A reality TV star's confession about the eagle sex position crashed a prominent adult website. The position has become so popular that it ranks as the #1 searched intimate position in Alabama, Maine, and Rhode Island.

People also call it the spread eagle position. The arrangement lets partners achieve deep penetration and G-spot stimulation through specific body positions and angles. Several variations exist, such as the Broken Eagle and Soaring Eagle. However, newcomers should learn the simple form first to stay safe and comfortable.

This piece explains what beginners should know about the eagle sex position. They'll learn about proper body positioning, safety tips, and ways to modify the position based on their body type and flexibility.

What is the Eagle Sex Position

The eagle sex position is a twist on the missionary position that creates a unique experience with deeper intimacy and pleasure. People are really interested in this position - it got over 150,000 searches in just one month.

Simple position mechanics

The receiving partner lies on their back with legs spread in a V-shape that looks like eagle wings. The top partner positions themselves like in missionary style, which allows deeper access and penetration. This setup lets the top partner's hands roam freely for extra stimulation.

You can try these variations of the eagle position:

• The Spread Eagle: The most common form where the bottom partner spreads their legs wide while lying back
• The Exposed Eagle: A seated variation where the receiving partner arches backward across their partner's legs
• The Soaring Eagle: An advanced version that needs lots of flexibility, with legs bent toward the ears

The position works well for vaginal penetration, anal stimulation, or manual pleasure. Partners with height differences can modify it by having the receiving partner lie at the edge of a bed or counter while their partner stands.

Why it's popular

People love the eagle position because it makes sex feel better in several ways. We found that this position allows deeper penetration than regular positions. The angle hits the G-spot just right, which can lead to more pleasure.

This position has clear benefits:

• Easy access for manual stimulation during sex
• More skin-to-skin contact between partners
• Partners can look into each other's eyes

The eagle position is a favorite in many places. It ranks first in London, Newcastle, Glasgow, Coventry, Manchester, Plymouth, Swansea, and Sheffield. About 36% of people in the East of England say it's their top choice.

Beyond the physical aspects, the eagle position creates an exciting power dynamic. Some couples use restraints to spice things up, but this needs both partners to agree and communicate clearly. The position naturally makes the receiving partner feel vulnerable yet excited while both partners stay comfortable and in control.

Couples often use pillows or sex wedges to make things more comfortable and pleasurable. These props help lift the receiving partner's hips and create better angles. Using lubricant also makes everything smoother and more comfortable, especially during deep penetration.

Getting Started Safely

Safety should be your top priority before trying the eagle sex position. Good preparation and communication will help both partners enjoy this intimate experience safely and comfortably.

Required flexibility level

The eagle position doesn't need extreme flexibility. Your experience will be better with more flexibility, but partners can adjust the position based on what their bodies can do. People with average health and fitness can do this position just fine.

If you're trying this for the first time, here are some flexibility options:

• Keep legs straight instead of bent to reduce strain
• Make a smaller V-shape rather than forcing legs too wide
• Try the "happy baby" yoga pose version for more comfort

Important preparation steps

Your physical and mental prep will substantially affect how well this position works. Here's what partners should do before trying the eagle position:

1. Warm-up exercises: Get your muscles ready with light activities like dancing or walking
2. Stretching routine: Work on:
   • Quad muscles if you're the receiving partner
   • Back muscles if you're the penetrating partner
3. Support setup: Put pillows or sex wedges under the receiving partner's hips for the best angle and comfort
4. Lubrication: Use plenty of lube to reduce friction and boost comfort

Setting up safety measures beforehand is vital. Pick a safe word or signal that you both can use if things get uncomfortable. People with lower back issues should watch their positioning and might want to use props for support.

Communication tips

Good communication is the foundation of a great experience with the eagle position. You should talk things through in three phases:

Before the encounter:

• Talk openly about physical limits and boundaries
• Show you're willing and excited
• Set up non-verbal signals for comfort levels

During the activity:

• Check in regularly about comfort
• Ask things like "Is this comfortable?" or "Want to keep going?"
• Give quick feedback about angle changes

Post-experience:

• Talk about what felt good
• Share ideas to make it better next time
• Bring up any concerns

Consent needs to stay active throughout your encounter. Both partners should feel free to change or stop if something doesn't feel right. The eagle position puts you in a vulnerable spot, so building trust through open talk makes everything better - physically and emotionally.

This position has a special benefit for couples still getting comfortable with talking during sex. The receiving partner can adjust their legs naturally without saying much, which works well if you prefer using non-verbal signals.

Step-by-Step Guide

You need careful attention to detail and proper technique to become skilled at the eagle sex position. Both partners will experience maximum pleasure while staying comfortable and safe by doing this.

Starting position

The receiving partner should lie flat on their back on a comfortable surface. Their legs need to go upward to form a distinctive V-shape that looks like eagle wings. The receiving partner can raise their hips a bit to meet their partner's body.

The penetrating partner kneels and places their hands on each side of their partner's body for stability. This position gives better control over movement and penetration depth. A slower pace at first lets both partners adjust comfortably.

Proper arrangement

The right arrangement is vital for mutual satisfaction. The penetrating partner should be directly between their partner's spread legs. They can improve stability by:

• Using one hand for support while guiding their partner's leg with the other
• Balancing their weight on both knees
• Keeping their spine straight to avoid strain

The receiving partner's position shapes the experience significantly. They can try different leg positions:

• Letting legs float freely in the air
• Hooking legs into their partner's inner elbows
• Putting one or both legs over their partner's shoulders

Finding the right angle

Partners need patience and good communication to find the perfect angle. The penetrating partner should keep steady pressure against the vagina's front wall. This focused stimulation improves the receiving partner's pleasure.

These techniques help get the best angle:

1. Hip elevation: Put pillows under the receiving partner's hips for an ideal tilt
2. Leg positioning: Change leg spread width to control depth and intensity
3. Upper body support: The penetrating partner can change arm placement to adjust entry angle

The receiving partner stays active by slightly bending their knees or moving their hips to adjust stimulation. These movements help achieve better clitoral contact and increase overall pleasure.

Firm, rhythmic strokes work best for maximum stimulation. The position naturally allows deeper penetration, so starting slowly helps both partners find their comfort zone. Couples can gradually explore different angles and depths as arousal builds.

The penetrating partner should keep steady control while paying attention to their partner's responses. Both partners should talk about their priorities for speed, depth, and angle changes. This open communication helps everyone stay comfortable and involved throughout.

Making it More Comfortable

Comfort is a vital part of making intimate encounters more pleasurable. The eagle position might look complex, but it becomes more enjoyable when you add proper support and adapt it for different body types.

Using pillows and props

The right placement of supportive props can boost both comfort and pleasure during the eagle position. A sex wedge under the receiving partner's hips creates the best angle for vaginal penetration and pelvic arrangement. Regular pillows work just as well and give needed support that lasts throughout the encounter.

Couples who want to try this position will find these prop arrangements helpful:

• Sex furniture or wedge pillows made just for intimate activities
• Rolled blankets placed carefully for leg support
• Supportive cushions under pressure points

The Coital Alignment Technique (CAT) offers another good change. This method puts a pillow under the receiving partner's buttocks and lets them get better clitoral stimulation through body contact. Couples who practice on the floor can put chairs on both sides to hold up elevated legs.

Adjusting for different body types

Partners' physical differences need smart adjustments to make sure everyone enjoys themselves. The eagle position works with most body types through simple changes that keep its benefits while putting comfort first.

Height differences between partners can be handled by:

• Using ergonomic wedge pillows that give angles regular pillows can't
• Trying edge-of-bed versions where one partner stands
• Adding furniture to create height options and extra support points

Flexibility matters just as much. Partners who can't move as easily should:

• Bend their knees a bit instead of keeping legs straight
• Hold calves, knees, or thighs instead of ankles for better balance
• Try a "half eagle" or "quarter eagle" version with legs partly raised

The receiving partner can control penetration depth through several ways:

• Hold their partner's penis or strap-on base to manage depth
• Use special buffers like the Ohnut for depth control
• Change hip position with props to find the right angle

Furniture helps partners who feel tired during longer sessions. This change cuts down on fatigue but keeps the position's pleasant aspects. Props that keep legs up without constant muscle use help partners with less strength or mobility.

Success comes from slow exploration and open talk between partners. They should try different prop setups and position changes until they find what works best. Patient adjustments and ongoing conversation help couples find personal changes that make things more comfortable and enjoyable while keeping their intimate connection strong.

Common Beginner Mistakes

Couples new to the eagle sex position face several challenges. Learning about these common mistakes will help you guide this intimate setup more smoothly.

Overextending

Physical strain is the biggest problem for beginners who try the eagle position. Many couples rush into stretching too far too fast. Muscle strains happen most often when partners:

• Force legs into extreme positions without proper warm-up
• Stay in challenging angles too long
• Don't pay attention to body discomfort signals

The receiving partner should work on hamstring flexibility since this position just needs modest flexibility levels. The penetrating partner must watch their back muscles to avoid strain.

Poor communication

Good dialog is vital but many couples skip it in this position. People often don't speak up about discomfort or adjustments they need, which leads to less enjoyable experiences. Clear communication will give a better sexual experience and stronger relationship bonds.

New couples should talk about:

• How comfortable they feel throughout
• What speed and depth works best
• Any physical limits or worries

The mental side of this position creates special communication challenges. The eagle position naturally puts one partner in a more exposed state, so open dialog is vital to keep trust and comfort.

Wrong angle positioning

Bad positioning is maybe even the most frequent technical mistake beginners make. The wrong angle can hurt, especially when the penetrating partner sits too high or low. Here's what causes poor arrangement:

1. Height Mismatches: Partners don't account for height differences
2. Hip Elevation: Not enough support under the receiving partner's hips
3. Leg Positioning: Wrong leg spread that causes strain or less pleasure

To stay comfortable, couples should know:

• The receiving partner's upper body stays flat
• Hip elevation with pillow support helps find better angles
• Starting slow lets you adjust angles better

Beginners often miss how important arousal levels are when trying this position. Full arousal helps the body prepare, especially for the receiving partner. Without good preparation, you might feel discomfort or pain whatever your position.

More tips include:

• Use plenty of lubricant to cut down friction
• Don't make quick moves until you find comfortable angles
• Change positions slowly instead of suddenly

If you're having trouble, start with other positions first. The spooning position is a great starting point before moving to the eagle. Standing versions are options for couples who don't deal very well with traditional positions.

Note that everyone's body type and flexibility levels differ by a lot. What feels perfect for one couple might need changes for another. Focus on finding your comfort zone instead of copying perfect versions of the position.

Your Turn

The eagle sex position might look complicated at first, but it gives couples a chance to experience both deep penetration and face-to-face intimacy. Your success with this position depends on taking time to learn what works and talking openly with your partner.

Here are the simple things new couples should know to have a good experience:

• Start with the basic versions before trying anything advanced
• Get comfortable with pillows or wedges for support
• Keep talking about what feels right
• Change positions slowly instead of all at once

Many couples love the eagle position because it works well for different body types and flexibility levels. When partners take time to get the position right, respect their physical limits, and make sure they're both comfortable, this position often becomes one of their favorites.

The best approach isn't about getting everything perfect. Instead, couples should take their time to find what works best through careful practice and honest conversation. The real joy comes from learning and growing together as partners.
