X-and-Ohh your way to a new take on penetration, offering superior depth control and some intense eye contact for a truly intimate session with your lover. Making a sexy X, this position is a variation on scissoring that involves penetration rather than rubbing your genitals together.
How?
The top – the one doing the penetration with a strap-on or penis – lies on their back, while the bottom (the one receiving penetration) slots between their legs and lowers themself onto the shaft.
You may like to add some lube before penetration for a smooth glide. Meanwhile, your hands are free to stroke, pinch, and feel your lover’s legs (for the giver) and chest (for the receiver).
Enhance this X-and-Ohh position
Why?
The X-and-Ohh combines the criss-cross genital contact of scissoring, the depth control of Reverse Cowgirl, and the eye contact of Missionary. It seems simple but does a lot!
The receiver can maneuver themselves all or partially down the giver’s shaft, offering a lot of control. As the giver, you’ll get an incredible view of the receiver's genitals, spread and aroused, while they receive the delicious penetration.
It's a great position for G-Spot stimulation for a receiver with a vagina, or for P-spot stimulation for a receiver with a penis, as the receiver’s the one controlling the depth and positioning of penetration.
It can really intensify intimacy by having prolonged eye contact, allowing you to convey to each other how much you’re enjoying it, or engage in some top-tier dirty talk. Locking eyes during orgasm is particularly sensual and makes it more likely you’ll both climax at the same time.
Make it even easier
For a less athletic variation, the receiver can rest their hands/butt on the bed or ground behind them; to heighten the eye and skin contact, the giver can clasp hands with the receiver and pull them forwards. A pillow propped up under the giver’s butt as they lie down can lift them higher up, making it easier to maintain the position, especially if you’re on a hard surface.
Make it even better
If the receiver has a penis, they could try massaging it with a well-lubed Arcwave stroker while receiving anal sex. If the giver has a penis, they may like to use a penis ring to maintain erection for longer – this may help extend the sexy session, allowing them to enjoy their partner riding their shaft for longer.
If the receiver has a vulva, this is the perfect position for using a clitoral stimulator, with plenty of access to your clitoris while you enjoy intimate eye contact and satisfying penetration.
Make it even kinkier
As the receiver rides their partner’s shaft, they can reach down and squeeze the giver’s nipples, adding another form of exciting stimulation that you can both enjoy.
The giver could try wearing a vibrating anal plug while they penetrate their partner, adding an extra, irresistible layer of stimulation to what’s already a stellar experience.
Not the position for you?
We're working to make sure that everyone is represented on our website, regardless of who you love, so we'll be using a variety of gender depictions in our Position of the Week posts. This will include straight, gay, lesbian, and gender neutral couples, but all positions will have details in the description of how to make them work for your own relationship dynamic.
