Both partners stretch beforehand — the receiving partner needs flexible hamstrings and hip flexors to raise legs straight up. Warm up with gentle stretching for 5 minutes.

The receiving partner lies on their back and raises both legs straight up toward the ceiling, keeping them together. The penetrating partner kneels at the feet end.

The penetrating partner gently takes hold of the receiving partner's ankles, using them as leverage and control points.

Enter slowly at a steep upward angle — the raised legs create a deep angle that targets the deep spot and anterior wall simultaneously.

The penetrating partner controls the depth by adjusting how far they pull the ankles toward them, while the receiving partner communicates about comfort.
