Experts Say This Is Best Anal Sex Position To Maximise Pleasure And Minimise Pain

If you're a control-freak, you're going to love this position. When we think about anal sex - our thoughts are usually more focused on surviving, not thriving. But according to sexologist and relationship expert Carlen Costa, Ph.D., anal sex can be an enjoyable, varied experience - it's NOT just about doggy style. The key here, is control. When the female can control the pace, depth and angles of penetration, booty sex has the potential to be thoroughly pleasurable for all involved. The position Costa favours is called "The Matterhorn" and she ensures Women's Health that it is "totally control-freak friendly." She explains that the position serves to "widen your hips" and enables you to regulate the intensity of penetration and the closeness between you and your partner." How it's done Costa recommends piling pillows up in front of you and leaning over them with your hands on top. "In this position, your torso should be at a 45-degree angle, perpendicular to the bed or floor. Kneel with your legs spread more than hip-distance apart, and have your partner enter you from behind." The kind folk at Women's Health created this demonstrative image, (in case you're wondering, that's the Matterhorn mountain in the background). Although this might sound very similar to doggy-style, Costa explains that the upward angle of your chest makes all the difference. She says: "Although this is similar to doggy style in that he is behind you, this position allows you to hold your body up at a straighter angle. "This gives you the power to rock yourself back and forth while your partner presses their body against yours." The great thing about this position is that the clitoris is easily stimulated, "so you can achieve a fantastic blended orgasm". Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.
