Why does it feel especially good when both partners are lying in opposite positions, with the woman facing down?
Deep insertion + precise G-spot/A-spot stimulation (a miracle for female orgasm)
The woman lies face down with her pelvis pressed downwards, and the angle of her vagina is...Compression downwardWhen the penis is inserted, it naturallyUpward tilt + downward tiltEach time the glans enters and exits, it scrapes forcefully.anterior vaginal wall（Point G(5–8cm). If the woman leans back or the man slightly raises his hips, the depth can be lightly pushed in.Point A (anterior fornix, 10–12 cm)It is located near the cervix.
Many people have tried it and said: "Traditional female-on-top positions don't penetrate deep enough. Here, it directly hits the front wall of the cervix. The G-spot is scraped until the legs go weak, and the A-spot is touched like an electric current running through the whole body. The orgasm comes quickly and intensely."
Gravity helps the woman's pelvis sink down, and the base of the penis presses tightly against the labia/pubic bone, creating a sensation of "the entire penis being swallowed up + full friction against the anterior wall".
Clitoral indirect rubbing + pelvic pressure (clitoral orgasm is more likely to be intense)
The woman lies face down with her legs together or slightly apart, her clitoris close to the man's pubic bone. When the woman rocks back and forth/in circles...Gently press the clitoris against the male's pelvis or the base of the penis.This creates regular, indirect friction. Over 701 TP3T women achieve orgasm through the clitoris, and this position is perfect for this.Continuous, low-intensity stimulation.
The woman can reach down and touch her clitoris, or the man can reach down and scratch it from below. Under this double attack, "the more you rub, the itchier it gets, and the more you rub, the more you want it."
The vaginal walls grip tightly, creating an intense feeling of being enveloped (the man experiences intense pleasure from being squeezed).
The woman lies face down with her legs together, narrowing the vaginal space and gripping the penis extremely tightly. The man feels "warm and tightly enveloped + every movement feels like being sucked in." The angled position allows the glans to be rubbed against the anterior wall, resulting in a higher level of pleasure than the standard woman-on-top position.
Full-body contact + a dominant/submissive mentality (intimacy + taboo factor at its peak)
The woman lies face down on top of the man, her chest against his abdomen/chest, her buttocks against his pelvis, and her legs against his legs, with full skin-to-skin contact and synchronized heat/heartbeats. Although they are facing opposite directions and cannot see each other's faces, the man can kiss/bite the back of the woman's neck/ear and whisper dirty words in her ear.
The woman feels "subdued and can only endure his thrusts," exhibiting a strong sense of submission; the man feels "she's enjoying using my body," experiencing an overwhelming sense of conquest. Visually, the man sees the woman's shapely buttocks/back curves swaying, doubling the sense of taboo.
Low stamina + high endurance (lazy person friendly)
The man lies completely flat, exerting almost no effort (only slightly thrusting or hugging the waist). The woman lies prone, using the bed for support, without needing to kneel, resulting in minimal energy expenditure. The rhythm is easy to control: slow, grinding build-up → deep thrusting and climax, lasting 15-30 minutes is perfectly normal.
Practical skills
Start slowlyThe woman sits fully down and rocks back and forth/circles for 5-10 minutes to warm up her G-spot/A-spot, while her clitoris rubs against the man's pubic bone.
Angle fine adjustment:
- The woman leans forward (supporting herself on the man's legs): the G-spot is scraped most vigorously + the clitoris is rubbed intensely.
- The woman leans back (to the man's chest): Deep thrust to point A + maximum depth.
- The woman stands upright and sways slightly: the vaginal walls are fully rubbed together and the vagina is squeezed at its tightest.
Bonus points for hands:
- The woman touches her clitoris/breasts.
- The man reached out and touched the clitoris, grabbed the buttocks/chest, and patted the buttocks lightly.
RhythmSlow grinding → medium-speed short thrusts → deep, full thrusts before climax. Pause for 5 seconds at the edge before continuing (edging) for a stronger climax.
Add propsVibrating ring (vibrates the clitoris and base); lubricant (for deep and smooth application); pillow to support the man's buttocks (for a more lifted angle).
SafetyAvoid excessively vigorous up-and-down movements (which can easily cause the penis to slip and bend); stop if the woman feels cervical pain; communication is paramount.

Many people who have tried it say: "The deeper you thrust, the more you grind, the more you want to stop. The woman experiences an incredible orgasm, and the man's legs go weak from holding on."
