How to do The Column Sex Position

Get ready for a real standing ovation. The Column is the perfect sex position for intimate, energetic and totally satisfying sex. The best part is that you can do it anywhere - there's no bed, couch or countertop needed!

Perfect for couples who like to keep things spontaneous, this position proves that great sex doesn't always need a bed, a sofa, or a carefully planned itinerary. All you need is each other, a little balance, and a willingness to try something new.
So, stand tall, hold on tight, and prepare to give your love life the standing ovation it deserves.

What is The Column sex position?

The Column is a standing, face to face position that focuses on your closeness, balance and full body contact. The name comes from both of you standing upright while connecting with each other.

Mastering The Column position

For the Column, both you and your partner need to stand upright facing the same direction, with your partner's chest snuggled close to your back. To begin with, you should entwine your arms to help you both balance and to increase intimacy levels.
Your partner should then enter you from behind, bending their knees if there is a significant height difference. Then, arch your back and lean forward slightly. Have your partner establish a steady rhythm - both slow and sensual or fast and hard are both great options in this position, depending on what you're into. If you're having trouble balancing, this position works great up against a wall or when leaning your upper body over a chair.
The angle in which your partner enters you is amazing for deep G-spot penetration, and once you've established a rhythm, your lover can move their hands around to wherever takes their fancy. That's why this position is so popular - your partner can easily stimulate every part of your body, from your nipples to your clitoris.

Benefits of The Column sex position

We can't get enough of this position, and here's why:

  • Hot and sexy full body contact - this position keeps both your bodies intertwined from head to toe.
  • Intimacy levels maxed out - you're both pressed close together, making the skin to skin contact next level.
  • Works well anywhere - this one doesn't just belong in the bedroom. It can be done quite literally anywhere, so it's great when exploring new locations.
This position combines passion, intimacy, and a little bit of adventure, all while keeping both of you fully connected.

How to up the ante in The Column position

To take this sensual position to new heights of pleasure, try adding a vibe into the mix - whether that's a bullet, wand, or cock ring. If you're choosing a vibrator for clit stimulation, have your partner hold the toy against your clit and get ready for an incredible blended orgasm.
The Column is sexy and intimate, and if you're into it, it's the perfect position for having your partner whispering some dirty talk into your ear whilst caressing your neck also.

Tips for mastering The Column Position

The key to mastering this position all comes down to balance, support and working together.
Here's a few top tips:

  • Use a wall for support - if you need it, a wall can help take a lot of strain off the arms and legs, making the position easier to hold for longer.
  • Focus on your stability first - don't rush too fast into the movement. Get your positioning and balance right before thrusting your way to the finish line.
  • Keep your core engaged - good posture will help your balance.
  • Stay close - the closer you are to each other, the easier it is to stay connected.
  • Keep movements controlled - we've said it before and we'll say it again, it's a marathon, not a sprint, so keep those movements slow and steady.
  • Make it a team effort - don't be selfish with this one. This position works best when both of you work together rather than one of you taking on the whole load.
