Step-by-Step Guide

The penetrating partner sits on a sturdy surface with feet flat on the floor, creating a stable base for the grinding motion that defines this position.

The receiving partner sits on the penetrating partner's lap facing away, lowering themselves onto the penis while their back rests against the penetrating partner's chest.

The receiving partner begins grinding in wide, circular motions — like an eraser on paper — pressing their clitoris against the pubic bone with each rotation.

Lean back slightly to shift the angle forward, increasing clitoral contact; lean forward to reduce pressure and focus on internal G-spot sensation instead.

The receiving partner controls the entire experience — speed, pressure, angle, and rhythm — while the penetrating partner provides the base and matches the energy.

The penetrating partner can reach around to caress the receiving partner's breasts or add manual clitoral stimulation to complement the grinding motion.

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 Eraser position:

Bouncing instead of grinding

Eraser is defined by its circular grinding motion. Bouncing up and down misses the sustained clitoral contact that creates the "erasing" sensation.

Sitting too upright without leaning

The receiving partner should experiment with leaning forward or back to find the angle that creates the most clitoral friction. Staying rigidly upright limits sensation.

The penetrating partner thrusting

This position puts the receiving partner in full control. The penetrating partner thrusting disrupts the grinding rhythm and takes control away from the person on top.
