This short 3-minute read will explore only the best positions for anal masturbation you can do to make the most out of pleasurable anal play. So, sit back, get undressed, and make this sexual experience the best yet.

Pro Tip: All sexual positions come with pictures and illustrations, so it’s easy to try them yourself in the bedroom.

1. Missionary

To kick things off your anal experience – go missionary. You can’t go wrong with this classic, tried and tested position for any sexual endeavor, and it’s my pick as the best position for anal masturbation.

When you’re down in the missionary position, you can easily rub your entire body, meaning there’s enough room to hit all your other erogenous zones in just one position.

How To Do It:

1. For anal masturbation, missionary works the same. You simply have to lie on your back with your legs spread out. You have the option to bend your knees if that’s more comfortable for you. You’ll know your body is ready when you feel as relaxed as possible.
2. Get your hands on silicone-based lube (the right lube for safe anal masturbation). Next, apply a generous amount to your finger or favorite anal sex toy (butt plug, cock ring, anal beads, prostate massagers, or anal vibrators).
3. Reach your hand from underneath your back until you reach your anus. Gently begin inserting your finger or anal sex toy. You can stimulate your anus by making rotating movements or penetrating in and out.

Pro Tip: Take your pillow and place it on your lower back to support yourself. Doing so also makes your back curved, which you’re looking for because your rectum (the chamber that connects to the anus) straightens out. You’re getting a more pleasure-packed ride when your back is curved.

2. Doggy Style

Doggy style is one of the sexiest ways to explore your anus. You’re in more control over your hips and booty movement, making manual stimulation allow for deeper penetration and higher sexual pleasure.

And who doesn’t enjoy that?

How To Do It:

1. For back door masturbation in doggy, you simply have to get on your hands and knees with your body evenly distributed. You are also free to bend your forearms almost like a half plank position to make this even more comfortable.
2. After settling into the doggy position, reach your lubricated finger or anal sex toy and begin stimulating your erogenous zones to arouse yourself.
3. When aroused, anal stimulation feels good and becomes a lot more carnal. You’re less likely to tire yourself out during your anal masturbation session.

Pro Tip: Like our missionary tip, you may also take a pillow, place it on your stomach (lower ab), and have your upper body resting on your bed. It’s the great thing about this style – there are several variations to do it while still hitting your G-spot or a spot every time.

3. Spooning Position

Before you call this position boring – we’re here to prove just the opposite. Spooning is a sexy and straightforward position you can build up on to make your experience even hotter.

It takes no effort to get into the spooning position, yet you’re in a highly flexible spot to touch your whole body. When you’re especially tight in the morning – spooning is the simplest way to loosen you up while masturbating.

How To Do It:

1. To get to this popular sex position, lie on your side with your lower legs curved in front of you. Almost as if you were in a half-moon shape or fetus position.
2. Stimulate yourself with the most pleasurable methods, whether penetration, rotation, or pulsation. Then, you can take your hand to begin touching your anus. If your knees are bent, you have access to your anus opening more fully.
3. Ladies, you can perform anal stimulation, clitoral stimulation, and vaginal stimulation for a trigasm if you’re up for it.
4. As for male anal masturbation, massage your prostate gland (walnut-sized gland) to hit that spot.

Pro Tip: If you’re feeling a bit more frisky, you can lift your top leg and bend it over your shin or lift it directly straight up in a wide V. You can also explore the seated spoon position where you sit with the edge of your ass cheeks on your bed and your upper body leaning forward. You can take your free hand and begin playing with your butt cheeks, penis tip, or clitoris.

4. Double Penetration

Are you ready to take it to the next level? Try double penetration! Double penetration is as straightforward as it sounds – you’re using two anal sex toys, one in the anus and one in the vagina, for double the pleasure. It might sound intimidating, but start small, and we’re here to walk you through your anal exploration safely.

When it comes to double penetration (DP), there is no singular correct position. You can do this in many different ways to have access to the entrance of your ass hole quicker. Some ways to stimulate through double penetration are:

• Wishbone
• Cowgirl
• Reverse cowgirl
• Missionary double

How To Do It:

Let’s walk through them one by one.

• Wishbone DP is when you’re lying on one side of your body with your legs at a 90° angle. Slightly position your hips upwards and lean towards you. You can hold your ass cheeks open and slowly insert two fingers or two different sex toys.
• Cowgirl DP is when you’re on your knees with your legs spread out. Begin playing with your anus using one hand (but two fingers) or stimulate with two anal toys. You can lower your forearm or keep them straight down on your bed.
• Reverse cowgirl DP is when your body is flipped. You can enter from under your back or over your stomach.
• Missionary DP is similar to your reverse cowgirl position; only your legs are bent as far back as possible. Lift your hips slightly up to make it easier to penetrate your anus.
  If you want to take full advantage of double penetration – use butt plugs, dildos, stainless steel toys, and a lot of lube to experience an intense anal orgasm.

5. Prone (Facedown)

The prone or facedown position is perfect for days when you just want to be lazy and relax. It’s honestly a life hack to anal masturbation, and we’re here for it.

How To Do It:

1. You have to lie on your abdomen with your stomach on the bed and your back facing the ceiling. Spread your legs open into a wide V.
2. You may simply reach out to your anal opening and stimulate yourself.

Pro Tip: Remember the pillow trick? You can take your pillow and place it under your hips to curve your back. Keep moving your own fingers, or sex toys until you hit that spot. Enjoy easy access to your anus with this effortless position.

6. Suction Cup Squatting

When you’re in the mood to simulate real anal sex – suction cup squatting is your guy. It’s incredibly sensual when you control each movement with your dildo.

You will need a suction cup dildo specifically for this technique to work best. A suction cup dildo typically comes in body-safe silicone with a suction cup base for you to stick it on any surface.

How To Do It:

1. Once you’ve lubed it up, you can stick the base of your dildo on the floor and squat on top of it.
2. Align your body in a way where you can penetrate your anus on the dildo easily.
3. Try placing your hands on the floor, spread your legs hip-distance apart, and squat down.
4. Thrust in and out of your dildo gently before increasing your speed.

Pro Tip: You can also stick it on your shower wall to simulate the feeling of steamy shower sex. The possibilities are endless when performing anal masturbation with a suction cup dildo position. Ride it out and have fun with it!

7. Standing Doggy

The most appealing part about this standing position is that it can be done anywhere, even without taking off your clothes. It’s a hot variation to standard doggy that feels even better for some people. You can perform the standing doggy position anywhere as long as you have support for your upper body.

How To Do It:

1. You can have your upper body bent over a steady surface like the edge of a bathroom counter, bedroom wall, shower wall, or a tall shelf while your lower body is standing upright.
2. Spreading your legs or keeping your legs slightly closed would still work for this position. Once your body is supported, you can reach behind and do anal penetration the way you like.
3. Take your favorite anal sex toy or insert your finger or fingers in and gently penetrate inside. Find your rhythm and stick with it until you feel yourself reach an anal orgasm.
