angle created by the folded legs — this position achieves the deepest penetration possible by straightening the vaginal canal.

Use very slow, controlled thrusts — the extreme depth means every millimeter matters. Check in constantly about comfort and depth.

Use generous lubricant and keep sessions extremely brief — this position creates intense pressure and should only be attempted by experienced couples.

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 Depth position:

Forcing legs past comfortable flexibility

The leg fold should reach only as far as the receiving partner can comfortably go. Pushing beyond causes severe hamstring strain and hip pain.

Thrusting too deep too fast

This position achieves maximum possible depth. Even shallow thrusts feel deep here — starting with full-depth strokes risks cervical contact and pain.
