The Pretzel 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.
No need to be a yoga pro, just a little flexibility helps. Most people can pull this off with a bit of leg spread. Can’t reach your ankles? No problem. Grabbing your thighs, knees, or calves works just fine to keep things stable and sexy.
Think missionary’s a snooze? Fly Eagle-class! This spicy upgrade cranks up the intensity. You might choose to start in classic missionary but when the receiver lift their legs and grabs onto their ankles, knees, or calves, it opens things up for deeper thrusts, closer eye contact, and a whole new level of oh-yes.
Though often used for penis-in-vagina play, the eagle is just as hot with toys, grinding, or anal. It’s a versatile position that puts everything on display and keeps all your pleasure zones front and centre.
