The From the Back position is one of the most common ways to enjoy anal pleasure during masturbation. Laying on your side gives this position marathon staying powers while the position offers better access for p-spot play. It's a win-win!
To get into this sex position, lay on your side with your head comfortably supported. Bring your lower arm behind you, reaching behind your body to slide a sex toy inside your body. Once there, that hand can grip onto the base of the toy to manipulate the thrust the toy inside your body.
The From the Back position will work with all types of anal toys. Most people will choose this position to explore dildos or other thrustable items because this position makes it easy to move the toy. However, butt plugs or other stationary toys can also be a fit here.
More about the From the Back Position
One of the biggest benefits of the From the Back position is its comfortable position, great for marathon sessions. Especially while lounging in a plush bed, the From the Back position can be held for a long time without quaking muscles. Add-in good neck support with a pillow (one made for spooning like the Lune could add bonus points) to make this masturbation sex position go even further.
The second biggest benefit is the natural position your body wants to take. By drawing the knees into the chest, it makes it much, much easier to hit the prostate. This partners with the natural angle your arm takes when folded behind you to pound the toy almost directly into the prostate. It's a bit of a "cheatsheet" for simple p-spot stimulation without needing to think about it!
Some people may find that they prefer to insert their toy before going into the From the Back position. Especially with longer toys, it can be difficult to get the distance from your body needed to insert a toy while in this position. Instead, you can lay on your back to insert the toy then slowly roll onto your side to move the toy once it's fully inserted.
The From the Back position leaves one hand free. The illustration shows the person lounging with their arm comfortably placed, but that free hand can also be used for additional pleasure! It can slide between the folded legs to provide clitoral, vaginal, or penile stimulation. While larger sex toys probably won't fit because of the curled up position, sex toys that don't need a lot of movement (or your hand!) will fit for most.
Pro tip: If you need more space on the front side of your body for play, place a piece of sex furniture or a stack of pillows underneath that top bent knee. This raises the knee, giving you more space to play, without requiring any extra effort on your part!)
If you're one for adventure, the From the Back position also happens to look great on video. With the legs pulled up and the arm snaked behind, there's a great visual to be had for those who love to watch or film their escapades. This allows for a hot wide shot, but it can also be easy to get close-ups with most of the limbs out of the way.
While the From the Back position looks simple at first glance, it may not be a good fit for everyone. Every body has different proportions, and if you have a long torso and shorter arms, it may be difficult for you to reach behind you to achieve this position. Shoulder flexibility also plays a part here, and your body may not enjoy twisting this way. If that's the case, that's okay. Every person's body is unique, and there are hundreds of other ways to masturbate instead. Make sure to pick a masturbation position that's comfortable for your body since the entire point of masturbation is to enjoy yourself - and you can't do that if you feel pain or discomfort!
