Sex tips 10 - Sex standing against the wall

This form of intercourse is associated with the urgency of early sexual attraction and takes on an especially intense eroticism all of its own. We don't recommend resorting to it in the very first instances of having sex. That's because it's too rapid, too urgent, can be almost violent. This is wonderful when you already know that sex between you is amazing and a rare intimacy is evolving. But this position could be potentially disturbing during earlier days when none of these things are yet established.

This sex position is pretty easy but for those who have never experienced it, here's how you do it:

Lean your woman with her back to the wall with her legs slightly apart. Support her at the rear with one hand while helping to insert your penis with the other. If she is short, you may have to lift her slightly. You may also have to bend your legs so that your penis is suitably angled. Don't forget that every time you thrust you crash her into the wall - so do your best to partly cushion her back with a free hand. This is exciting as long as your woman is shorter than you. Because of the height difference, you cannot help thrusting upwards and if you press in close your penis should be able to rub and thrust near or possibly on her clitoris. But the position's strongest advantage is that it reeks of excitement, urgency and lust. It can be a massive turn-on in itself.

Wikipedia on standing sex positions

The Perfumed Garden offers some extremely useful variations of the upright position, including the powerfully athletic Driving the Peg Home, where the male actually lifts the female off the ground until her vagina is at right angles to his upright penis and her knees grasp his thighs as if she were riding a horse. There is also a See-Saw version where the woman hitches one leg over her partner's thigh, thus offering a wider and more comfortable stimulation, and where the couple are exhorted to take it in turns to thrust, first one, then the other, a kind of alternative in-and-out so that each partner gains a sense of control and a choice of angle.

A range of sex positions outlined in the ancient Tao of Sex

Man on top sex position - the swallows

In this man-on-top position, the man lies with his legs straight out behind him while she extends her straight legs at a slight angle to him so that the couple takes on the v-shaped tail of the swallow. She meanwhile grasps his waist with both hands while he lies over her kissing her neck.

Side by side sex position - the fishes

In this side-by-side intercourse each partner lies with legs stretched down, top leg resting on the lower one. He helps her raise her legs off the ground by holding her thighs with the hand he is not leaning on, so that her thighs rest across his. Viewed from the side the couple looks like a pair of fish waving their tails slowly around each other.

Woman on top position -  the butterflies

This is a woman-on-top variation where the couple lies with their feet straight out and where she rests her toes on his feet and pushes herself up off from his toes. Once intercourse has begun, both partners hold hands and stretch out their arms to the side. As she pushes off with her feet she rears her head and then lowers it on relaxation. The overall effect is like the slow flapping of butterfly wings.
