How to Do the Push & Pull Sex Position

Sometimes you don't need to completely change the game… you just need to give it a little push (and pull).

The Push & Pull is proof that a small switch-up can make a big difference. Taking a familiar favourite and adding a new angle, this position is all about experimenting, finding your rhythm, and discovering that the tiniest adjustments can create a totally different experience.

What is The Push & Pull sex position?

The Push & Pull is a position that requires your partner to enter from behind and puts all the focus on changing angles rather than speed. It may seem like the classic doggy style, but a slight shift in body positioning can create a completely different experience. It's all about slowing things down and discovering how small adjustments can make a big difference.

Mastering The Push & Pull position

GettApply lots of your favourite lube and keep your knees firmly together while your partner enters you from behind in a kneeling position. They can start thrusting at whatever pace feels good for you both, and then when you've got into a good rhythm and are close to climax, get them to slowly lean back and switch to slow, deep thrusts. By leaning back, the angle of their penis or strap on will push firmly against the back of your vagina and hit your G-spot with every lip-biting push.

Benefits of The Push & Pull sex position

We love this position for so many reasons, but here are a few of our fave reasons why:

  • A new twist on a classic - whilst it may feel similar at the start, a slight change in the angles will leave you feeling like you're doing a whole new position.
  • Encourages communication - because this position is all about changing angles and finding the perfect rhythm, you can work together to discover what feels best.
  • It proves that sometimes slower can be better - it's not always a race to the finish line.
  • Easy to adapt - just simply tweak your positioning to find the right comfort levels.
  • Adds variety - if you're getting bored of doing the same things in the bedroom time after time, this position proves that you only need to make minimal changes to create a whole new experience.

How to maximise pleasure in The Push & Pull position

If you can bear the anticipation, use a vibrator on your clit at the same time and then every now and then, get your partner to pull out and wait for a few seconds before re-entering. This will leave you begging for more and build up to the mother of all orgasms.
This position is also a great one if you're using a strap on. Switch roles and experience intense G-spot orgasms if you're a lesbian couple or give your guy a climax he'll never forget by hitting the P-spot and pulling out at the point of climax. Ride on.
