The Speedbump

What is the speed bump Position?

The speed bump position is a rear-entry variation with one crucial modification: a pillow.
The receiving partner lies face down on the bed, stomach and chest flat, arms wherever they're most comfortable. Grab a pillow (or two), or a firm cushion and slip it underneath their hips to raise the pelvis into a gentle arch, while the rest of the body stays completely relaxed and grounded.
The giving partner then positions themselves behind, either kneeling or lying over their partner, and can penetrate from behind or go down on them from behind. Both work well and feel entirely different from the same acts performed in any other position.

How to Perform the speed bump Position

• Choose your elevation: this is the whole position, so get it right. One firm pillow gives a gentle tilt. Two, or a sex wedge, gives a more dramatic angle and considerably deeper access. Start with one and adjust if needed.
• Lie down and relax completely: the receiving partner goes face down, hips over the pillow, legs together or slightly apart depending on how much access they want to offer. Arms can be folded under the head, stretched out, or gripping the sheets in advance of the pleasure that’s about to be dealt to them. This is the position's greatest gift: the receiving partner does nothing. Perfect for a long, hard day at work or a lazy morning session.
• Let your legs decide the difficulty: keeping your legs together creates a tighter fit and more friction for the giving partner. Each stroke will feel intense, snug, and delicious. Opting to have your legs apart will open everything up for deeper entry and easier oral access, so your partner and flick and lap their tongue until you climax. The sweet spot? Have your legs slightly apart with knees drawn up an inch or two; this raises the hips even further and offers a delicious view of you.
• The giving partner gets in position: kneeling behind for penetration, straddle the thighs for more control, or lie flat along your partner's back for full body contact. This opens up the ability to whisper some hot dirty talk into their ear. For oral, kneeling or lying between the legs, hands free to grip, spread and hold.
• Go slowly: it's in the name. The angle created by the pillow means depth will come faster than expected, but don’t rush. Give shallow, unhurried strokes at first while you both get into the rhythm, and build into deep, hard thrusts if that’s what the receiver is in to.

How to spice it up

The speed bump is excellent unmodified, but spectacular with a few additions.

• Slide a vibrator underneath: this is the single best upgrade available to this position. A bullet or compact clit vibe tucked between the pillow and your body sits pressed exactly where it needs to be - held in place by the receiving partner's own weight, buzzing continuously, entirely hands-free throughout.
• Hand over the remote: use a remote-controlled vibrator underneath and let the partner behind control the intensity. They can see every reaction, and choose exactly when to turn it up. With the other’s face down, hips raised and entirely at someone else's mercy: the power dynamic writes itself.
• Add a butt plug: worn during penetration, a plug will give you that feeling of extra fullness and pressure that both partners will be able to feel. In a position with this much depth already, this addition offers a deeply filling, deeply delicious dynamic.
• Bind the wrists: face down with hands secured behind the back or above the head with restraints transforms the speed bump from chill to entirely surrendered. The receiving partner won’t be able to push back, brace, or do anything but take it at whatever pace they're given.
• Blindfold them: they can't see behind them anyway, but removing sight entirely with a blindfold means every touch, every change of angle, every hand arriving somewhere new is a complete surprise.
• Use a cock ring: a vibrating cock ring worn by the penetrating partner will deliver a buzz at the point of contact with every stroke. You’ll both feel it from the inside out.
• Grab the hips: pull, hold and control the pace from behind using your partner’s delicious set of hips; it’ll add a spicy dominance layer to the dynamic.
