This position is incredibly sexy and it ticks all the boxes. Hot, intimate eye contact, G-spot stimulation and a deep intense orgasm that’ll leave you both wanting more. It’s also really easy to transition into this position from Missionary, so you can manoeuvre with ease when you want to turn the heat up a notch.

What is The Shard sex position?

The Shard is a high-angle position where the receiver is lied on their back with their legs in the air, and the giver is on their front, but holding themselves up from the thighs upwards, whilst entering the other.

How to do The Shard position

If you’re the receiver, you need to lift both of your legs into the air and support yourself by holding your thighs or resting your ankles on their shoulders. Your partner then needs to lay facing you but holding themselves up from the thighs onwards (almost in a cobra like position but holding themselves up a little higher). When you’re in position and comfortable, push your thighs together and squeeze your pelvic floor muscles as this will enhance the pleasure for both of you as you tighten around his shaft. Then thrust, grind, rock and roll your way to the finish line.

Benefits of The Shard sex position

Our top reasons why we think you should try The Shard:

  • Deep angles of penetration – that is all.
  • Close contact – your bodies are close together and you can connect in a way that almost feels too good.
  • Visual stimulation – the sigh of the elevated angle can heighten intimacy and arousal for some.
  • Easy to modify – making small changes like height, leg position and lean angle can all change the way this position feels in terms of pleasure and comfort.

How to up the ante in The Shard position

We know this position already feels incredible, but if you really want to up the ante and increase your chances of a mind-blowing blended orgasm, then why not introduce a couples sex toy into the mix?
A vibrating cock ring is perfect for this position. The vibrations will provide clit stimulation while he works on your G-spot and the ring will help keep him harder for longer. And let’s face it, when he sees how turned on you are, he’s going to need all the help he can get!
Then when the time is right and you can’t take it anymore, climax together for an intense finish you’ll never forget.

Tips for comfort in The Shard Position

The position should be easy to hold, but if you do get a little tired, you could pop a pillow under your bottom, so you can stay elevated and enjoy every tantalising second.
Also, don’t be afraid to adjust your leg angles. Bend them slightly if that feels more comfortable for you. If you’re not comfortable, you won’t enjoy it, and where’s the fun in that?
