From easy, entry-level options (pun absolutely intended) to deep, toe-curling variations that’ll have you questioning your flexibility, we’ve rounded up 40+ anal sex positions for every mood, skill level, and angle preference. Some are cozy, some are acrobatic, and a few might just require a pre-stretch—but hey, that’s half the adventure.

Ready to find the perfect position for your next backdoor rendezvous? Scroll on, lube up, and let the fun begin.

1. Hands Behind Ankles

A position for the bold (or just the very flexible). You bend forward, grab your ankles, and let your partner take control from behind. Deep, intense, and definitely a trust exercise—especially for anal sex positions. Stretching beforehand highly recommended.

2. Butter Churner

Flip upside down, legs over shoulders, and brace yourself—this one’s not for the faint of heart. It’s deep, it’s intense, and it might just make you question your life choices (in the best way possible).

Straddle your partner as they sit back and enjoy the ride. You get all the control, the rhythm, and the bragging rights. Plus, it looks pretty damn good in action.

A reverse cowgirl but make it anal-friendly. Lean forward, brace yourself, and enjoy the view while your partner does their thing. One of the best anal sex positions for those who want deep penetration without giving up control.

10. Golden Gate

Think of a human bridge—one partner arched back, the other taking full advantage. It’s a balancing act, but when done right? Magic.
