Step-by-Step Guide
The receiving partner lies on their back, relaxed and open — this position is entirely about their pleasure, so they should feel comfortable communicating their needs.
The penetrating partner positions themselves to prioritize the receiver's pleasure — ask what angle feels best, adjust positioning based on their feedback before entering.
Enter at the angle the receiving partner indicates feels best for G-spot stimulation — the penetrating partner's role here is to serve, not to control.
Pay close attention to the receiver's breathing, sounds, and body language — when they react positively to a particular rhythm or angle, stay there.
Don't stop what's working — when you find the right spot and rhythm, maintain it. The Ladies' Man prioritizes the receiver's orgasm over the giver's preferred pace.
Use hands to add clitoral stimulation that complements the G-spot rhythm — the dual stimulation creates the most intense orgasms in this receiver-focused position.

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 Ladies' Man position:
Prioritizing the penetrating partner's pleasure
The Ladies' Man is designed for the receiver's pleasure. If the penetrating partner reverts to their own preferred rhythm, pace, or angle, they've abandoned the position's purpose.
Not asking what angle works
Every body is different. The penetrating partner should ask "does this angle feel good?" before and during, rather than guessing or assuming standard positioning works.
Changing what's working
When the receiving partner responds positively to a specific rhythm or angle, the penetrating partner should NOT change it to try something new. Stay consistent.
Expecting equal stimulation for the giver
This position intentionally prioritizes one partner's pleasure. The giver may feel less stimulated — this is by design. Take turns using this position for fairness.
Variations to Try
Once you've mastered the basic Ladies' Man, these variations can add new sensations and keep things exciting:
Add a Pillow
Place a pillow under the receiving partner's hips to change the angle of penetration and enhance stimulation.
Incorporate Manual Stimulation
Use hands to add clitoral or other external stimulation during the position for enhanced pleasure.
Slow Down the Pace
Switch from thrusting to grinding for a more intimate, sensation-focused experience.
Try Different Surfaces
Move from the bed to a couch, standing, or against a wall for different angles and experiences.
