A wheelbarrow variation with the receiver on a surface.

Medically Reviewed by Dr. James Chen, Board-Certified OB/GYN

Penetration: Deep

Stimulation: G-spot

About This Position

A variation where the receiving partner supports their upper body on a bed or table while the penetrating partner lifts their legs. This modified wheelbarrow is slightly easier than the original while maintaining deep penetration.

Best For

Deep penetrationModified acrobaticsControl

Clitoral Stimulation

Minimal clitoral stimulation from the modified wheelbarrow position.

Difficult to access the clitoris while supporting body weight.

G-Spot Stimulation

Good G-spot stimulation from the steep angle of entry.

The downward angle targets the anterior wall effectively.

Step-by-Step Guide

The receiving partner supports their upper body on a bed or table edge, with forearms or hands on the surface. The arms, shoulders, and core bear the upper body weight.

Tip: The surface height should align with the receiving partner's hips for the best angle.

The penetrating partner lifts the receiving partner's legs from behind, holding them at the hips or thighs. The steep downward angle is created by the leg elevation.

Tip: The G-spot is rated 4/5 — the steep angle targets the anterior wall effectively.

Enter while the receiving partner's legs are held up. The surface provides support, making this easier than the original wheelbarrow position.

Tip: The penetrating partner's glutes and core provide the lifting and thrusting power.

The surface provides support, making this easier than the original wheelbarrow. The receiving partner's upper body is supported, reducing arm fatigue.

Tip: The hands-supporting-weight body contact point is with the bed surface, not the floor.

The receiving partner should support their weight on their arms or forearms. The arms tire more slowly with surface support than the full wheelbarrow.

Tip: If the arms fatigue, the receiving partner can lower to their forearms for more stability.

Use a bed or table at a comfortable height. The surface must be stable and able to support the receiving partner's weight.

Tip: The penetrating partner controls all depth and movement in this position.

Keep sessions brief and switch positions when tired. Even with surface support, the arm and core engagement is significant.

Tip: This is a Hard difficulty position — the modified support makes it easier than the original but still demanding.

Safety & Precautions

Warnings

! Requires a surface at the right height.
! Still requires some upper body strength from the receiving partner.

Modifications

* Use a bed or table at a comfortable height.
* The receiving partner should support their weight on their arms.

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 Wheelbarrow 2 position:

Using a surface that's too high or too low

The surface height must align with the receiving partner's hips. Too high creates an uncomfortable angle; too low forces the receiving partner to hunch. Adjust the surface height first.

The receiving partner collapsing on their arms

Even with surface support, the arms bear significant weight. If the arms give out, the position collapses. Build arm strength or switch to forearms before fatigue sets in.

The penetrating partner losing grip on the legs

If the penetrating partner loses their grip, the receiving partner drops. Maintain a firm, secure hold on the hips or thighs throughout.

Not using the surface advantage

The whole point of this variation is the surface support. If the receiving partner lifts their upper body off the surface, they lose the advantage and it becomes the harder original wheelbarrow.
