Everything You Need to Know About the Bridge Sex Position

If you’re looking for a big finish to penetrative sex—like the arching your back, I must have you right TF now kind—you need to know about the Bridge position. Yes, that Bridge position; exactly like what you’d do in yoga, but with sex. You lie on your back, keeping your shoulders on the bed, and raise your hips with your knees spread about hip distance apart. Put your weight on your feet and shoulders while your partner kneels between your legs to perform via peen or dildo, hands, mouth or toy. It’s a game-changer.

What makes the Bridge position so great?

“While some sex positions are great for warm-up—the more intimate ones with more kissing, cuddling, and eye contact—the Bridge position is best when your partner or both of you are ready to finish. That’s because it allows for deeper and more aggressive thrusting for any penis-having partner or partner with a penetrative object like a dildo,” says Aliyah Moore, PhD, Resident Certified Sex Therapist at SexualAlpha.

Sounds kinda hard. Why do it?

Well, it’s literally the same as a core workout, so yes, thighs and abs will be engaged. But in small doses, so worth it. “It is great for people with small penises, or partners with vastly different heights. It allows for deep penetration and internal stimulation, and also makes it easy to manually stimulate the receiving partner’s clitoris or penis,” says Shannon Chavez, Licensed Psychologist and K-Y’s Sex Therapist.

And it’s beyond visually hot. If you’re raising your hips to press closer to your partner’s penis/dildo/mouth/toy/fingers, it’s a pretty obvious tell that you want more of them.

How to make the Bridge even better

Add pillows

“Add props to enhance pleasure. Start with pillows that can be placed under the bottom of the receiving partner, which will elevate the hips and enhance pressure, friction, and sensation to increase their pleasure potential,” says Chavez.

Use fancy lube

“Use a stimulating lubricant like K-Y’s Intense Pleasure Gel beforehand to increase the intensity of sensations,” says Chavez. You can also experiment with all kinds of CBD elixirs or other arousal gels.

Play with toys

“If you want to bring this position to the next level, use your clit or bullet vibrator for more intense sensations,” says Moore.
