How it works 

In the butterfly position, the receiving partner lies on their back at the edge of the bed or a table, while the penetrating partner stands or kneels between their legs. It’s a simple setup with maximum access, perfect for a face-to-face connection and plenty of pelvic power from the top. 

Skill Factor 

Easy, breezy, and super versatile, the butterfly is a great go-to for all experience levels. A few tweaks in angle or leg placement can totally change the feel, so it’s ideal for playful experimentation without much acrobatics. 

Pleasure Rating 

Deep, delicious penetration is the main event here. The giver can control the rhythm and depth, while keeping things slow and sensual or turning up the intensity. With good communication, it’s a surefire crowd-pleaser. 

Bonus Benefits 

This one gets bonus points for clitoral access! The receiver (or their partner) can add some manual stimulation while keeping things cosy and connected. Simple setup, big payoff, that’s the butterfly effect. 

More to love

  • The Eagle Position

    The eagle (or spread eagle) is all about access and openness. The receiving partner lies on their back and stretches their legs wide into a V shape, like wings in flight. The top partner takes the lead, whether it’s for penetration, oral, or manual play. For extra stretch and control, the bottom partner can hold their ankles or thighs.

  • The Pretzel Position

    In the pretzel position, the receiver lies on their left side while the giver kneels and straddles their bottom leg. The receiver’s top leg wraps around the giver’s waist, opening up access for penetration. It’s comfy, intimate, and great for those who love depth without the back strain of rear-entry positions.

  • Spoon Position

    Spooning isn’t just for cuddles. This side-by-side position lets both partners lie facing the same way, with the giver slipping in from behind. The receiver lifts their top leg just enough to let the magic happen, and from there you can rock, thrust or swirl your hips like you’re dancing under the sheets. Simple, snug, and sexy.
