In this article, we'll cover:

  • Physical examples to be rougher in bed while respecting your partner
  • Key elements to be more dominant and rough in the bedroom
  • A woman's perspective on why women love rough sex

Start with Yourself: Embrace Your Savage Side

Embracing your savage side means tapping into your primal instincts related to dominance in rough sex. Begin with a straightforward self-assessment:

  • List what you're ready to try.
  • Identify what you might consider.
  • Find what you're not willing to explore.

Doing so ensures you know your wants and needs and can communicate them effectively with someone else. 

I. Express Yourself Fully

To fully tap into your savage side, focus on using your breath, sound, movement, and vocal expressions:

  • Breath: Control your breathing to build intensity. Deep, deliberate breaths can help maintain stamina and make you more present.
  • Sound: Don't hesitate to make sounds. Groans or grunts can add to the intensity and show your enthusiasm. 
  • Movement: Use confident and assertive movements to demonstrate your intentions and guide your partner.
  • Vocal Expressions: Speak up. Commands or dirty talk can be extremely sexy, so use them to your advantage.

II. Take the Lead

Taking the lead means directing the action.

  • Push your partner playfully towards the bed,
  • quickly remove her underwear, or
  • hold her down are just a few examples.

It also includes planning a date night where she can relax fully.

Leading is about controlling the situation subtly. This approach helps you introduce rougher sex smoothly later on while building sexual tension. 

III. Work On Your Body Language

Use confident body language in rough sex.

Stand tall and move decisively.

Firm grips and clear actions show control.

Staying fit improves stamina and presence, making it easier to lead effectively.

IV. Focus On Tonality & Voice

Speak with a firm tone and be clear about what you want.

  • Command the situation with primal sexual energy.
  • Experiment with different vocal expressions and sounds.
  • Use deep moans or a low, commanding voice to intensify the experience.
  • Speak slowly and deliberately.
  • Use downward inflections.

Allow pauses, and embrace silence to build sexual tension.

How to Get Her into the Mood - Practical Examples

Rough sex is better when you take the time to build up the mood. Here are some practical examples to get her in the right headspace. 

Example #1 - Plan A Wrestle Date

My favorite approach is setting up a wrestling date.

  • Lay down pillows,
  • move furniture and other objects to create space, and then
  • playfully pin and push each other down.

This activity is fun and physical, building anticipation and excitement that seamlessly transitions into rough sex.

Example #2 - Push Her Gently Against The Wall

Grab her wrists and pin them over her head while pushing her against a wall.

Maintain eye contact and, in a teasing tone, say, "You have no idea what I am going to do to you later."

This direct and dominant action can quickly get things moving in the right direction. 

Example #3 - Do The Caveman

The 'caveman' method involves picking her up and gently placing her on the bed, then immediately pinning her down.

This assertive and spontaneous behavior can be a huge turn-on for many women.

11 Physical Techniques to be Rougher in Bed

Each method has its own unique appeal, experiment with different techniques to find the best for you and your partner.

Technique #1 - Firm Touch

A firm touch means applying more pressure than usual during your caresses and grips. This conveys confidence and a sense of control.

Start gently and increase the intensity based on her feedback to ensure she's comfortable.

Idea

For instance, while kissing, you might hold her firmly by the waist, pulling her close to deepen the connection and establish a controlled but reassuring presence.

Technique #2 - Hair Pulling

To control head movement subtly, gently grasp a handful of hair near the roots.

Do not pull too hard or suddenly. Adjust the strength of your grip based on her reactions.

Idea

During a passionate make-out, you could gently pull her head back grabbing the roots of her hair to expose her neck for kisses, which blends tenderness with a sense of dominance.

Technique #3 - Choking

Choking should be performed by placing your hand lightly on her throat without applying significant pressure.

Get consent before and never impede breathing.

Start slow and increase gently, assuring her safety.

Idea

You might gently hold her throat while maintaining eye contact, offering a sense of control without actual risk, thereby elevating the thrill.

Technique #4 - Pinching

Apply a quick, small squeeze to sensitive areas like the nipples or thighs to stimulate her.

Begin with mild pressure and be ready to adjust based on her reactions.

Idea

This can be a part of foreplay where you lightly pinch her nipples, watching her response and adjusting the intensity.

Technique #5 - Scratching

Dragging your nails lightly across her skin, particularly along her back or thighs, can make sex better and more exciting.

Ensure your nails are not too long or sharp to prevent skin breaking.

Idea

During a close embrace from behind, move your fingers in a light scratch all the way down her back and watch it trigger more anticipation.

Technique #6 - Slapping

A controlled slap to areas like the buttocks or thighs can be very kinky.

Some women even agree on light slaps on their cheeks.

Idea

Begin with a gentle tap on a body part you've agreed on and ensure it’s always within the comfort threshold. From here start slowly intensifying the sensation; never cause pain beyond what was agreed on.

Technique #7 - Spanking

Spanking is smacking the lower, fleshy part of her buttocks with an open hand.

Target the safest areas and adjust the force based on her feedback.

Idea

This can be playful during foreplay, such as bending her over your knee and gradually increasing the intensity with her consent.

Technique #8 - Spitting

Spitting should be approached with clear communication beforehand and target less intimate areas like the stomach or chest.

If previously agreed upon, more advanced areas include spitting in her mouth or on her face.

Idea

Use spitting as a primal expression during intense moments, followed by verbal reassurance. You can even establish that she asks or begs for it when she is ready. Hearing her say "Please spit in my mouth" can be a massive turn on for both of you.

Technique #9 - Biting

Gently bite her in less sensitive areas like the neck, earlobes, or nipples.

Start softly and only increase the intensity with her clear enjoyment.

Idea

Incorporate light biting as part of a heated kiss where you nibble on her lip or intensify by biting her neck like a vampire.

Technique #10 - Manhandling

Manhandling involves using your strength to lift, move, or position her. Be creative here, and show her how strong you are.

Idea

Pick her up during foreplay and squat down, holding her in your arms, emphasizing your physical control and strength.

Technique #11 - Thrusting

When it comes to being rough in bed, the way you thrust can change up the entire dynamic. 

Whether you are thrusting hard and fast or deep and slow will make a huge difference in your experience, both can feel very animalistic and primal.

Idea

Pin her down or hold her in place with your arms while she is in doggy style and mix things up with deeper, harder thrusts.

Ask her to try and get free while holding her in place can also add some spice since her movement will push you deeper inside her.

Balancing Pleasure and Pain

Mild pain is a great way to bring a little bit of rough sex into the bedroom.

My go-to technique for mild pain is spanking.

With just the right amount of force, I can get her heart racing while still keeping things playful and fun.

Another option is to incorporate blindfolds, other sensory deprivation toys, or any of the tools mentioned above for even more intense pleasure.

Andrew's Proven Tips for Advanced Rough Play

After years of practice and learning from various other professionals worldwide about BDSM, masculinity principles, sexuality, male and female dynamics, and so much more, I've been working with 1,000s of clients on improving their skills inside and outside the bedroom for more than a decade now.

Here are my best tips for better rough sex.

Tip #1 - Create A Safe Container

A safe word is necessary for maintaining safety and comfort. Pick words that aren't typically used in your normal interactions to prevent any confusion.

A common set of safe words I recommend are;

  • "Red"
  • "Yellow"
  • "Green"

They're easy to remember and effective in communicating levels of comfort during the activity.

Make sure to talk about boundaries, limits, and expectations beforehand, and always play within those agreements.

Tip #2 - Communicate

When rough playing, get feedback.

Take breaks to ensure your partner is comfortable with the activities and to discuss any concerns or discomfort.

Clear communication during these moments is crucial for ensuring both partners are on the same page.

Tip #3 - Best Sex Position For Rough Sex

Doggy style is perfect for rough sex.

It lets you go deep and gives you control over the speed and intensity.

Have her get on all fours and enter her from behind.

This position also lets you easily reach her clitoris, so you can stimulate multiple spots at once.

You can switch up the pace and depth to keep things exciting.

Plus, you can reach around to play with her breasts, adding even more pleasure.

Tip #4 - Introduce Toys & Props

Adding toys and props can help you enjoy rougher sex. Choose any of the following props;

  • Handcuffs: Limits the use of her hands.
  • Spreader Bar: Keeps her legs spread wide, giving you better access and control. 
  • Nipple Clamps: Increases sensitivity by applying pressure to her nipples. 

Sex Toys, likewise, are a good choice. My favorites include; 

  • Anal Plug: Great for anal play. 
  • G-Spot Vibrator: Targets her G-spot.
  • Clit Sucker: Uses suction to stimulate her clitoris, often leading to powerful and fast orgasms.

Make sure to opt for a high-quality toy and have some lube ready to ensure safety.

Tip #5 - Try Out Some Roleplay

Role-playing spices up rough sex by allowing you to adopt different characters and scenarios.

You could act as a strict police officer and your partner as a rule-breaking criminal.

Alternatively, she could be a secretary who hasn't followed instructions.

This approach helps you explore new fantasies safely and without judgment.

It also establishes clear boundaries and expectations from the start.

Tip #6 - Engage In Aftercare

After rough play, care for each other's emotional and physical state.

  • Checking each other for any discomfort or soreness.
  • Hydrate with water or a sports drink to replenish energy.
  • Engage in soothing activities such as cuddling or discussing the experience together. 

Especially after a rough session, aftercare is a must to ensure both of you feel safe, seen and connected.


A Woman's Perspective...
On Rough Sex

from Isabel
SEXUALITY COACH

Many women enjoy rough sex for the intense desire and assertiveness it brings out in their partners and themselves.

While a lot of women fantasize about being ravished and manhandled, some feel it is wrong to ask for it or to express even rougher fantasies like consensual rape scenarios.

The desire to be passionately pursued makes rough play so tempting. It can allow women to explore deep-seated desires and experience a strong, engulfing passion, leaving them feeling highly liberated and ecstatic.

It's important to understand that true dominance in rough sex scenarios comes from a place of love, not rage or aggression—a common misunderstanding when talking about rough bedroom activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a sex and relationship coach, I often get asked about intimacy and sex. These are a few hot questions you might have regarding rough sex. 

What exactly is consensual rough sex?

Rough sex is when things get a bit more intense and physical. It can include actions like biting, spanking or being more forceful than usual. It's all about ramping up the excitement.

Is rough sex safe?

Yes, rough sex can be totally safe as long as everyone agrees on the boundaries, uses safe words, and keeps communication open about what feels good and what doesn't.

What to do if I hurt my partner when we engage in rough sex?

If you accidentally hurt your partner, stop what you're doing right away. Make sure they're okay, take care of any injuries, and talk about what went wrong. It’s a good chance to learn and tweak things for next time.

Do women like rough sex?

Like anyone, some women are into rough sex, and some aren't. It really depends on personal taste. For those who like it, it can make them feel more connected and add a thrill.

Always best to chat about it first to make sure everyone's on the same page.
