The anvil sex position is a variation of the Missionary position. It’s very easy to transition to when you are already having Missionary sex with your man. The image below shows you exactly how to perform the Anvil position with your man. However, before your race ahead and try it out with him, it’s a good idea first to read the rest of this article to make sure you do it correctly and don’t accidentally hurt yourself. After that, check out the rest of our Sex Positions Guide here to add something new to your repertoire.
To have sex in the Anvil position, you just need to lay on your back, as you would when in the Missionary position. Just like when you are in the Missionary position, you need to spread your legs. But instead of resting them on your bed, you need to pull them close to your chest. Your man then positions himself over you. But instead of resting on his elbows, he will be resting on his hands. With the help of your man, position your legs so that your calves/ankles are resting on his shoulders on either side of his neck.

What The Man Does In The Anvil Position
With your legs in this position, your man will now be more easily able to rub his pubic bone over your clitoris to stimulate it. He can do this by performing a back and forth motion where he is not moving in and out that much, but rather just rubbing over your clitoris and clitoral hood.
In this position, your man can also penetrate you incredibly deeply. This is great if you like taking him deep. However if your man has a long penis, then you’ll find that he will hit your cervix more easily, which can cause considerable pain. Make sure to tell him immediately if he is causing you any discomfort by penetrating you too deeply.
What The Woman Does In The Anvil Position
When you are in the Anvil position, you may feel that your man is in control, but you’ll find that you can actually push him off you using your legs if you want (unless of course he is very big and heavy!). This is great as it means that you can control how deep he penetrates you, meaning that you’ll almost always be able to find a ‘spot’ that feels great for you.
When you are in the Anvil sex position with your man, you’ll find that he won’t be as ‘close’ to you as your legs and in the way. However, if you want to add intimacy to it, you can gently rub and scratch his arms when they are either side of you.

Hurts like a bitch
If it hurts then you’re doing it wrong…. Read some other articles. Sex shouldn’t hurt. If it does, you’re doing it wrong.
If I do it correctly, my wife has a nice wet orgasm and it drives me nuts, I love cumming at the same moment it’s my favorite.
Tried it with one leg up. Make sure you do lots of stretching before you try this position.
I can do it with absolutely no previous stretching but I’m a gymnast and can easily slide into a split so for most people I would deffinettly advise that you stretch first
My boyfriend and have been doing this one for a while and its one of our favorites. He likes it a lot because I’m wide hipped and have a wider and it tightens around him jist so perfectly, easy for finding the gspot.
