Sex Positions for Gay Couples – Reading time approx: 10 minutes


Trying out these gay sex positions is a wonderful way to maintain the passion as a couple. So let’s look at some of the most interesting positions out there for gay couples.

But first…….

What you need to know about gay sex

Sex positions for gay couples are basically just variations of classic sex positions. The difference of course, is that they mostly involve anal sex.

You can have anal sex in both active and passive positions, it really doesn’t matter at all and it just depends on your preference.

If you’re wanting to try sex with another man for the first time, you should always approach it slowly. Maybe you’re just curious about which gay sex positions are best for you? To get you started, you’ll find some of the best here.

So let’s get started on the sex positions for gay couples:


#1 – The Missionary Position

The classic. Not only suitable for heteros, but also for gay couples. In this position, the lower person lies on the back with spread legs. The active partner is on top, so that both are facing each other. The upper partner penetrates the lower one.

The penetration from this angle allows intimate eye contact, and also some kissing. There are various types of this position, such as wrapping your legs around your partner.

Additionally, you can provide some stabilizing using a pillow under the back, making this sexual position a really pleasant experience.

#2 – Gay Doggy-Style

Of course, doggy-style is not one to be missed. Admittedly, this position is less intimate than the missionary position, however it enables better penetration, and thus more stimulation for both the active, and also the passive partner.

However, beginners should remember to start off slowly. It is always important not to forget the lubricant.  And remember that fun with anal sex is also called Greek sex!

In doggy-style, the passive (also known as ‘bottom’) is on all fours, whilst the active partner kneels behind him. To support him, he will often hold the hips (or alternatively pull the hair).

Prostate stimulation is particularly good in this position!

#3 – Doggy-Style Lying Down

An alternative to the classic doggy style is to simply perform the sex position lying down. The ‘bottom’ is not on all fours, but is simply lying on his belly.

In this position gay men become much more intimate, so it’s definitely worth trying it!

#4 – The Octopus

This position has many names, but the term octopus is still most the apt in terms of the versatility of this position. Imagine a typical missionary position in which the ‘bottom’ literally has his legs over the top’s head.

This is a great position, because it creates a perfect intimacy between you and your partner. They can reach into your hair, hug your waist, caress your stomach, or just look longingly and deep into your eyes to show how his passion is in the moment.

#5 – The Blowjob

Of course, the blowjob must definitely not be missed! A really good blowjob makes your partner extremely happy! After all, it’s probably one of the best gay sex positions.

Most people see the blowjob as a kind of foreplay, but it can also be the full program from time to time. Most gay guys love getting blown to orgasm.  

So spoil your lover with your mouth!

#6 – The 69-Man Position

Since we are on the subject of blowjobs, there is always the possibility for you to receive a blowjob at the same time. This makes for a very popular 69 position!

Polls revealed that it is one of the most popular sex positions for gay couples. So let’s get going!

Lay down 180 degrees turned to your partner so that you are in position with your mouth in line with his dick. At the same time, he is right on your dick too, so now you can start to spoil each other.

By the way, you don’t necessarily just have to spoil the penis of your partner. You can also give each other a rim job, another favourite for gay men. (A guide to anilingus can be found here)

Some people don’t like this position since it requires you to multitask. But for most, on the other hand, they swear by this position!

#7 Inverted Tree Frog

Imagine the upside-down rider position. The top is on his back, while the bottom turns to it with his back. Instead of on his knees, he stands on his feet and uses the soles of his feet to balance while positioning his hands between the legs of the top. In this position, the bottom is in the frog position and looks away from the partner.

#8 – The Helicopter Position

Here we bring you one of our special gay sex positions.

The bottom is on the belly. Then the top is on it (similar to the doggy but backwards), since he has to turn 180 degrees. So the heads of the two point in opposite directions.

Sex-tellness is something for you if you’re keen to experiment! It requires some practice, skill and flexibility. But it’s definitely worth it!

#9 – Doggy-Style Standing

Doggy-style doesn’t always have to take place on all fours. In fact, it is much more exciting to stand up because it allows more creativity in moments of passion where it gets really horny.

For gay men in the United Kingdom, have you ever thought about becoming a camboy and having hot sex on camera?

When the bottom is bent over and his hand rest on something that is at the height of his hip, the top has easy ways to hit his target. This position is super-simple and makes penetration a lot easier.

To bring some spice in, the bottom can put his leg on a table, which gives the top the opportunity to better access. But the biggest thing is when both are completely bent to the ground. Woof woof!

#10 – The Spoon Position for Gays

Spooning is one of the most intimate gay-sex positions. Both partners are on their side, on the outside there is the “big spoon” that penetrates into the partner (see photo).

The upper thigh of the “small spoon” should be raised a bit to allow better penetration!

This sex position requires very close body contact. That’s why it’s more suitable for gay couples than for a one-night stand, or a short affair.

#11 – Armchair Games

An armchair (or other chair) is probably the best investment you can make in your love life. There is a huge selection of positions where everyone really gets a chance to have some real fun.

The ‘straddle’ is probably the most popular position, because there are so many variations. You can do it by looking at yourself, or belly to back, as long as the top has a good hold, it always leads to really good sex.

#12 – Equestrian Position Classic

The rider position is suitable for all levels of experience, and this allows for a shift of control. While normally the penetrating (or active) partner has the reins in his hand, it is the other way around here!

The bottom in this case, actually sits on top thereby determining the pace, direction and depth of penetration. Although this is one of the best gay sex positions, it often fails to stimulate the prostate!

#13 – Rider Position Backwards

The alternative to the standard rider position, is to simply sit the other way around.

The angle of entry from the penis is slightly different in this position, which provides new stimulation. So, why not just try it out?

#14 – Hook and Eyelet

If you love to cuddle, then this is the perfect position for you. For example, if you’re both on your side (like the spoon position) and you’re really fucking, there are a lot of ways to bring a little spice to the game. The bottom can lift his leg, the top can put his arms around the bottom or the bottom can grab the leg of the top to let it penetrate deeper.

And because I’m probably the most kinky person you’ve ever met… here is a tip that will give the ultimate spice in your love life:

Give your partner a surprise. This is sexy, fun, and raises the adrenaline level to the best ever: your partner will be impressed by the fact that you have taken the initiative and simply suck that penis. Especially when you’re doing it at a time when he least expects it. And you will certainly be rewarded for it!


Notes when applying gay positions

If you have read everything so far, then you will have a good insight into the best gay sex positions for you to try. But before you scream into action, you should consider a few more points.

Don’t give up ‘Safer Sex’. Especially in the case of sex with homosexuals, the risk of infection with HIV and other STI’s is very high. Therefore, you always want wear a condom.

Yes, I know what you think. It’s less fun if you use one, it makes everything more boring and it slips more.

That’s why you should always use gliding gel. Because that way you can penetrate your partner much easier. If you are a beginner and haven’t had (passive) sex as often, you should try creams. Your rosette is loosened and numbed a bit, so you can fully enjoy the pleasure of one of our best gay sex positions.

If you feel like pampering your sex partner properly, you can blow his cock again at the end and also swallow his sperm. That’s guaranteed to be a hit!
