Step-by-Step Guide

1

Establish clear boundaries, safe words, and consent — Prison Guard is a restraint-based position that requires explicit agreement about control levels.

2

The receiving partner lies on their back — the guard positions themselves above, holding the receiver's wrists or arms to create the restrained, controlled dynamic.

3

The penetrating partner pins the receiver's arms gently but firmly above their head or to the sides — the restraint is part of the position's controlling energy.

4

Enter while maintaining the restraining hold — the combination of physical restraint and penetration creates the intense Prison Guard dynamic.

5

Maintain the dominant position while checking in about comfort — the restraining hold should be firm enough to feel controlled, not so tight it causes pain.

6

Aftercare is essential — release the restraint, comfort each other, and check in emotionally after the intensity of the controlled 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 Prison Guard position:

Gripping too tightly during restraint

The restraining hold should be firm enough to feel controlled but not so tight it restricts circulation or causes pain. Safety is paramount in restraint play.

Ignoring the safe word

In restraint positions, the receiving partner may not be able to physically resist. The safe word is their only way to communicate limits. Always honor it immediately.

Not checking in during restraint

The restrained partner may not be able to verbally communicate discomfort easily. The controlling partner must actively watch for signs of distress and ask regularly.

Skipping aftercare

Intense restraint play can bring up strong emotions. Skipping aftercare leaves the restrained partner feeling vulnerable rather than cherished.

Variations to Try

Once you've mastered the basic Prison Guard, 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.
