How it works 

If doggy-style had a superhero upgrade, this would be it. In the Superman position, the receiving partner looks like they’re flying, with their legs lifted, torso extended, fully supported by the penetrating partner. You can go full lift-off or get a boost from a bed or sturdy furniture. 

Skill Factor 

Superman takes strength. It’s great as a starter or mid-session switch-up, but rarely a full-session ride. The giver needs decent upper-body power, or use a sex swing for support if that’s more your speed. 

Pleasure Rating 

This one works well for both vaginal and anal sex. The penetrating partner takes control and sets the pace and depth. The receiver can push back or arch their back to adjust angles. It’s a win for receivers who enjoy giving up control. 

Bonus Benefits 

Ideal for Dom/sub play, it’s all about power dynamics and visual appeal. Easy to combine with other positions and yes, you can totally hum the Superman theme while doing it. 

More to love

  • Scissor Position

    Scissoring may look like a leggy puzzle, but it’s all about angles and intimacy. One partner lies back while the other slides in from the side, legs crossing to form an X-shape. The giver’s leg goes under the receiver’s butt, while the other leg drapes over. Thrusting takes a back seat. This position is all about slow, sensual grinding and clitoral contact. If leverage feels tricky, shift to your side and let your hips find the rhythm.

  • Flatiron Position

    The flatiron (a.k.a. lazy or downward dog) is all about smooth, deep strokes for lasting pleasure. The receiver lies face down, legs straight, knees slightly bent with a pillow under their hips to lift the butt just enough. The giver mounts from behind, keeping their weight off with their arms.

  • The Corkscrew Position

    Corkscrew is a twisty, intimate move with a side of spice. The receiver lies on their side at the edge of the bed, bum out. The giver straddles one of the receivers legs and enters from behind, whilst the receiver twists toward that leg, hooking their free leg around the giver’s waist. Twist locked, pleasure unlocked.
