In this article, we'll cover:

- Enhancing intimacy with perfect angles and body mechanics.
- Adding spice with variations, comfort tips, and toy ideas.
Pro’s and Con’s of The Anvil Sex Position
First up, before we dive deeper—we call this position the Anvil because, with your partner's legs locked over your shoulders, you’re set up for deep, precise strokes that hit just right—like a hammer to an anvil. Do you think this Missionary-like stance might just be your new favourite sex position? Let's have a look at the pros and cons.
Pros
- Unmatched Depth and Precision
The Anvil’s angle is all about hitting those pleasure points with surgical precision. Perfect for G-spot and even A-spot stimulation, this depth isn’t just deep—it’s the kind that can take her straight to an intense orgasm. - Full-Body Bonding
This close, anchored position lets you wrap her up tight, making it perfect for those intense, all-in moments. And hey, it even kicks in that oxytocin—the “bonding hormone”—taking intimacy to another level. - Muscle-Engaging Power Move
It’s not just a position; it’s a mini workout. You’re engaging core and pelvic floor muscles, which means more blood flow, better stamina, and a stronger orgasmic response for her. - Natural Clitoral Stimulation
With her hips lifted, this angle lets her clit get just the right kind of friction—bringing internal and external pleasure together and making multi-orgasms a real possibility. - Sensory Intimacy Boost
Up close and personal, you’ve got eye contact, synchronized breathing, and skin-to-skin action firing up those pleasure hormones, making this position as much about connection as it is about sex.
Cons
- Flexibility Demands
Legs up high can be a stretch—literally. If you or she has any joint or flexibility issues, this one’s gonna need some modifications. - Overstimulation Potential
With its depth, the Anvil can go from intense to “Whoa, slow down” if you’re not careful. Cervical or G-spot pressure can quickly become too much without the right pacing. - Limited Freedom of Movement
This position locks you into a rhythm. If you’re used to mixing things up, you’ll find the Anvil keeps things steady but tight on variety. - Pelvic Pressure Points
The angle’s great for depth but can add a bit too much pressure on her pelvic region if she’s not completely relaxed, turning pleasure into pressure fast.
Let's just say that the Anvil might test your flexibility, but the payoff? Deep strokes, tight angles, and that up-close intensity—is that something you would like to miss?
So, do you think you can lock in and make it unforgettable? Here’s how to "Anvil the right way".
How To Perform The Anvil Sex Position
Men, as we are, we might think we know a thing or two about “anvils” from those DIY projects in the garage—but this Anvil? It's a whole different game. A few key moves, and you’re set. So, let’s break down exactly how to position yourselves and her to get the most out of this one.
Alright, here’s how to set the stage and bring the depth she’s been craving.
- Start with alignment: Position yourself right at her entrance, with her lying back and legs resting on your shoulders. This angle gives access to key areas like the G-spot and A-spot, ensuring deep, targeted stimulation.
- Upright but relaxed posture: Keep your spine straight but flexible. This helps control depth and rhythm, making it easy to adjust based on her body’s responses without straining.
- Anchor her hips firmly: Place your hands on her hips to support and stabilize her pelvis. This anchoring provides her with a grounded, secure feeling, essential for her relaxation, and enhances depth with each thrust.
- Slow, controlled entry: Enter slowly, allowing her muscles to relax. This measured approach heightens sensitivity along the vaginal canal, especially at the G-spot and A-spot, making every thrust deliberate and impactful.
- Engage core for control and endurance: Activate your core to sustain depth and stamina. Core engagement allows you to hold the angle perfectly, ensuring each thrust is deep, controlled, and powerful, keeping both of you steady and connected.
Here’s how she sets up to make the Anvil position genuinely impactful.
- Start with a comfortable position: You can help her lie flat on her back, keeping her shoulders relaxed. This grounded position gives her stability, which is essential for enjoying the depth and intensity of the Anvil.
- Raise and rest her legs: She’ll bring her legs up and rest them comfortably on your shoulders. If needed, a slight bend in her knees eases tension in her hips and opens her pelvis, creating the ideal entry angle.
- Tilt her pelvis upward: With a gentle pelvic tilt toward you, she aligns her body perfectly for deeper G-spot and A-spot stimulation. This slight adjustment smooths the path for your entry, enhancing the sensation with every thrust.
- Keep her hips relaxed but engaged: She’ll relax her hips naturally but with a light engagement to maintain her position without slipping. This control keeps her steady and helps you adjust depth effortlessly.
- Use her hands for stability: She may place her hands on your arms or shoulders for added stability, or press down slightly to keep her body anchored. This connection helps amplify sensation, maintaining perfect alignment for deep, satisfying strokes.
Spots You Hit During The Anvil Sex Position
In the Anvil sex position, the angle of penetration is all about depth and precision. With her legs resting over your shoulders, you achieve a straight angle of entry, which allows for focused contact along the vaginal canal.
During straight penetration in this position, you’ll target several key pleasure points:
- G-Spot: Located on the front wall of the vaginal canal, the G-spot is highly sensitive and responds well to consistent pressure. With this angle, you’re positioned to hit it directly, amplifying her pleasure.
- A-Spot: Positioned deeper along the anterior vaginal wall, the A-spot can provide intense stimulation when accessed correctly. The straight penetration allows you to reach this area more easily, creating a fuller sensation.
- Cervix: For some, gentle contact with the cervix can enhance arousal and deepen the experience. This position may bring your movements closer to the cervix, which can add to the sensation, especially if she enjoys deep thrusts.
Nail the setup, and the Anvil’s gonna hit those spots that make you wonder why you hadn’t tried it sooner—trust me, it’s worth it.
In case you would like to sprinkle a little fun with it, these variations will keep things fresh and interesting.
Ready to Put a Twist on the Anvil? Try These Fun Variations!
Who wouldn’t love a little extra cheese on their spaghetti? Same goes in the bedroom, brother. When things are heating up, it’s easy to get caught up and just go for it like there’s no tomorrow.
But here’s the thing—when you add a little finesse, switch up the angles, and find those sweet spots, you’re in for something else entirely. That orgasm? It’ll be on a whole new level when you try these twists on the Anvil that’ll have her toes curling and leave you both breathless.
Position I - Oyster Sex Position
The Oyster is an intimate, close-in position focused on deep connection.
In this setup, she lies on her back with her legs pulled up close to her chest, almost folded, while you lean forward, holding her legs and pressing deeper with each movement.
This compact positioning keeps her legs raised, creating a tight, intense angle that amplifies the sensation for both partners.
- What’s Different: Unlike the open angle of the Anvil, the Oyster offers a more compressed entry point, making everything feel tighter, more controlled, and incredibly intense. The angle shifts slightly, directing more pressure onto her G-spot for added pleasure.
- Who Will Love This Twist: The Oyster is perfect for couples craving deep, pressure-filled strokes and ultimate closeness. If she enjoys feeling fully enveloped and loves that extra sense of being held, this is a fantastic option that makes every thrust feel deeply intimate and connected.
Position II - Deep Stick Sex Position
In the Deep Stick position, she lies on her back with her legs resting on your shoulders, bringing her hips up for a deeper angle.
You kneel between her legs, maintaining a slightly upright posture, and support yourself with your hands placed firmly on the bed beside her shoulders.
This position allows you to control both depth and rhythm, creating a close and intense connection as you maintain eye contact.
- What’s Different: The elevated angle of her hips combined with your upright stance allows for a near-vertical entry, giving you more precision to hit deeper spots with each thrust. This angle also naturally presses against her G-spot, providing a fuller sensation and deeper penetration than other positions.
- Who Will Love This Twist: Perfect for couples who want a mix of closeness and depth, the Deep Stick offers a more controlled and intimate experience. If you’re looking to blend deep connection with powerful, precise movements, this position is a great choice.
Position III - Eagle Sex Position
The Eagle spreads things out, giving her a sense of openness and freedom.
In this position, she’s on her back with her legs wide apart, almost like wings, while you lean over her, maintaining a strong connection.
Your body presses close, but there’s a bit more space for her to move and adjust as she likes.
- What’s Different: The Eagle provides a more open, expansive feel compared to the compact closeness of the Anvil. With her legs spread wider, the angle softens, creating a gentler but still deep entry. This position allows you to reach her G-spot and even the A-spot, but without the same intense compression—giving a balanced mix of depth and comfort.
- Who Will Love This Twist: If she enjoys a bit more freedom to move her hips and likes to feel less restricted, the Eagle is perfect. This position is ideal for couples who want deep penetration but prefer a setup that feels open and easygoing. It’s a relaxed yet intimate option that combines connection with the freedom to explore.
So there you have it—the Anvil with a twist. Try ‘em out, see what works, and trust me, you’ll find a rhythm that’ll leave you both totally spent and grinning. Just remember, it’s all about having fun and keeping things fresh.

Need More Fun with the Anvil Position? Here's What to Do!
So you already love the Anvil position, but maybe you’re wondering, “Is there a way to make this even better?” Absolutely.
Sometimes it’s the smallest changes that make the biggest difference—so let’s dive into some moves that’ll have her craving more.
- Adjust the angle for deeper impact: Try shifting slightly forward or backward on the bed to change the angle of entry. This lets you target her G-spot or even hit the A-spot with a bit more precision. Just a few inches can make a huge difference, helping you focus on the spots that drive her wild. Keep your shoulders steady and see how each slight shift can ramp up her pleasure.
- Position tweaks for added control: Lean in a bit more or straighten up—each shift brings a new layer to the Anvil. Adjusting your positioning gives you greater control over depth, which really lets you focus on hitting those pleasure points without missing a beat. If she wants more, go for it; if she needs a breather, pull back slightly. It’s all about tuning into her and making sure the depth’s just right.
- Vibrating butt plug: Want to really elevate her experience? A vibrating butt plug can make the Anvil even more intense. When she’s feeling it from both angles, it’s a whole new level of pleasure. Just keep it slow and check in—she might find it challenging at first, but the payoff is well worth it.
