The Stairway
Also known as on the stairsstaircasestep position
The Stairway uses a staircase to stagger heights — the receiving partner rests a few steps up while the other stands below — turning an everyday spot into a spontaneous change of scene.
The gist
A location-driven position more than a technique: a staircase naturally solves height differences, letting the receiving partner sit or lean a few steps up while the other stands on a lower step. It's about spontaneity and novelty — a change of setting that makes the familiar feel new.
Step by step
The receiving partner sits or leans back a few steps up.
The other stands on a lower step, finding a height that lines up.
Brace against the wall or banister for stability.
Keep movements controlled — stairs are hard, so cushion where you can.
Tips
- Carpeted stairs or a folded blanket save knees, elbows, and backs.
- Safety first: keep a firm grip on the banister and don't overreach for an angle.

Standing
Standing positions have one or both partners upright — often against a wall or supportive surface — for a spontaneous, energetic change of scenery.
Bent over (standing rear-entry)
Bent over is a standing rear-entry position where the receiving partner leans forward over a bed, table, or counter while the other enters from behind — spontaneous and easy on the knees.
