Anal: receiver on top
Also known as anal cowgirlriding analreceiver control anal
In receiver-on-top anal, the receiving partner straddles from above and controls all the depth, angle, and pace — a common recommendation for beginners because control sits entirely with the receiver.
The gist
When the receiving partner is on top, they decide everything — how deep, how fast, and when to pause — which makes it one of the most reassuring anal positions to start with. As with all anal play, unhurried warm-up and plenty of lubrication come first.
Step by step
The other partner lies back comfortably.
After thorough warm-up and lubrication, the receiving partner straddles above.
They lower down slowly, controlling every bit of the depth and pace.
Pause whenever needed; there's no rush.
Tips
- Receiver-on-top puts the receiving partner fully in charge — lean into that.
- Lowering by small increments, with pauses, keeps it comfortable.

Anal: side-by-side
The side-by-side anal position has both partners lying on their sides, one behind the other — widely recommended for first-timers because it's the most relaxed, low-pressure angle.
