Here’s why you should add the ‘bridge’ position in your sex routine

Have you heard of ‘finishing’ sex positions? Before researching for this story, I hadn’t either. Wondering what they do? It’s all in the name—they help you and your partner reach the finish line (AKA O town). When getting down and dirty in the bedroom, one usually goes through a whole cycle of positions—from starting in more lovey-dovey positions like missionary where you can longingly gaze into each other’s eyes, kiss, and tease to finishing in faster-paced positions that get the job done for both you—think doggy or cowgirl. If you already have a mix of intimate and more intense positions in your routine and are looking to experiment with something new, here’s a position for you to try—the ‘bridge’ position.

Discover how to nail the (slightly challenging) position and ways to take it up a notch.

What is the bridge position?

The receiving person lies on their back, and with their shoulders and feet firmly on the bed, raise their hips—much like the bridge position in yoga. Then, the other person kneels in between their legs and holds on to the bottom person’s hips for support while thrusting. 
Needless to say, it’s not for those days when either of you are feeling particularly lazy or tired as both of you need to support each other for the position to work—the bottom partner has to give core support, while the top partner has to hold them with their arms. 

Why does it feel so good?

Core workout notwithstanding, the position feels really good—like really good. Why? The angle allows for deeper penetration that works wonders for partners who are not so well endowed and also feels amazing for those with different heights. Plus, either you or your partner can easily stimulate the clitoris. Not to mention how hot the view for the one on top will be! In short, it hits deep, gives easy access to the clitoris, and is great for people with small penises and couples with height differences. Need we say more?
 
Ways to make it hotter

As if the original position wasn’t sexy enough? However, there are a few variations you can try to spice it up, and in some cases, make it easier.
 
Use pillows to prop yourself up

While the position doesn’t seem too complicated, it can be difficult to sustain it if the receiving partner doesn’t have a strong core, or the person on top isn’t able to grab on for support for too long. This is were pillows come in—add one or more under the bottom partner’s hips or back to elevate the height and adjust the angle, pressure, and pleasure. 

Add toys for extra pleasure

There are very few sex positions that can’t be improved by throwing a toy (or two) into the mix, and the bridge position is no different. Use a clit vibrator during penetration for double the fun and pleasure!

Switch to anal sex

If you’re feeling extra adventurous, you can also try anal sex in this position—the person at the bottom simply has to angle their hips slightly higher for easier backdoor access.
